Hi Stephen,

GoogleBot can't crawl links with a gclid, so they won't end up in the index and won't be flagged as duplicate pages.

AdWords does not work this way. The script that produces the ads contains no links--there's nothing for GoogleBot to discover without running the script. which it does not do. I am not certain that Google search produces the ads the same way, but what would be the point of GoogleBot crawling Google SERPs? It doesn't do that.

I do include canonical tag in the header of all our pages, which is one of Google's suggestions for dealing with this. I suppose that could be why I don't have an issue with this.

*If you don't believe this to be true, look through your logs and try to find one record of GoogleBot crawling an AdWords link with a valid gclid.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Lisa,

If you are asking about Google AdWords campaign then you can use competitors brand as keyword but you can't use in Ad copy but if you are asking about SEO then Google does NOT police this. So in the SEO sense you can use that and you won't be penalize.

What would be the benefit because a great effort required to rank competitors keyword and if your sites getting visits from those searches most probably bounce rate would be very high I have seen this in Adwords campaign by using competitors keywords?

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you  check them in open site explorer or majestic seo or Hrefs? unfortunately Google doesn't show all its links.It can take a while for new links to be found by Google.  They say it can take a couple of weeks but I've seen links that took months to be found.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Becky,

Completely agreed with Andy's suggestion.I  would like to add one more thing here I'm also working on a large e-commerce site with thousands of products. I find a good way to insert alt tag very easily I asked web developer to create a module by which every products having alt tag with product name and web developer did a great job by writing only few lines of code. you can ask web developer to do the same.

Now I don't need to add alt tag individually on each product and it saves my time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

To check broken links/URLs (the http response ‘404 not found error’) on your website) you can use Screaming Frog SEO spider which is free in lite form, for up to 500 URLs.

http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/broken-link-checker/

Gary Illyes from Google says "Whoever came up with the idea that having 404s gives a site any sort of penalty, you're wrong. Utterly wrong."

Hi,

I'm completely agree with Andy because if a spammy link is nofollow then there is no reason to worry.

"When a link is disavowed, the next time that Google crawls that link they essentially add an invisible nofollow tag to the link."

Hi,

I'm not agree with Lawrence on this . Calculation of Average position in Google search console under 'Search analytics' tab or in "Aquistions/Search Engine Optimisation" is complicated. Google changes definition in 2012 and Here is how Google explains it:

Let’s say Nick searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 3, 6, and 12. Jane also searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 5 and 9. Previously, we would have averaged all these positions together and shown an Average Position of 7. Going forward, we’ll only average the highest position your site appeared in for each search (3 for Nick’s search and 5 for Jane’s search), for an Average Position of 4.
