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?

Separate service page for each key-word we're ranking in
Hello guys, I have a service-based website. Right now, I have around 30 commercial pages for different services, that we offer. I came up with idea to add service page for each keyword we're ranking in. For example, we offer home-construction service and we have 1 commercial page for this service. I will create 10-20 pages for keywords, related to home-construction services.

For example: bricklaying, Fundamental works, Landscape works, Concrete works, etc. I saw similar approach on this website. It's a link on bricklaying page: https://kiev.kabanchik.ua/ua/category/kladka-kirpicha If you scroll down you will see section with keywords, related to bricklaying and each keyword has separate page with duplicate content. My questions are: Do you know the name of this SEO tactic, so I can google more information about it? Do you think that it's good idea to use similar approach in order to improve your rankings for certain keywords? Is it a dangerous SEO tactic that may cause some penalties for your website or it's completely safe? Thank you for helping, guys! 331ea1ea-1d49-4f6c-89ef-510ef4657fa4-image.png c5999dbb-6dfb-4fbe-b3e8-ab9a0943bd88-image.png0 -
Web page or blog ? Which one is preferable
Hello, For one of our sites, 19 keywords are ranking on Home page. But, the home page doesn't have content with those keywords. I am afraid that with Google updates, we will eventually lose all the ranking position for these keywords. Should we ask the client to create blog around those keywords or create separate pages ? Thanks

Best practice for Wordpress /page/2/
I realize that it might be a minor point but it still bugs me. We have a blog with a number of posts. Content of the posts does not expire or age (in the rare case something changes, we do update the information in the posts). The wordpress blog is setup to display our latest posts and displays 15 posts at once. Since we have a lot of content, the older posts get pushed off the front page which is understandable and desirable behavior. However the pages that have older posts have names like "/page/2/", /page/3/, /page/4/ and so on. This does not look very SEO or user friendly to me. What do you think? Did you come up with something better then /page/ and then a number?

Can a rel author tag point to a Google+ business page
I’m trying to get my blog posts to show with rich snippets but they are a collaborative effort from our staff and as such are posted under our business name. We do have some guest bloggers who write under their own name and we use the author tags to show this. Is there a similar way to do this with a business?

I want to remove some pages from my site with PR, what should I do with traffic?
I have a section of a site that I want to remove. It has a main page linked from the nav menu, and a half dozen subpages under that. The pages get some traffic and have ranks up to PR3, which is what my site's home page is. I'm no longer want to do these pages as they require tremendous upkeep and I'm not interested in keeping them going. So, I know if I just remove these pages and that's all, I'm going to pay for it somewhere with Google. What else should I do? I do't really have similar pages to direct them too.
