Hashtag in url seems to remove the google plus one
-
My site has a catalogue page (catalog in US) with #anchors so that customers can get straight to them.
I even link from other pages to the #anchor on the catalogue page.
so I have for example:
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#blueitems
www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#redtems
I understand google doesn't index after the #, here is the post I found: http://moz.com/community/q/hashtag-anchor-text-within-content#reply_91192
So I shouldn't have an seo problem.
BUT, if I navigate to www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm and plusone the page it will show the plusone and then I navigate to www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#blueitems the plus one is gone. The same happens in reverse, if i plusone www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm#redtems, then that plusone doesn't show in www.example.co.uk/catalogue.htm.
I added rel=canonical and that fixed the plusone problem, now if you plus one /catalogue.htm#redtems it still shows on catalogue.htm
This seems a bit extreme and did I do the right things??
-
Looks like it's good. I have the same problem with Facebook, so I added the url in the FB embed code but Google does it automatically.
You're fine :).

Looks good to me, you used rel=canonical for the right purpose. Good job.

Removing a site from Google index with no index met tags
Hi there! I wanted to remove a duplicated site from the google index. I've read that you can do this by removing the URL from Google Search console and, although I can't find it in Google Search console, Google keeps on showing the site on SERPs. So I wanted to add a "no index" meta tag to the code of the site however I've only found out how to do this for individual pages, can you do the same for a entire site? How can I do it? Thank you for your help in advance! L

Google rejected my reconsideration request of unnatural link manual action, and list one blog article twice as example?
Hi Moz Community, On April 22 my site received a manual action in Google Webmaster telling me it's caused by unnatural links. After some a deep cleaning of all the sitewide links, which I think is the major problem of my external links, I requested a reconsideration request on May 4. And Google rejected my reconsideration request of unnatural link manual action on May 29, and list one blog article twice as example, which is quite weird to me. Is it normal for Google to list one URL twice as example in the feedback? I don't quite see the reason for that. Does anybody have any idea about that? This is really quite frustrating to me. And to be honest, I don't see much problems about the article Google listed as well. Yeah it's all about our product and it has 3 do-follow links to our site. But it contains no words such as sponsor, advertisement, or rewards... And the blog itself is quite healthy as well. The post also get rather high engagement, with organic comments and shares. How did Google flag that out? I don't think it's possible that Google will go into all our site links one by one... Hope you guys can help me with that. Thanks in advance! Ben

Google is not indexing my new URL structure. Why not?
Hi all, We launched a new website for a customer on April 29th. That same day we resubmitted the new sitemap & asked Google to fetch the new website. Screenshot is attached of this (GWT Indexed). However, when I look at Google Index (see attachment - Google Index), Automated Production's old website URL's still appear. It's been two weeks. Is it normal for Google's index to take this long to update? Thanks for your help. Cole VoLPjhy vfxVUsO

Google Plus One button and https migration
I have a site that has gotten quite a few google +1's. I am currently migrating to https for the site and it seems I will lose all the +1's? Per the documentation it seems I can set the URL to the normal http://, but that would then allow ppl to continue +'ing the old url. Is there a way around this? Thanks!

Can You Use More Then One Google Local Rich Snippet on a single site/ on a single page.
I am currently working on a website for a business that has multiple office locations. As I am trying to target all four locations I was wondering if it is okay to have more then one Local Rich Snippet on a single page. (For example they list all four locations and addresses within their footer and I was wondering if I could make these local rich snippets). What about having more then one on a single website. For example if a company has multiple offices located in several different cities and have set up individual contact pages for these cities, can each page have it's own Local Rich Snippet? Will Google look at these multiple "local rich snippets" as spaming or will they recognize the multiple locations and count it towards their local seo?

Is all in one seo getting rid of my google authorship?
is all in one seo getting rid of my google authorship? I had it before and after installing All in One it is not coming up anymore. I have nothing in the google plus field of the main All in one settings, and I have it inserted in my user->your profile. When I view page source it is there.

It is correct in the tester but not in Google. Please help!!!

How to handle URL's from removed products?
Hi All, I have a question about a fashion related webshop. Every month about 100 articles are removed and about the some amouth is added to the site. Most of the products are indexed on brandname and type (e.g. MyBrand t-shirt blue) My question is what to do with the URL / page after the product is removed. I'm thinking about a couple of solutions: 301 the page to the brand categorie page build a script which shows related articles on the old URL (and try to keep it indexed) 404 page optimized for search term with links to brand category any other suggestons? Thanks in advance, Sam
