      We are adding existing customer reviews to Product Detail Pages pages. There are about 300 reviews per product so we're going to have to paginate reviews off of the PDP page. I'm wondering what the best url structure for reviews pages is to get the most seo benefit.

      For example, would it be something like this?  site.com/category/product/reviews/page-1

      or something that used parameters, such as: site.com/reviews?product=a

      Also, what is the best way to show that the internal link on the PDP page to "All Reviews" is a higher priority link than the other links on the page?

          This is not a definitive response, but my approach has been to canonically relate each paginated review page to the product detail page. My rationale is that I get enough keyword relevance in the first 5 or 10 reviews which show up prior to pagination, to contribute effectively to the ranking of the product page.

          Some product review solutions add semantic markup for the reviews, and even though the reviews themselves are paginated, the whole set of reviews is included in the JSON table of reviews on the product page. So, in this case, if yours does this, it might already be getting all the content when it crawls the product page.

          I have not been a proponent of separately indexing the review pages themselves. I know there are proponents, and they might have solid arguments why to do that. I have preferred for my product page to get all the page relevance, inbound links, and visits.

            Looking to remove dates from URL permalink structure. What do you think of this idea?

            I know most people who remove dates from their URL structure usually do so and then setup a 301 redirect. I believe that's the right way to go about this typically. My biggest fear with doing a global 301 redirect implementation like that across an entire site is that I've seen cases where this has sort of shocked Google and the site took a hit in organic traffic pretty bad. Heres what I'm thinking a safer approach would be and I'd like to hear others thoughts. What if... Changed permalink structure moving forward to remove the date in future posts. All current URLs stay as is with their dates Moving forward we would go back and optimize past posts in waves (including proper 301 redirects and better URL structure). This way we avoid potentially shocking Google with a global change across all URLs. Do you know of a way this is possible with a large Wordpress website? Do you see any conplications that could come about in this process? I'd like to hear any other thoughts about this please. Thanks!

            Does rewriting a URL affect the page authority?

            Hi all, I recently optimized an overview page for a car rental website. Because the page didn’t rank very well, I rewrote the URL, putting the exact keyword combination in it. Then I asked Google to re-crawl the URL through Search Console. This afternoon, I checked Open Site Explorer and saw that the Page Authority had decreased to 1, while the subpages still have an authority of about 18-20. Hence my question: is rewriting a URL a bad idea for SEO? Thank you,
            Lise

            What is best practice for "Sorting" URLs to prevent indexing and for best link juice ?

            We are now introducing 5 links in all our category pages for different sorting options of category listings.
            The site has about 100.000 pages and with this change the number of URLs may go up to over 350.000 pages.
            Until now google is indexing well our site but I would like to prevent the "sorting URLS" leading to less complete crawling of our core pages, especially since we are planning further huge expansion of pages soon. Apart from blocking the paramter in the search console (which did not really work well for me in the past to prevent indexing) what do you suggest to minimize indexing of these URLs also taking into consideration link juice optimization? On a technical level the sorting is implemented in a way that the whole page is reloaded, for which may be better options as well.

            Image URLs - best practice

            Hi - I'm assuming image URL best practice follows same principles as non image URLs (not too many files and so on) - I notice alot of web devs putting photos in subdomains, so wonder if I'm missing something (I usually avoid subdomains like the plague)!

            Using Canonical URL to poin to an external page

            I was wondering if I can use a canonical URL that points to a page residing on external site? So a page like:
            www.site1.com/whatever.html will have a canonical link in its header to www.site2.com/whatever.html. Thanks.

            Best way to implement canonical tags on an ecommerce site with many filter options?

            What would be the best way to add canonical tags to an ecommerce site with many filter options, for example, http://teacherexpress.scholastic.com? Should I include a canonical tag for all filter options under a category even though the pages don't have the same content? Thanks for reading!

            Best practice for removing indexed internal search pages from Google?

            Hi Mozzers I know that it’s best practice to block Google from indexing internal search pages, but what’s best practice when “the damage is done”? I have a project where a substantial part of our visitors and income lands on an internal search page, because Google has indexed them (about 3 %). I would like to block Google from indexing the search pages via the meta noindex,follow tag because: Google Guidelines: “Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don't add much value for users coming from search engines.” http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769 Bad user experience The search pages are (probably) stealing rankings from our real landing pages Webmaster Notification: “Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site” with links to our internal search results I want to use the meta tag to keep the link juice flowing. Do you recommend using the robots.txt instead? If yes, why? Should we just go dark on the internal search pages, or how shall we proceed with blocking them? I’m looking forward to your answer! Edit: Google have currently indexed several million of our internal search pages.
