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.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Google Is Ranking the Wrong Page
Howdy Folks- I have a case where Google is ranking the wrong page for a couple of different keywords. The home page is: http://healthtn.com Most notably, we're trying to optimize the home page for "Tennessee Health Insurance" but the below page is what continually ranks for it, and does so very poorly. We used to be page two with the home page, now we are page four and it ranks the following page. http://healthtn.com/tennessee/health-insurance/student I have started directing our Internal Linking to reflect the correct anchor text but succeeded in losing ranking for the term, but am still ranking the wrong page. Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!

Why don't all my pages have On Page Optimization Reports
Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. I have 35 pages, yet only 5 of them have generated On Page Optimization Reports. I know I can create them manually, but wondered if I've done something incorrectly? Iain.

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

Can I have a strong brand category page and a strong product page?
It seems Google base and other Comparison Shopping Engines like to see the brand in the product name. But, on my category page for that brand, website optimizer tells me including the brand name with each product is cannabilizes links. For example; I have a page for jewelerABC with 20 pieces of jewelry listed as well as original content about jewelerABC. I do not currently name these products as xyz by jewelerABC. This page comes up nicely in the serps. But in Google base The top listings for jewelry by jewelerABC seem to have every product named xyz by jewelerABC or JewelerABC xyzs. What is the best way to optimize.for both? Stephen

Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
Is it bad to change the canonical URL in the tag, meaning does it lose it's stats? If we add a new page that may have duplicate content, but we want that page to be indexed over the older pages, should we just change the canonical page or redirect from the original canonical page? Thanks so much! -Amy
