To fix the Title element from being to long, you'll want to edit your <title>tag in the header of your website. If you use Wordpress, you can try getting a plugin to help you manage this. Most people suggest either <strong>Yoast's WordPress SEO</strong> or <strong>All-in-One SEO</strong>. If you use Joomla to manage your website, I suggest <strong>TagsMeta</strong> for all your meta needs (supports canonical URLS too.) If your website is hard-coded from scratch, then just head on over to your Title tag and make sure it's under 70 characters.</p> <p><br />Duplicate Content. Make sure certain pages don't contain to much of the same content from other pages on your site (or other sites in general.) You can check for duplicate content in many ways.</p> <ol> <li>Grab a snippet of text on your site and do a quick Google search for it to see if your content exists on another website.</li> <li>Grab that same snippet and do a site:yourdomain.com "the copied text here" to see if you are getting multiple pages indexed with the same content</li> <li>Make sure you have a 301 redirect on your domain so the site is only accessible from www.yourdomain.com <strong>or</strong> yourdomain.com. Otherwise you may be getting the same page indexed because it's accessible from both yourdomain.com and WWW version of the page.</li> </ol> <p>Duplicate Page Title - fix that while updating your title tags, make sure all your title tags are targeting keywords specific for the page they are on, and make sure you use unique title tags as often as possible.</p> <p> </p></title>

Homepage De-Indexed - No Errors, No Warnings
Hi, I am currently working on this project. Sometime between March 7th & 8th homepage was de-indexed. The rest of the pages are there. Found it out through decreased traffic on GA. No notifications of any kind of penalty/errors recieved. Tried to manually re-index through "Fetch as Google" in WMT to no avail. Site is redirected to https. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Robots.txt & Mobile Site
Background - Our mobile site is on the same domain as our main site. We use a folder approach for our mobile site abc.com/m/home.html We are re-directing traffic to our mobile site vie device detection and re-direction exists for a handful of pages of our site ie most of our pages do not redirect the user to a mobile equivalent page. Issue – Our mobile pages are being indexed in desktop Google searches Input Required – How should we modify our robots.txt so that the desktop google index does not index our mobile pages/urls User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile Disallow: /m User-agent: `YahooSeeker/M1A1-R2D2` Disallow: /m User-agent: `MSNBOT_Mobile` Disallow: /m Many thanks

Shopping Carts & Sub Domains
I was hoping someone could guide me in making the correct decision regarding integrating my existing domain with a hosted shopping cart. I have an existing website to promote my bricks and mortar retail operation and am expanding into web retailing. I will be using one of the major hosted shopping carts. What is the best way to join the two components from an SEO perspective? Have the cart as a sub domain of my main site, or move my existing domain name to be hosted by the cart provider and have both components operate under the same general domain? I have read arguments that putting your cart within a sub domain is not a good idea because any clout of the pre-existing domain will not be shared with the sub domain; that they will be treated as two separate sites. I have also read that using a sub domain is a good idea being that the content focus of the main domain (marketing and blogs) is different form the focus of the sub domain (product sales), and that the two components would benefit form earning their own rankings undiluted by the other. And, I have also read that search engines are getting good at being able to deduce that an eCommerce sub domain is legitimate extension of a content intensive main domain, and that they treat the two components as a combined whole. What is the truth? Which is the better way to go? Any guidance would be appreciated.

search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx Am i right in saying you should really only bother with this if the site a newbie ie no history no link heritage and the site is enering cyberspace for the forst time. And i wonder if for example you launched a new site made sure the xml site map was in place and it had a few inbound links anyway it would be indexed anyway. So is the practice of submitting your url to search engined relevant anymore? Any insights welcome 🙂2 -
