Should "white label" sites be unique IP addresses?
-
My company is planning "white label" subsites with unique URLs.
Should these sites be unique IPs in order to use them for link building?
-
Hi,
Just to clarify - my company sells geo-location specific products that can usually only be sold to people living in the local country. The sites will therefore be something such as:
Widgets in Australia
Widgets in UK
Widgets in South Africa
Do you think having them be hosting on separate IPs be a high priority (currently they are scheduled to all be hosted on the same IP and changing the strategy will be one of those SEO vs R&D discussions)
-
Sara, I would strongly recommend to stay away from doing 30-40. That's a little too many. If you are doing sites like:
Red Widgets
Blue Widgets
Green Widgets
I would recommend them being combined into 1 Widget site, Widget.com/Red-Widgers, Widget.com/Blue Widgets and so on.
And considering this, if we are talking about 2-5, yes, it would make complete sense to host them on separate IPs.
I hope this helps.

They are more like satellite sites. We are starting with 2 sites but it will probably be about 30-40 within the next year.

Sara, are you talking about microsites/satellite sites or mini-sites intended to promote a specific set of products, contest, sweepstakes or a promotion ? How many sites are you talking about ?

Rel="canonical" Wordpress 2015 Best Practice
There are forum posts about how to insert rel="canonical" tags in Wordpress, but I've read about lots of changes in this space recently (updates to Yoast, for example). I'm having a problem with duplicate content on one of my sites, and it seems to be coming from multiple indexes of the same pages. I'll have a blog post show up under the posts, then the archives, then the tags. So, my question is, in early 2015, what are the current best practices for adding rel="canonical" tags in Wordpress? Thanks! Tim

Does CloudFlare Benefit my site?
I am using the $20 / month CloudFlare service. My site is not running faster, so my question is: is this service adding real value? I do not have a lot of highly sensitive customer data (some email addresses and customer names and nothing more - no credit cards). I am already using Amazon Cloud Server and it appears to work fine. Any thoughts appreciated.

Site Cleanup Operation
Hi, I hope you can help, I have been asked to look at a friends site that is simply shocking, but somehow ranks for its main target keywords, mainly because they are easy. But going through the site he has like 350 links on his menus that are all follow so I need to change them to nofollow, but should anything else normally be marked such as no index etc on a menu link. Also upon doing a Moz scan there are something like 250 missing meta descriptions from old blog posts. When I looked closer they had been using the blog section for posting relevant news headlines, but thats it, So he has 250 useless, low quality blog posts. My question is, what should I really do with them, ie delete, redirect, canonical etc. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Paul

How is my on-site SEO looking like?
I know this is a broad question. My site's content has been written more than one year ago and haven't been changed so far. Our main goal is to make the application hosted in the site work better every day, so we don't worry much about writing content. The URL is http://www.onlinelogomaker.com

How unique should meta descriptions be?
I understand that it is a best practice to write a different meta description for each page. However if you have 50 pages on a topic that are similar, is it okay to just change a couple words. For instance if you have a page about how to get an SEO job in each state, can you use the same meta description 50 times but change just the state name. Or is it much better to vary the meta descriptions significantly. Thanks!
