I have a drupal website the website was in arabic then i used a module to get another english version of the website but google indexes only arabic webpages not indexing english pages i found in the page source in the english pages that i established the following codes above the docu type <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> also i can see over the head section <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="ar" xml:lang="ar"> while in meta tages language is in english can you please review the website & tell me what is wrong her is the english pages www.mts-vienna.com/en this is the arabic pages www.mts-vienna.com/ar
on your english web page you should change this --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="ar" xml:lang="ar"> to --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> your arab page looks fine. How long have you uploaded your english page? In your position I would read/google "How to SEO multilanguage pages" and "SEO web pages in Arabic" and "Arabic HTML language code" I want you to be sure about your seo technics in arabic. Good luck daliah.
Hello hito, thanks for your advice i uploaded my english pages 30 days ago and i think i have a problem with crawling till now 3 pages of then indexed with arabic metadiscription google didnot visit since 2 sept. h discverd that t website it sloe than 67% of websites and crawl became only 2 pages per day
You say that "i uploaded my english pages 30 days ago" My website got indexed 80% in 20 day. 90% on 45 days and got a 100% indexed on 60 days. But this is not a problem cause if you have a good sitemap.xml, your most important pages will be indexed first! "i have a problem with crawling till now 3 pages of then indexed with arabic metadiscription google didnot visit since 2 sept" Are these page important? Maybe these pages have poor inbound links. I believe that slow website will get crawled slower in the future. What is you average speed in seconds? Do you have on the webmasters tools any crawling errors? Do you have a sitemap.xml or/and sitemap.html?
"HTTP ‎(5)‎ In Sitemaps ‎(21)‎ Not found ‎(10)‎ Restricted by robots.txt ‎(45)‎ " have you tried to correct these errors. i believe that for 100% indexing you should have 0 errors in site map, 0 not found , and allow all your pages on robots.txt The errors is the main reason for your problems. (change the lang="ar" to "en" too) And might lead you to not index some of your pages. If you need help on your errors, post it. The speed is another problem, but not so important. Try installing firebug & pagespeed mozilla plug-in. Run it on your unidexed pages and post the screenshot.
Daliah, Hi! Thank you for your kind words. [duplicate content] is a problem = check your online web folder for older pages left inside (with the old filename). You web folder might have the same page but with different file name. CHECK your folder. It should contain ONLY the file names that you have on you sitemap. The sitemap shouldnot contain pages that dont exist on your web folder. Web folder should not contain dublicate content pages with different file name & that dont exist in sitemap. web folder <--mirror exactly--> sitemap.xml [robots will disallow more pages google didnot discover yet] = try to allow all, on your robots.txt (upload it to see how it looks like) [sitemap errors is all disallowed pages by robots.txt] = try to allow all, on your robots.txt, leave it like that for 2-4 weeks and check your crawling. i run on my browser these....

[it tries to setup as blocker] meaning that you cant install it? Have you installed first firebuhg / close mozilla / open mozilla / download page speed / close /open / NOW you are Ready! [EXTRA] reading your code I found a new change I would like you to make. Not as important as the above ... But keep it in mind that having the <title> before <meta> will your arabic page titles to become unread on a 20% of web directories and other indexing site. " <title>Vienna Airport Taxi Transfer to or from other cities | mts vienna</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> " Move the <meta> JUST AFTER the <head>. ps: "Helping others will lead you helping yourself in the future. Nothing is lost in the circle Karma of the universe."
--> http://www.mts-vienna.com/node/565 should contain arabic texts not english. Can you change this? This page was initially on arabic (before the language plugin)? Post this on a drupal forum, they might find a solution. "the only way to resolve this problem in drupal is disallow from robots" that is not a solution cause is leading you to not index. try to change http://www.mts-vienna.com/node/565 to arabic. change your robot.txt to test the results " User-agent: * Allow: / "
Oh I forgot.... on firebug press the + (cross) on the... 1) Serve Resources From a Consistent Url 2) Serve static content from a cookieless domain expand the above and read any help you can find on these 2. I Believe they will help you solve many serious problems. You can also google these phrases 1 & 2 adding the word "problem" to my google query.
