Why Isnt My New Article Indexed?
-
I posted this article last night:
http://www.londontri.com/325/tomtom-runner-gps-watch-review
It didn't appear in Google's index this morning despite me pointing a few high quality links to it (not keyword optimized links, just links from high quality forum posts)
On closer examination I thought that the problem could be due to a keyword stuffing penalty so I have made sure that I am not repeating too many words/word combinations using a keyword density checker but the article is still not indexed.
Any ideas what could be going on?

I am guessing it is because of how you are implementing your breadcrumbs.
Google is using your breadcrumbs to make a rich snippet.

Hmm any ideas why the Reviews category tag is getting the Google spot and not the actual URL?
I have the Yoast SEO plugin installed on the blog and I though I set the categories to no-index!
Thanks for all of your help by the way!

Hi Ross,
I am seeing it when I do that same search.
The SERP uses Domain.com > Reviews vs the actual URL, but when I click on it, I am brought to the URL that you were looking for.

One way to get your new webpage page indexed really quickly is to write a post on your Google+ page with a link to the new page on your website.

Hmm sorry I didn't explain very well. When I type "www.londontri.com TomTom runner" only the main page of my site appears in the rankings. so I guess I have been hit with a penalty?

When I do a search for your URL, I am seeing that it was added to Google 17 hours ago.

Fixing Index Errors in the new Google Search Console - Help
Hi, So I have started using the new Search Console and for one of my clients, there are a few 'Index Coverage Errors'. In the old version you could simply, analyse, test and then mark any URLs as fixed - does anyone know if that is possible in the new version? There are options to validate errors but no 'mark as fixed' options. Do you need to validate the errors before you can fix them?

Using Canonical & INDEX, FOLLOW meta tag
I am sort of new to this, and working with an overseas development team on an eCommerce site. I am curious if the Canonical tag will supersede the tag, or if it is best to remove this tag entirely for duplicate product pages?

How many times should a word appear in an article?
Hi My site is maily about growing fruit and vegetables and was badly hit after the September Panda update. Each page is about one type of fruit or vegetable and discusses how to grow that particular plant. Each page targets two keyword phrases, "growing abc" and "how to grow abc" so e.g. "Growing garlic: a guide on how to grow garlic" would be the page title and then the two phrases used a couple of times on each page. However the plant, in the above example "garlic" can appear upto 30 or 40 times per page, also the phrases "how to grow" and "growing" will appear on just about every page, would these facts be hurting my overall site rankings? Many Thanks Simon
