      One of the main pages on my site, http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos, I have been having a hard time getting google to index it correctly or at all.  It is one of the top pages on my site and should be in my sub links in google, but it is not even showing up in searches.  Any input would be appreciated.

      The only red flap issue is the number of outgoing links, but that is the way the page is supposed to be.  I would assume most real estate listing pages are very similar.

      Ultimately when you look at traffic, time on page, inbound links, etc. it is one of the top pages on my site in all those categories.

      Any input would be greatly appreciated.

        Hi RobDanton,

        Making a quick analysis I've found some critical issues:

        • non-www and www redirect.
        • bad/ non existent sitemap.
        • many 404 errors.
        • bad implementation of https (some pages have it some dont).

        Make a technical audit, this Moz's blogpost might help: Technical Site Audit Checklist: 2015 Edition 

        Best luck.
        GR.

          Hi Rob,

          I agree with Gaston that a (technical) site audit would be one of the first things to do. In addition to Gaston's reply I can say that for example www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/ (and every other piece of content) is available through 8 different URL's:

          http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
          http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
          https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
          https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
          http://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
          http://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos
          https://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/
          https://waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos

          Fortunately you're using a canonical tag pointing out https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos/ as the main URL, however, not all of the content on the page/website is in HTTPS.

          Besides that there are a certainly things to improve on a page structure and structured data level too. And on a very basic level, also take a look for example at the number of H1's, ALT texts for images and so on.

          Good luck

            Hi Rob,

            Gaston and Andrew have already answered this question with supporting resources. But there is I good guide I came across for website Indexing. If you are still looking for solution, you may find this useful.

            You can check it here -  The White Hat Guide for Website Indexing

            If you have already found the solution, do enlighten us with issue (and what was causing the issue).

            Good Luck,
