| Image display in universal search
May 22, 2009 at 6:51 pm
|
| I notice that the news results can allow a story/article to have an image/photo display to the left hand side of the article.
For example: type Paris Hilton into a universal search.
How can I get an image to appear next to my search results?
Does it have to be news?
Which feature do I use?

| Removing page that isn't mine?
May 22, 2009 at 5:39 pm
|
| The name of a friend of mine is appearing in search results that includes adult content and appears to be spamming Google's search results. I have contacted the webmaster for the site but have been unsuccessful in having it modified. I used the webpage removal request tool to report the page as using my friend's name on an adult website that is spamming Google. When I did so, it didn't appear in my removal request list but gave me a message that said I would be emailed about it. I received an automated email confirming that Google had received my request, and also saying that I would be getting another email "shortly." I have not heard back at all, and the page still appears in Google's search results.
Is it acceptable for me to be doing this on my friend's behalf, or should I have her create an account and do it herself?
Why haven't I heard back about the page? Even if my request has been denied, I would like to know that and the reason why.
Is there something else I can do to have the page removed?
Secondly, I also asked for another page to be removed because it no longer contains her name. In the removal request tool, this page is listed as "Removed" but it still appears in Google search results, but no longer with a short description below the page title/link. I am under the impression that this page will be gone from Google's search results the next time Google crawls the page. Is this true? I've also noticed (using the view options on the search results) that the page hasn't been crawled in over a year. Will it be crawled again soon?

| Canonicalization which option over rides the other?
May 22, 2009 at 5:26 pm

| Canonicalization which option over rides the other? Site map, canonicalization in the head of the page, or Google webmaster tools preference?
Example you have:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.ca/index.html"/> in the head, http://example.com/index.html in the sitemap, and www. speicified in Google webmaster tools which of those options over rides the settings if any?
As you can see by the example above Google needs to make a decision as to which of the 3 options to pick.
I've noticed that a site of mine has "2 sites by this GAnalytics ID" meaning there's possibly some over error. How does one check that with out. I'm not about to pay for SpyAd for my own site.
If you put www.example.com/ ,and www.example.com/index.html in the site map you get dinged for redundant information in Google Webmaster tools so I've of course removed one ... this could be theoretically be perceived as a bug.

| xml not read by googlebot?
May 22, 2009 at 5:25 pm
|
| Here is the question:
I believe Google is not indexing MOST pages because it can not see my xml query that shows on my html pages. Is there a place where I may read about how to form my xml so the search bots can see the results?
My site has only 165 out of 722 pages indexed.
The keywords the site ranks #1 for are NOT keywords I'm interested in, they are not in my title or heading tags, just repeated words in an advertisement on the right side of the page.
The keywords I AM interested in ranking for are "work at home." That's it. And the site does not rank at all for those words. Virtually all pages have the phrase "work at home" in the title tag and the heading tags. The site is about nothing but work at home in some form or fashion. The site definitely looks and feels better and also provides more information than any of the sites that rank on google's first organic search page.
The site has been out there since December 2007.
The site is located at www.womansgarden.com.

| 4% of 20 million URLs indexed
May 22, 2009 at 4:45 pm
|
| At Redfin http://www.redfin.com/ we've got 20 million URLs in our sitemap index http://www.redfin.com/sitemap_index.xml, but according to Google Webmaster Central, only 800K Redfin URLs are indexed; just 4%.
In detail, we have three kinds of sitemaps in our index:
• active real estate listings for sale [~500K URLs, priority=0.8]
• region pages (~75K URLs, priority=0.9)
• off-market homes [the other 19M URLs, priority = 0.02], for which we display county property data.
We're aware that there's no guarantee that Google will index our entire sitemap. However, we'd really like to have all 500K of our active listings indexed; today only 250K of those listings are indexed according to GWC.
We would particularly like active listings to be indexed in preference to off-market properties -- listings are much more interesting to users, and they're the small minority. However, despite setting the priority for listings much higher in our sitemap, we still see Google indexing many properties, but not all listings.
Normally the advise here is to just wait, but we've been waiting for more than a year; it's not getting any better.
Is there something we can do on our end that would fix this, or just increase the number of indexed URLs overall?
Specifically:
• Is Google ignoring our sitemap priorities for some reason? (GWC warns us that our sub-sitemaps all have the same priority, but according to JohnMu we "shouldn't worry about it" http://tinyurl.com/opcjqe )
• We always strive to build a popular site that people want to talk about. Will more inbound links increase the number of URLs Google will index? Does it matter if the links are pointing to our homepage, vs. pointing to the individual URLs?
• Is 800K URLs indexed (4%) simply the natural limit for a site with 20M URLs?
• What about our internal links / site structure? Is there something more we can do there to make Google realize the importance of listings over properties?

| Hello,
I'm just curious if I should be pointing my clients at shared hosting with or with out a dedicated IP. I keep seeing that Google spam filtering is also based on IP not just domain so if my host has 1400 other sites then should i be giving my clients a dedicated IP for their hosting? Are people being punished for other domains on the same IP/Server that they're not even aware of? Should I be looking for dedicated IP for all my clients? I was under the impression that filtering was exclusively done by domain.

May 22, 2009 at 3:16 pm

| I have a few questions on the Help Forum message board. In a nutshell, I just want to know how to get my page listed with my links to my page (I have several pages off the main page, like Audio, Games, etc.) when I do a Google Search. It shows something I do not want, and that has changed (the change is not shown) ... the Contact Us page is showing and I do not want it to. I encoded HTML on the page (Contact Us) for it not to be crawled and indexed, but it still shows when I type in GoldStar Affiliate. I just want the Main page to show (the index page) for GoldStar Affiliate, the "Similar Pages" (the pages I have on my site, linked to the index page), and the keywords and descriptions I have recently added. Do I really need Sitemaps, or will the search engine crawl and index all the pages and put them to "Similar Pages"? I have resubmitted my site. I hope this will not cause problems. How long does Google take to show my web site the way I have updated it? I would like to start advertising my site, but the Contact Us page shows something that is not accurate and has been changed and I do not want it to show that anymore, it is imperative to my business.

May 22, 2009 at 2:49 pm

| I am looking for some advice to help me try to understand why my website has recently (21st May) suffered a drop in Google SERPS. The site has been number 1 and 2 for various search terms such as "sat nav hire" and "sat nav rental" for at least the past year and whilst the site was re-designed about 10 months ago there have been no major changes since.
The site is around 3 years old, it's still listed in Google, has the same page rank, same back links and there's no messages from Google in my webmasters account but the site is now 5 or 6 pages into the SERPS and I don't even have a first page show when searching for "cheapsatnavhire" (although it shows when searching for cheapsatnavhire.co.uk).
Can anyone please offer some advice on why the site has just dropped to such a low position, it feels like a penalty has been applied but who knows?

| Site Indexing Problems
May 22, 2009 at 12:46 pm

| Hello:
If i typed in the google search bar: domainname.com - the forwarded to site name would show up.- though when you type that domain key word in Google my site wasnt showing up at all on most of my entire site.
Examples of my 301 redirects:
WMT is also showing that Googlebot has successfully accessed your home page in many of my accounts 301 redirects. Examples:
I had 140 blogs (blogger) all setup with city name + real estate and I was not linking them together nor was I linked to any other sites - link farm, scheme. And I was not showing up in search along with the 301 redirected domains to my sites - those keywords were nowhere to be found in index. Also all the 140 blog post titles I left out the webiste city name + real estate due to I read that it would dilute the other keywords. So instead of title "show low real estate brokers" - the blog post title was: "brokers"
Exampes of my sites not showing up at all:
suncitywestarizonarealesate.com
Though I must ad some sites of my had no problems in the index:
Only recently did I add an about me + advertise on my site page on each - and was showing up on copyscape as duplicate content.
On one of the Google blogs I did leave a reply to Susan M and gave the link that copied and took over my blog.
I think seo/real estate site company has taken over all my sites - they are all real estate and thats the guys business.
Recent changes this week - with the my (hijacked) site taken over by an SEO company and the duplicate content I quickly just 301 redirected all the 140 real estate blogs to just one. I added to all the blog posts the city/ state name due to otherwise I would have 140 blog posts titled "broker" on the new site.
In my account I now have 3 blogs: a local new site, my city/real estate site, and my personal business site. All are located on one google account.
I also have all my domains verified in my WMT.
I appreciate any and all help.

I mean were it says that the header has to say Http: sitemap etc etc does that mean you really add the word sitemap or the url to your blog/ site? And the 09 at the end that you should have, i have nothing like that in my header.
Also if i change the header text, do i only change it in one place or more, because my header has a few bits under the xhtml area?
Also ifthats not the problem and it is a MS word problem i really dont like the idea of re doing everything in google docs or windows live write. And i think its time google and MS start being compatible with each other. ( just saying my option)

| Removal from Index without webmaster tools
May 22, 2009 at 12:28 pm

| Kind of an odd scenario, but here it goes...
I have old domain, say domain1.com, and a new domain, domain2.com. Domain1.com is set up as a domain alias which 301 redirects to domain2.com. A few weeks ago, the 301 redirect dropped due to server configuration changes...so now, domain1.com and domain2.com are both indexed: same pages, content, etc. I have reinstated the 301 redirect.
The problem is that I cannot use webmaster tools to remove these pages from the index, as there is no actual "web space" to access. So therefore, I cannot upload verification or add a robots.txt.
I am very worried since our pagerank recently dropped to 0...and I'm rather certain that this played in to it.
Is there any other method available to get the site removed from the index?

| Google indexing less and less content from our search engine
May 22, 2009 at 12:26 pm

| Hello,
We run a biomedical search engine at novoseek.com that has hundred of thousands of pages generated dynamically. We have put a sitemap so google could start indexing and it has been going well. However we have noticed that Google sent us the following message:
"Googlebot encountered extremely large numbers of links on your site. This may indicate a problem with your site's URL structure. Googlebot may unnecessarily be crawling a large number of distinct URLs that point to identical or similar content, (...)"
After verification we set up a new robots.txt to avoid distinct URL's to point to a same URL. So now Google is indexing less and less content (we were at 114.000 links and now it's 97.000).
Do we have to worry about that or it is just that Google is re-estimating our website?
Thanks for answers and opinons,
Valentin

| Reported Attack Site
May 22, 2009 at 12:15 pm

| One of my sites - http://www.davidwoodfall.co.uk gives an attack site warning, but the warning is not for my domain:
This web site at blackporn1.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Why does it list blackporn1? I'v added the site to webmaster tools but is there any way of getting this solved quickly? Also it says 'reported', does that mean that someone actually reported the site as being unsafe, or does google do this automatically?
