* Hi, Since nov 20th none of my post pages are showing up in google, when I say
post pages I mean the page you arrive at when you click on the title of a post
from my main index. The front pages shows up fine when searching for a title,
however, the post pages have since stopped. I am using “all In One SEO”. Does
anyone know why this would have occurred or more importantly, how to get them
coming up again?
* Thanks

* Your posts have blank meta descriptions with lots of odd whitespace (not shown
below):
* ``
* Something is set wrong with your SEO plugin. Google does not like empty meta
descriptions or duplicate ones, and yours are both because they are all empty.
It’s best to have either unique meta descriptions or no meta description tags.

* This is the problem (I thought the plugin was doing it):
* ```
```
* Remove this entirely and try the SEO plugin again or try a different one. I use
[Head META Description](http://guff.szub.net/2005/09/01/head-meta-description/)
myself.

* hey and thanks for the help!! I grabbed that META Description and installed it,
Do I use it with ‘all in one SEO’ or instead of it? Do you see the problem go
away? google still is not showing my posts only my main page.

* Use only one meta description plugin at a time so that they don’t conflict. Your
meta descriptions are currently showing up and they look good… However, your
site is generating 500 server errors on the first load of a page for me. The
second load of the page works fine. I don’t know what would be causing this,
but I would suspect:
- A bad plugin, especially a caching or rewrite plugin
- Errors in your .htaccess file
- Web host server problems

* hey man, I been battling to figure out this google thing for days.
* I have the custom search on my site and can’t even get my own search results
using google custom search. Can you please have a look? also are you seeing my
latest posts in google? I can’t even find those.

* I do see some pages from your site in a Google search for: **site:thecount.com**
* You are using page2rss.com for your feed, and I noticed that it doesn’t seem
to be current (the most recent items are from a day ago). Google uses feeds to
quickly discover new posts and index them, and delayed feeds may be slowing this
down.
* In general, to increase your proportion of indexed pages, you need time and to
increase your PageRank by acquiring more incoming links. Unless a site is small
or has a high PageRank, Google will usually not index every page.
