Google Indexing Issue

Oops.. Error on my last thread...

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone would know why google would slow their crawl rate. I have two wordpress blogs that have really good rankings. One site has not been crawled since the end of June and the other is now being affected by a slower crawl rate. We post fresh content on both sites almost daily. Anything I can do to speed this process up? Also, it seems our content gets picks up on other sites through our RSS feeds, but we are not getting credit for it. We were Pinging every article, but now we feel this isn't really helping us. All our content is original and we wait until it gets indexed before submitting it to other sites.

Finally, we post duplicate content to sites like Ezine quite frequently. Could we be getting penalized for this?

FYI, looks like we are getting crawled just not indexed?

    You have duplicate content on your site, and you have to wonder what the problem is?

    Also, how old is the site? For newer sites, its perfectly normal to stop indexing for a little while - or be slow on the crawl rate.

      Hi Kev,

      Thanks for the response. The content on our site is all original. I repost the articles to Ezine and Articlebase. Both sites are less than a year old. However, up until recently, we were being indexed quite frequently. It does look like we are being crawled, just not indexed.

      Thanks,

      Carolyn

        Yes, I wait until all or our articles get indexed before I post them on other sites.
