High pr doc files
-
I saw that the website www.comunicatedepresa.net outranks www.comunicatedepresa.ro for the therm "comunicate de presa" in google.ro SERP even though .ro beats .net in every seo indicator (links, domains linking, fb likes, g+, onpage etc)
I saw that site:www.comunicatedepresa.net returns a lot of *.doc files with a title that contains the kw ("comunicate de presa").
Ex:
www.comunicatedepresa.net/worddoc/1485/
It seems a little suspicios to me.Did anyone see this before (google giving higher importance to doc files)?
Does anyone know why .net site is ranking better?

I love these questions because they defy the laws of Google gravity! There are many "indicators" outside of the commonly discussed you find most often in these forums. You are on the right track in suspecting that Google takes the format of a site's content into consideration. If a site has relevant textual content along with a variety of downloadable .doc or .pdf files with relevant titles, preference may be swayed toward the site that seems to offer the most relevant information. Variety does matter, whether you're offering content that's supported by images, videos, outbound links, .doc documents, or .pdf documents, etc.
I also suspect that .net extension carries more weight than .ro, but there's no conclusive evidence that I can find.

Do I submit a sitemap for a highly dynamic site or not? If so, what's the best way to go about doing it?
I do SEO for online boutique marketplace. I've been here for about 4 weeks and no one's done there SEO (they've been around for about 5 years), so there's lots to do. A big concern is whether or not to submit a sitemap, and if I do submit one, what's the best way to go about doing one.

Search Console rejecting XML sitemap files as HTML files, despite them being XML
Hi Moz folks, We have launched an international site that uses subdirectories for regions and have had trouble getting pages outside of USA and Canada indexed. Google Search Console accounts have finally been verified, so we can submit the correct regional sitemap to the relevant search console account. However, when submitting non-USA and CA sitemap files (e.g. AU, NZ, UK), we are receiving a submission error that states, "Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page," despite them being .xml files, e.g. http://www.t2tea.com/en/au/sitemap1_en_AU.xml. Queries on this suggest it's a W3 Cache plugin problem, but we aren't using Wordpress; the site is running on Demandware. Can anyone guide us on why Google Search Console is rejecting these sitemap files? Page indexation is a real issue. Many thanks in advance!

How should I properly setup my .htaccess file?
I have searched google for 'how to setup .htaccess file' and it seems that every website has some variation. For example: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L] On SEOMOZ someone posted this: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301] On yet another website, I found this: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301] As you can see there are slight differences. Which one do I use? I'm on Apache CentOS and I have HTML5 websites and several Joomla! wesites. Would the HTACCESS File be different for both?
