Responsive text?
-
Hello guys, thats in advance for any advice that you can give me, i have a issue about the responsive content.
The content (product title) that fits on 1024px screen, but doesn't fit at 768 / 600 so I want to know if is possible to show a small (modify) version of that title with doing a cloaking o similar
Ex:
Title at 1024:
Brand New Xbox One 500 GB Black ConsoleTitle at 768 / 600px
Xbox One 500 GB Black ConsoleAny advice?
Thanks!

It can be done in a many ways. With Bootstrap it could be done these ways:
Long detailed Title with many words
Short Title with few words
or
Long detailed Title with many words
Short Title with few wordsOr if you are coding it yourself, then create similar class names and in your CSS file define at what screen widths they are declared visibilty:visible; or visibility:hidden; - This is not cloaking, there is always a version of the text visible to the user.

I know, but i´m talking about changing the the phrase, not the size,

Hi Rafael,
In a responsive design you can definitely change any font size you want for different device widths, even h1 text.
You just give the h1 a class, or put it in a div with a unique class. Then in the CSS file you can use media queries to change anything like this... font-size:12px; line-height:16px; color:red;
I do it often to put my h1, h2, h3 tags anywhere I want on the page and make them any size or style I want without messing up the look of the page.

complete site to responsive, I saw your site but H1 don´t change only resize the divs.
Thanks for the answer

Nice job covering both approaches, Gregory! I found this helpful as well.

Are you converting a site to responsive, or just trying to hack a few things on a fixed with site?
If you are really making the page responsive, then I suggest using one of the pre-designed responsive site systems. I use Twitter Bootstrap. It's free and very easy to learn, even for a non-programmer. With Bootstrap your problem would be solved either by using a single title and changing the font-size for different device widths, or by presenting different versions of the title on different device widths. Like this...
Brand New Xbox One 500 GB Black Console
Xbox One 500 GB Black Console
In Bootstrap the class "hidden-desktop" actually means it is only visible on devices that are NOT desktops - which are tablets and phones. They tell you which screen width ranges are considered to be which device type. You can go to my site on a PC and pull the screen width across from wide to narrow to see how a Bootstrap site reacts to varying screen widths.
If you are just trying to hack a few repairs, you will need to do it in the CSS file with "media queries". Not too hard, but takes a little learning and experimentation to figure out. Your page HTML will need to have a "class" or "id" added to any element you want to adjust with the CSS.

How can I identify links that point to a specific landing page with a specific anchor text on my own website?
I am trying to identify buttons and links that point to a specific landing page on our website that have a certain word in the anchor text and I would like to know the referring page URL too. Does anybody have an idea on how to do this? We have above a hundred landing pages and I would rather not go through them one by one 😄 Thanks for the help

Responsive Content
At the moment we are thinking about switching to another CMS. We are discussing the use of responsive content.Our developer states that the technique uses hidden content. That is sort of cloaking. At the moment I'm searching for good information or tests with this technique but I can't find anything solid. Do you have some experience with responsive content and is it cloaking? Referring to good articles is also a plus. Looking forward to your answers!

Pitfalls when implementing the “VARY User-Agent” server response
We serve up different desktop/mobile optimized html on the same URL, based on a visitor’s device type. While Google continue to recommend the HTTP Vary: User-Agent header for mobile specific versions of the page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6qtaiZRHg), we’re also aware of issues raised around CDN caching; http://searchengineland.com/mobile-site-configuration-the-varies-header-for-enterprise-seo-163004 / http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2249533/How-Googles-Mobile-Best-Practices-Can-Slow-Your-Site-Down / http://orcaman.blogspot.com/2013/08/cdn-caching-problems-vary-user-agent.html As this is primarily for Google's benefit, it's been proposed that we only returning the Vary: User-Agent header when a Google user agent is detected (Googlebot/MobileBot/AdBot). So here's the thing: as the server header response is not “content” per se I think this could be an okay solution, though wanted to throw it out there to the esteemed Moz community and get some additional feedback. You guys see any issues/problems with implementing this solution? Cheers! linklater

Do Internal Link Anchor Text Count Towards Overall Ratio?
I have a few pages that have dropped in rankings recently. I suspect it is because of the ratio of the anchor text. For example, you have 20 links pointing to page site.com/mens-jeans.html, and 15 have the anchor text "mens jeans". If I am looking to dilute the exact match anchor text, will the internal links count? Thanks

Where's all the text?
Hi, We recently (yesterday) had a developer make a new site for us on Wix http://www.appointeddhq.com/ as the one we were planning to put up had a few teething issues (the beackend booking system wasn't ready and we needed something up immediately for a TV show we were being featured in). Having now had the chance to look through it, I'm not quite sure what's going on. None of the text appears to be there on any page, I can't find any of the descriptions we gave the developer, the alt tags behind pictures (and even the pics themselves) don't appear to be there, the URLs are messed up, titles are incorrect and there are no title tags to be found. Am I misunderstanding or is the whole site built in java? Obviously, this is quite a huge issue and I'll want to get it sorted immediately, but I thought it best to see what the good folks here though. Thanks!

Anchor Text Usage
Hi, I have used anchor text more heavily. I built over 80 links so far, all are quality links like press releases & social bookmarks. I used to be ranking on #7 page for my keywords, then all of sudden i am not even on 50th page. Is this is because of Anchor text usage? Now should i remove those links or dilute my anchor texts by getting more links with different anchor texts. This is because the keyword i am targetting is pretty tough. So i think 80 links is not good enough. Let me know your thoughts. Here is the screenshot of the links i got so far which i think valuable. And the rest are social bookmarks. http://screencast.com/t/TJiDOanxnfZ

Anchor Text Diversification – Branded VS Non Branded – What is the best approach… if any?
Our organization competes in the Drug & Alcohol Treatment Category… very competitively I must say. While we create content for long-tail keywords, we focus on linking (blogging + Press Release + Acquisition, etc…) as the main strategy to increase relevancy for 4 major keywords. (Alcohol Rehab, Drug Rehab, Alcohol Treatment, and Drug Treatment)… all these terms have their respective landing pages, and we try to provide a good flow of new links coming to these pages on a weekly basis… Lately we have been acquiring more links than we anticipated… not a bad thing since they are from reputable websites… however I am a bit concern regarding the Anchor Text distribution of these links. Example Let’s say I get 100 links to my ‘Alcohol Rehab’ page – what is an appropriate percentage for the anchor text distribution? For example: Branded Links 20 - Keyword: St Jude Retreats
