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.

Language redirction causing 302 issues
Hi, I am getting an error on Moz campaign for 302 errors. The reason we have this redirection is because we have the website available in different languages and the website redirects to the language according to the area you are in. e.g. www.keyhub.com/en or www.keyhub.com/es I am guessing it might be a common issue for all the websites with multiple languages. Any solutions for this or should we just ignore this error? Thanks, Priyam

Does this site have a duplicate content issue?
Google WMT is showing me only 2 short meta descriptions under "HTML Improvements" but I believe http://www.customgia.com may have a content duplication issue. Numerous keywords are used repeatedly across many product descriptions. To make matters worse, every product page has a "Design It!" button that sends the user to a flash-based jewelry designer in which they can edit the product's appearance. I'm not sure if these "designer pages" are adding unnecessary and potentially damaging duplicate content but it's certainly a possibility. There are many items on this site that are similar to one another but not the same. The product description tend to use the same phrases over and over again - words like crystal, Swarovski, beaded, design it, customize, change, pearl, glass beads, iridescent, pearl, drop earrings are used a lot. What I'm stuck on is whether or not I should be focusing on a content duplication issue as the primary SEO problem or if there is something bigger. Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

What is the best way to resolve duplicate content issue
Hi I have a client whose site content has been scraped and used in numerous other sites. This is detrimental to ranking. One term we wish to rank for is nowhere. My question is this: what's the quickest way to resolve a duplicate content issue when other sites have stolen your content? I understand that maybe I should firstly contact these site owners and 'appeal to their better nature'. This will take time and they may not even comply. I've also considered rewriting our content. Again this takes time. Has anybody experienced this issue before? If so how did you come to a solution? Thanks in advance.

How to properly remove pages and a category from Google's index
I want to remove this category http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/ and all the pages in that category (e.g. http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/7386.html ) from Google's index. I used the following string in the "Reomval URS" section in Google Webmaster Tools: http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/* is that correct or I better use http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/ ? Thanks in advance.

Is it ok to point internal links to index.html home page rather than full www
I thought I saw this somewhere on SEOmoz before but I was so busy by the time I got around to work on my SEO on my site, I realized I have this happening and can't recall if it is a problem which takes away from my ranking. If my www.website.com is ranking well but I have internal menu links pointing to www.website.com/index.html instead of www.website.com will that take away from my www.website.com rankings? Should I change all my menu links that point to /index.html to the full website url path www.website.com ?
