Welcome to the Q&A Forum

yes the website has been crawled... i have done that test and their website is ranking for several things...

Hello, recently we had a lot of content written for our new website. Unfortunately me and my partner have went separate ways, and he has used all my unique content on his own website. All our product descriptions, about us etc, he simply changed the name of the company.

He has agreed to take the content down, so that i can now put this content on our new website which is currently being designed.

Will google see this as duplicate content as it has been on a website before? Even though the content has been removed from the original website.

I was worried as the content is no longer "fresh" so to speak.

Can any one help me with this,

We are in the middle of having new pages added to our website. On our website we will have a information section containing various details about a product, this information will be several paragraphs long. we were wanting to show the first paragraph and have a read more button to show the rest of the content that is hidden.

Whats googles view on this, is this bad for seo?

Thanks for that, but technically they are not duplicates... one page is the product sales page and the another is a news article about the event itself. Only some off the content could be used... so these pages are not duplicates...

i only want too use some off the content?

Our website sells tickets for events. We also have an news articles section with information about events / artists / venues.

From time to time we release a product page and a related news article on a separate page. Some of the content in the news article would be perfect for our product page. Essentially its our product page we want too rank.

Would it harm our SEO if we had some of the same content on both of these pages?

In open site explorer the Facebook and twitter stats are very low in correlation to what we think it should be.

Twitter - 129

Total tweets and retweets of this URL since March 2010, including tweets of the URL with unique parameters added.

We tweet our URL and people retweet our url several times a day, why is this figure so low?

Facebook - 268 shares, 133 likes.

Our Facebook page has 16,767 likes · 1,373 talking about this.

Surely this figure should be higher? Could it be that its not linked to our site properly some how? im unsure, can any one shed any light on this please?

Our website has recently been updated, now it seems that all of our products pages look like this

cdnorigin.companyname.com/catagory/product

Google is showing these pages within the search. rather then

companyname.com/catagory/product

Each product page does have a canaonacal tag on that points to the cdnorigin page.

Is this best practice? i dont think that cdnorigin.companyname etc looks very goon in the search. is there any reason why my designer would set the canonical tags up this way?

I have managed to do all that but i cannot understand why it has not linked. it shows our URL but not as a hyperlink?

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have followed the steps on that link you sent me and i am still having problems...

Update your site's home page by adding a link to your Google+ page, like this:

[Find us on Google+](https://plus.google.com/yourpageID)

i have done this step no problem... however...

1. Link to your website from your Google+ page's profile.

   To edit your page profile:

2. Make sure you're on the Google+ page you'd like to edit.

3. Click the profile icon .

4. Click Edit Profile.

5. Click Website. You'll know it's editable when the color of the section changes to blue.

There is no section that says website? or "edit profile"?

I click "edit" on my google plus page and it brings up a box to edit the content...

People, story, work, education... but no section called website.

Its been bugging me for days!

Hello, we have recently created a google + page.

We have entered our URL however i do not think that it is set up correctly.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/110174750926862024398/

There is no button on the header to follow or to +1

there is no mention of our URL within the header, and i have found on many others the url is displayed, linked with a tick and a little globe next to it.

i am presuming that i need to link the google plus page to my webiste and verify it some how? But i am struggling to figure out how too do this. can any one help or shed any light on this? Thanks
