How to tell search engines like Google to display its tabs/url? - web

When we search in google engine it displays top web site tabs or links too. Like when we search "bing" or "net beans".
Q: How it displays those links. Do we have to tell it to display these links.
Q: Does it something have to do with sitemap.xml/robots.txt or it displays the links present in index.php of that website?
Robots.txt: allow/disallow bots to crawl which page.
sitemap.xml: tells the map/loc of your website pages and also tells the frequency.
Q: How does it display description of a website?
I have searched about description it has to do with meta tag name description. But i open the source file of net beans
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Welcome to NetBeans">
But the description google showing is
Fully-featured Java IDE written completely in Java, with many modules available, such as: debugger, form editor, object browser, CVS, emacs integration, ...

For your first question I should say that those links which you've mentioned are automatically genereted in top most visited websites and portals. If you'd set the sitemap.xml and robots.txt correctly in your website root folder, After a while if your website has a lot of visitors traffic, google detect your top most visited links which users most redirect to and show them in its result as you wish.
For the second question meta tags are not the only criteria the search engines show them in their results, Rather they catch the page content and extract the context from the text content of the page and show the description based on your entered keyword. However your meta description will be shown when keyword is the website name or its domain.
Take a look at Open Graph Protocol to extend your information about meta tags and your requirements for seo.

URL Rewrite IIS and search engine

I've configured my IIS (asp.net site) to use URL Rewrite.
In particular this is my rule (dynamic one): whatever url in format number/string will be redirected to a special aspx page.
SSo whatever url starts with mysite/id/Name is redirected to showprof.aspx?id=id&title=Name. This works perfectly.
My question is about search engines. I don't have any "fixed" page that contains links like mysite/id/Name that the spider can scan, so I'm trying to figure it out how search engines could index my dynamic pages. Should I create a sitemap.xml? if yes in wich way? or should I create a "hidden" page that contains every link to all my dynamic contents like mysite/id1/Name1 mysite/id2/Name2 and so on?
thank you
A starting point is definitely a Sitemap.xml, You could try for example the IIS SEO Toolkit and see if it is able to index any of your pages: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/search-engine-optimization-toolkit
It also has functionality to generate a sitemap.xml, although I'm guessing in your case you probably have some dynamic content, so a better approach would be to have a "handler" that generates it dynamically on demand (maybe cache it for performance reasons).
I would also recommend to have some pages that actually are accessible through normal links, for example maybe have in your home page of the site a link to a "site map" page (not sitemap.xml), where there you render a set of links that you want to index (at least the ones that are most important to you), and that will make them easy to discover.

site google tag does not show all results

If I go to this url
http://sppp.rajasthan.gov.in/robots.txt
I get
User-Agent: *
Disallow:
Allow: /
That means that crawlers are allowed to fully access the website and index everything, then why site:sppp.rajasthan.gov.in on google search shows me only a few pages, where it contains lots of documents including pdf files.
There could be a lot of reasons for that.
You don't need a robots.txt for blanket allowing crawling. Everything is allowed by default.
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html doesn't allow blank Disallow lines:
Also, you may not have blank lines in a record, as they are used to delimit multiple records.
Check google webmasters tools to see if some pages have been dissallowed for crawling.
Submit a sitemap to google.
Use "Fetch as google" to see if google can even see the site properly.
Try manually submitting a link through the fetch as google interface.
Looking closer at it.
Google doesn't know how to navigate some of the links on the site. Specifically http://sppp.rajasthan.gov.in/bidlist.php the bottom navigation uses onclick javascript that gets dynamically loaded and it doesn't change the URL so google couldn't link to page 2 it even if it wanted to.
On the bidlist you can click into a bid list detailing the tender. These don't have public URLs. Google has no way of linking into them.
The PDFs I looked at were image scans in sanskrit put into PDF documents. While Google does OCR PDF documents (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.sg/2011/09/pdfs-in-google-search-results.html) it's possibly they can't do it with sanskrit. You'd be more likely to fidn them if they contained proper text as opposed to images.
My original points remain though. Google should be able to find http://sppp.rajasthan.gov.in/sppp/upload/documents/5_GFAR.pdf which is on the http://sppp.rajasthan.gov.in/actrulesprocedures.php page. If you have a question about why a specific page might be missing, I'll try to answer it.
But basically the website does some bizarre non-standard things, this is exactly what you need a sitemap for. Contrary to popular belief sitemaps are not for SEO, it's for when google can't locate your pages.

Normal link redirects to friendly URL

Is it possible in any way to treat
link1
as
prodcuct/mobile/android/xy in address bar. I mean when click on the 'link1' will show the SEO friendly url in address bar.
Thanks in advance
It's impossible because your product create the extension from a PHP database and if list it as "prodcuct/mobile/android/xy" Google Bot find crawl error page does not found in your google webmaster tool.
So my suggestion is write php code that when ever new product page is created using your backend; make product name to create automatically as page name. Then your site can links can be index really fast.

SEO-Setting website to search dynamic data

I want to set my website . It has many user profile which is kind of dynamic.
e.g. http://test.com?profile=2,http://test.com?profile=3.
Whats steps I need to make so that its show all profiles on search engine dynamically.
1) I have an Google webmaster tool
2) Added a sitemap and robot.txt for the site.
After 1 months or so(Indexing is done , as I can on Webmaster tool account)
If I search the profile(say by name) I don't see the user profile in search.
I have added the url parameters as well e.g. here profile.
Am i Missing anything?
Can you get to a profile from the home page by basic links alone?
Search engines like to be able to find your pages on their own.
Do a more specific search first. e.g. add site:test.com to your search so only your site is competing.
Check you have not blocked the pages in the robots.txt file or via the robots meta tag on the page.

Home page is not displaying as the first term in google search

We have enable our website in Google Analytics and we have also used meta tags inside our jsp file.
Our website home page is not showing as first search term in Google and some sub pages are showed.
How can we get our homepage to show instead?
Use a sitemap.
You can find more info here: Sitemaps.org.
In a sitemap, you can set the priority of each page, so your homepage will appear above your other pages.
Keep in mind, though, you also have to have actual, relevant content on your homepage for it to show above others.
Their can multiple reasons. As you are saying, only homepage isn't showing. Then the mostly likely issue comes out is that it isn't indexed.
Another reason may be your is password-protected
OR
Your page has "no index" tags
