Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You can, but then the content will be removed from Google's index for 90 days. I am not sure what effect this would have on pages with the images. It shouldn't have any effect, but I would hate for you to have rankings in any way affected for 90 days. I have no experience in having images indexed in this manner. Perhaps someone else has more knowledge to share on this topic.

I have set robots.txt file for HTTP and HTTPS versions. You can find out both file above your response. Thanks for your answer.

You can read about Ngram viewer here: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/ngrams/info Google has digitized millions of books, magazines and written documents. Each book has a publish date. The Ngram viewer is a query tool which allows you to search for words or phrases over time. You can see the rise and fall of certain phrases, and understand when they became popular or lost popularity. For example think of "nursing home", "old folks home", "senior care facility", and other similar phrases. By using Ngram you can better understand related phrases or keywords and their popularity. This information can potentially help with any site by helping to target popular keywords or phrases related to your niche. I would suggest it is more useful for generating ideas. There are other tools better suited for both generating ideas and measuring traffic so in that sense, I would not recommend it for your needs.

Hi CP, If you wish to use robots.txt to block crawlers, then your two robots.txt files should be as follows: For your http protocol (http://vistastores.com/robots.txt User-agent: * Allow: / For the https protocol (https://vistastores.com/robots.txt User-agent: * Disallow: / Personally, I prefer to use the noindex meta tag for page blocking because it is a more reliable way of ensuring that the pages are not indexed. (Never try to use both at once) This link explains the difference between the two: [Google Webmaster Tools Help.](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35302 "Robots blocking crawlers") Hope that helps, Sha ```You can use a robots.txt file to request that search engines remove your site and prevent robots from crawling it in the future. (It's important to note that if a robot discovers your site by other means - for example, by following a link to your URL from another site - your content may still appear in our index and our search results. To entirely prevent a page from being added to the Google index even if other sites link to it, use a [noindex meta tag](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=61050).)

thanks...

I have developed multiple XML site maps for my eCommerce website (Lamps Lighting and More) and submitted to Google webmaster tools. You can see attached image to know more about it. I measured that, Google is not crawling effectively after it. Please, check image and let me know regarding issue. 6194756364_fb82efbbca_b.jpg

I read some where as follow. So, which is right? I am too confuse... a single feed can handle up to about 100,000 items of all types and categories -- from handbags to hammers. up to 10 feeds may be registered for up to 1,000,000 items. multiple feeds are mainly intended to submit more than 100,000 items -- not as a general separation of products. there are various issues associated with multiple feeds that should be taken into account -- such as coordinating unique id values across all feeds and update and upload coordination issues; but 10 registered feeds are allowed.

I have read entire blog post which was recommend by you. Kate Morris has given us such a great post and suggest to create unique content on product pages. But, It's quite hard for me to create unique content for Manufacture Detail tab for 7K+ products. Can I go forward with Ajax or Java Query to make it hidden. So, crawler will not able to crawl that content. What you think about it?

Hi, with this parameter, google don't check all these pages, because google think that are duplicate pages (and it's correct). I think is better to use the meta's. This way you have the control. Bye.

Great. Thanks for your prompt reply and I suppose to integrate with my problems.

No probs glad to help! Best of luck!

How your tags are generated are not considered in any form. Your e-commerce solution can automatically generate the tags, or you can manually create them. The content of the tags themselves are what's important, not how they are created.

thanks for the response, I'm going to implement the rel=canonical for the image gallery.

I aware about it. But, I have confusion with omitted results. Google shows me 509 URLs in visible portion and remaining one in omitted results. I have checked similar result for my competitor with table lamps keyword. site:simplytablelamps.com Google shows 2470 pages for my competitor and omitted result is very less compare to my website. I really don't know more about it but it may cut out my impression with products which are included in omitted result. This is my assumption. What you think about it? If you can give me more idea so it will help me more.

I would recommend dropping the .html / htm extensions from both URLs. The first URL is quite long and has too many folders. I am concerned the page requires too many clicks and/or you are stuffing too many keywords in your URL.
