Getting Recrawled by Google
-
I have been updating my site a lot and some of the updates are showing up in Google and some are not. Is there a best practice in getting your site fully recrawled by Google?

If your site does not get crawl completely, i will recommend
a) To create a site-map, so that search engines can understand the site hierarchy and can deep crawl the site
b) Look at your site structure, Make your site more organized so as to have better crawl. It should not happen that a user needs to visit - home page > category page > sub category page > article or below to read the article. At best, article snippet should come on home page for a day. If not, should be accessible from home page > category page > article
c) Submit the article posted to Social Media - Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter etc. It will help search engines discover your link faster
By sure - will improve the crawl mechanism to your site

Hi,
Yes here is a link to some good info & tips
http://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/advanced-seo-troubleshooting-why-isnt-this-page-indexed/
Absolutely. Make sure you have a fast hosting company hosting your website.
Make sure there's no flash, Ajax, or JavaScript obscuring your site from Google bot
Make sure your robots.txt file is not no following or no indexing any thing that you want to be found by Google
Same goes for your tags
- noindex X-Robots-Tag in HTTP header (X-Robots-Tag: noindex)
- Incorrect mime type declared in HTTP header. For example, for an HTML document, if it was declared as Content-Type: text/javascript
You can use Google Webmaster tools and the selection fetches Google bot and submit all URLs to index if you want to make sure it is being indexed in Google knows that you want the site indexed.
I hope I've been out sincerely,
Thomas

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

Google Indexing of Site Map
We recently launched a new site - on June 4th we submitted our site map to google and almost instantly had all 25,000 URL's crawled (yay!). On June 18th, we made some updates to the title & description tags for the majority of pages on our site and added new content to our home page so we submitted a new sitemap. So far the results have been underwhelming and google has indexed a very low number of the updated pages. As a result, only a handful of the new titles and descriptions are showing up on the SERP pages. Any ideas as to why this might be? What are the tricks to having google re-index all of the URLs in a sitemap?

Site being indexed by Google before it has launched
We are currently coming towards the end of a site migration, and are at the final stage of testing redirects etc. However, to our horror we've just discovered Google has started indexing the new site. Any ideas on how this could have happened? I have most recently asked for robots.txt to exclude anything with a certain parameter in URL. Is there a chance this, wrongly implemented, could have caused this?

UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk
Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks

Where to get expert SEO help?
I joined SEOmoz knowing very little about SEO (it turns out even less than I thought!) I signed up because my business website that had be ranking very well for years made a fast and furious fall to the purgatory of page 2, 3, whatever. We'll I've definitely learned a lot and made a several changes that have helped. Specifically link building (directory submissions) and eliminating duplicate content. But we're still far below where we used to be and I've done everything I can do without making a career change to SEO. I've hired a few offshore SEOs to help but they have all failed to live up to their promises. So, I would love to find a GOOD SEO that can 1. Fix the remaining on-page technical issues in our CMS website (Business Catalyst), and 2. help us develop an SEO strategy for the next year. (I prefer not to post the name of the website for competitive reasons) Our keywords are really not very competitive at all due to the uniqueness of the business. Where should I look for help? Thanks
