%20 represents a space character.

The proper URL to your "print quotas" tag page is: http://www.altman.co.uk/category/blog-tags/print-quotas

Notice the above link works. You need to examine your site's crawl report, locate the "referrer" field for the 404 error and examine the referring page for the broken link.

Below is one of the URLs, when clicking on any of the blog tags it takes me to a 404.

Not a hugely experienced SEO'er so any help is much appreciated.

If your blog tags are bringing up 404 errors, your CMS is not configured correctly. Can you share an example URL of a tag page?

If I change Tags and Categories in Wordpress blog post, will it negatively affect SEO and cause 404s?

Hi, I have belatedly come to the conclusion that I have been using tags and categories when blogging in wordpress incorrectly. The result is that Google seems to prefer to show my archives and tags in search results rather than the post itself. Not good UX. As the site is only a few months old, am I best to learn my lesson and tag and categorize correctly moving forward or Should I go back in to these posts and clean them up & categorize and tag correctly. If I do this, will it cause 404s and hurt my SEO? Thanks!

Do H2 tags carry more weight than h4 tags?

Of course H tags are key signals for relevance in search. Does an h2 tag send a significantly "louder" signal than an h4 tag?

How do I properly use the canonical tag to avoid negative effect from having identical content on 2 url’s?

To illustrate… I have same website uploaded at 2 locations (url’s). Only the domain extensions are different. www.myexample.com
www.myexample.org The benefit is that I may run some promos on one location and not the other to help in product surveys/testing. The website content is 98% identical and I understand this content duplication may cause SEO problems. The domain I wish to use for rankings etc is www.myexample.com 1) How do I go about avoiding seo problem? Do I need to place the canonical tag at www.myexample.org ie 2) Do I also place the exact same tag at the .com location or not necessary there? Is there an alternative or more effective option to resolving the problem?

Is it ok to just use the end of the url when using a Rel Cononical Link?

Hi, I am working with an account and the previous SEO used a Rel Canonical link that just uses the end of the url. Instead of the full url When I look it up on the web I see most people are using the full url. Is that the proper way to do it or does is suffice to just use the end of the url? Wanted to check before I take the time to change them all. -Kent
