Does http://my.dudamobile.com/ Effect SEO
-
Hi,
Hope everyone is enjoying the new year! I was wondering if converting your desk top website to a mobile one, example via http://my.dudamobile.com/, has any negative effects on SEO.
Did it effect your site?
Do you recommend doing it?
Does it effect links?
When people link to your desk top URL does that authority carry to the mobile, or would it be better if they link to the mobile (m.website.com) URL?
Is http://my.dudamobile.com/ a good choice?
Any feedback, as always, is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jimmy

I think you are asking if changing your site from www.domain.com to my.domain.com will have a negative affect on your SEO.
If I understand this correctly, yes it will have a negative affect on your seo, how big the effect is depends on a lot of factors. Links to the subdomain of www.domain.com do not carry over to your mobile domain of m.domain.com.
The answer to whether this is a good choice depends on how much of your traffic is mobile and how much is via the desktop. If 100% of your traffic is mobile, it most definitely is a good choice.

Confused about repeated occurences of URL/essayorg/topic/ showing up as 404 errors in our site logs
Working on a Wordpress website, https://thedoctorwithin.comScanning the site’s 404 errors, I’m seeing a lot of searches for URL/essayorg/topic, coming from Bingbot, as well as other spiders (Google, OpensiteExlorer). We get at least 200 of these irrelevant requests per week. Seems like each topic that follows /essayorg/ is unique. Some include typos: /dissitation/Haven't done a verification to make sure the spiders are who they say they are, yet.Almost seems like there are many links ‘in the wild’ intended for Essay.Org that are being directed towards the site I’m working on.I've considered redirecting any requests for URL/essayorg/ to our sitemap… figuring that might encourage further spidering of actual site content. Is redirection to our sitemap xml file a good idea, or might doing so have unintended consequences? Interested in suggestions about why this might be occurring. Thank you.

New domain's Sitemap.xml file loaded to old domain - how does this effect SEO?
I have a client who recently changed their domain when they redesigned their site. The client wanted the old site to remain live for existing customers with links to the new domain. I guess as a workaround, the developer loaded the new domain's sitemap.xml file to the old domain. What SEO ramifications would this have if any on the primary (new) domain?

Minor SEO for Yahoo and Bing
Over the past year, we have completely optimized one of the sites we manage for Google (removed bad links, reduced keyword count, etc) and we are doing great for Google organic traffic. However, in the process we have seen a steady decline in Yahoo organic traffic and Bing organic traffic. Enough so that I am looking for suggestions for quick fixes that aren't going to interfere with the Google optimizations that we made. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
