task Resolved Google Custom Search Engine indexing problems

2010-04-30

A client recently had a third party vendor upgrade a portion of their website with a custom database.  As a result, many of the site's URLs were changed.  However, after launch, the old URLs were still appearing in their Google site search (Google Custom Search Engine (CSE)) and none of the new pages were appearing.  I provided a series of actions to resolve the issue including updates to their XML sitemap, Google Webmaster Toosl configuration, Google CSE configuration, robots.txt revisions, and the creation of new content pages to make portions of their site easier to index by Google and other search engines.
