Exposure from backlinks for job posting URL. Will soon expire, how best to keep the backlink juice?

Hi All,

First post and apologies if this seems obvious.

I run a niche jobs board and recently one of our openings was shared online quite heavily after a press release. The exposure has been great but my problem is the URL generated for the job post will soon expire.

I was wondering the best way to keep the "link juice" as I can't extend the post indefinitely as the job has been filled. Would a 301 redirect work best in this case?

Thanks in advance for the info!

Changing Urls

Hi All, I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I ran a scan on a website and it has a stack of urls that are far too long. I am going through and changing the urls to shorter ones. But my question is regarding redirections. Wordpress seems to be automatically redirecting the old urls to the new ones, should i be adding a more solid 301 in as well or is the wordpress redirect enough? I ask as they dont all seem to stay redirecting Thanks in advance for the help

What to do with thin Job-Posts with little information?

Hi everyone, I'm currently doing some audit on an Seeking Job Ads site, and having some problems on what to do with ads that are imported from a "news paper" that have so little information to add. A regular ad has enough information to difference itself from another with the following data: Summary
Duties
Qualifications On the other hand, an imported ad from a news paper since it has little room for content, it may look like this: "Company N" looking for an engineer with 2 years of experience call us at: 923xxxxxx Since there is little information, i'm getting some trouble on moz crawling - duplicated content due to the lack of content which makes this kind of ads look way too similar. So I'm wondering what can I do with this kind of ads. Option 1: Adding No follow | No index
Option 2: Making a random mix of other related job ads Any help would be much appreaciated it. Joao.

Duplicate Content and URL Capitalization

I have multiple URLs that SEOMoz is reporting as duplicate content. The reason is that there are characters in the URL that may, or may not, be capitalized depending on user input. A couple examples are: www.househitz.com/Pennsylvania/Houses-for-sale www.househitz.com/Pennsylvania/houses-for-sale www.househitz.com/Pennsylvania/Houses-for-rent www.househitz.com/Pennsylvania/houses-for-rent There are currently thousands of instances of this on the site. Is this something I should spend effort to try and resolve (may not be minor effort), or should I just ignore it and move on?
