Getting querystring indexed?

[KAN-Malmo]

Hi everybody!

I work with tags a lot on my photo blog but I haven't gotten Google to index one tag so far. Any tips on how to do this?

Thanks

Have you looked at Google Webmaster Tools?

Under 'Site Configuration > URL Parameters'  You can tell google there which query strings do what. Which to ignore and which to include.

But it may be worth looking into using rewrites to rewrite the query strings into a regular url that can be easily indexed.

Thanks, great tip. Have changed the settings now and hopefully Google will index

Are you sure you don't have noindex on your tag pages ? PM me the URL. Is it wordpress ? Are you using any SEO Plugin ? Some plugins have a noindex on Tag and Archive pages by default.
