          Hey there MOZ Geniuses;

          While checking my webmaster data I noticed that almost all my Google impressions are generated by the home page, most other content pages are showing virtually no impression data <50 (the home page is showing around 1500 - a couple of the pages are in the 150-200 range).  the site has been up for about 8 months now.  Traffic on average is about 500 visitors, but I'm seeing very little entry other then the home page.

          • Checking the number Sitemap section 27 of 30 are index
          • Webmaster tools are not reporting errors
          • Webmaster keyword impressions are also extremely low 164 keywords with the highest impression count of 79 and dropping from there.
          • MOZ is show very few minor issues although it says that it crawled 10k pages? -- we only have 30 or so.

          The answer seems obvious, Google is not showing my content ... the question is why and what steps can I take to analyze this?  Could there be a possibility of some type of penalty?

          I welcome all your suggestions:  The site is www.calibersi.com

            Awesome, any thoughts on what I can check or do to see if there are any other potential issues with Google.  I'm a bit concerned that there is a penalty on this site.

              Much better Jack 🙂

              I see only about 50 pages now. Hopefully this will cure some of your issues now.

                Hey Andy;

                Can you rerun the check on the site and see if my fix address the billion page issue?  www.calibersi.com, I added code to block the crawlers from indexing these pages and a redirect to an error page if the count exceeds the available posts.  It should do it but it would be great to get another set of eyes on it 🙂

                      I would look at your Wordpress install first Jack. There is no way this sort of number of pages should be getting generated. Sort that out and you have sorted a huge problem out.

                        I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.  That should do the trick right?

                        I'll have to check the software to see why its doing that.

                          Hi Jack,

                          I used Screaming Frog Spider to run the report, which is still going and up to about 9k pages so far.

                            Hey Andy;

                            Thanks for the quick response: That would explain the 10k moz found, what tool did you use to create the attachment?

                            Although, I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.

                              I just ran a very quick scan of your site and you have thousands of blog and category pages.

                              There is a chance because of this that you are seeing a penalty - This is just one of the pages: http://www.calibersi.com/category/Vehicle-Graphics?page=1904

                              I would start by having a quick look at how the site / blog is setup and seeing if there is anything glaringly obvious there.

                                Indexing Issue of Dynamic Pages

                                Hi All, I have a query for which i am struggling to find out the answer. I unable to retrieve URL using "site:" query on Google SERP. However, when i enter the direct URL or with "info:" query then a snippet appears. I am not able to understand why google is not showing URL with "site:" query. Whether the page is indexed or not? Or it's soon going to be deindexed. Secondly, I would like to mention that this is a dynamic URL. The index file which we are using to generate this URL is not available to Google Bot. For instance, There are two different URL's. http://www.abc.com/browse/ --- It's a parent page.
                                http://www.abc.com/browse/?q=123 --- This is the URL, generated at run time using browse index file. Google unable to crawl index file of browse page  as it is unable to run independently until some value will get passed in the parameter and is not indexed by Google. Earlier the dynamic URL's were indexed and was showing up in Google for "site:" query but now it is not showing up. Can anyone help me what is happening here? Please advise. Thanks

                                Why is Google Webmaster Tools showing 404 Page Not Found Errors for web pages that don't have anything to do with my site?

                                I am currently working on a small site with approx 50 web pages.  In the crawl error section in WMT Google has highlighted over 10,000 page not found errors for pages that have nothing to do with my site.  Anyone come across this before?

                                When creating parent and child pages should key words be repeated in url and page title?

                                We are in the direct mail advertising business:  PrintLabelAndMail.com Example: Parent:
                                Postcard Direct Mail Children:
                                Postcard Mailings

                                Postcard Pricing
                                Postcard Advantages should "postcard" be repeated in the URL and Page Title? and in this example should each of the 5 children link back directly to the parent or would it be better to "daisy chain" them using each as parent for the next?

                                Page titles in browser not matching WP page title

                                I have an issue with a few page titles not matching the title I have In WordPress.  I have 2 pages, blog & creative gallery, that show the homepage title, which is causing duplicate title errors.  This has been going on for 5 weeks, so its not an a crawl issue.  Any ideas what could cause this? To clarify, I have the page title set in WP, and I checked "Disable PSP title format on this page/post:"...but this page is still showing the homepage title.  Is there an additional title setting for a page in WP?

                                What's the difference between a category page and a content page

                                Hello, Little confused on this matter. From a website architectural and content stand point, what is the difference between a category page and a content page? So lets say I was going to build a website around tea. My home page would be about tea. My category pages would be: White Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Team and British Tea correct? (  I Would write content for each of these topics on their respective category pages correct?) Then suppose I wrote articles on organic white tea, white tea recipes, how to brew white team etc...( Are these content pages?) Do I think link FROM my category page ( White Tea) to my ( Content pages ie; Organic White Tea, white tea receipes etc) or do I link from my content page to my category page? I hope this makes sense. Thanks, Bill
