Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a client who says they can't implement a 301 on their home page.  They have tow different urls for their home page that are live and do not redirect.  I know that the best solution would be to redirect one to the main URL but they say this isn't possible.   So they implemented the rel canonical instead.  Is this the second best solution for them if they can't redirect?  Will the link juice be passed through the rel canonical?

Thanks!

I just tried their site search and looked at their backlinks and nothing with that misspelling appeared.  However, I did a google search for the site and misspelling and found a smattering of sites that had the link and the title tag listed with the misspelling.  Would google be displaying an old title tag even if the page was cached on Aug. 3?

Google is pulling up a sitelink that is spelled wrong.

How can I figure out where the data is being pulled from.  I couldn't find it on the page that the sitelink goes to.

Thanks!

A client just redesigned their site and launched it around May 30.  The organic traffic has had a MAJOR drop and has not returned yet.  All of the old pages have been 301 redirected to the new pages.  Any thoughts on what could be causing this to www.brickhousesecurity.com?

In Google Webmaster Tools, before the redesign we were receiving about 300,000 impressions and 10-12,000 clicks.  Now the impressions are only 100,000 with half as many clicks.

Thanks!

I have a client who is using the rel=canonical tag across their e-commerce site.  Here is an example of how it is set up.

URLs

1.  http://www.beautybrands.com/category/makeup/face/bronzer.do?nType=22.  http://www.beautybrands.com/category/makeup/face/bronzer.doThe canonical tag points to the second URL. Both pages are indexed by Google.The first page has a higher page authority (most of the internal site links go to the first URL) than the second one.  Should the page with the highest authority be the one that the canonical tag points to?  Is there a better way to handle these situations?  Does any authority get passed through the tag?Thanks!

Do I need to submit a sitemap for a mobile site?  What are the benefits/disadvantages?

Thanks!

Some of the pages on my client's website have too many on page links because they have lists of all their products.  Is there anything I should/could do about this?

I have a client that is currently using blogger.com for their blog.  I don't have much experience with this site as I have mostly used Wordpress in the past.  Are there any good SEO plugins/tools for this site?

Thanks!

My site is showing a lot of duplicate content on SEOmoz.  I have discovered it is because the site has a lot of swatches (colors for laminate) within iframes.  Those iframes have all the same content except for the actual swatch image and the title of the swatch.

For example, these are two of the links that are showing up with duplicate content:

http://www.formica.com/en/home/dna.aspx?color=3691&std=1&prl=PRL_LAMINATE&mc=0&sp=0&ots=&fns=&grs=

http://www.formica.com/en/home/dna.aspx?color=204&std=1&prl=PRL_LAMINATE&mc=0&sp=0&ots=&fns=&grs=

I do want each individual swatch to show up in search results and they currently are if you search for the exact swatch name.  Is the fact that they all have duplicate content affecting my individual rankings and my domain authority?  What can I do about it?  I can't really afford to put unique content on each swatch page so is there another way to get around it?

Thanks!

I have a site that has a lot of contact modules.  So basically each section/page has a contact person and when you click the contact button it brings up a new window with form to submit and then ends with a thank you page.  All of the contact and thank you pages are showing up as duplicate page titles and content.  Is this something that needs to be fixed even if I am not using them to target keywords?
