Hi,

I recently launched by site http://ozscoop.com.au in December,2015. I’ve been wondering why my posts and articles are not getting indexed in Google but the funny part is all other pages of the site except the posts are indexed in Google – See here.

I have set-up a Google Webmaster tool and it’s not reporting any errors either. I’ve been wondering lately if I am doing anything wrong as none of my articles posted since 10 December are showing up in google.

Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomson

Make sure you have XML sitemap properly configured and submitted to Google as it’s best way to get all pages indexed. Also make sure proper canonical links and meta data, unique post names (no duplicate content), and try not to post content from other sources as they may not index some “copied” content in some odd cases.

Thank Chris.

Just logged into the webmaster to see the sitemap status and here’s what it shows – http://www.screencast.com/t/gUa1nhzJPPbr

/post-sitemap.xml shows PENDING

Does that indicates anything or should I just wait?

Thanks

Oh, btw, I just resubmitted /post-sitemap.xml and the pending status has disappeared and waiting to be indexed – http://www.screencast.com/t/dTvL2mEqh

I’ll wait and see.

Thanks for the quick response though 🙂
