Guys i need some urgent help here as we need to get this sorted out soon.

We have a page similar to wayfair shop the look: www.wayfair.com/Shop-The-Look/

What are the best practices for URL structure if we applies 2-3 filters? Is wayfair style good for SEO?

FYI: We create our crawlable, link friendly AJAX website using pushstate() but unsure of the structure for this case.

We followed http://moz.com/blog/create-crawlable-link-friendly-ajax-websites-using-pushstate advice.

Hi Edmond,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "2 - 3 filters" please? Do you mean something like choosing "bathroom" under "Space" and ending up with a URL like http://www.wayfair.com/Shop-The-Look/Bathroom/space?

Thanks,

Jane

Print Button Creating Duplicate PDF URLs set to NoIndex, OK for SEO?

Our real estate website has 400 listings. We have added a button that allows the visitor to print listing pages in the for.m of a PDF. The PDF exists as a URL ending in ?print=17076. This print URL is set to noindex and follow. So our site has 400 additional URLs. Is this a negative for SEO? Or neutral? I have read it using CSS it is possible to set up printing without creating all these extra URLs. Is this method better from an SEO perspective? Thanks, Alan

What Are Internal Linking Best Practices For Blogs?

We have a blog for our e-commerce site. We are posting about 4-5 blog posts a month, most of them 1500+ words. Within the content, we have around 10-20 links pointing out to other blog posts or products/categories on our site. Except for the products/categories, the links use non-optimized generic anchor text (i.e guide, sizing tips, planning resource). Are there any issues or problems as far as SEO with this practice? Thank You

Long product urls ecommerce store

Hi we have a site in the mens fashion space who have long product urls which look like this: https://www.domain.com/catalog/product/view/id/13700/s/the-mate-tee-grey-marle-upm618g/category/120/ The site is on Magento. Are there any serious SEO negatives of having such a long product url and including irrelevant information in the url like product/view/id/13700/s/ & /category/120/ in the URL. Or are the benefits of changing them to more URL friendly product urls like: https://www.domain.com/the-mate-tee-grey-marle-upm/ Minimal? Cheers.

Linking to other peoples you tube videos related to our "How to do " articles on our website. Is there Best practices ?

Hi All, We are currently writing some "How to do" articles on our tool hire website and as there is alot of DIY related you tube videos out there, we thought It would be good to link to some of these at the bottom of our articles. From an SEO perspective, is there any do's and don'ts with regards how we should implement this. We are unable to do our videos so linking to others would be our preferred option. Does anyone know if this would give an SEO ranking benefit even though it's an outbound link to someone's video etc. thanks Pete

Canonical URL & sitemap URL mismatch

Hi We're running a Magento store which doesn't have too much stock rotation. We've implemented a plugin that will allow us to give products custom canonical URLs (basically including the category slug, which is not possible through vanilla Magento). The sitemap feature doesn't pick up on these URLs, so we're submitting URLs to Google that are available and will serve content, but actually point to a longer URL via a canonical meta tag. The content is available at each URL and is near identical (all apart from the breadcrumbs) All instances of the page point to the same canonical URL We are using the longer URL in our internal architecture/link building to show this preference My questions are; Will this harm our visibility? Aside from editing the sitemap, are there any other signals we could give Google? Thanks

ECommerce product listed in multiple places, best SEO practice?

We have an eCommerce site we have built for a customer and the products are allowed to appear in more than one product category within the web site. Now I know this is a bad idea from a duplicate content point of view, But we are going to allow the customer to select which out of the multiple categories the product appears in will be the default category. This will mean we will have a way of defining what the default url is for a product. So am I correct in thinking all the other urls where the product appears we should add a rel canonical to these pages pointing to the default url to stop duplicate content? Is this the best way?

SEO - What Should We Do...

Hi Guys, Hope your all OK. Were having major problems with our homepage ranking for our main keyword - we were originally 4 but over the Christmas period our SEO company reported a fault with one of there servers that they were using for links, because of this fault these links were de-indexed from the search engine and in turn we have plummeted to 10th... At the time we had a landing page with an exact match keyword in it, e.g: www.ourdomainname.co.uk/key-word/ we were told to 301 this to our main page in Google but when we have looked today its now showing this page instead of our homepage. We also have another domain that we are using for a forum at the moment, now this domain name is an exact match doming e.g www.keyword.co.uk. The question is do we gamble and 301 our whole site to www.keyword.co.uk and see if we can get this ranking better? Thanks, Scott
