Indexing Issues
-
One of the main pages on my site, http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos, I have been having a hard time getting google to index it correctly or at all. It is one of the top pages on my site and should be in my sub links in google, but it is not even showing up in searches. Any input would be appreciated.
The only red flap issue is the number of outgoing links, but that is the way the page is supposed to be. I would assume most real estate listing pages are very similar.
Ultimately when you look at traffic, time on page, inbound links, etc. it is one of the top pages on my site in all those categories.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rob,
Gaston and Andrew have already answered this question with supporting resources. But there is I good guide I came across for website Indexing. If you are still looking for solution, you may find this useful.
You can check it here - The White Hat Guide for Website Indexing
If you have already found the solution, do enlighten us with issue (and what was causing the issue).
Good Luck,

Hi Rob,
I agree with Gaston that a (technical) site audit would be one of the first things to do. In addition to Gaston's reply I can say that for example www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/ (and every other piece of content) is available through 8 different URL's:
http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
http://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
http://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
https://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
https://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condosFortunately you're using a canonical tag pointing out https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/ as the main URL, however, not all of the content on the page/website is in HTTPS.
Besides that there are a certainly things to improve on a page structure and structured data level too. And on a very basic level, also take a look for example at the number of H1's, ALT texts for images and so on.
Good luck

Hi RobDanton,
Making a quick analysis I've found some critical issues:
- non-www and www redirect.
- bad/ non existent sitemap.
- many 404 errors.
- bad implementation of https (some pages have it some dont).
Make a technical audit, this Moz's blogpost might help: Technical Site Audit Checklist: 2015 Edition
Best luck.
GR.

Disallow indexing of ALL subdomains
I'm using www.domain.com as my development hosting. Each website that i'm developing get's a temporary URL like this: project1.domain.com
On-Page Optimization | | conversal
project2.domain.com
project3.domain.com
... Now i'd like to set that ALL these subdomains can not be indexed in Google. Now I manually have to do this for each subdomain's site, and when I go online I have to change the robots.txt again. So I would like to make things a bit easier for me. Is this possible?0 -
Google Indexed = 35, 445 pages, Bing Indexed = 243 pages... Why?
Dear MozSquad, Can anyone check our site and let me know if there's anything super apparent that would cause Bing to treat us like a bum on the street? I recently made some structural changes which really helped with Google, but Bing didn't even budge. It's a lot harder to keep up with all the SEO initiatives I have in mind with it being a small start-up where I'm responsible for planning the entire Internet Marketing campaign, giving constant input on UX and site design, etc on top of 900 other things, so I figured it'd be a good time to use The Moz to help a brother out. Ideas? Domain: homeandgardendesignideas.com (yeah, I know it's a little long =P)

Hi, I have about 600 posts and most of them are not really optimized (some of them are flash photo gallery). Should I do no index them? They are just too many to optimize them. My website is http://www.soobumimphotography.com/ Thank you

Why are some of page indexed and others not
I have created a site structure like this: domain/for-sale/brand domain/for-sale/brand-model domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1 domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2 domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg3 etc.... I cannot understand why the domain/for-sale/brand-model does not seem to be indexed, yet the domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg6 is? This is a new site, but I cannot understand why this URL would be indexed without the others... Any ideas? My home pages has links to the domain/for-sale/brand, this page has links to domain/for-sale/brand-model1, domain/for-sale/brand-model2 etc, each of these pages have links to domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1, domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2 etc...

Issue: Duplicate Page Title
When you are in Error status for Duplicate Page Titles - but it is because of the root domain: Example.com and Example.com/index How to you go about changing the title of the same page without looking un-natural. My client has built his site with the - index file pulling to the root - but the crawlers are seeing TWO separate pages - when in reality they are the same. Riddle me this batman?
