So that was the issue it looks like. I Removed the footer links to all category's an the " non selected " in the web master tools when down to 45k and dropping.. Sorry Im so critical about these forms its just that im duplicating the site this week 420 times and gotta get it right... Ill read up on the HXTML issue thanks for the reads up... </p> <p>Ps don't worry it will all be over soon but just make sure from now on with googles new rules you do not have dup content in your header.php including &lt;meta&gt; and also dup links and such in your footer.php or they will kill your page rank for duplicate content...</p> <p>Thanks again my frienddd </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79661 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:15:53 +0000 Chris Hajer 79661@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I do see this difference in the robots.txt:</p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/robots.txt</a><br /> <a href="http://www.thebartertown.net/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebartertown.net/robots.txt</a></p> <p>The wp-includes and wp-admin should not matter.

The page title is there in the &lt;title&gt; tag, and the post title is displayed properly. You seem to be questioning why Google has not indexed them based on the title, which works on your sister site thebartertown. net? Is that the issue?</p> <p>Here is one Google Search: <a href="http://bit.ly/SIQm3M" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/SIQm3M</a></p> <p>That brings up a bunch of pages from your site, but not the single post that I can see. I'm not sure why Google is not indexing your single post. Do you have Google Webmaster tools or related that would point out an issue with your robots.txt or indexing?</p> <p>Also, I have heard that Google cannot always index your page if it has XHTML validation errors. Maybe you need to correct those? <a href="http://bit.ly/R7xKZ2" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/R7xKZ2</a></p> <p>I doubt it's the validation, but it's worth a shot.</p> <p>I don't think you have anything misconfigured in Gravity Forms, but there may still be a difference between the two sites causing this indexing problem.</p> <p>You did not post any links to thebartertown - I would like to check the header (h1, h2, h3, h4 etc) which is used for the single post title. Maybe that's related? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79631 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:07:23 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 79631@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi<br /> Sorry here is 3 going back 3 weeks </p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/95783/services-classifieds/household-services-classifieds/homeoffice-cleaning-snellville-etc-insured-ga-united-states/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/95783/services-classifieds/household-services-classifieds/homeoffice-cleaning-snellville-etc-insured-ga-united-states/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/97138/jobs-classifieds/customer-service-jobs-classifieds/housecleanerparker-and-castle-rock-co-co-united-states/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/97138/jobs-classifieds/customer-service-jobs-classifieds/housecleanerparker-and-castle-rock-co-co-united-states/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/95797/for-sale-gen-classifieds/business-and-industrial-classifieds/for-sale-interest-in-www-cng-design-com-nevada-united-states/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/95797/for-sale-gen-classifieds/business-and-industrial-classifieds/for-sale-interest-in-www-cng-design-com-nevada-united-states/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/100617/services-classifieds/therapeutic-services-classifieds/certified-tantrayoga-healer-thai-massage-specialist-rare-unique-massage-nj-united-states/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/100617/services-classifieds/therapeutic-services-classifieds/certified-tantrayoga-healer-thai-massage-specialist-rare-unique-massage-nj-united-states/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.adszoom.com/98815/services-classifieds/real-estate-services-classifieds/thinking-of-selling-click-here-we-buy-houses-cah-offer-any-condition-il-united-states/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/98815/services-classifieds/real-estate-services-classifieds/thinking-of-selling-click-here-we-buy-houses-cah-offer-any-condition-il-united-states/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79610 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:14:20 +0000 Chris Hajer 79610@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you post a link to a post which was created with Gravity Forms on adzoom so I can check the title and compare to a post on thebartertown. net.

If I do the same thing on adszoom using the gravity form it dose not. Both site's use the same Plinks<br /> <pre><code>/%post_id%/%category%/%postname%/</code></pre> <p>So on thebartertown that regular HTML form uses the title as meta info... I wanna make sure the gravity form is doing the same on adszoom. I have read all seo info in Google web master tools and have gone threw everything before i posted this topic, like you said it maybe a setting Im missing? </p> <p>The only reason this is so important is because our clients find there ads / posts this way and I get ticket after ticket asking me why it dose not work the same.. Don't know if you can help but if you can that's grate!</p> <p>side note: I did notice if you hover over the titles at adszoom it dose say " permalink to ( post title ) " it dose not do this on the post's on the other site.. Don't know if that relevant or not just fyi </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79506 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:15:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 79506@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Scott, what are you talking about?!</p> <p>Are you creating posts with Gravity Forms, and you are wondering how to modify the post title? </p> <p>Do you have an example of the form which would create such a post, and then, do you have an example of a post which was created with the form? Then, explain what from the form should be used for the title of the post, literally the html &lt;title&gt; tag. Thank you. You have a very custom use for Gravity Forms and we sometimes forget where you are in your process to get things tweaked exactly how you want them. I think this is probably a simple setting but I am not sure yet what you're talking about. Thank you for any additional information you can provide. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79428 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:58:13 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 79428@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Haa I think if I put a &lt;meta&gt; like in a reg post form title field this would make the titles " searchable " via google.? </p> <p>Where would I put this tag? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/title-tags-and-meta-info#post-79287 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 11:01:39 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 79287@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi<br /> I notice if I make a HTML form and use it as a submit form it automatically uses the title as meta info. Example if I post then copy and past that posts title into the Google search if unique it will pull up the post in the search results. I can’t get this to do the same using a Gravity form for some reason. Is there something I’m missing in the theme or a setting in the form? Maybe a merge tag in the title field , like “embedded url” or and such? </p> <p>Ps I do have this in my header<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (is_single() || is_page() || is_archive()) { wp_title(&#39;&#39;,true); } else { bloginfo(&#39;description&#39;); } ?&gt; &#8212; &lt;?php bloginfo(&#39;name&#39;); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>not sure if applies to GF? </p>
