Has Anyone Noticed Q&A has sped up a LOT?
-
A while back when things had really gotten over slow, I asked the opposite. Today I go on Q&A and the feel is quite a bit different. I also notice other cool little changes.
I am wondering if moz did it just for me or is everyone seeing it???
As usual, steady improvement from the folks at SEOmoz. You guys are on.
Thanks
PS (For any who require uber speed, yes it takes about a second and a half for the response to load... I can live with that).

Now William,
I hope you understand it was my effort to follow the question about 10 days before: Has anyone noticed how SLOOOOOW Q&A is or is it me...? (Rough approximation).
Just felt like if I was going to point out the negative I had to point out the improvement. But, hey, now that its back to rocking, I'm smiling too!!

Jaime, the formatting for numbered lists seems to be off as well - not indenting. Haven't checked unordered lists to see if they have the same problem.
Nice overall improvements!

I LOL'd at this question.
-
I concur. Seems much faster--but I noticed the text in the input fieldbox is much smaller than usual. Could just be me though...
-
Just seen the new "questions I've answered" section and that looks brilliant - such a good idea to include a snippet of your answer!
-
Yeah, they did a great job that's for sure. Joram has the link for the thread.
Wonder whether now it takes a bit longer to load up the response section, that's the reason for the improvement? Were all the threads loading the response section on load, rather by on request when you click it (as now?). With hundreds of threads a day, that's a lot of queries.
Look at me, pretending to know what I'm yapping about!

yea it's fantastic. good work guys! why does my font look different when i type now though?

Hi Robert,
Yes, it has gotten much faster! The guys at SEOmoz made some improvements (http://www.seomoz.org/q/q-a-performance-improvements) that seem to have worked out well.

i tried to log on early this morning and it was down for quite a while. Now it's back up it's definitely quicker! Oh Joy!

Duplicate Content & Tags
I've recently added tags to my blog posts so that related blog posts are suggested to visitors. My understanding was that my robot.txt was handling duplicate content so thought it wouldn't be an issue but after Moz crawled by site this week is reported 56 issues of duplicate content in my blog. I'm using Shopify, so I can edit the robot.txt file but is my understanding correct that if there are 2 or more tags then they will be ignored? I've searched the Shopify documents and forum and can't find a straight answer. My understanding of SEO is fairly limited. Disallow: /blogs/+

Blockquote, q, cite, when to use it all?
I'm asking this question with the full recognition that the issue may be a little contentious and possibly unresolved, but I would like the opinions of those here anyway. When I quote another article in mine I always use either blockquote or q. (q is an inline version of blockquote). But I recently learned you can add a cite attribution to those tags. Like so: I have a dream... or

<q cite="www.example.com">He who doesn't ask himself...</q> But these links don't show up anywhere, only in the code. To be as ethical as possible, I also put in an anchor link. That also is my first concern. Can putting the same link twice essentially right next to one another cause issues? To add to the complexity, I've also been researching the <cite>tag. And it's history is a little... well... rocky. It seems as though the current standard is to use either blockquote or q and then add in cite as a footer to it. Like this:</cite> They seemed to think that the greatness of their masters was transferable to themselves. It was considered as being bad enough to be a slave; but to be a poor man's slave was deemed a disgrace indeed! <footer>Douglass, F. (1999). <cite>[The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass]([link to book (or article where appropriate)])</cite>. Oxford: Oxford University Press,</footer> Notice the cite tag is only around the link to the item in question. Not the entire footer. Also note that the footer is inside the blockquote, thus it is not meant to be at the bottom of the page. So IF this is the standard way to do things, it answers my first question. But is it? And can the use of the footer tag confuse search engines? Ugh, crazy all over the place question, I know. But I'm struggling to find the right way to handle quotations in a way that is both academic, and SEO friendly. Start from the beginning if you must. 🙂1 -

Does anyone use rss feeds to attract more visitors
Hi, i am wondering if anyone uses rss feeds to bring visitors to their site. My site is www.in2town.co.uk and i am not sure if it would be worthwhile in using rss feeds to bring visitors to my site. I must admit i have never subscribed to any rss feeds so this has got me thinking, do many people subscribe to them these days.

301 Redirect & Duplicate Content
We currently have 16465 audiobook products presented at our Web store. 5411 of them are out-of-publication (OOP). Here's an example: Harry Potter Audiobook 2 : Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - J.K. Rowling - cassette audiobook Many of the 5411 OOP products are duplicates and triplicates of one title but were offered on a different medium (cassette, CD or MP3 CD) or were a different type (abridged, unabridged, dramatized). The description (story-line) is the same for all. Because we know once a page gets on the Internet, it can live there for years, we decided to keep OOP product pages at our Web store to: Let those who may have searched for the product and clicked on a link to an OOP product's page that it was no longer available. Invite them to explore our Web store. Let them know that although the product may not be available on cassette, CD or MP3 CD, that it might be available as a digital download. We know that Google does NOT like duplicate content from one site to another and even within the same site. If we redirect all the 5411 pages to one OOP page, will this eliminate this duplicate content issue? The OOP page would explain that the title they were looking for is no longer available but that it might be available as a digital download.

What plugins & tactics are you using for Wordpress meta SEO?
Currently I use All-In-One SEO and I quite like how simple it is to setup and it's stable. Is that still one of the best ones? What are you using these days? Is it worth stripping out the superfluous meta tags that Wordpress now puts in? Is there any value to adding meta descriptions to all my Tag pages and if so, is there a good plugin that will auto magically create unique descriptions for these pages? Same goes for my paginated archives. Thanks!
