Hybrid page showing in Google search results
-
Hello Mozzers
We have two pages showing on page 1 of Google for the search term 'inset day sessions'
This url is the correct page which we want site visitors to see.
http://www.laughology.co.uk/teacher-workshop-s-inset-days/inset-days
The other page page seems to be a strange hybrid of how the page used to look and the new content we have included. It's a mess and we don't want visitors clicking on this link. There is no menu link to this page on the site, but it is showing as a link In SH404sef
http://www.laughology.co.uk/schools/teacher-workshop-s-inset-days/
What is the best way to deal with this?
Thanks
Ian

Gotcha. I suspected. BuiltWith didn't pick up Joomla, yet I saw some tell tale Joomla code in there.
Here is an article I think you'll find useful. It's extensive and a well done article on sussing out duplicate URL's in Joomla. http://joomlaseo.com/checklist/avoid-duplicate-url-s. It's the best I've found.

HI Joey,
Thanks for the response. We are using Joomla 3 as a CMS and SH404SHF to control URLS.
It looks like on the hybrid page the menu is set-up as a category blog and is displaying all articles in that category. But there is no menu link for that page.
Hope that helps.
Ian

Hi Ian. Can you share some info on your setup? What CMS are you using to manage the site, if any?

Sitelinks only show when the URL is searched- Why don't they show when our company name is searched?
Why is is that when I search "protonmail.ch", sitelinks show for our company. However when you search for "ProtonMail", no sitelinks show, even though our homepage is now on the top result. We've been trying different things to improve the navigational structure of the homepage, such as using the <nav>tag. If you have any thoughts on why sitelinks might not be showing up, we'd really appreciate it! Thank you </nav>

Why has google stopped showing one domain and switching to showing another that points to the same website?
My client has a website here: http://www.savannahchiropractic.com/ The site ranked really well for searches for the term "savannah chiroprtactor". Sometime last week (April 21 mobilegeddon?) the site slipped in rankings, but reappeared under the domain name: "www.whitemarshchiropractic.com" Both URLs go to the exact same site. and I don't even think that the whitemarshchripractic.com site is a redirect. I'm not sure how it's setup, but it's definitely not a duplicate site. The ranking is still lower than the savannahchiropractic.com site, but now appears. Anyone have any insights on this?

Google Dropping Pages After SEO Clean Up
I have been using SEOmoz to clear errors from a site. There
Technical SEO | | Andy56
were over 10,000 errors to start with. Most of these were duplicate content, duplicate titles and too many links on a page. Most of the duplicate errors have now been
cleared. This has been done in two weeks (down to around 3000 errors now). But instead of improving my rankings, pages that were on the second page of Google have started to drop out of the listings altogether. The pages that are dropping out
are not related to the duplicate problems and get A grades when I run SEOmoz
page reports. Can you clean up too much too quickly or is there likely to be another reason for it?0 -

Why isn't Google pushing my Schema data to the search results page
I believe we have it set up right. I'm noticing all my competitors schema data is showing up which is really giving them a leg up on us. We have a high ranking website so I'm just not sure why it's now showing up. Here is an example URL http://www.airgundepot.com/3576w.html I've used the Google webmaster tools tester and it all looks fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
