Seo impact for template change
-
Hi,
If you change a template (wordpress, joomla cms..) without changing information organization..(urls..)
Does this can have an impact on your serp ?
Tks a lot ...
-
Dublicate content you may have even if you don't change anything the problem is in how the template was made.
-
I once had a template change and immediately lost 20% of my traffic. It took about 3 months to get that traffic back. I had later spoke to some other web designers and they claimed that changing the side bar menu was something you wanted to do slowly and not dramatically.
-
diferent cms have different impacts on content for example joomla and wordpress have different alternatives to load content, just verify it is better to do so, there alwas a posibility to be a mistake.
-
Tks ..
You mean i can have some duplicate content even if i don't make any change in urls, images,tags ?
-
only if your content, images have diferent alt, links, diferent tags (it may look the same but be carefull to tags in your page) but all this dont have a big impact, and be careful about your cannonical links, and see in google webmaster tools if crawler has detected any dublicate content

Will using query string in the URL and swapping H1s for filtered view of the blog impact SEO negatively?
This is a blog revamp we are trying to personalize the experience for 2 separate audiences.We are revamping our blog the user starts on the blog that shows all stories (first screen) then can filter to a more specific blog (ESG or News blog). The filtered version for ESG or the News blog is done through a query string in the URL. We also swap out the page’s H1s accordingly in this process, will this impact SEO negatively?

Badges & SEO
Hello, Moz Community! We're working on creating an affiliate badge for events that make our best-of list and we're wondering: if every event website embedded the badge (could be as many as 70), would having the same image hosting URL for each one raise concerns with Google? Thanks!

Changing URLs for SEO
Hi, Currently we have a page, /business, but we have shifted our strategy to optimize for this page for the keyword "enterprise" instead of "business". The page authority of this page is 18 and our domain authority is 35. I've already updated content and title tags to more of an enterprise focus. Would it be wise to move the page to /enterprise and create a 301 redirect from /business to /enterprise? Or is this too risky from an SEO standpoint? Thanks!

Questionable SEO
Chess Telecom appears first when you search for 'business phone lines' in the UK so I used a campaign to check them out. It seems they've got tons of unrelated links and using comment spamming to increase their ranking. Along with fake twitter accounts and other things. Search for 'jewel jubic chess' and you'll see what i mean. I assumed this wasnt a good idea and been trying to get my link on relevant websites only. Any comments or suggestions? Should I simply trust that google will hopefully punish them eventually? Or should I be fighting fire with fire? Thanks Dan

What are the SEO implications of URLs that use a # in them?
I have several clients who have begun to ask questions about sites that are designed to look like a single page. When you click on a link, the URL changes but it uses a # before (i.e. http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa**/#**/teamusa/athletes/kerri-walsh.html. What are the SEO implications of having a page set up this way? I noticed that Google has indexed this page but the indexed URL does not include a #. Is Google indexing a separate version of this page? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks
