Site not indexing correctly
-
I am trying to figure out what is going on with my site listings. Google is only displaying my title and url - no description. You can see it when you search for Franchises for Sale. The site is www.franchisesolutions.com.
Why could this happen? Also I saw a big drop off in a handful of keyword rankings today. Could this be related?
-
OK it looks like your site uis coldfusion, yet your headers suggest it is asp.net
Here is a see a cold fusion page
http://www.franchisesolutions.com...If you look at the cacheed page in google it looks like some sort of trace page used fopr dubuging, it may be that goolge cloweled your site while you were debuging
-
this is even more wired then it seems, as your site is not built with cold fusion it is asp.net running on iis according to your headers
do you have a listing in domoz, as google sometimes uses dmoz info for your snippit.
but then it would be unlikly to have a timespamp of 10 mar 2012
was your site once madein coldfussion? does it have any cfm pages?
-
Do you have any advice as to what I can do about it? It seems to "fix" itself and then default back to what you are seeing (on and off). thanks!!!

Something is odd here. When I search for franchises for sale, I'm seeing this as the snippet in the SERP:
ColdFusion Server Standard, 9,0,0,251028. Template, /index.cfm. Time Stamp, 10-Mar-12 10:59 PM. Locale, English (US). User Agent, Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ...
Maybe there's some issue with crawling?
-
No they are not new. I am seeing very wacky things with the listing in the last few days. Today it is back to normal.
-
Yes, are the pages new?
if could be a indexing probllem if you have changed soming like added a no-index tag or somthing recently
-
So you don't think it is a problem related to keyword ranking drops?
Do you think this is temporary?
-
All comming up fine for me.
Some times they do that for different reasons, but come good

Site redesign makes Moz Site Crawl go haywire
I work for an agency. Recently, one of our clients decided to do a complete site redesign without giving us notice. Shortly after this happened, Moz Site Crawl reported a massive spike of issues, including but not limited to 4xx errors. However, in the weeks that followed, it seemed these 4xx errors would disappear and then a large number of new ones would appear afterward, which makes me think they're phantom errors (and looking at the referring URLs, I suspect as much because I can't find the offending URLs). Is there any reason why this would happen? Like, something wrong with the sitemap or robots.txt?

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Website is not indexing
Hi All, My website URL is https://thepeopeople.com and it is neither caching nor indexing in Google. Earlier the URL was https://peopeople.com. I have redirected it to https://thepeopeople.com by using 301 redirections. I have checked the redirection and everything else is fine and I have submitted all the URLs in search console also, still the website is not indexing. Its been more than 5 months now. Please suggest a solution for this. Thanks in Advance.

Removed Subdomain Sites Still in Google Index
Hey guys, I've got kind of a strange situation going on and I can't seem to find it addressed anywhere. I have a site that at one point had several development sites set up at subdomains. Those sites have since launched on their own domains, but the subdomain sites are still showing up in the Google index. However, if you look at the cached version of pages on these non-existent subdomains, it lists the NEW url, not the dev one in the little blurb that says "This is Google's cached version of www.correcturl.com." Clearly Google recognizes that the content resides at the new location, so how come the old pages are still in the index? Attempting to visit one of them gives a "Server Not Found" error, so they are definitely gone. This is happening to a couple of sites, one that was launched over a year ago so it doesn't appear to be a "wait and see" solution. Any suggestions would be a huge help. Thanks!!

Mobile site content and main site content
Help, pls! I have one main site and a mobile version of that site (m.domain.com). The main site has more pages, more content, different named urls. The main site has consistently done well in Google. The mobile site has not: the mobile site is buried. I am working on adding more content to the mobile site, but am concerned about duplicate content. Could someone pls tell me the best way to deal with these two versions of our site? I can't use rel=canonical because the urls do not correspond to the same names on the main site, or can I? Does this mean I need to change the url names, offer different content (abridged), etc? I really am at a loss as to how to interpret Google's rules for this. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Any help or tips would GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Thanks!
