Google Indexing our site
-
We have 700 city pages on our site. We submitted to google via a https://www.samhillbands.com/sitemaps/locations.xml but they only indexed 15 so far.
Yes the content is similar on all of the pages...thought on getting them to index the remaining pages?

Hi Brian,
809 over 863 is over the 93% of the site indexed. I'd wait a little more.
Also, I dont think that i will add value that you manually submit the URLs that you think are not indexed.A reminder, WMT is being realy delayed on the latest information shown. In my case, the last record is from 4th may.

site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
says about 809 results for /bands-by-location/
Webmaster tools says 730 out of 862 submitted.
Is there any value to manually submitting the URLS that are on my sitemap but not being indexed?
-
If it's been a couple of weeks, should I manually submit the URLS's that haven't been indexed?
-
It's hard to say...our number of pages indexed was climbing, and I checked today and now it says my sitemap is pending?
-
Hi Brian! Any update? Are you still waiting for your site to be indexed?
-
You submitted those yesterday? You should wait more time. I'd wait for about 1-2 weeks for a correct number. Remember that Google takes its time to index.
I've had site for that amount of pages and some took about a week and others took over a month

Thanks for the response.
I have submitted my MAIN sitemap and the sumitted my LOCATION map seperatly.
All pages are set to index at the robots.txt level.
I have submitted some individual LOCATION pages and they are being indexed.
Thoughts?
I am getting that number from search console:
# Sitemap Type Processed Issues Items Submitted Indexed --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 1 /sitemaps/locations.xml Sitemap Apr 25, 2016 - Web 771 15 2 /sitemaps/sitemap.xml Sitemap index Apr 25, 2016 - Web 862 103 -
Hi there,
Where do you get the stat fo the indexed pages?
I'm seeing about 60 indexed in the subdirectory: samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/Check it yourself by searching: site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
Just to rule out, have you submitted all sitemaps to search console? Are all your pages indexable?
that last one is to be checked whether it's set to no index on the robots.txt or at every page with a meta tag.
And, have you tried indexing manually any random page and check if it's indexed?

Subdirectory site / 301 Redirects / Google Search Console
Hi There, I'm a web developer working on an existing WordPress site (Site #1) that has 900 blog posts accessible from this URL structure: www.site-1.com/title-of-the-post We've built a new website for their content (Site #2) and programmatically moved all blog posts to the second website. Here is the URL structure: www.site-1.com/site-2/title-of-the-post Site #1 will remain as a normal company site without a blog, and Site #2 will act as an online content membership platform. The original 900 posts have great link juice that we, of course, would like to maintain. We've already set up 301 redirects that take care of this process. (ie. the original post gets redirected to the same URL slug with '/site-2/' added. My questions: Do you have a recommendation about how to best handle this second website in Google Search Console? Do we submit this second website as an additional property in GSC? (which shares the same top-level-domain as the original) Currently, the sitemap.xml submitted to Google Search Console has all 900 blog posts with the old URLs. Is there any benefit / drawback to submitting another sitemap.xml from the new website which has all the same blog posts at the new URL. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Google Is Indexing my 301 Redirects to Other sites
Long story but now i have a few links from my site 301 redirecting to youtube videos or eCommerce stores. They carry a considerable amount of traffic that i benefit from so i can't take them down, and that traffic is people from other websites, so basically i have backlinks from places that i don't own, to my redirect urls (Ex. http://example.com/redirect) My problem is that google is indexing them and doesn't let them go, i have tried blocking that url from robots.txt but google is still indexing it uncrawled, i have also tried allowing google to crawl it and adding noindex from robots.txt, i have tried removing it from GWT but it pops back again after a few days. Any ideas? Thanks!

Can Google read content/see links on subscription sites?
If an article is published on The Times (for example), can Google by-pass the subscription sign-in to read the content and index the links in the article? Example: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/life/property/overseas/article4245346.ece In the above article there is a link to the resort's website but you can't see this unless you subscribe. I checked the source code of the page with the subscription prompt present and the link isn't there. Is there a way that these sites deal with search engines differently to other user agents to allow the content to be crawled and indexed?

Google is Really Slow to Index my New Website
(Sorry for my english!) A quick background: I had a website at thewebhostinghero.com which had been slapped left and right by Google (both Panda & Penguin). It also had a manual penalty for unnatural links which had been lifted in late april / early may this year. I also had another domain, webhostinghero.com, which was redirecting to thewebhostinghero.com. When I realized I would be better off starting a new website than trying to salvage thewebhostinghero.com, I removed the redirection from webhostinghero.com and started building a new website. I waited about 5 or 6 weeks before putting any content on webhostinghero.com so Google had time to notice that the domain wasn't redirecting anymore. So about a month ago, I launched http://www.webhostinghero.com with 100% new content but I left thewebhostinghero.com online because it still brings a little (necessary) income. There are no links between the websites except on one page (www.thewebhostinghero.com/speed/) which is set to "noindex,nofollow" and is disallowed to search engines in robots.txt. I made sure the web page was deindexed before adding a "nofollow" link from thewebhostinghero.com/speed => webhostinghero.com/speed Since the new website launch, I've been publishing new content (from 2 to 5 posts) daily. It's getting some traction from social networks but it gets barely any clicks from Google search. It seems to take at least a week before Google indexes new posts and not all posts are indexed. The cached copy of the homepage is 12 days old. In Google Webmaster Tools, it looks like Google isn't getting the latest sitemap version unless I resubmit it manually. It's always 4 or 5 days old. So is my website just too young or could it have some kind of penalty related to the old website? The domain has 4 or 5 really old spammy links from the previous domain owner which I couldn't get rid of but otherwise I don't think there's anything tragic.
