Double check your redirects again. When I tried to check your backlinks, I was showing redirects between tasteinc.com, www.tasteinc.com, and www.tasteinc.com/ Every time I tried to find the profile using one of those links, it would tell me that it redirects to another one of those.
I didn't have a problem going to your site, but the way that software was trying to crawl things, I would double check that again. That's the only issue that I saw. Has the site been up long?

Tried to crawl your site with Screaming Frog and noticed that your http response header contains a x-robots-tag which is being set to noindex, nofollow.
You can check your http headers on this site: http://web-sniffer.net/

I would agree with Mike you can see how here - https://support.google.com/sites/answer/100283?hl=en-GB
How long have you had the site up for? Remember it can take time for it to get crawled. You can ask google to crawl a page but this can still take time.
Good luck.

Hi Craig,
Did you submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools?

Dead end pages are really an issue?
Hi all, We have many pages which are help guides to our features. These pages do not have anymore outgoing links (internal / external). We haven't linked as these are already 4th level pages and specific about particular topic. So these are technically dead end pages. Do these pages really hurt us? We need to link to some other pages? Thanks

1. DDoS protection system.

2. Overloaded or misconfigured server They asked me to talk to my hosting company about this issue and he's at a loss (I don't think he knows everything he needs to know potentially). Have you seen these issues before? Where is the best spot to start troubleshooting this issue?0 -

Best method to stop crawler access to extra Nav Menu
Our shop site has a 3 tier drop down mega-menu so it's easy to find your way to anything from anywhere. It contains about 150 links and probably 300 words of text. We also have a more context-driven single layer of sub-category navigation as well as breadcrumbs on our category pages. You can get to every product and category page without using the drop down mega-menu. Although the mega-menu is a helpful tool for customers, it means that every single page in our shop has an extra 150 links on it that go to stuff that isn't necessarily related or relevant to the page content. This means that when viewed from the context of a crawler, rather than a nice tree like crawling structure, we've got more of an unstructured mesh where everything is linked to everything else. I'd like to hide the mega-menu links from being picked up by a crawler, but what's the best way to do this? I can add a nofollow to all mega-menu links, but are the links still registered as page content even if they're not followed? It's a lot of text if nothing else. Another possibility we're considering is to set the mega-menu to only populate with links when it's main button is hovered over. So it's not part of the initial page load content at all. Or we could use a crude yet effective system we have used for some other menus we have of base encoding the content inline so it's not readable by a spider. What would you do and why? Thanks, James

Landing Page/Home Page issues
Hi. I was speaking with my designer last night (we are setting up a new website) and we were discussing the design of our homepage, now the designer said he wanted the first page of the website to be a sort of landing page page were the visitor has to click and enter, im sure everyone has all come across these before. However, I am concerned as to the SEO implications of this? Any help guys?
