Has anyone experienced any negative experiences using a JS onload event to show a particular tab opened to organic visitors vs front door traffic?

Any other thoughts on the subject are indeed appreciated.

What is the purpose of this? Do you have all your content on 'one page' but the 'tabs' just say what is the current 'page'?

My feeling is that if your home page is

www.example.com

and you're showing organic search visitors different content than those who put in www.example.com then you are misleading search engines and visitors and you need to not do that.

You will be better setting up separate pages with each well targeted to different keywords/terms instead. Using JS to present different content is not a good idea.

How safe is it to use a meta-refresh to hide the referrer?

Hi guys, So I have a review site and I'm affiliated with several partnership programs whose products I advertise on my site. I don't want these affiliate programs to see the source of my traffic (my site), so I'm looking for a safe solution to hide the referrer URL. I have recently added a rel="noreferrer" tag to all my affiliate links, but this method isn't perfect as not all browsers respect that rule. After doing some research and checking my competitors I noticed that some of them use meta-refresh, which seems more reliable in this regard. So, how safe is it to use meta-refresh as means of hiding referrer URL? I'm worrying that implementing a meta-refresh redirect might negatively affect my SEO. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to hide the referrer URL without damaging SEO? Thank you.

Rebranded Website Uses a Forward Slash /at End of URS-Is This Considered a Redirect?

Our website was rebranded and relaunched. The old site did not use a / at the end of the URL. The site uses a forward slash at the end of the URL. My developer claims that this makes no difference, that in Google's eyes this is meaningless. My concern is that link juice will be lost because this necessitates a redirect. Links that were developed in the last few months now are redirected to the identical domain, but with a backslash at the end. Is this something to be concerned about or is it meaningless? Thanks,

How do I Enable Rich Snippets for an Events Page that is updated weekly?

Hello Moz World! I have a client that has an events page that they update every week. They conduct weekly demos with current customers and potential customers for their software. They post dates, times and topics for each demo. I'd like to enable event rich snippets for their website (see attached image for an example), but I am unsure exactly how to do that. A) Do I just need to setup Event Schema Tags? Does it need to be updated manually every week? Is their a software solution? Thanks ahead of time for all the great responses! Cheers Will H. 8Wsh3l8

Using the same picture, but 2 differents pages and Alt descriptions

Hi Moz experts, I have a quick technical question for you. If we would like to use the same picture on the website, but using differ Alt description and also, be sure to customize it to make sure, it will not look like the other. This strategy is for saving cost on new picture. Do you think google will see this as iidentical content ? Thank you for your hands up on this question.

Using Canonical Attribute

Hi All, I am hoping you can help me? We have recently migrated to the Umbraco CMS and now have duplicate versions of the same page showing on different URLs. My understanding is that this is one of the major reasons for the rel=canonical tag. So am I right in saying that if I add the following to the page that I want to rank then this will work? I'm just a little worried as I have read some horror stories of people implementing this attribute incorrectly and getting into trouble. Thank you in advance

Using the right Schema.org - & is there a penalty in using the wrong one?

Hi We have a set of reviewed products (in this case restaurants) that total an average rating of 4.0/5.0 from 800 odd reviews. We know to use schema/restaurant for individual restaurants we promote but what about for a list of cities, say restaurants in boston for example. For the product page containing all of Boston restaurants - should we use schema.org/restaurant (but its not 1 physical restaurant) or schema.org - product + agg review score? What do you do for your product listing pages? If we get it wrong, is there a penalty? Or this just simply up to us?

Lowercase Company Name - Impact on Rankings?

A company who spells their name in all lower case, uses their name spelled exactly this way in titles & meta descriptions & throughout all of their site's content pages - will it affect rankings (particularly since the company name isn't a recognised word)? For example, let's say the company is called "twintrest" Which <title>would be better: <ul> <li>A) Twintrest - It's Like a Twitter & Pinterest Cocktail or</li> <li>B) twintrest - It's Like a Twitter & Pinterest Cocktail</li> </ul> I am leaning towards "A" because the crawler would recognise "Twintrest" at least as a noun, where as in B it could be misconstrued as a spelling mistake. Also, in content it would need to be italicised right? So both these would be ok: <ul> <li>You should use Twintrest because it rocks. or</li> <li>You should use twintrest because it rocks.</li> </ul> But not: <ul> <li>You should use twintrest because it rocks.</li> </ul> Is it worth pointing out? I've noticed that jcpenny spell their name in lowercase and use this format in their meta tags, however, they are a well established brand. Is there any evidence to suggest that lowercase may even be advantageous since a lot of searches are carried out in lowercase?</title>
