How to Resolve Google Crawling Issues for My eCommerce Website?
-
I want to resolve Google crawling issues for my eCommerce website. My website is as follow.
http://www.vistastores.com/ Google have crawled only 97 webpages from my website. My website is quite old. (~More than 6 months) But, Google have indexed only 97 webpages.
I have created one campaign over SEOmoz tool and found some errors over there. So, I just assumed that due to it Google did not crawled my website.
But, I have created one another campaign for my competitor website to know actual status and reason behind it.
I found that, my competitor website have more error compare to me but, Google have crawled maximum pages compare to me.
So, What is reason behind it? How can I improve my crawling rate and index maximum webpages to Google?

I aware about it. But, I have confusion with omitted results. Google shows me 509 URLs in visible portion and remaining one in omitted results.
I have checked similar result for my competitor with table lamps keyword.
site:simplytablelamps.com
Google shows 2470 pages for my competitor and omitted result is very less compare to my website.
I really don't know more about it but it may cut out my impression with products which are included in omitted result. This is my assumption. What you think about it? If you can give me more idea so it will help me more.

When I do a site:vistastores.com, I see about 2300 results indexed in Google, which indicates Google is both indexing and crawling your site. How many pages do you have?

Hi, Liam
I come back on this question after long time. Because, I am still surviving with crawling issue. Google is not crawling my website after implement all checklists.
Today, I read one blog post about to increase Google crawl rate.
Blog suggesting to set custom crawl rate with help of Google webmaster tools. So, Does it really matter to improve crawling?
What is important and helpful ... natural crawling by Google or embarrassing crawling by Google?

I am going forward with multiple XML sitemap after long R & D.
-
I am still waiting for additional answers in same direction. Can any one help me? I need answer on urgent basis.
-
Yes, your suggestion is right. I have added XML sitemap to Google webmaster tools. But, I am still confuse with crawling.
-
Not sure if you've already done this, but if not - signup to Google Webmaster Tools and submit your sitemap. You can also check crawl errors etc.
With e-commerce websites it's always useful to use an automated XML sitemap so that each product page is added and can then be crawled and indexed.
Let me know if this answers your question??

Will I have duplicate content on my own website?
Hello Moz community, We are an agency providing services to various industries, and among them the hair salon industry. On our website, we have our different service pages in the main menu, as usual. These service pages are general information and apply to any industry.We also have a page on the website that is only intended for the hair salon industry. On this page, we would like to link new service pages: they will be the same services as our “general” services, but specialized for hair salons. My questions relate to duplicate content: Do we have to make the new individual service pages for hair salons with completely different text, even though it’s the same service, in order to avoid having duplicate content? Can we just change a few words from the “general service” page to specifically target hair salons, and somehow avoid Google seeing it as duplicate content? Reminder that these pages will be internal links inside of the hair salon industry page. Thank you in advance for your answers, Gaël

Google finding my meta descriptions
I recently had my site redone (about a year ago). Since then google has not been using my meta descriptions much and more so using the descriptions within my site. Is there a reason for this? An example would be http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/vrp/unit/kolea-14/

Streaming Google Places Reviews
Google no longer lets users pull an iframe of places reviews. I can't find a plugin for wordpress that will do this either. Any suggestions on how to show Google places reviews on your website? Or... should we blow it off and just go with yelp / City Search reviews?
