Micro-site homepage not being indexed
Hi Thomas, I think your problem is partially duplicate content: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Once+you%E2%80%99re+approved+for+a+ReebokONE+profile+and+you+sign+up+for+the+commission+program%2C+visitors+can+purchase+products+displayed+on+your%22&oq=%22Once+you%E2%80%99re+approved+for+a+ReebokONE+profile+and+you+sign+up+for+the+commission+program%2C+visitors+can+purchase+products+displayed+on+your%22&aqs=chrome..69i57.1682j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8#filter=0&q=%22Once+you%E2%80%99re+approved+for+a+ReebokONE+profile+and+you+sign+up+for+the+commission+program%2C+visitors+can+purchase+products+displayed+on+your%22&safe=off This page is virtually identical to a bunch of others in international subfolders, e.g. http://www.reebok.com/sv-SE/reebokonehome/Landing-Page/, http://www.reebok.com/sv-SE/reebokonehome/ (same page but without /Landing-Page/, http://www.reebok.com/nl-nl/reebokonehome/, etc. It's highly unlikely that Google sees any of these resources as highly valuable on their own, given their duplicated many times. The solution here is pretty simple (in theory) though: the rel="alternative" tag (also referred to as the href lang tag) is meant for the purpose of telling Google that although these pages / subfolders, etc. are duplicates of each other, Version A is meant for the US, Version B for Sweden, Version C for Finland, etc. You can also create, for example, an English and Spanish version of the content for the United States and say: "these two pages are for a US audience but this one is for Spanish queries and this one for English." Here are some resources about the tag: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en http://moz.com/blog/using-the-correct-hreflang-tag-a-new-generator-tool Essentially, Google may be refusing to pick this page up because it's basically already seen it many, many times. Cheers, Jane
