Greetings, Many of our pages are going URL only... In todays world of Google - is this a good thing or bad thing? I have heard two sides: - From Google - These are partially indexed pages. - Others - These are pages that are getting set to be removed from the index. Any opinions? Our site also has the issue with overblown page counts. Our site has approximately 20,000 pages. However, Google reports 80,000 when using the site command. We have implemented the 301-redirect in the past two months for non-www to www. A couple of weeks ago, we also switched all links to absolute and added the trailing "/" to "Home" links. Could these changes be causing things to go url only? Thanks.
Check the page count on the API... You should see a fairly big difference... It's usually a good sign on dup content or a penalised domain... I'm in the same boat
Are all of your Titles or descriptions the same? Does each page start with the same block of text? Even if the site is dynamic you can usually get around this, but you first have to figure out what is being viewed as duplicate.
The page titles, descriptions, and keywords are all different... It is also strange that it has picked certain directories to do this in. Example: www.mydomain.com/articles31 Almost every file in that directory has only url. Do you think this could be a dup content issue? Thanks for the quick responses.
You may have to just post the url as its hard to talk in hypotheticals. For instance you say the titles and descrips are different but maybe each page has some content in the beggining of the code that is similar. Without seeing the urls its just guessing.
