Hi,

I have given around 5 links to a particular page of my website. They were from good PR4 and above Article Websites. But still I find those pages are not indexed by google.

It is a Shopping Cart Website. The contents are also good enough. Hence can't blame contents also.

Any other reason I could look into.

Thanks in advance.

A short diagnostic checklist that builds on points from , and and targets common causes for shopping‑cart/product pages not being indexed.

Start with technical blockers (most frequent):

  • robots.txt disallow or rules that block crawlers from product or /cart/ paths.
  • Meta robots noindex or an X-Robots-Tag HTTP header that prevents indexing.
  • Incorrect rel=canonical pointing product pages to the homepage or another URL.
  • Pages only reachable via POST, behind a session/login, or rendered entirely by client-side JS so Google never sees the content.
  • Links to the page exist but are injected by JS/form submission or marked rel="nofollow" on the linking pages.

Concrete, quick checks:

  • Fetch headers to confirm status and robot headers:

    curl -I https://www.example.com/product-page

    Look for HTTP/1.1 200 OK, absence of X-Robots-Tag: noindex, and no unexpected redirects.

  • View the page source for <meta name="robots"> and <link rel="canonical">.

  • Run site:yourdomain.com and cache: queries to see if Google has an entry for the URL or cached copy.

  • Check server access logs for Googlebot requests and the returned status codes.

Use Search Console (URL Inspection / Coverage) to see crawl/render results, reasons like "Crawled – currently not indexed," and any manual actions. Confirm the backlinks are on indexed, crawlable pages and are real HTML links (not embedded in JS or behind forms). Article-directory links often carry little value; internal links, sitemap entries, and visible navigation are more reliable for discovery.

If all technical checks are clean and the page still isn’t indexed after submitting via Search Console and waiting a few weeks, improve the page: unique product copy, clear internal links from category pages, and structured data for product info. Reserve the disavow tool only for confirmed manual penalties and genuinely toxic link profiles.

Maybe the sites have the nofollow attribute for backlinks or maybe the articles from the directories have not been indexed yet.

Generally speaking, links on high PR (above 5) pages would be picked up really quickly by all search engines. I think a ping service might be helpful for this purpose. Also, if the comment part is hidden under some JS code, there might be also problem for search engines to find them.

Have a nice day,

Its easier now to get indexed in Google. Try social networking sites. Submit your pages in those sites, tweet it, share it.
