Crawled - currently not indexed. Some list items are now almost a year old

The usual advice is to ignore Google Search Console's "Crawled - currently not indexed" and accept pages that end up here will be indexed eventually unless there is something wrong with them.

Today I visited this category for the first time in ages - there are always more pressing problems to deal with. I found there are pages that are crawled and still not indexed almost a year after they were crawled.

The most recent are five months old.

18 of my pages have this status.

Each of the pages appears in the sitemap and is accessible through other links on my site - although possibly not enough other links.

If I test the live URL they look fine.

Google's documentation says there is no point submitting these pages.

What is going on here? Is there another way to wake up these pages and get them indexed?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
