Is there any correlation to time and search ranking?
-
Is there any evidence that google acknowledges the time that a site has been online with all other things being equal for search ranking?
-
Sorry my mis-understanding, you will need to do somthing about your 301 problem. you need to look into a .htaccess file

Hi Alan, your last response to my most recent post just lost me. Godaddy does not host my ste

Cant see any think happaning yet
if you are using Ineternet exporer, press F12
select the network tab
and start capture, now when you navigate you can see the response statsu codes -
Godadday does not host my site so if I redirect the mydomain.com to mydomain.ca through them I assume that this will take care of both the sub-domain and root domain between the .com and .ca domains but that I will be effectively removing the .com from my host server. Will this have any negative effect on my .ca? Also since godadday does not host the .ca can I do a 301 from mydomain.ca to www.mydomain.ca through them.
-
yes all of then to your chosen one.
-
Is it sufficient to redirect mydomain.ca to www.mydomain.ca or will I also need to redirect mydomain.com to mydomain.ca?
-
if you are with godaddy here are the instructions
http://help.godaddy.com/article/422?locale=en
Forward Only — Specifies the length of time for this forwarding setting. Select one of the following Redirect types:
- I am permanently forwarding my domain — Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a "301 Moved Permanently" HTTP response. The HTTP 301 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has permanently moved.

You have to do a 301 redirect, that important, what web site are we talking about, i was looking at the one under your name .com.
if you dont want to make it public you can personal message it

Hi Alan, I tried to address this by going to google webmaster tools and establishing the .ca as the preferred domain. I also added a canonical tag to identify the .ca as primary. Not sure if this is enough. My web host says that they do not do 301 redirects and after talking to godaddy.com about how it is set up they suggested leaving as is. I am concerned about google searches but less so with other search engines. As far as code goes I did a W3C html markup and noticed quite a number of tag issues but they all seemed to be with what I cannot access (part of how the templates are set up by the host) as a user (unless I just do not know how). Any additional thoughts on this would be appreciated

Brett, yers i relize that was not your site, i did find your site after making that post, got your image on it.
I did find some problems.
a big one is canonical domin name
Your web site is reachable by www. and non www, this means that your LJ is split between them. see links for explaination
http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-multiple-canonical-formats
http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/tutorials/how-to-fix-canonical-domain-name-issuesYou also have a lot of unopened or unclosed tags. It is hard for search engines to see what is mean to be visdible to the user, and they may dismiss a lot of content because of this.
There is a few others also, but i would fix these 2, it will probably give you a boost
You have a lot of unnessasary code, .
If you look at souce code of your site, compared to mine, you see a huge difference, i can see your page and mine are about equal on text content showing to the users, but in source code you have 85,146 characters while mine has 11,721

No it is not mine. Good point on the relevancy of the pages. Something I had not thought of and will investigate. Thanks for this as I am trying to better understand all of the factors that could affect SERP
-
Relevancy of links, on page SEO and the technical SEO of your site and more, and more we dont know about.
I dont kknow the ins and outs of OSE, but it would be hard to know how relevant the pages where the links come from, somthing very important.is this your site? http://comoxvalleyrealestate.com/
i will have a look at it for you
-
When competing with sites for SERP that have much lower authority according to OSE, lower page rank, and far fewer, lower authority sites, what other major factor would account for differences other than time?
-
No, Rand has stated that its not the time you have been around, but the fact that time brings links and reconition. There maybe advanatge in gaining links and exposure over time steadly, showing a natural pattern, but simply having your domain name registered for a long period i dont think is true.

Ranking Issue for New Site
Hi all, I have got a specific SEO challenge. 6 months ago, we started to build an eCommerce site (located in the UK). In order to speed up the site launch, we copied the entire site over from an existing site based in Ireland. Now, the new UK site has been running for 5 months. Google has indexed many pages, which is good, but we can't rank high (position: between 20-30 for most pages). We thought it was because of content duplication in spite of different regions. So we tried to optimize the pages for the UK site to make them more UK-related and avoid content duplication. I've also used schema to tell google it's a UK-based site and set up Google my business and got more local citations. Besides, If you could give me any suggestions, it'd be perfect.

Time to rank is faster is some countries than others
Hello, I have noticed that pages rank much faster in some countries than other. For example it seems that in the usa it takes much longer than in France for example. For the same keyword in English. Have anyone noticed that also and why is that ? I have also noticed that the more monthly searches the keyword has the longer it will take to rank. Thank you,

Rankings and keywords
I have a site www.firewall-cs.com that I have been working on for 4 months. The first 2 months the keywords were going up and then...dropped like a rock! We didn't build the website, but it is a Wordpress site so I can make some changes. For the keywords that have "IT" in them, we haven't been able to recover. It's like Google isn't even reading the home page. The home page slider has the H1 in it and has 3. I have told this to the client. Plus there isn't a lot of content on the page. Is the H1 issue enough for the word "IT Support Orlando" to not rank? Any suggestions would help! Thank you.

Key page of site not ranking at all
Our site has the largest selection of dog clothes on the Internet. We're been (every so slowly) creeping up in the rankings for the "dog clothes" term, but for some reason only rank for our home page. Even though the home page (and every page on the domain) has links pointing to our specific Dog Clothes page, that page doesn't even rank anywhere when searching Google with "dog clothes site:baxterboo.com". http://www.google.com/webhp?source=hp&q=dog+clothes+site:baxterboo.com&#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=dog+clothes+site:baxterboo.com&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=dog+clothes+site:baxterboo.com&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=f4efcaa1b8c328f Pages 2+ of product results from that page rank, but not the base page. It's not excluded in robots.txt, All on site links to that page use the same URL. That page is loaded with more text that includes the keywords. I don't believe there's duplicated content. What am I missing? Has the page somehow been penalized?
