Root page not coming up first
-
Hello.
Any idea why site:www.bestprice.gr query doesn't bring the www.bestprice.gr as the first result?
Could it be that the site is under a penalty?
Thanks.
-
That's what I think too.
However, I do feel this has to do with some kind of penalty or issue concerning our site.
If any clues come up, please share.
Thanks.
-
I don't think your site is under a penalty, if it were, you would not see any links in the search result.
It is weird, especially since the query "bestprice.gr" and "www.bestprice.gr" (no "site:" ) bring up the root domain as the first result.
-
Oh, no, nothing like that indeed.
We, in fact, render meta tags (description and keywords) only if the user-agent is identified as bot.
Here is how GoogleBot "sees" the page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1TyyWcAAVlsJ:www.bestprice.gr/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk
Again, as you said, weird.
-
Let me check your page...
(thinking)
Meta robots is an alternative way to say to Google that he can go to an specific page, but just what you want him to do, like indexing, but nofollowing. The list is below:
The standard is INDEX, FOLLOW, that's why it doesn't appear above.
But I checked your site, it don't have that there, so it's not meta robots.
-
Nothing weird on robots.txt. (http://www.bestprice.gr/robots.txt)
As for the "meta robots", please elaborate.
-
Hello,
It don't appear in any page? Weird...
Maybe robots.txt, meta robots?

Followed all on-page rules no listing for target keyword :(
Hey guys, long time Moz user, first time forum asker. I recently went all out and tried to create above and beyond blog content, while also making sure to keep it SEO friendly. The page is indexed but does not show anywhere at all for the target keyword. Here is my article URL below. http://blog.storitz.com/2016/04/75-moving-tips-preparing-packing-beyond/ I checked it on the onpage ranker on MOZ and got a B. Here are some theories on maybe why it's not ranking at all. It got knocked for keyword stuffing. Although my page has tons of content and the keyword density is at a reasonable rate, I still used the keyword 22 times. Another is my wordpress automatically set my robots tag to "Noodp". Wanted to get some feedback and see if there is anything you guys might have some insight into before I start making adjustments here. Appreciate it in advanced!

Shortened page titles and changed urls to match, will this effect my page rankings?
In my recent crawl, I was given a bunch of 200 errors for having titles too long, i rewrote the titles and changed the URLs to match (using wordpress). I was then informed by my boss that changing the URLs like I did (www.website.com/abc ->www.website.com/xyz) may have changed our page rank for those pages and if so i should revert them to the old urls. There are about 14 titles in total that I made these changes to. Would it be quicker to change the URL's to their old names, or better for me to use 301 redirects to point the old urls to the new ones? Will either renaming the urls of the new titled blogs with their old titles or using 301 redirects have better SEO results? Does wordpress automatically make these redirects for me? When I click a link of the old urls I kept saved in a document it still goes to the page.

At what point to stop comments on a blog? Do too many comments hurt the page?
I have a page that's ranking pretty well, and driving sales. That page is starting to get 10+ comments per day and is starting to get quite long. I was wondering if there is a point where I should disable the comments? My gut tells me that people interacting with the page, and Google seeing responses with the users SHOULD be a good thing not bad. But, then I think that a majority of the content of the page is no longer the article, but the comments. All the comments are good, non spammy and directly related to the topic. People just asking questions, etc. Good engagement, I should be happy right?

Content Architecture - Breakout Pages
If you have a page that summarizes four different product types adequately in a chart that requires no scroll, is there an SEO justification to also breaking out each product into a separate page, but basically it would contain the same information? The SEO in me says yes, because that's more crawlable content you can optimize, but wouldn't it go against usability and general common sense?
