Hello, I designed this site in wordpress for a customer. They have 3 urls now that all point/redirect to one URL as of last week (www.vewinebeer.com). The other two are 2 vintage-estate.com and vintageestatewinebeer.com. Before all three sites were indexing the same exact site instead of redirecting to one URL It seems as if the site is hidden from google for some reason, but it is public in the settings for wordpress? Any tips as to why a basic search for "Vintage Estate Wine and Beer" will not bring up their site? I even tried searching in quotes for exact text on some of the sub-pages that I knew would be unique to their website, and it brings up no results. Thanks! http://www.vewinebeer.com
Do you mean that earlier you had 3 sites ranking for similar keyword (Vintage Estate Wine and Beer) and now you have redirect 2 sites to one sites (3rd site) and want to rank this main site. If I am right then you need to take 2 major action 1- Make sure your redirect is permanent i.e. 301 2-Build bank link to site to make it rank for your keyword. Ask another question if don't know how to build quality backlink or search this forum.
Vintage Estate Wine and Beer - the site comes one the first page for me. Are you trying to find a 'www' version? You have configured non-www version in wordpress.
Few mistakes in code matte. Do seperate files for javascript and css code. Remove all not necesary comments in code, you can keep it at local server. Remember that .PNG graphics with alpha filter are bad display with old IE and it not looking nice. About rest - not more important for seo fails.
No problems from my end (I live in Aus) and utilizing google.com I'd say it's more to do with google's data center(s) propagating their updates across the globe, depending where you live sometimes there can be quite a time lag between updates. In future you could use a vpn (like hotspot shield) or a proxy with an American ip address, this way you get to see the updated results without the propagation lag. Judging from the results You shouldn't encounter any submission issues with google. ROOFIS
Thanks so much for all the replies everyone! I posted this on 4 different forums and this was by far the most helpful Turns out literally an hour after I posted this thread, google must have index the site. It was not showing up when I posted this! Weird timing. Question though: Is there any advantage to setting the url in wordpress to http://www.vewinebeer.com instead of http://vewinebeer.com
Hi Friend, Your Site have some problem, like dynamic URL issue please solve that problem with your developer help, the problem which is not SEO friendly.

Having your index canonicalized doe's optimize seo and serp's rankings as any links to the 'www' are redirected on a 301 to the non 'www' preserving their link juice integrity. It may have been or believed to be an issue many years ago but google's technology compensates for this so it's more an etiquette thing to do now. Also redirecting the documents native format to the index ie site/index.html or site/index.php to site.com also redirects the link juice from your partner sites if they had something like a site/index.html as the referring link, (surprisingly some old review sites out there did this quite often and a lot have generous pr on their pages.) I checked this on the vewinebeer site and noticed you've done this too. ) So in a nut shell you've completely canonized your index for maximum SEO As far as the other dynamic urls site: vewinebeer.com if your having problems with wordpress's cms url features you could utilise your .htaccess with apache rewrite instead to restructure if it's an issue in either user presentation or seo. I've ran many sites (vid sites mainly) over the years with raw dynamic urls and still ranked well in the serp's, so it's not a critical seo issue as far as I believe as the se's look more towards the content and linking pages to weigh their rankings.
