FAQ and CTAs registering as indicidual pages.
-
Hi Everyone,
Looks like this is one for the pros. I haven't a clue personally. If anyone has had experience with this it'd be great.
Anyway, I have a problem with the way my FAQ page was built.
http://www.nationalpardon.org/faq/i-am-not-eligible-yet-when-should-i-start-the-process
Each individual question is showing up as a page.
http://www.nationalpardon.org/learning-center/faq-pardon/
The same issue is appearing for the CTA sections on my homepage and I'm wondering if maybe that is diluting my "juice" as they say.
To be honest I’m not sure if this is something Google would much care about. But Moz is telling me its bad. So I want to fix it.
Just hoping you’ve seen this before and have a suggestion that’s proven.

That's an odd way they set that up. I think you're are right though, you are better off just restructuring the content under one page to avoid duplicate content issues. If you have any external backlinks pointing to those individual question pages, make sure to set up a 301 redirect to your main page so not to lose any of those links.
Good luck

I'm using wordpress. It's just the way the guys built the pages. Instead of using a single wpml editor page to hold all the content they pulled the content from seperate wpml pages.
I'm looking at rebuilding the pages rather than a no index, so that all the content appears under one page / url .

This is odd, what CMS are you using? You could also throw a noindex tag on those pages if you want Google to ignore them.

Renamed a page and created a 301, page lost its rankings.
We changed a page name to fall under the root of our site from domain.com/page1/page301d/ to domain.com/page301d/ and after 2 weeks it still is not back to its #3 position. Now it is on the bottom of page 3. I cant figure out what im doing wrong here. The original .com/page1/ that this page fell under was removed totally and redirected to antoher page that was more relevant. I went ahead and re-enabled this page and its contnent, because the page was linking out to the page we 301d. This page we re-enabled had about 150 links poitning to it and therefore i was thinking that maybe the link juice from this page (or relevancy) via an internal link was helping it rank. This was updated about 6 days ago and the internal link is back Any other ideas why this might not be working. Ive checked all the 301s, content has not changed on the page. We have updated the strcuture for many pages. Instead of having the pages in question fall under anotehr page, they all fall under the root and its sub content is now only 2 levels deep , instead of being 3. hope that makese sense.

"Issue: Duplicate Page Content " in Crawl Diagnostics - but these pages are noindex
Saw an issue back in 2011 about this and I'm experiencing the same issue. http://moz.com/community/q/issue-duplicate-page-content-in-crawl-diagnostics-but-these-pages-are-noindex We have pages that are meta-tagged as no-everything for bots but are being reported as duplicate. Any suggestions on how to exclude them from the Moz bot?

Page architecture
We have some good content on our site, particularly relating to UK employment law. One section on unfair dismissal is split into 9 pages - there is a fair amount of legal detail. The question is whether we should combine it all into one "mother of all unfair dismissal" page just to satisfy the Google monster or keep in as it is. Some of the individual pages rank on page 1 already. If we change the architecture are 301 redirects the best way to handle the changing urls? The other more important issue is whether it is easier to read it all on one page or split it. Keeping G happy may not actually keep our users happy. As the content is quite dense we want to ensure we don't overload people. Any thoughts appreciated.

Web Page Refresh
Hi there, we redesign our Website, changing it for a jquery based version. This new design is much more usable and nice for our users, however the average page views for user decreased a lot. Basically this is due to the fact that once the user is logged in, it spends most of the time in the same Web form which is updated through jquery without refreshing it. We were thinking about adding a meta refresh tag, or ad some javascript for getting this task done in order to get the relation page views/visitor increased. Do you think refreshing the page every 4 minutes could be penalized by Google (or other Search engines) ? Which should be the interval between refresh ? Would it be better to make it very explicit (i.e. adding a meta refresh tag) or using a kind of hide javascript ? We want to increase the pageviews but of course, we don't want to get penalized
