Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David, If you do not have the time to resubmit, you do not need to right away; however, if you continue to remove pages from your site, you should update your sitemap to reflect your site's actual structure. If you leave it there, you are telling Google, "Hey, I got this page about XYZ. You should crawl it." And if you remove that page, you aren't providing Google with accurate information. You will probably receive a message about it in WMT saying that your sitemap was not fully indexed. You shouldn't be concerned about causing delay in Google recrawling your site and you should not expect any decrease in rankings. Just because you submit an updated sitemap, doesn't mean Google is going to drop everything to recrawl your site. It may take a week for Google to get around to reindexing everything. And as long as the content and URL structure on the rest of your pages hasn't changed, you can expect your ranking to me more or less the same. Hope this helps. Mike

changing .asp to .html won't help your SEO so i would just leave it alone. if you were going to deal with extensions i would lose the .asp and not have any extension.

I agree with Mark.  The question should be based on what kind of content you're putting there. If you're wanting to make a community, why don't you use it to highlight users of your product or service?  This way they can share it as well and help you create your content.

In our case, we added both page URL (<loc>) and video content location in the video sitemap. Is there a chance of canibalization, since only the content loc URL has been indexed by Google? Note: we added the schema.org properties as well (Embed URL). Thanks</loc>

Should I use the Remove URLs tool in Google Webmaster tools to remove them, before making my site live or after I made it live? ---- NO Should I remove my site completely and re-add it, and have it verified again? --- NO Should I just remove the old sitemap and re-upload the new sitemap and ask Googlebot to re-crawl my site? --- YES (do not even have to remove in WMT, just re-add, but replace in server new sitemap.xml before re-add) And I should also probably re-upload a new robots.txt file and remove the old one. --- If changes yes should prob do a 301 redirect --- YES, on pages that are needed to be for User Experience purposes. For bot purposes do a operator search in Google "site: yourdomainhere.com" -- then 301 any pages here to their redesigned counterpart address. A piece of advice, would be to have a nice, high quality, industry relevant content distribution strategy for launch and post launch - get lots of G+'s to that new content, and make sure the new content has the new architecture As Zach says though, the most important part is the 301's as if this is not meticulously planned for and implemented correctly it will mess with rankings and will also hurt user experience

This doesn't look like the newest version of Google's remarketing code. Check your Tracking info and update it site wide. It should look something like this:

Contact AdWords support. They are very helpful with these kinds of issues.

I have the same issue as Moosa. I have a site where some pages (in Spanish) are https. The english pages are http. Can you tell me if it's okay to have both in the sitemap.xml?

Hi Dave The Google Analytics In Page view actually does not show how many people click on a specific button but rather how many people visit the page the button links to. As you know Analytics only, at least by default, register pageviews, not clicks on links or buttons. So if you would have more than one link on a page pointing to a specific page you would not be able to see what button actually got the clicks. The number on both of them would be the views on the page they lead to. In your  case the button is implemented with a somewhat "odd"  instead of a "normal" button. I would suspect that the in page tools is not configured to show statistics for this tag. BUT, that does not mean that the data is not there. Its just not shown in the in page view. You might want to consider swapping it to a href or submit button and then add the image with some simple CSS. This would actually be "better"  HTML as well. Maybe something like: input.delete {    background-image: url('bin/images/common/delete.png');    width: 20px;    height: 20px;    border: 0;    cursor: pointer;} Hope this helps Fredrik

I feel like there are two issues here - one is whether to index "www." vs. non-www and the other is the secure/https URLs. Every URL I see in your index, except for two (which have both been blocked by Robots.txt, apparently) is "www", so I'd stick with what's currently indexed. I wouldn't worry about the sitemap - it's not called securely by Google, so they won't index it with https: - that's not really an issue, it's just a matter of protocol and the fact that it's a non-HTML resource.

Hi, Some days ago it was also happen with my site also. I could not found any backlinks and search query data, but tomorrow it is surprising i get my all data in webmater so don't worry about it. Please read that link It just say "No Data Available". You can find solution for your query. You specified that you have submitted new sitemap so now when Google crawl your site-map you get all data back. Google analytics data might be seems different because of these reasons. "Google has not crawled your site since the changes were last made, Google Analytics, track traffic only from users who have enabled JavaScript in their browser. Webmaster Tools does some additional data processing - for example, to eliminate duplicates and visits from robots.  "

My sitelinks disappeared last week.  I was frantically searching for reasons why and then 10 minutes later it was back.  I wouldn't get too stressed for now.  Wait and see if they come back.  Google may be experimenting with some algo changes and perhaps they only show sitelinks for certain queries and not every single time.
