Google Ranking
asespat - November 19, 2008 - 09:08
Hello, the main issue is the google ranking
My website http://www.rodats.com almost not appears in google
even asking for the url www.rodats.com
It seems as google find something wrong in the site
If you see site:www.rodats.com you'll realize , only two events with nothing appears, and the rest are images from the gallery2 (not drupal)
It seems as my drupal 5 is almost not recognized in google
I've got sitemap
with 201 URL and google only indexed 5 and not the main ones
please contact me at
thanks
Validate your site
Use Firefox. Install Total Validator. Validate your home page. You will see timeouts and other errors listed. Perhaps Google was bored waiting for your pages. Fix the errors.
Run the validation again after you fix the errors. Include a screenshot of your site as seen from Lynx. Lynx is text based and will give you an idea of what your site looks like to search engine spiders.
Validate, fix, validate, fix, validate, fix, and make life easy for Google.

SEO
The first thing you should look at is that your site is accessible with, and without "www", so if i type http://rodats.com/, it should redirect to http://www.rodats.com, but in your case it does not happen. This is important because Google sees this as duplicated content, and you get penalized for that.
nice point!
I've looked around and not sure how to do that. Is it with a drupal module, such as global redirect, or domain config?
Thanks for the info anzoone!
multisite, redirect domain.com to www.domain.com - htaccess
I think I found it in htaccess

Yeah, the .htaccess modification
Yes, you can do that with your .htaccess files. Just find the lines starting with
"
# To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,
# (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...)
# adapt and uncomment the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rodats\.com.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.rodats.com/$1 [L,R=301]
#
"
and uncomment the lines the two lines "# RewriteCond....", and type your site name there instead of "example", and that should do the trick.
URL restringidas por
There is your reason. You have 21,318 URLs restricted by robots.txt, so you are blocking Google spider access to index your pages.
Check your robots.txt file.
