Google Site Search
-
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone had used Google Site Search before and what they thought of it?
http://www.google.com/sitesearch/
It seems quite expensive for just returning your own pages but would be interested to find out more.
Thanks

I would totally recommend Google Sitesearch.
I found that in our latest client, they manage to increase conversion rates and thus increasing their profits...coincidence? Nope.
I found that the display of results enticed the users to stay on for longer and make it more engaging. It’s faster than a open source search engine
Hope this helps. I would really love to give a demo and stats on my clients work but i cant due to a confidentiality clause.
Two thumbs Up!

ditto - just seeing what people think, you're in my camp by the looks.

OK got ya, I dont know if its worth it, i would just click on link myself.

Nope, it's not free. It's actually something that appears in SERPs - like the House of Fraser result you see here: - it's not acutally on site as such.

Bing has a free site search you can use

How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?
I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Will our two retail sites get hit with duplicate content?
Our retail site just rolled out a second online store. The URL is new and it is showing some of the same products from the same vendors (probably about 40% of the fist store is in the second store). Down the road, we will remove the products from the first site, however, we are keeping it for now. The products show up on both sites, with the same images, and the same descriptions and almost the same URL query string. Are we going to get hit with any penalties due to duplicate content?

Does a Google Map on the contact page help with SEO?
In regards to ranking organically for local search results (not google places), I'm wondering if there is any benefit to having a Google Map on my Contact page with our location pinned? If so, how important do you think it is?

Does Google penalize for duplicate blog posts?
Occasionally, I get asked by another blogger if they can repost (in full) one of our blog posts on their blog as a guest post. I've always been under the impression that Google penalizes this type of behavior, but I haven't seen any evidence. Is this true?

How to best take advantage of content being used on another site?
We've never syndicated content or done "article marketing". Another site contacted us and requested to use the content on several of our webpages. The other site is a fairly prestigious nonprofit in our industry. We don't mind them using our content, but we want to get the most benefit out of it. There are two ways the occur to me: Have them create pages with the exact same text as on our pages, but put in the header of those pages Just have them create pages with the text from our pages with embedded links back to our other pages. Each page they create will say "Content courtesy of XXX" Does anyone have opinions on which way is best, or another approach?
