      Hello,

      while I was checking this site;

      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html

      I found that the pagination is working this way

      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html#/page-2
      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html#/page-3

      and content is being loaded using AJAX. So, google is not getting the paginated results. Is this a big issue or there is no problem?
      Should I create a link for See All Products or there is not a big issue?

      Thank you!

        Thank you so much!

        I noticed the problem with the canonical when I was auditing the site. I think is this is a major issue. Google seems to be omiting that, because it is still showing inner pages in its results. We are not sure about how this can be affecting the entire site rankings, but I think it is not good at all.

        We have addressed that and we hope the site improves its rankings soon.

        Thank you again for your advices!

          Hi,

          In the specific example you give it's doesn't really matter - as all the pages of the pagination have a canonical pointing to the homepage.

          On top of that - the site indicates on every page that the alternate url for lang=es is the homepage as well.

          If this is your site, I would correct this - make the canonical self referencing & do the same for the alternate url (or just drop the alternate url if the site is only available in Spanish)

          To answer your question the link pointing to the next page is a plain html link: 2 so can be indexed by Google without major issues.

          On endless scrolling & pagination with Ajax in general - there is an interesting article on Google Webmaster Central: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.be/2014/02/infinite-scroll-search-friendly.html

          rgds,

          Dirk

My Site's Post's Image got 4 to 5k backlinks from unknown sites and also their is no contact details on their site so that i can contact them to remove. So, I have an idea for which i want suggestion " If I change the url that receieves backlinks" does this will remove backlinks? For Example: https://example.com/test/ got 5k backlinks if I change this url to https://examplee.com/test-failed/ does this will remove those 5k backlinks? If not then How Can I remove those Backlinks? I Know about disavow but this takes time.

            Site Migration - Pagination

            Hi, We are migrating our website and an issue we are facing is how to handle paginated content in our categories. Our new website will have the same structure but with different urls. Should we 301 redirect all the paginated content (if crawled by Google) to the url of the main category? To put this into an example: Old urls: www.example.com/technology/tvs      (main category of TVs & also page 1) ** www.example.com/technology/tvs?v=0&page=2 **    ( page 2 of TVs) New urls: **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs     **(main category of TVs & also page 1) **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs?page=2       **(page 2 of tvs) Should we redirect  all of the old TV urls (also the paginated) to www.example.com/soundvision/tvs ? The is no rel next, prev tag in our site and no canonicals. Also there is a view all products page in each category, BUT it doesn't contain all the products(max. is 100 per page - yes the view all page is also paginated). The same view all products page (paginated) will exist in the new website also. I checked google search console, and Google has decided to treat as canonical page the first page www.example.com/technology/tvs . Also, all the organic traffic of our categories goes to these pages (main category page - 1st page). I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

            Is there a benefit to changing .com domain to .edu?

            Hey All! I'm wondering if there is any benefit (or if benefit could possibly outweigh the cost) to changing a domain from .com to a new .edu domain. The current .com domain has decent credibility already, and the .edu will have never been used before.

            Using CSS to hide anchor text

            Hi all, In my website, I would like to use CSS to set the anchor text to "website design service"(my company provides web design service) but show the button text as "website", due to some artistic reasons. Therefore, the anchor text for the link is "website design service" but what users see is "websites". Does this sound spammy to Google? Is it a risky move that might hurt my SEO? Looking for some advises here. Thank you very much. Best,

            Changing Brand and Domain Name - SEO Impacts

            Hi everyone I'm hoping a few of you can help me out... We're an online-one retailer and we're currently looking at rebranding.
            This is for commercial reasons: Our current name is difficult for customers to spell It's not wholly representative of what we now offer We want to push offline and social marketing to help increase or DA In a nutshell, our current name implies 'cheap' and we're moving more upmarket.
            Our DA is only 10, and a re-brand will make our brand more marketable.
            A stronger brand and DA will help us climb up the rankings quickly - last year we ranked no 1 for a relatively competitive term before dropping a few places. In terms of current traffic: 30% is via SEO (we have a low DA but rank ok for certain phrases) 70% is via adwords We had our website redesigned last year and it performs well. 
            The idea is to have a new brand logo and colours and move to a new domain.
            We will keep all our existing products and content. Please could anyone let me know the implications of this move?
            What are potential pitfalls, and what will we need to do to alert Google?
            I have read about 301 redirects, would these be required? As always, any help is very much appreciated. Many thanks Abs

            Changing from .com to .com.au

            Hi All, we are looking for some guidance please, if at all possible. We have .com domain (the domain is older than 10 years), we have been using it for 2 years. We also have .com.au version of the domain (the domain is 2 years old, pointing to the .com domain) and isn't being used. We are an Australian based company. Our question is, should we be using .com.au instead of .com and if so, how would you advise going about doing the change over without having huge SEO impact on our business (negatively). We are on the home page for most of the searches we have optimized for, but we are always below the .com.au's - which is why we are considering the possibility of the move? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated 🙂

            How to track mentions with links using Mentions App

            We have a large client that we've just taken on board for organic search marketing. A great client that continually gets links from the BBC, NY Times etc which actually takes care of having to do any marketing for them. However, they get 10-15 unlinked mentions per day. Just recently, they peaked at 32 mentions in one day from JUST websites. But I need a quick way to filter these out and check if there is a link pointing to their website. I want to be able to build up a list of opportunities without having to manually check each website. How do, Mozzlars!?

            Will using a service such as Akamai impact on rankings?

            Howdy 🙂 My client has a .com site they are looking at hosting via Akamai - they have offices in various locations, e.g UK, US, AU, RU & in some Asian countries. If they used Akamai, would the best approach be to set up seperate sites per country: .co.uk .com .com.au .ru .sg etc Although my understanding is that Googlebot is located in the US so if it crawled any of those sites it would always get a US IP address? So is the answer perhaps to go with Akamai for the .com only which should target the US market and use different / seperate C class hosts for the others? Thanks! Woj
