Hi everyone, I friend told me recently that www. removal was a way of increasing the keyword density of the URL 3 or 4 characters. He said he had done this to a website and had great results. But what I found was this: The website took x4 to index. The site description was missing from the google listing. Imagine, the url in the SERP results but no page description. Has anyone ever seen this before? Not ranking for anything other then the keyword in the domain. These might be three separate issues. But these are the symptoms I have on a site. I will keep Social Bookmarking this site to get it crawled faster and pump on some content. The site url for your inspection is: Healing Hemorrhoids which is a trial site for a concept I'm working on. Any feedback you can give me would be greatly received. I have never seen this behavior, could it be over SEO? or Sandboxing?
Is it possible that your meta is the reason your site is not being indexed? What I see is this. <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> You also have the same meta again which allows index, but by default, G will use the most restrictive.
siteExpress correct, you have to work on <head> </head> section. you have <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> and <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
But where is it coming from? I have checked the plugins and the template. No Ideas? Im downloading the whole site and will go over every script until I find it. Im using the plainscape theme for the first time. Perhaps this is the issue. Ill keep you posted.
Well I found it. WordPress setting: I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors. This was selected as a default. What the !£@£$$%£%@$$£@%$£%$@£%$£@%$£@^£&^%*$&**O% if you know what I mean. Fantastico install and then upgrade to: WordPress 2.8.5 This has never happened to me before. Keep yours eyes out on your headers people. 5 days behind schedual and will now have to tickle google to crawl again. Thank you so much SiteExpress and also thanapa. You got to the root. God bless.
