Reindexing a page

[shingionline]

Hi Guys,

I added a "noindex" tag on one of my website pages, not surprisingly the page got dropped from the google index, how do i get the page reindexed?

Are you using a robots.txt file?

Add the desired page to robots.txt to instruct spiders and search bots to index that page. here is a link to a google help file on the topic:

2 more suggestions: (if you are not already using them)

Register for google webmaster tools (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/)

Use a sitemap (XML version) as well. This can be very useful as you can physically submit it to google in real time (via webmaster tools) and point the googlebot to your site.

Hi! I am new to seo world and needs to learn more. I have problem in reindexing my site page. I used a tool to check the last cached date of my site and it's Oct. 22, 2010. I have made some changes on meta title and description of my home page two days ago but until now the title doesn't changed.

Is there any way to make the spider crawl our site frequently and index it? Please help me with this problem.

give the google crawler about 7-10 days don't worry he'll come soon

The best way to get Google to crawl your site more frequently is to get plenty of relevant backlinks.
