Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Does anyone have any clues as to Channel Advisor and if by not taking it up, it can hinder your SERP's

I'm getting emails from Channeladvisor recommending I join, thereby taking advantage of a change to Google Shopping.

It is starting in Australia from today (13Feb13).

Is it an upgraded version of Google  Adwords, or another form of a Commerce Merchant (obviously with multiple channels,e.g. Ebay, Amazon etc)?

With Adwords, I found it too expensive for the type of product we sell (printer cartridges).

But the real question is, DO MY RANKINGS DROP FROM NOT USING CHANNEL ADVISOR?

But does it take a picture like a fake app and remember what letters are on the board and how to manipulate them with your letters?

How about a fake Apps that allows you to take a photo of the scrabble game in progress along with your letters bar, and then instantly finding the highest value word from what is on the board?

is this what you're thinking?

It would seem to me that if your 40 articles material is covered by the 5 good articles, then you might want to delete them if you are more concerned about maintaining a higher editorial level to attract/maintain customers..

But if you are more concerned with traffic content, is there any reason why you can't maintain all the articles using  different keywords?

Currently, my Website, according to the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, has 401 'Duplicate Page Title Errors'.

But in Google Webmaster Tools, under Óptimization on the Left hand Side Toolbar, if you look up HTML Improvements, there are only 4 'Duplicate Title Tags'.

I have two questions re this:

A) Do 'Duplicate Page Title Errors' and 'Duplicate  Title Tags' have the same meaning' ? , and

B) why are there 401 errors located by the former, and just 4  by the latter?

Anyone know when they'll have keyword rankings update?

SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer has had a few hiccups recently and might be taking a while to fully analyse your keywords. Thing hav'nt been as they properly should be in updating keyword rankings etc,

Possibly when they get through a new update your On-Page rankings might be more accurate.

This is only a summation on my part, and maybe a staff member can give a more meaningful contribution.

I'm not a professional SEO, and perhaps because of that I really feel I am getting my subscription's worth.

Each month I'm discovering new aspects of SEOmoz.

This week it was 'On-page Optimization', and the only regret I had was that I hadn't come across this little gem three months ago!

You'll soon know if it works for you, and if it does, it's not hard to find that $99 per month (Rand, don't go putting it up now).

Also there is no change in rankings reports since 28/08/12

Morgan,

A phase in this case is a development stage. previous phases were newspapers, radio, television, Netscape. A future phase for all I know might be 3D imaging, which if another provider is quick on the uptake, could make Google's search engine obsolete over time.

Reading through the SEOmoz threads, and also other forums, I can't help but notice that the majority of material covered is about SEO & SERP, white hat & black hat linking, social media blogs and articles, etc, etc.

Everyone trying to scramble to the top of their market via Google. If Google brought out a release saying that hopping down the street naked & having a neighbour googling that you had, for improved SERP ratings, would produce a weird downtown scenario.

What I am asking, is this: Does Google have too much power in determining to the world what is correct and what is not as a corporation. And are they and what they have a passing phase, or will they lose their dominance like Microsoft etc through technical change?

Further to what Klarke advised, you run the risk of obtaining 'black hat' links if you try to do the same thing.

What you reap so too will you harvest!

There is a very good explanation of "canonical" at http://tinyurl.com/38ycpw8. by Jody Nimetz

The first part of it I have inserted here..... trust it helps:

Canonical URL: the search engine friendly URL that you want the search engines to treat as authoritative.  In other words, a canonical URL is the URL that you want visitors to see.

Quite often canonical URLs were used to describe the homepage.  The typical example used is that most people treat the following URLs as the same:

www.example.com
example.com
www.example.com/index.html
example.com/home.asp

The fact is that these are all different URLs.  From a search engine perspective, this can cause a bit of an issue.  Hence the idea of canonicalization.  Canonicalization is the process of picking the best URL (to present to the search engines) when there are multiple choices available.  Typically a search engine, such as Google will attempt to pick the best URL that they feel is the authority for that page.  However, sometimes they may in fact select the wrong one.  Now let’s suggest that you have product pages that depending on how the user navigated to the pager returns a different URL… same page but different URL, now we have a duplicate content issue.  Not to mention the nightmare for interlinking and external link inventories.

The easiest way to avoid this is to let the Search engines and the users know which is your “preferred URL” a.k.a canonical URL.............................

I agree with Kenny. The cross is difficult to find when you aern't aware of it.

AMight I suggest small checkboxes with the word 'delete' inside each.
