Large number of pages crawled.
-
My campaign for printlabelandmail.com says that seomoz has crawled 619 pages. My site, however, only has a little over 250 pages. Where are these extra pages?
I did recently relaunched my website with wordpress. I was using Dreamweaver before.
I thought I deleted all the old pages. Could these extra pages be old pages from the site prior to my relaunch?
I hope my question makes sense. Any insights would be helpful.
Thanks! Andrea

As Takeshi noted, you've got a lot of pages like this:
http://printlabelandmail.com/home/answer-4-questions_06-2/ (look, you just earned a link. I don't do that for everyone.
I'm not certain if that is actual content, but it's likely not what you want in terms of user experience. I'd search for where those pages are being generated from and try to root out the cause.
Also, because you are using Wordpress, I highly recommend using Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin.

A site: search of your site shows over 800 pages indexed by Google. Take a look at the search results or Google Webmaster Tools to figure out where the extra pages are coming from:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aprintlabelandmail.com
If you are using Wordpress, the likely culprits are: category pages, tag pages, archive pages, and paginated pages.

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

We are switching our CMS local pages from a subdomain approach to a subfolder approach. What's the best way to handle this? Should we redirect every local subdomain page to its new subfolder page?
We are looking to create a new subfolder approach within our website versus our current subdomain approach. How should we go about handling this politely as to not lose everything we've worked on up to this point using the subdomain approach? Do we need to redirect every subdomain URL to the new subfolder page? Our current local pages subdomain set up: stores.websitename.com How we plan on adding our new local subfolder set-up: websitename.com/stores/state/city/storelocation Any and all help is appreciated.

Do search engines crawl links on 404 pages?
I'm currently in the process of redesigning my site's 404 page. I know there's all sorts of best practices from UX standpoint but what about search engines? Since these pages are roadblocks in the crawl process, I was wondering if there's a way to help the search engine continue its crawl. Does putting links to "recent posts" or something along those lines allow the bot to continue on its way or does the crawl stop at that point because the 404 HTTP status code is thrown in the header response?

Page URL keywords
Hello everybody, I've read that it's important to put your keywords at the front of your page title, meta tag etc, but my question is about the page url. Say my target keywords are exotic, soap, natural, and organic. Will placing the keywords further behind the URL address affect the SEO ranking? If that's the case what's the first n number of words Google considers? For example, www.splendidshop.com/gift-set-organic-soap vs www.splendidshop.com/organic-soap-gift-set Will the first be any less effective than the second one simply because the keywords are placed behind?

Embedded mobile page?
I have a client who wants a mobile version of their homepage. Normally, I use responsive design to accomplish this for the SEO benefit, but in this case the client wants very different information on the mobile home page than their regular home page. I don't want to go to a dedicated mobile version of the page because they get a fair amount of mobile traffic and so it would probably have a significant negative impact on their SEO to do so. So I was thinking I would add a hidden div to the home page which includes everything they want on the mobile home page and then use CSS to hide the regular content and show the hidden content if someone reaches the page from a smart phone. What do you think about this idea? Would I run afoul of Google's anti-cloaking "rules"? Has anyone done something like this before? Thanks!
