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.

Bogus Search Results
Hi, A website I look after was hacked. We cleaned it up , removed malicious content and changed passwords. However the bogus links which were created have kept multiplying. Search Console is all clear. But they keep adding to Google, bogus links. My client site is www.mechfieldfm.com.au For example http://mechfieldfm.com.au/JCB-BACKHOE-IGNITION-SWITCH-WITH-2-KEYS-PART-NO-70180184-70145500-372796/ There are thousands of bogus links created. But I believe they are outside the hosting. Any help would be appreciated.

Google won't index my website because "certain conditions" weren't met
I found the answer on this -- interestingly, I had changed registrars and they didn't pull over the DNS information correctly. This caused the above issues. Once I identified this, I updated the DNS correctly -- at registrar and server -- and things worked fine.

What is the best tactic to fix thousands of product descriptions on an eCommerce site?
I've asked this to dozens of people already, but I still haven't found a satisfactory answer... perhaps someone here can help me: I keep hearing how important it is to update product descriptions to avoid duplicate content, decrease thin content and improve conversion rates - but for any new eCommerce sites like ours, with thousands of listings going up at once, this is nearly impossible to control. Outsourcing is clearly a bad idea from an SEO standpoint as well as a UX standpoint... But are there any other options? Should I let go of my other responsibilities and focuses as an in-house SEO manager and virtually stop, drop and roll out unique product descriptions? That would be a project that would take me at least a year to complete. Do I just give up? Do two descriptions a day and hope for the best? What do you guys think? What have you recommended for others? I can't imagine our company is alone in this dilemma. Thanks in advance! Hanna

Embed WordPress blog into site or /blog?
Hi, Just a quick question - I assumed it would be a better to have a WordPress blog in a sub folder rather than a sub domain however I just wondered would it offer any more / less value if I just embedded the WordPress blog into my existing code? Thanks, Dan

Does a directory running on a subdomain help or hurt SEO on the main site?
I have a blog, with a directory on the subdomain: directory.fbforbusinessmarketing.com. Is that smart for SEO, as it gives the overall domain more traffic? Or bad for SEO because of the different topics and all those outbound links? I'd appreciate opinions. Thanks.

Multiple Domains pointing to one site?
Due to takeovers, different strategies and a certain amount of historical lack of control, we have a dozen sites covering many different specialist areas of our business. To make things easier to manage, we are thinking of merging website content, then repointing some of the domains to the new section within the larger website. The content on each site is all different, but the subject matter is sometimes the same.This will make content, design and management much easier. We propose to choose the best content, then repoint the underperforming domains. Is there an seo risk of having many domains pointing to one site?

Google : Bad positioning of my new articles for 2 months
For one or two months my new questions / Answers have a bad positioning and competitors who have a contents of inferior quality are classified in front of dismoicomment.fr. Recently I had + of 1000 errors of exploitation in webmasters tools because there was an url in the code of every page which was untraceable. Do you think that it can come from there? Nevertheless since the passage of Google panda, I have more traffic. I don't Understand... Furthermore my old posts have same positioning. My website : www.dismoicomment.fr Thank you. Sorry for my bad level in english.

Asynchronous loading of google maps?
I'm working on a page that ranks the 10 best neighborhoods in our city. With each of the top 10 I have a 300x200 google map of the area. These maps are taking some time to load and slowing down the speed of the page. Is there a way to load these asynchronously? Or any other way to speed up the page?
