Makes sense, I absolutely don't want to chance with the menu and have it mistaken for cloaking. We will now look at other solutions for a more traditional menu with better internal linking and less links.

Thank you for your input!

Hello,

I just like to ask for best practice when it comes to reduce number of internal links on a site with a mega menu.

Since the mega menu lists all categories and all their subcategories it creates a problem when all categories are linking to all categories directly..

Would the method below reduce the number of links and preventing the link juice flowing directly from category to category?

[(link built with JavaScript and the html5 "data-" attribute)

Thinking of using these links to categories in the menu not directly below the parent category.](#)

Thanks Ally for your answer, will now block Baidu

Hello!

One of our websites receives a large amount of traffic from the Baidu crawler. We do not have any Chinese content or do any business with China since our market is Uk.

Is it a good idea to block the Baidu crawler in the robots.txt or could it have any adverse effects on SEO of our site?

What do you suggest?

Rule of thumb, the h1 heading  should describe the paragraph / content below it (in not more than one sentence). For the next headings you could use the h2 tag.

Write for the users. Of course you should pick the right words / phrases people use when they search.

Make the headings compelling encouraging the user to keep on reading

It could take a little time. I did some redirects myself earlier this year, but the old pages are still in Google's index.

Maybe someone else can confirm that it can take a little time before the old pages are dropped from Google's index?

Did you verify with a tool like http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php that you get a 301 redirect?
