My website sitelinks are only working when I Google example.com. If I Google search just the site name, it returns my site as number 1 but without the site links.  Is there any way I can make sitelinks appear for my site even when you Google only the site name?

My website used to have sitelinks and now it doesn't. It's very possible that it's due to changing the website to a sidebar design instead of having an "interstitial" type landing page which limited the number of choices, but I'm not sure.  Here is how sitelinks might look for a site:    What are some things that I can do to improve my chances of getting sitelinks?

How, within any one of the Stack Exchange sites, or from the Stack Exchange site itself, do I search and find the link to a Stack Exchange site by title, versus by content of the questions inside those sites? Specifically, the end result of the search should not return links to particular questions in that site, but only to the links to the "top" of the site such as .  This is not the same as . That is a different (albeit quite useful) use case from this one.

I have a website with software applications. Is it good for SEO to choose one keyword rich domain name for each of our software products or should we stick to a single domain?  From a user's perspective I think it would be easier to remember a domain that is keyword rich as the user will instantly know what this product is for.  But I have read articles that the latest trend in SEO is to stick to one domain for all of your products and invest on this single domain website.  Is that true? What do you advise? Should I register a separate domain for each of our products or should I use only one single domain?  Should I do a 301 redirect with a .htaccess to a single domain? And what about the sitemaps? Should I register all sites in Google Webmaster Tools and post a separate sitemap for each one of them? should my main site sitemap include all pages or should separate domains have their own sitemaps?

Sometimes when I search for something, there are plenty of links to sites with no content (those who only have the premade templates which the search terms), spammers, and leechers (as in copying content from other sites, like B r o t h e r s o f t who leeches on SoftPedia.com).  How come they have such a high ranking without any original content (furthermore, why are they not simply banned from the results)?  And also, is there some way of filtering them out? Like for example completely exclude a domain from search results?

When I added my site to  (previously Google Webmaster Tools?) it asked me to add combinations of my site, with http and https and no www and with www, so now I have four. I had to verify that I owned each one. My webserver redirects everything to the https + www version anyway.   http://example.com http://www.example.com https://example.com https://www.example.com   Now that I have four, which one do I click on to use and view stats for etc? For example, I can add a sitemap but do I do this four times or just to one of them? I can link one with Google Analytics, but again which one? Some of them are reporting stats and some aren't. It seems that the http://www.example.com version is the one getting indexed correctly even though I'm using https. It all seems like a huge mess. Can someone explain it please?  A lot has already been discussed here: . But it doesn't seem to clear up my question.

My old site used to write the URLs without !.  Eg: www.example.com/#/products  But it has been more than 6 months since I changed it to include ! in the URL like so:  www.example.com/#!/products   But unfortunately Google search results still show my old URL schema.  There is no way I could enter in the Google Removal Tool (via their Webmaster Tools) to remove www.example.com/#/products since Google will complain about an invalid URL.  All I want is to remove www.example.com/#/products and Google to show the one with /#!/products in the results instead.

I don't know much more about SEO, but it's interesting to learn about it. When I tried to search my website with an associated keyword or you can say with the exact name of the domain, I got some suggestions by Google. Here's .  First of all, I don't want to spamming here, I just want prove my question and want to give a hint about what I am talking here. The above link display the Did You Mean, I know the specific reason why Google shows this, but I want to know the Google's guidelines and some guidance by you experts so that if someone search for the particular keyword then Google hide that Did You Mean and display the result.

I started weeding through my site's search results from Google today, using a site: search, to determine if there are any links that cause 404s and thus need redirecting. To my amazement I noticed numerous https:// results relating to various pages. My site doesn't have a SSL certificate, doesn't serve such pages, doesn't internally link to https:// pages, doesn't include any such files in its sitemap.xml and, for all of these, never has.  I decided to do a Google search for https://&lt;my site&gt; and found one site that incorrectly refers to the root of my site with a https:// prefix - I will try to contact them to get them to correct this.  I'm not sure however how Googlebot managed to index the non-root files as https://. I can't find any external links to them and surely, without certification, Googlebot should have stalled at the first request?  I've just added the following lines to the site's .htaccess (although the surfer still has to navigate through the browser's "This site is a security risk. Abandon hope all ye who enter here!" message(s) first to get there):  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.&lt;my site&gt;.org/$1 [R=301,L]    replacing &lt;my site&gt; with my domain name.   My big question is this though - I would like to use the Google Webmaster Tools Remove URLs feature to remove the https:// pages from the index. Can I be guaranteed that this will only remove the https:// versions of each relevant page and not the valid http:// versions?  My thanks to anyone who can help me out with this particular question and the issue in general.

I have a website with a unique name, already indexed and with a perfect SEO. Although there are no websites with the same unique name, when I'm searching on Google I found my homepage listed on the 6th page.  Why something like this happens, and what can I do to improve?

I want to know, is there a huge difference in terms of SEO between these URLs:  example.com/ontario/toronto/listings   or  example.com/listings.php?p=ontario&amp;c=toronto   Will one URL rank higher than the other? Is there a huge difference here?

I would like to know if anyone knows whether a text only mention in a post i.e. www.example.com (NOT placed in &lt;a&gt; tag) counts as a backlink and actually gets followed and carries any weight in terms of PageRank (link juice)?  According to  they have made up their mind that it definitely does count, but not sure how knowledgable these folks are...

I am confused about domain names (I think)  I call these things, i.e. names you can buy, 'domain names'  bbc.co.uk google.com   I call these things, i.e. extensions of names 'host names'  www.bbc.co.uk mail.yahoo.com arts.mit.edu hello.there.example.com   Is this naming scheme correct? Are there official definitions of these?  In particular, what are each of the texts between the dots called (i.e. the name for "www", "bbc", "edu", "example")?

I'm running a website which is acting extremely strange.   At the time of writing, this link works: http://www.example.com This link doesn't: http://example.com  But it does work if you copy/paste it and run it in Incognito... This link (after ignoring a warning) serves a totally unrelated and unknown website: https://example.com    I have no idea how to debug this issue. I have contacted the hosting and domain company to investigate the issue. How is the last issue even possible?

This is a hypothetical example of an actual problem. I hope it's clear.  When I search Google for dogs I can see my website homepage http://dogs123.com.au with the title "Dogs a mans best friend!".  If I search for dogs australia I see my website homepage http://dogs123.com.au with an old page title "Dogs blah blah". Clicking through on this result gives the up to date, current page with the proper title.  i.e. for two different searches, returning the same result, one returns the correct page title, and one returns an old page title.  Why is this happening? Is it something on my side or Google's?

I recently switched my domain from  to , and added my new domain to my Webmaster Tools account. After a few days, I went there and checked the data, and I was a bit worried when I saw this:    How can I interpret this? Is Google really not indexing my site at all? I'm afraid that's the case, because when I google for it, only my old blogspot domain shows up!
