Sitemap indexation
-
3 days ago I sent in a new sitemap for a new platform. Its 23.412 pages but until now its only 4 pages (!!) that are indexed according to the Webmaster Tools. Why so few? Our stage-enviroment got indexed (more than 50K pages) in a few days by a mistake.

Thanks! I'll see if this changes anything.

Its not that complicated, it is really easy...
In Google Webmaster tools go to the Crawl/Fetch as Google. The top level will be displayed at the top of the page. Press the Fetch Button to the right.
Goolge will fetch the page and this will be displayed underneath on the same page. To the right of this line, you will see a button to submit to index. When you press this a pop up box will appear and you can select to either submit just this page or this page and all links from it. Select the all links from it. (you can only do this full crawl/submit option 10 times in a calendar month, to submit just single pages you can do this 500 times a month) and then press Submit.
Google will then submit all the pages to its index.
Hope that helps.

In regard of the error, Google crawled our https://stage.musik.dk instead of just https://musik.dk. We now have authorization on the subdomain, which gives errors in our account. I made another post about this and it seems it shouldn't harm our ranking.
Webmaster Tools is an extremely messy tool when working with various subdomains + no-http

Yeah. I've tested it several times, but with no errors. today its up on 35 indexed pages, but a loong way to go...

What do you mean by manual submit the site? Its more than 23.000 links, so a manual process is kinda of a no go

Hi,
Are you sure you submitted the right site map format / files? We've had in in the past that are sitemap was broken up into multiple files and we had to send sitemap-index.xml, sitemap-1.xml ... sitemap-16.xml. Have you checked it again and again?
regards
Jarno

No Sure what the problem was with the "by mistake"
Go to Google Webmaster tools and "manually" submit the site for the home page and all links. This will at least get the ball rolling whilst you investigate the other possible problems once you revist the sitemap etc just to check that it is complete and has not missed off a bunch of pages

Desktop & Mobile XML Sitemap Submitted But Only Desktop Sitemap Indexed On Google Search Console
Hi! The Problem We have submitted to GSC a sitemap index. Within that index there are 4 XML Sitemaps. Including one for the desktop site and one for the mobile site. The desktop sitemap has 3300 URLs, of which Google has indexed (according to GSC) 3,000 (approx). The mobile sitemap has 1,000 URLs of which Google has indexed 74 of them. The pages are crawlable, the site structure is logical. And performing a Landing Page URL search (showing only Google/Organic source/medium) on Google Analytics I can see that hundreds of those mobile URLs are being landed on. A search on mobile for a longtail keyword from a (randomly selected) page shows a result in the SERPs for the mobile page that judging by GSC has not been indexed. Could this be because we have recently added rel=alternate tags on our desktop pages (and of course corresponding canonical ones on mobile). Would Google then 'not index' rel=alternate page versions? Thanks for any input on this one. PmHmG

Sitemap For Static Content And Blog
We'll be uploading a sitemap to google search console for a new site. We have ~70-80 static pages that don't really chance much (some may change as we modify a couple pages over the course of the year). But we have a separate blog on the site which we will be adding content to frequently. How can I set up the sitemap to make sure that "future" blog posts will get picked up and indexed. I used a sitemap generator and it picked up the first blog post that's on the site, but am wondering what happens with future ones? I don't want to resubmit a new sitemap each time that has a link to a new blog post we posted.

Sitemap
Hi, I am setting up a new sitemap for our website. the website contains about 8000 - 10.000 pages. Of wich are 6000 productpages. I have 10 categories, about 80 sub-catagories and about 400 sub-sub categories ( these ar my most important landingpages) At this moment our sitemap is only 1 MB. From that point of view 1 sitemap will be enough. But can i take SEO advantage by splitting this sitemap in 10 categories? Or are there other ways to set it up for a better SEO? Thanks!

My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.

Yahoo Local SERPs Index Issue
I recently updated all my website page Titles and was checking to see how many have been crawled so far. On Yahoo/Bing I noticed something very strange when entering site:bandpages.ie in the search field. Selection Buttons (top of SERPs): 'Web' search shows all my pages indexed 'UK' has has most pages 'Only In Ireland' has just 1 page indexed - which is the site RSS Feed and nothing else! The site has been live for 2 years now. Considering we don't trade with the UK and our main focus is here in Ireland - what is going wrong? Why doesn't Yahoo/Bing index list the site pages in the Ireland index? Any insights or solutions appreciated...

Google sitemap just for a part of site?
Hi, I am about reorganize (content and seo-wise) a part of a larger site and I wondered if it is possible to use a Google sitemap just for some but not all pages of a site? Does anyone know if this has any impact on pages that are not included in the sitemap? Thanks

Dealing with indexable Ajax
Hello there, My site is basically an Ajax application. We assume lots of people link into deep pages on the site, but bots won't be able to read past the hashmarks, meaning all links appear to go to our home page. So, we have decided to form our Ajax for indexing. And so many questions remain. First, only Google handles indexable Ajax, so we need to keep our static "SEO" pages up for Bing and Yahoo. Bummer, dude, more to manage. 1. How do others deal with the differences here? 2. If we have indexable Ajax and static pages, can these be perceived as duplicate content? Maybe the answer is to disallow google bot from indexing the static pages we made. 3. What does your canonical URL become? Can you tell different search engines to read different canonical URLs? So many more questions, but I'll stop there. Curious if anyone here has thoughts (or experience) on the matter. Erin
