i have an odd request from someone to help them NOT have their site listed multiple times in google search results.
this is the query:
http://www.google.com/search?q=colwell+shelor
in bing and yahoo, it works as they desire, just the index page. but on google, i am getting each page listed separately.
does anyone have any insight as to what i could do to change this?
their site is a mix of wordpress and custom php with some of the meta and titles generated differently, but i am not sure that matters.
thanks...
Actually, that is a very good thing to get multiple listing on Google. People paid SEO optimizer to dominate all spots.
In order to prevent that you can make a robots.txt and stop google bot from crawling particular links on your site. However, if that is too extreme then you have to register an account at Google Webmaster Tool in order to change how your site will display on search engine.

I'd like to see how many users view products by using the search feature vs how many go through using the nav. All pages using the search have "/search" in the URL and all pages going thorough the navigation have "/department". I'm wondering if there is a way to see how many pageviews there are that contain each of those terms.
If you have Google Analytics on the site, just go to the Behavior section and All pages report, then you can also use the filter to isolate the pages path you want.
I have about 2 million pages on my website (Wordpress) . The google is always crawl many pages on my website (recrawl old pages) and recently it took about 3 days to index the new pages in order to show in google result.
How to stop recrawl?
Sample of my sitemap : http://www.serze.com/post_part1.xml
Discourage search engine from indexing choice is your entire site will make non accessible for google. Your website wont rank on search result after that.
You can set update frequency for specific pages on your sitemap.xml.
https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html (check changefreq and priority tag)
Also you can check crawl stats on search console.

But it might be different problem. Did you anything for seo or software updates?
For that just go to admin > settings > Reading enable Discourage search engine from indexing this site.
and for Google create a separate robot.txt
Google Search Results shows different variations when searched the Website name with adding a space. I am Using WordPress Yoast Plugin.
Sometimes the results just show as a link and sometimes the results shows with the Inner Page Link details as well?
Does anyone can help what makes that happen?
See Attached Sample
The inner page links you are referring are called termed as site-links by google, and these site-links are picked up by google based on your website ranking/traffic/popularity the more old/famous your site the fast site-links will be picked-up by google.
The search result is depends on the search phrase you use, Google will always match the search term with the title of the site, if more close the match the higher probability of pulling the site links.
You can also user google search console to demote the links to appear in google search.
And the Yoast SEO plugin will give you the options to title,describe,keyword every post and page of wordpress site, but this plugin/ any other plugins have no direct effect on this site links.
On Bing & Yahoo our link is showing up on the first page, but I am having issues with it showing up on google search. Here are additional details:
The term is the title of the wordpress blog & it has been officially registered with the USPTO.
The site has been active since Jan 17,2016, so far we have 8 posts on it and we want to continue to post fun/relevant posts on the blog.
Thought a trademark association would be in Google Webmaster Tools, but it isn't there.
I looked at Ad Words and saw that it isn't a commonly searched term at all, so figured our blog would come up on the first page.
Been trying different SEO plugins & methods to improve the search for the term, but nothing seems to be working.
This seems to be a very odd issue. I been looking everywhere to figure this one out, but haven't found anything, and I am not sure who to turn to for help. Please help!
SEO is a tricky one,
but it works like this
Meta Description is number one (paste your url I can have a look at the code)
Meta Title (page Title)
Length the domain has been online
Number of crosslinks
Sitemap submission to google (then fetch url )
Make sure your robot.txt is not denying search engines
Make sure your website has content.

SEO is a slow and steady process; naturally it will take time to achieve the top position in search result.
Things you should do;
1) Add meta title and description to each page based on the keywords
2) Include keywords in URL of the page
3) Create a webmaster tool and use fetch page option to get listed in search engines (Example: Google webmaster is must needed)
4) Create brand pages in social media sites and interlink with website
5) submit your website to dmoz.org
