Should I use this Facebook comment content on my related blog post?
-
I have a blog post that ranks pretty high for the term "justin bieber tickets". We are running a ticket giveaway and have received tons of responses on Facebook and G+. The responses are often poorly written in they sense that they are from younger fans, but it is a bunch of related content that I thought could be a "good "addition of unique content to the post.
- Is this a good idea in general?
- Is it still a good idea if the comments are poorly written and contain lots of slang an exclamation points?
- Is it bad form to put people's Facebook comments live on the web, even though it is a public page.
- Here is the post
- Example of what this would look like in the post >http://cl.ly/1Q3N0t091V0w3m2r442G
- Source of comments >http://www.facebook.com/SeatGeek
Another less aggressive option would be to curate some of my favorite comments...
Thanks for any thoughts.

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond to this one.
I agree that the less aggressive option might be best here. I see that there area a ton of comments on that already. You have quite the community there! -
I think the less agressive option would be the way to go. Pull some good comments and use those.

Taking more than a day to index after the content changed
Hi everyone, As i got stuck with the confusion that - one of our website pages for the business located in Sharjah contents has been moderated and inspected the URL to google for index with new tags and contents. This is the URL which made the changes:Â https://www.socprollect-mea.com/sharjah-free-zone-company-registration/Â and As i came to know that our page reflecting an issue "Valid items with warnings" once after inspecting the URL in the search console. Something which seems interesting and never experienced before - which is showing: "Products"warning - something like that. I came to know that - Missing field "Brand" and showing no global identifier. Does anybody know what it is and can u able to rectify this concern and get me a solution to index our URL faster on Google search. please?

What to do with repetitive content
Hi, I recently took over a site from another SEO firm. They created lots of articles targeting the same terms. The articles aren't bad but I fear they could dilute the site's ranking power for a given term. I don't want to give away the specific industry, but let's say they have eight pages targeting the term "______ billing software." I'd rather focus their resources on ranking one page for that term. Does that make sense? And if so, how do I do that? The company has a writer that can see if any of the content is good enough to add to their primary ______ billing software page. Would you 301 redirect all these pages to the one you want to rank, or would you canonicalize them? Or am I way off base in my thinking?

Tags vs. Categories? What should I use?
I'm starting with a blog (self-hosted wordpress) and I'm thinking of the following content structure so that the readers are easily able to locate relevant content: Background: It's a blog which gives people relevant info about government jobs. To start with we will just be publishing information about these jobs but over a period of time also intend to post content that helps readers prepare for these jobs. In other words, right now it's just about detailed job notifications but in the coming months, we shall also post about preparation-related information. Typically, each of the job notifications can be bifurcated like: Jobs basis industry Banking Railways Clinical, etc. Jobs basis company ABC co. DEF co. XYZ co. etc. Jobs basis State / City City 1 City 2, etc. Jobs basis educational qualification Graduation Post-Graduation, etc. Now, I'm seriously confused how should I structure this data from the perspective of Categories & Tags such that it's reader as well as SEO-friendly. Do note that each of the government jobs post ideally falls in a couple of above mentioned categories. Thanks..

Duplicate Content when Using "visibility classes" in responsive design layouts? - a SEO-Problem?
I have text in the right column of my responsive layout which will show up below the the principal content on small devices. To do this I use visibility classes for DIVs. So I have a DIV with with a unique style text that is visible only on large screen sizes. I copied the same text into another div which shows only up only on small devices while the other div will be hidden in this moment. Technically I have the same text twice on my page. So this might be duplicate content detected as SPAM? I'm concerned because hidden text on page via expand-collapsable textblocks will be read by bots and in my case they will detect it twice?Does anybody have experiences on this issue?bestHolger

Blog content on homepage - Dupe Content Penalty?
Hi All, I am working on a website which has a blog at domain.com/blog/ On the homepage they are currently looping the latest 5 blog posts in a 'Latest News' tab. Is this therefore classed as dupe content, and would this be penalized by Google? Should I recommend they use the excerpts instead of full articles and simply loop the excerpts on the homepage? The website is built on WordPress. Thanks, Woody
