I have been developing a web page named: directorioelectronico.com and I have specially issues now, I will be very grateful that someone can be help me.
The web page has been submitted in Google.com and now all the links that are in the homepage are listed in search results BUT some links ej. google.com/maps are not list in the home page (because it appears only when you select your municipality). How can I tell to Google that it exists (maybe without a sitemap.xlm because my links have metadata that is very important that google knows?
In advance, Thank you very much for you help.
My solution was that I create a route /sitemap.xml and put it in robots.txt too I created an html page with all the sitemap with cities, companies and all imoportant links.

our 2 products such as www.nbook.in and www.a4auto.com are removed from all search engines. These projects got sub-domains and the links from subdomains are available. The domain is not blacklisted. The custom sitemap is created and the same is getting indexed even now. Analyzed the URL by google search console and it seems fine. 'site:nbook.in' in google didn't produce any result. Actually, we got more than 75,000 links available on google. it was working fine till last week. This is affecting our product's Alexa rank and reach. There is no issue with robots.txt file in the server document root folder. There is no rule set to deny any bot or user agent. It is not just Google, all search engines removed our links and this is making me confuse. We have other products which is designed and developed on the same way but there is absolutely no issue. I think there is nothing more to do with google search console/webmaster. I'm ready to provide more data upon requirement. Please help.
create robots.txt on root and put this code
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
I have a simple question...I had an old store and people bookmarked specific product pages in their browsers as well as Google search points to some specific pages. I have now installed a new version of Magento (1.9.1) and some of these URLs will not longer work (they will show the standard 404 not found Magento page).
What would be the best way to forward all these hits to the front page?
Thank you for any suggestions!

Login to the admin, go to System>Configuration>Web and change the drop-down value for CMS No Route Page in the Default Pages section. You should be able to select your CMS Home Page.
Here is a reference with images
If manual setting doesnt help,you can try this.
We have multiple sites indexed in our GSA. For site abc.com, everything works perfectly. The start URL is the home page, and links from there are followed properly by GSA and the entire site is indexed.
For site def.com, the setup is the same (start URL, follow patterns) and the links are valid. The home page gets indexed but the links from there are not followed. But if I index a linked page directly by recrawling it, it gets added. License limit is not the issue - the number of crawled documents is well below the limit. I have also made sure the pages are not skipped due to "do not follow patterns". The site does not have a robots.txt file, so no exclusions there either. There are no noindex/nofollow/googleon/googleoff tags.
So why is GSA unable to follow links?
It depends on how def.com renders the content. If the links are built in run time for the site def.com at the browser end, GSA would not be able to replicate it to understand the links on the page.
Hit the def.com home page on your browser and look for anchor tags.<a href= />.
If it is present obviously GSA will follow the urls and index the same.
You can also check the crawl diagnostics (Number of links on this page to crawled pages) of the def.com home page to know whether GSA is able to discover links from your home page.
If GSA is not discovering links from the home page then go ahead and create jump page for def.com website and index that with noindex robots meta tag.
Hope it helps.
I've read the guideline on google news sitemap but could not locate whether google news sitemap needs to be referenced on robots.txt.

Could someone please confirm
On the documentation page you linked, there is this note:
Once you've created your Sitemap, upload it to the highest-level directory that contains your news articles. Please see this page for further instructions on submitting your Sitemap.
It explains that you can submit the sitemaps in Google Webmaster Tools: Crawl → Sitemaps
No it does not need to be included in robots.txt if you have submitted it to Google, but it is a good practice to do so.
I'm having e-commerce store built in magento. As by marketing point of view we planned to create a landing page which contains all registration fields and we'll run a separate adcampaign only for that to collect user's info.
I don't have any idea to do this.
Please give me a suggestion to make it possible.
Thanks in advance.
Not exactly what you asked for but If you need to get users to login/register on your site right away when they visit, you could use this lovely extension.
