Is that a problem for indexing?
-
Hi all, I have an issue driving me crazy thant I think it could be impacting in the SERPs. My site has a spanish version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp" and an english version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/en". These two "pages" in the CMS ("inicio" and "home") have the same title and the same description tag (in spanish) as the plugin ALL in one SEO only allows me to write one unique title and description for the home page via GENERAL OPTIONS (there's an option for "home title" and for "home description").. If a try to assign a title and a description individually for each page it doesn't work (I can't see the titles and description in the source code" of those pages. On the other hand, there's another page that is http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/?attachment_id= which I can't locate in the CMS within pages section. This page has the same tittle and description as well. Could anyone give me a solution?
Thanks.

ok Thanks for your answer!

Well, I'm not sure since I'm not familiar with that plugin, try it's documentation or just googling it.
A quick search shows relevant results, even a thread by the plugin's author referring to the issue with the title and the other plugin you are using, but I guess it would be a lot better to create an actual page, at least for your index.

thanks. Yes Branagan I'm generating the english site with the wpml plugin. How could I set the title and the description without de ALL in SEO plugin? Accessing the code itself? I mean, in the header.php file? But this one is common to the entire wp site isn't it? I tried to do it individually with the SEO plugin but it didn't wordk.
Thanks for answering.

You should be able to set different titles and descriptions as they are different pages, or are you generating the English page with some kind of automatic translation or plugin?
Try to set the titles directly from WordPress instead of the ALL in one SEO plugin and see if that works.
Concerning the ?attachment_id= page, it shows an empty page with the blog title.
This is generated by WP when you link an attachment (an image for example), one solution would be to make sure none of your attachments are linking to it's attachment page or just not linking at all. Another could be to upload an empty file named 'attachment.php' to your WP root directory with a noindex tag and/or redirect it to your home page.Here's another solution you could try: http://www.lancelhoff.com/wordpress-disable-image-attachment-page-links/
See if it works.

Best practice to have gated white paper indexed by Google
Our main website white paper page has an image and brief description of the white paper. Once you click the white paper you are redirected to a form to access the gated white paper. Once you complete that form you are redirected to the white paper pdf which is housed on a subdomain/Hubspot. Because of this, I do not believe our website is getting "credit" for the keywords/content on these pages. Any suggestions on how we can allow the search engines to crawl this content while still keeping it gated? As I understand it a sub domain cannot hep or hurt (aside from critical crawler issues) the main domain. Thank you

How long does it take Google to index new title tags and meta descriptions?
Hi, I have launched a website ( www.bookkeepingking.com )and would like Google to reflect the latest title tag changes in its results. How long does it typically take to happen? I believe this might be one reason why the site may not be generating any search traffic yet, even though I haven't yet begun any link building yet. A couple of notes: When I enter site:bookkeepingking.com in the search box, the pages show up, but with the old/default title and meta descriptions. I am using the Yoast for SEO plugin I have resubmitted the XML map - Yoast created 2... /page-sitemap.xml and /post-sitemap.xml The changes were made about 1 week ago. WMT says that there are zero errors. Is there something I may have missed? Or do I just need to give it more time? Thanks in advance for your help. Erin

Prevent indexing of dynamic content
Hi folks! I discovered bit of an issue with a client's site. Primarily, the site consists of static html pages, however, within one page (a car photo gallery), a line of php coding: dynamically generates a 100 or so pages comprising the photo gallery - all with the same page title and meta description. The photo gallery script resides in the /gallery folder, which I attempted to block via robots.txt - to no avail. My next step will be to include a: within the head section of the html page, but I am wondering if this will stop the bots dead in their tracks or will they still be able to pick-up on the pages generated by the call to the php script residing a bit further down on the page?
