Matching C Block
-
Hi Guys
We have 2 sites that are in the same niche and competing for the same keywords.
The sites are on seperate domains one is UK and one is .com
They have their own IP's however have both have the same C Block...
We have noticed that when the rankings for one site improves the other drops....
Could the C Block be causing this?
-
No. It wouldn't make sense for Google to penalize a website based on an IP address' C Block.
Can you post a screenshot of your Analytics? What's the time span these correlated drops occur? Could it be coincidence?

Does a country specific TLD implicitly influence the full country name for keyword matching?
[Hypothetical situation - domain, country and industry changed] Let's say I have registered http://mybrandname.hk (i.e. Hong Kong) and my goal is to reach people in all global locations searching for Hong Kong hotels. The target audience will almost always put "Hong Kong" into their query, e.g. they might search for "Marriott Hotel Hong Kong". Does the .hk TLD implicitly give me a match for "Hong Kong" or would I structure my URLs such that all hotel info pages fall under a top level subdirectory "hong-kong". i.e. is it enough to have a structure like: http://mybrandname.hk/hotel/marriott Or should I have it like: http://mybrandname.hk/hong-kong/hotel/marriott ? It is safe to assume that other on- and off-page best practices will be followed, e.g. links from other Hong Kong sites, some backlinks anchor text including "hong kong", etc. Of course Marriott is just one example, there would be hundreds of hotels in this example.

Block url with dynamic text in
I've just ran a report and I have a lot of duplicate page titles, most of which seem to be the review page, I use Magento and my normal url would be something like blah-blahtext.html but the review url is something like blah-blahtext/reviews/category/categoryname So I want to block the /reviews url bit as no one ever leaves reviews and it's not something I will be using in the future. Also I have a dynamic navigation which creates urls that look like product-name.html?size=2&colour=14 these are also creating duplicate urls, anyway to fix this? While I'm asking, anyone any tips for Magento?
