Number of indexed pages dropped dramatically
-
The number of indexed pages for my site was 1100 yesterday and today is 344
Anybody has any idea what can cause this.
Thank you

It is unlikely that having links from MyBlogGuest would cause a drop in indexed pages like that. Where are you seeing this drop in indexed pages? Is it being reported in Moz or Google Webmaster tools? Also, do you have Google Analytics set up for your site to check other metrics? A large drop in indexed pages does not necessarily mean something wrong (canonical tags, cleaning up duplicate content, reporting errors, noindex tags, etc. can all cause a drop in indexed pages).

Nothing has been change since yesterday.
I read the news about MyBlogGuest today. I don't know much about SEO but is it possible that these two related, if I had a link there

Have you seen any corresponding drops in traffic? Have you made any recent changes? Redirects, canonicals, site remodel, link restructuring, changed hosting, updated your CMS, etc. etc. It'll be a bit unlikely someone will come up with the correct reason without more information.

Extreme high number of pages found on webshop
Hi, Im working for the first time on a magento webshop. But i run into a problem where crawlers find then thousands of pages while there are a few hunderd products. I expect is has something to do with filters that generate dynamic URL's. I can't find any setting in Magento to prevent this and i think this will hurt SEO performance because of duplicate content and high amount of pages that need to be crawled while the site has no authority. What would my approach be to solve this? Do i need to ad certain tags to the pages or are these settings in my robots file.

Will redirecting a logged in user from a public page to an equivalent private page (not visible to google) impact SEO?
Hi, We have public pages that can obviously be visited by our registered members. When they visit these public pages + they are logged in to our site, we want to redirect them to the equivalent (richer) page on the private site e.g. a logged in user visiting /public/contentA will be redirected to /private/contentA Note: Our /public pages are indexed by Google whereas /private pages are excluded. a) will this affect our SEO? b) if not, is 302 the best http status code to use? Cheers

Home Page Ranking Instead of Service Pages
Hi everyone! I've noticed that many of our clients have pages addressing specific queries related to specific services on their websites, but that the Home Page is increasingly showing as the "ranking" page. For example, a plastic surgeon we work with has a page specifically talking about his breast augmentation procedure for Miami, FL but instead of THAT page showing in the search results, Google is using his home page. Noticing this across the board. Any insights? Should we still be optimizing these specific service pages? Should I be spending time trying to make sure Google ranks the page specifically addressing that query because it SHOULD perform better? Thanks for the help. Confused SEO :/, Ricky Shockley

How to get Google to index another page
Hi, I will try to make my question clear, although it is a bit complex. For my site the most important keyword is "Insurance" or at least the danish variation of this. My problem is that Google are'nt indexing my frontpage on this, but are indexing a subpage - www.mydomain.dk/insurance instead of www.mydomain.dk. My link bulding will be to subpages and to my main domain, but i wont be able to get that many links to www.mydomain.dk/insurance. So im interested in making my frontpage the page that is my main page for the keyword insurance, but without just blowing the traffic im getting from the subpage at the moment. Is there any solutions to do this? Thanks in advance.
