This article aims to help you get ALL your pages (everyone of them!) indexed by Google and all the other search engines as well. This can be a very frustrating and difficult task requiring the following steps:

=> Find out how many pages are indexed – accurately!!!!

=> List all the individual pages that are NOT indexed

=> Discover why an individual page has not been indexed

=> Discover you can do to get a page NOT indexed, to be indexed

How to find out how many pages have been indexed and get a list of ones NOT indexed?

This task many seem very simple – but it is NOT. In my experience:

=> none of the that various SEO tools and software designed to do this are accurate. Trust me! I have tried just about all of them and in my experience they simply do not work, and others have reported similar findings

=> the site:www.mysite.com (entered into the Google search box with ‘mysite’ replaced by your domain name) and its various variations and options are neither reliable, accurate or up to date.

=> the inurl:mysite.com and its various versions, options and variations are similarly not accurate

=> the information you can see on Google Webmaster Central about your site and the data about your sitemap that has information about the number of pages indexed, is not accurate nor up to date.

None of these tools works! OK Well what can we do about it?

Sorry, the only reliable way that I know is to check every individual page.

This can be done using one of the following tools

=> Use the site:www.mysite.com test for each individual page e.g. site:www.mysite.com/mypage.html

=> Use the cache:www.mysite.com test for each individual page e.g. cache:www.mysite.com/mypage.html

=> Conduct a Google search for the page e.g. search for “mysite.com mypage”

OK, this works but it is a slow and tedious task for my sites which have over 2000 individual pages, each of which is vital for the business plan.

Fortunately there is one tool that does this – there are others I am sure.

This tool is also slow as you have to confine the search to about 40 pages at a time, and only do about three blocks of 40 pages each day, otherwise it get blocked. BUT IT DOES WORK if you are determined and patient. It works because it does a ‘site:’ and ‘cache:’ test for each page on the list.

You can copy the list of not-indexed pages from each test into a file and eventually produce a complete list and count them.

Voila! You now know how many of your pages have been indexed and importantly you have a list of pages that have NOT been indexed!

How to get a page NOT indexed to be indexed This can be a very frustrating process!

OK you have followed the steps above and found pages that have NOT been indexed, and you now want to Get them indexed.

How do you do it?

Firstly you need to find out WHY your page has NOT been indexed. Once again this can be extremely hard and frustrating as Google does not tell you why, and the subject is very confuse with nothing much to go on. Here are some suggestions:

=> It could be a timing problem. With a relatively large site with over 1000 pages, it may take one or more weeks, perhaps longer with a low PR site to get a new individual page indexed.

=> If you tend to be paranoid you can worry that your site has been penalised in some way, or perhaps that Google sets limits on the number of pages on a website that it indexes, perhaps related to PR.

=> Maybe Google will never index more than 80-90% of the pages on a website?

Once you have got beyond this paranoia phase and you still want to try to get your pages indexed there are several things you can try, based on the assumption that there is something wrong with the page that prevents it being indexed. The other assumptions is that you must be on the right track if the majority of your other pages have been indexed

From experience the reasons why an individual page has not been indexed, and the possible fixes for the problems are the following:

=> The title and description tag information are too similar to another page on your site THE FIX change the title and description so that they are unique and different

=> The page contains duplicate text. THE FIX is to use the pro version of Copyscape (or another similar tool) to test for duplicate text (use both the URL test and the TEXT test). Change the text and re-test until the copyscape tests are clear. There are a number of tools to help you with this including my own tool Gorewrite.com

=> There is not enough text on the page. In my experience you need at least 200 words of unique text. THE FIX is to add more unique text.

=> There are not enough backlinks to that individual page – Sorry this is what Google wants – deep links to that specific page both internal on the website itself, BUT importantly EXTERNAL links. THE FIX – Now this is a real problem with over 2000 page to consider!!! – how do you get these links? In my experience the quickest to get some links before you get ‘natural links’ is to add links from one of your other related websites, particularly one that is hosted on a different server or by a different hosting company. Google will eventually (it may take several weeks) pick these up and list them as backlinks on Webmaster Central. They may have low value, but if you get several for each page it does seem to work.

=> There is a host of other issues with your pages such as errors, tags etc. etc. THE FIX is to apply all the various SEO advice available on various websites and article to optimise you page design its contents. If the majority of similar pages on your website have been indexed then it is unlikely to be related to general SEO issues, but it is worth checking the obvious ones such as the Title and Description TAGS, HTML errors etc for the sites that have been rejected.

Sorry there is no quick fix to getting ALL your pages Indexed until some very smart person invents a tool that will tell you why a particular page has not been indexed (it would be nice if Google Webmaster Central did this, but its error checking tools are very limited). Note: It is still worth checking for errors in Google Webmaster Central, but they are very incomplete.

There are a number of software applications which will automatically replace words or phrases in articles with the employ of user defined synonyms and phrases. Article spinning is a search engine optimization technique that assists blog or website owners attempt to control the best they can their rank on Google and other search engines.

As an example of this process, the word “picture” could be replaced by the word “image” or “photo”. The process automatic rewriting can change the meaning of a sentence through the work of words with similar but subtley distinguishable meaning to the original with the apply of thesaurus databases.

Authors and publishers alike are able to target their audience with informative content, sent to an already-interested group of readers and markets. The free distribution of articles has led to a very large amount of duplicated content appearing on websites across the Internet. Google however weight this and eliminates those who do not score well against its algorithms.

This trend has been matched by a wide selection of article marketing directory websites which accept, vet, and provide redistribution of such articles to online publishers. With the sudden surges in the popularity of article marketing an overall reduction in quality in many subjects has occurred, mainly due to writers and publishers writing low-quality articles as a fast way of achieving exposure.

One method of SEO includes the idea that a website’s ranking in search engines will move up as it obtains quite a few sometimes hundreds or thousands numerous backlinks. Article marketing is likely the most powerful way to achieve this ranking. Well-found subjects and markets have gained in popularity through viral propagation of articles through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn web 2.0 type of sites.

Writing and distributing articles that include a link to a business owner’s website within the author box should result in numerous links back to that website in turn creating the possibility of more traffic to the site. Search engine optimization deals in part with the order in which webpages are ranked by Googles algorithms when keywords or phrases are typed into search engines by searchers.

If in fact the articles are distributed via RSS, this exponentially increases exposure and backlinks. The big challenge today is doing more than one and numerous with less time involved doing it. The website where an authors and publishers can post and pull an article is known as an article directory. These directories contain millions of pages of content covering thousands of subjects.

To prevent article or copyright infringement from happening some website publishers are using services like copyscape to stop their content from being taken and used without their explicit consent. Article directory sites gradually increase in search engine popularity as articles are posted, this benefits both the authors and the directory owner with opulent numerous visitors and therefore higher article page views.

Pretty much all businesses that do business online look to boost their page rank. Trying to Increase your page rank is by no means easy but it is not unattainable. If your search engine optimization strategy is set out properly it follows that you can without difficulty boost you PR. But where do you begin?

Firstly you need to begin with your website makeup. There are lots of online businesses which have not implemented an successful search engine optimization marketing plan for the reason that they have a poor website structure. So your website structure needs to have an easy navigation so visitors can browse with ease. Also make sure your website has a sitemap. Generally search engine spiders will Search in support of a sitemap, if they discover a sitemap this will assist them to index your website, which will boost your page rank.

Another aspect to think about is duplicate content. Search engines have strict duplicate content rules which will lead to the site becoming banned. Duplicate content on lots of pages is beyond doubt not a good tactic to boost PR. In its place, concentrate on providing fresh up to date content right through the website which is keyword rich. One more sort of duplicate content is where your home page does not take a potential customer to your focal home page. If this is the sequence on your site you must fix it so as to not hamper your page rank at all.

Increasing your page rank can be a gradual and steady process with lots of search engine optimization elements involved to make it work.
