How to put news on your site from other sources and is it a good idea
-
Hi i have seen this site and have been watching it for some time and really like it. I would like to put news on my site for one topic and would like it displayed like this site does but i am not sure how they do it.
here is the site http://www.topix.com/uk/grimsby
I use joomla so i am not sure you can do exactly what they do where they have so much of the story before being sent over to the main site.
Also i would like to know if this is a good idea or a bad idea as i am thinking this could take away my juice from my site
any advice would be great.

Does not take from your site. This type of feed, to some degree was presumed to bring freshness or keep a site current. Most are in sidebars and I think are likely devalued or irrelevant. (See Alan's comment - there is a reason he does it that way.)
If you want to add something to your site for your visitors and you believe it is relevant to them, do it. Set it where it always opens to a new tab or page so that if they close the feed page they landed on before returning, your page is still on their screen.
As to looking at a site to try to understand it, I can't. I see sites everyday that i have to believe have a purpose...I will never know what it is.

would it take away any of my juice from my site and also would it be a good idea or a bad idea. want people to stay on my site but thinking if i do this then people will leave my site and not come back. in two minds if to do it.
the one thing i cannot understand about the above site is, all they do is have feeds so how do they make money if people are going to jump off their site every two seconds.

You can do this with Joomla using practically any news feed. We use joomla on many client sites and have feeds. With most you can control how much of the feed to show. Many use Feed Burner but there are others that work well.

I have done it many times, i have not noticed any bad results.
I do it with code not wirth a CMS, I believe search engines can see that it is from news feeds or sites.
I use the Bing API to get news from Bing, or consume xml feeds. Some time I just request the webpage containing the news stories and cut out the string containing the stories.

If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect?
If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect? If this scenario requires a 301 redirect no matter what, I might as well update the URL to be a little more keyword rich for the page while I'm at it. However, since these pages are ranking well I'd rather not lose any authority in the process and keep the URL just stripped of the ".html" (if that's possible). Thanks for you help!

Duplicate Content within Site
I'm very new here... been reading a lot about Panda and duplicate content. I have a main website and a mobile site (same domain - m.domain.com). I've copied the same text over to those other web pages. Is that okay? Or is that considered duplicate content?

Way to spider Wordpress site
I have an old Wordpress site and I want to move it to a new server and take it off Wordpress (too many hacks). I am trying to spider the site so as to get static, non-Wordpress, pages. I am having trouble doing this. When I spider the site, it changes the URLs. For instance, if the URL is www.domain.com/page/ the URL I get out of the spider is /page/index.html And those are not the URLs in the search engine indices. There are about 2000 pages on this site, so it is not feasible to set up 301 redirects. I tried using these spidering programs: WinHTTack Website Copier and PageNest Does anyone know of another method of turning a Wordpress site into a non Wordpress site?

Basic Multi-Site Question
Newb question. We run a site in multiple cities under the same domain. Often times one city will provide content that is "syndicated" to other cites. For example, here is the master post: http://www.styleblueprint.com/food-and-entertaining/kale-salad-quick-healthy/ The content will also show up in the following domains: http://atlanta.styleblueprint.com/food-and-entertaining/kale-salad-quick-healthy/ http://birmingham.styleblueprint.com/food-and-entertaining/recipes/kale-salad-quick-healthy/ Should I be marketing the posts in Atlanta and Birmingham as "no index, no follow" for SEO purposes? Thanks in advance, Jay
