Breadcrumbs in SERPs
-
Hi there,
Breadcrumbs now showing for my websites in Google.co.uk & Google.ie
I have 2 websites .co.uk & .ie both having the same content. There are legalities for having 2 separate domains. Anyway...
When I click on one of the breadcrumbs in the SERPs in Google.ie it takes me to the .co.uk website, however the title for that result takes me to the .ie website as it should.
I have checked my breadcrumbs on the .ie website and all is fine, however in SERPs it takes me to the .co.uk website, any ideas why this maybe?
Kind Regards

Sorry Robert, that site was just an example.
If you click here
We should be listed no.2 for hot flushes
Domain is avogel

Here is what the domain is that is resolving:
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Menopause/Pages/Selfhelp.aspx
I was looking to see if your nhs.ie was anywhere on the serps by looking at the actual links in the query code. I have yet to find an occurrence of the - .ie.
So, if you have both and one is for UK and one for Ireland, I would assume that at some point based on what you are saying I would see a url like above, but:
http://www.nhs.ie/Conditions/Menopause/Pages/Selfhelp.aspx
-
Hi Robert,
What website are you looking for?
-
Gary,
Yes, a canonical pointing to the .co.uk from the .ie is going to resolve as .co.uk. I have gone from every portion of the SERP listing on both (Google.ie, Google.uk). Whether on the title above the url or the sitelinks ALL resolve to .uk.
Also, on the pages I checked, there is no rel=canon for the .uk site you have.
I have yet to see in the SERPS any .ie page you have. So, are you sure both are ranking?

Hi Robert,
Sorry, I am totally lost on what you trying to explain.
The issue is not the way these sitelinks or breadcrumbs look. If I am searching in Google.ie for a particular keyword which my .ie website ranks for, in the actual results it shows breadcrumbs which is great as it may improve CTR, anyway when I click on one of the breadcrumbs in takes me to the .co.uk website, however if I actually click on the title of the result it takes me to the .ie website as expected.
One thing I mentioned is that I am using a canonical tag on the .ie website pointing to the .co.uk website, maybe this is doing something? One thing I noticed is that if I looked at a cached version of the .ie website in Google.ie it shows the .co.uk website.
Hope the above helps

Wow, that's actually kinda cool the way it renders, but I am going to say it is site links. First, I am on a MacBook Pro with 1920 X 1200 res. and was using Chrome latest when I hit the link you provided. I have attached the Chrome Screen Shot and then a Firefox Screen Shot.
If you look in Firefox you see the same thing resolving as Site Links more clearly. So, then i did search in Google.uk and Google.ie and used the same search menopause choices nhs.
Each time I got the .uk site. And, each time it was the .uk site that was in the serps. Always resolved to same.
If you look at the third image which is US non personalized search, you will see the first four results have sitelinks like you are seeing in Chrome.
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Alice,
Yes, both websites are geo-targeted.
What I can say is recently we added a canonical tag to the .ie website pointing to the .co.uk website as I belief it was having a negative impact on our ranking for the .co.uk website in Google.co.uk, so maybe the canonical tag has some sort of influence on these breadcrumbs?
When I look at the cached version Google has made in Google.ie of the .ie website, it shows the .co.uk version of the website, is this normal?
-
Hi Gary, I'm sorry I haven't come across that before but have you geo-targetted the sites through Webmaster? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=62399

Gary,
When you say breadcrumbs, are you meaning site links? That when you click on one of the sitelinks it takes you to the wrong site?

Page Title shown in SERPS not the same as
Hi all, I'm trying to get a homepage to rank for a certain term, but the page keeps showing up in the SERPS with the "Brand Name: Keyword" when I have written it as "Keyword - Brand Name" in the <title>tag. I can't even see "Brand Name" Keyword" in the code of the page so I don't know where Google is pulling this from? </p> <p>I have <meta name="robots" content="noodp,noydir"/> on the page.</p> <p>I'm running Yoast and have removed the Brand from the Site Name and the Page Title for the homepage is "Keyword - Brand Name" in WordPress. I've changed the meta description so I can see the page has been crawled and re-indexed as the new meta description is showing in the SERPs</p> <p>Any idea, where Google is pulling this Page Title from and how I can get it changed to read the actual <title> tag? Or is there something I need to change in WordPress?</p> <p>Thank you!</p></title>

What is best practice to eliminate my IP addr content from showing in SERPs?
Our eCommerce platform provider has our site load balanced in a few data centers. Our site has two of our own exclusive IP addresses associated with it (one in each data center). Problem is Google is showing our IP addresses in the SERPs with what I would assume is bad duplicate content (our own at that). I brought this to the attention of our provider and they say they must keep the IP addresses open to allow their site monitoring software to work. Their solution was to add robots.txt files for both IP addresses with site wide/root disallows. As a side note, we just added canonical tags so the pages indexed within the IP addresses ultimately show the correct URL (non IP address) via the canonical. So here are my questions. Is there a better way? If not, is there anything else we need to do get Google to drop the several hundred thousand indexed pages at the IP address level? Or do we sit back and wait now?

Is Video Sharing sites is still useful for SERP ?
Well I am not talking about the audience views, i am asking whether it is good for submitting videos to multiple video sites for backlinks and any sharp movements for the keywords. I seen most of the sites are nofollow which is not useful but for the link diversification is that something good ?

My site dropped in serp and backlinks ranked higher than it.
appliance-repair-ny.com I recently got some new good page rank backlinks (4-5) to my site. After a nice increase in rankings i left it for a couple of day (holiday) when i came back i found out that my rankings dropped dramatically for many different keywords when in some cases the backlinks are listed higher than me for the keyword. Any suggestions? should i keep on building links in the same paste, or slow down a little? UPDATE: I now noticed that the seomoz app has a warning that my homepage is missing title tag and meta tag. I'm using wordpress and headspace plugin. I recently updated wordpress.
