Changing URL of posts
-
HI,
I need to change the urls and permalink structure of my blogposts.
How I have to deal all this with google? Do I have to re-submit the pages to google with fetch as google?
Will google display duplicate content of the same article ( having changed the url) or will it automatically replace the old url with the new ones?
Tx for your support guys!
-
OK tx so much!
-
Yes wordpress should do that, it wouldn't hurt to update the urls if you can though
-
OK tx so much.
Also, what happens to the old url i posted on facebook or on the web? do they weill be automatically redirected to the new urls?
-
If your planning on creating new pages (not renaming old) this plugin will help -
-
Go to settings > Permalink > Select what you want.
WordPress will do all the hard work for you and Google will re-crawl your site (this can take time depending on the popularity of your site).
Hope that helps

I have wordpress, so I dont need to anything aprat changing the url? google will reflect the changes without dealing with 301 redirects?

Hi there,
It also depends on your software if your using word press you can change urls and it would change overtime.
If its different DragonSearch gave some excellent advice to 301 to a new URL. You would not need to tell Google or do Fetch as Google as when it next crawls it would detect the change. If you want to speed up the process you can post the new url into say Google plus etc.
Good luck!

Hi there!
You will need to implement 301 redirects to the new URLs that you are creating. This tells the search engines that the blog post is being permanently redirected to your new URLs. If 301 redirects are not implemented two things can happen:
1. If you kill the old page you will have a whole mess of 404 errors and the authority they old pages built up would be lost and not transferred to the new domains.
2. If you simply create copies of the blog post and do not redirect you will have a lot of duplicate content issues to deal with.
I hope this helps! ^Caitlin

URL has caps, but canonical does not. Now what?
Hi, Just started working with a site that has the occasional url with a capital, but then the url in the canonical as lower case. Neither, when entered in a browser, resolves to the other. It's a Shopify site. What do you think I should do?

Changing URIs
About 2 months ago, my client changed its domain—using 301 redirect—and took the hit in search results. Here's my question: If I convince the client to revert to their old URI, will that help or hurt their SEO? Follow-up, can it hurt to change interior URIs to something that better reflects the page content? Thanks.

Why put rel=canonical to the same url ?
Hi all. I've heard that it's good to put the link rel canonical in your header even when there is no other important or prefered version of that url. If you take a look at moz.com and see the code, you'll see that they put the <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="http://moz.com" /> ... pointing at the same url ! But if you go to http://moz.com/products/pricing for example, they have no canonical there ! WHY ? Thanks in advance !

Dynamically changing a title with javascript
Hi, I asked our IT team to be able to write custom page titles in our CMS and they came up with a solution that writes the title dynamically with javascript. When I look on the page, I see the title in the browser, but when I look in the source code, I see the original page title. I am thinking that Google won't see the new javascript title, so it will not be indexed and have no impact on SEO. Am I right ?
