hey all
First of all please help since I have now almost given up. So here I have this website, I only do SEO for my own website and that is it. I have been using few software for creating campaigns and the normal other stuff like social sharing etc etc. Everything is going alright, not too good but not too bad. Since the website is content heavy, usually once any article is published, it pretty much gets indexed in a day. Lots of pages are the 1st page of G for a wide variety of keywords. Now to the real thing.
So I decide to sell something. I create a page in asp.net umbraco however due to ugly names, I need to make a redirection. So I come up with this nice redirection link that has our keyword as well as product name in it. Did this a month ago, ran several campaigns, basically this would have been enough to rank any page on our website in top 5 easily. However I get worried last week since its not even indexed!! Now I look into it and I realize that my automatic sitemap generator had put in those 'ugly' pages in the sitemap and hence G had indexed those rather than nice friendly ones. Btw I am using Friendly urls only for one of these two pages on our website out of say 400+ pages on our website. So now I remove the duplicates through G, get them out of sitemap, put in my nice friendly page from G webmasters submit it, and even add it to our sitemap. However again several days, nothing! Even the article that was published two days ago has been indexed.
I can share the URL with you experts on the PM. I am out of ideas, I just dont know what I should do now!
Thanks,
Jen
