Google Webmaster Tools is telling me that (29) URLs from my site could not be found. This is correct as those URL’s were deleted from my sitemap (they were for other states) “404 NOT FOUND”. How do I clean up these errors on my REW site?
Additionally, my home page is indexing pretty well but none of my secondary pages are indexing at all. Is this problem tied to the issue above or is there something else giving me the issues with all of my other content pages - even when I copy and paste the exact title of these secondary pages into Google search, they will not show up on Google. Again, I don’t have a problem with my home page only the others… Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Granda -
In order to check which of your pages are indexed, type in "site:www.example.com" - Your grandametz.com site has 66 pages indexed. See here. In order to get more pages cached, work on getting more backlinks. Also - work on getting some on-topic deep links to specific pages in your website. If there's a specific page you want cached, link to it. Over time, as your website gains authority, you will have a greater % of your pages indexed - and indexed quickly. As far as removing the 404's - just go to webmaster tools & request the page be removed. Tools > Remove URL's

I cleaned up the 404 errors - that was easy, thanks...
Can you give me an example of what you mean by "on-topic deep links" to specific pages in your website? Thank you.

Write a blog post about vacation rentals in Park City & link to the corresponding page. Make sure & use the proper anchor text.

Some of your pages may have been in the supplemental index that does not exist now. Google has said that they would be getting those pages into the main index. As you get more links to your site and the authority increases you will see more and more of your pages appearing. Eric's comment above about linking to your site from a blog post should help you, just remember that this needs to be an ongoing project.

Is it OK to post the same Blog content on REW blog and Active Rain blog?

Yes, I use adwords - I typically limit myself to no more than .30/click & I go for highly targeted KW's like neighborhoods. It's fine to post dupe content on REW & AR, but you'll get more benefit from posting unique content.

No - my sites are all "free" to search on. I'm interested in building loyalty.
