How to put news on your site from other sources and is it a good idea
-
Hi i have seen this site and have been watching it for some time and really like it. I would like to put news on my site for one topic and would like it displayed like this site does but i am not sure how they do it.
here is the site http://www.topix.com/uk/grimsby
I use joomla so i am not sure you can do exactly what they do where they have so much of the story before being sent over to the main site.
Also i would like to know if this is a good idea or a bad idea as i am thinking this could take away my juice from my site
any advice would be great.

Does not take from your site. This type of feed, to some degree was presumed to bring freshness or keep a site current. Most are in sidebars and I think are likely devalued or irrelevant. (See Alan's comment - there is a reason he does it that way.)
If you want to add something to your site for your visitors and you believe it is relevant to them, do it. Set it where it always opens to a new tab or page so that if they close the feed page they landed on before returning, your page is still on their screen.
As to looking at a site to try to understand it, I can't. I see sites everyday that i have to believe have a purpose...I will never know what it is.

would it take away any of my juice from my site and also would it be a good idea or a bad idea. want people to stay on my site but thinking if i do this then people will leave my site and not come back. in two minds if to do it.
the one thing i cannot understand about the above site is, all they do is have feeds so how do they make money if people are going to jump off their site every two seconds.

You can do this with Joomla using practically any news feed. We use joomla on many client sites and have feeds. With most you can control how much of the feed to show. Many use Feed Burner but there are others that work well.

I have done it many times, i have not noticed any bad results.
I do it with code not wirth a CMS, I believe search engines can see that it is from news feeds or sites.
I use the Bing API to get news from Bing, or consume xml feeds. Some time I just request the webpage containing the news stories and cut out the string containing the stories.

Are sliders killing our site?
Our website, http://shatterbuggy.com, has what I believe is a systemic issue that stems from the heavy reliance upon the Revolution Slider for Wordpress. I am not an SEO expert and our site has vexed many SEOs in the past. We get feedback regularly from customers (especially those that are not tech savvy) that express gratitude for the ease of use via following an image to image sequence to get to their respective booking. This was our goal when creating the site. Incidentally, in many cases, the only linking from page to page is within the slider itself (clickable image) and there is little to no content. That said, we seems to stumble in SERPS against seemingly inferior competition. For example, we should be ranked in spot 1, 2, or 3 ish for "iPhone repair Minneapolis" but rather we are stuck near spot 15. Any thoughts on whether this is a strategy that may be harming us? If so, would simply creating content on these empty (slider only) pages help? Should we create "static links" that connect to the same places as the slider? Also, is our particular use of the slider creating H1 issues? Thank you all! B.

Duplicate Content within Site
I'm very new here... been reading a lot about Panda and duplicate content. I have a main website and a mobile site (same domain - m.domain.com). I've copied the same text over to those other web pages. Is that okay? Or is that considered duplicate content?

Bing is not Indexing my site.
Hi, My website is four months old and has more than 8000 pages. Bing has indexed only 8 pages till date and Google also keeps playing hide and seek with it. There was a time when google indexed almost all the pages of my site but now there are only 5000 pages indexed. Moreover when I check my site on google (by typing site:socktail.com), it shows only 26 pages. Please let me know what should I do. If somebody wants to take a look, my website is http://socktail.com Thanks

Open Site Explorer Question
In OSE I have 3 of my top 5 pages as store.com, store.com/Default.asp, and store.com/default.asp -- I have a canonical version of at store.com/default.asp. I have inbound links coming to all three urls -- b/c OSE is listing these as seperate pages does that mean the link juice is not being consolidated? Or is this not something to worry about?

Penalities in a brand new site, Sandbox Time or rather a problem of the site?
Hi guys, 4 weeks ago we launched a site www.adsl-test.it. We just make some article marketing and developed a lots of functionalities to test and share the result of the speed tests runned throug the site. We have been for weeks in 9th google serp page then suddendly for a day (the 29 of february) in the second page next day the website home is disappeared even to brand search like adsl-test. The actual situalion is: it looks like we are not banned (site:www.adsl-test.it is still listed) GWT doesn't show any suggestion and everything looks good for it we are quite high on bing.it and yahoo.it (4th place in the first page) for adsl test search Anybody could help us to understand? Another think that I thought is that we create a single ID for each test that we are running and these test are indexed by google Ex: <cite>www.adsl-test.it/speedtest/w08ZMPKl3R or</cite> <cite>www.adsl-test.it/speedtest/P87t7Z7cd9</cite> Actually the content of these urls are quite different (because the speed measured is different) but, being a badge the other contents in the page are pretty the same. Could be a possible reason? I mean google just think we are creating duplicate content also if they are not effectively duplicated content but just the result of a speed test?

Too many links on my site
Hi there everybody, I am a total SEO newbie and i am burning with questions. I had my site crawled and found out that it contains too many links. The reason is that it is a site where I constantly write news and articles and each one of them is a new Joomla item, thus a new link. I actually thought lots of content is good for SEO. How am I supposed to reduce the link amount?
