Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

I would be very careful of openly asking for a link because if Google gets wind of this, you could be in trouble as the link was never earned. There are ways to ask without asking.

What you have posted just looks like a CSS class style so I wouldn't worry about that, but I would be looking to build a natural link profile which includes a range of link types.

Hi,

What is their thinking for no-following internal links? This is never a good idea and Google will even tell you this because they need links to be able to crawl and navigate their way around the site.

Why would there be even more links on mobile if they hadn't no-followed them?

Hi,

It isn't something I would recommend. The title would keep changing as the stock changed, but as Ikkie said, Google will just ignore this element.

Try and think about you you can make the title engaging at the same time as telling Google what the page is about - and remember, you have 70 characters (approx) to play with now.

That's great news Dusan - glad you figured it out

I would certainly be looking to use Ajax - iFrame wouldn't be a good move in this case.

However, I personally wouldn't think it were necessary to do this as I would add an overall review score on the page and then link "read reviews" to a modal window or such that just carries the review once, but linked to from many different pages.

It does away with the issues you might face with Ajax and means your pages are much tidier without lots of extra content that does nothing for the page.

It sounds to me like a config issue in the .htaccess file. There is no real reason for it not to work otherwise.

See if you find your solution in here:

Hi Lida,

Going to be a very awkward one to diagnose without seeing the sites and testing.

Is this on a Wordpress powered site? Is the content in the page source rather than actually on the page?

Hi,

Keyword cannibalisation is a problem that many sites face and it is normally down to pages not being targeted enough, or being too similar to one another.

The example that you used there, Graphic Design and Web Design, if either is talking about the other, makes too many references or doesn't include the words and phrases that Google would expect to see, then you are likely to face this problem.

Rand went over this a while ago and suggested that if the wrong pages are ranking for the wrong pages, then you need to devalue the wrong pages by removing those words and phrases that are causing you these issues.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I would certainly not be wanting to see duplicate answers to the same questions, so depending on how your Q&A will work, I would be looking to give one answer, unless there is a significant difference.

It's a little difficult to understand how your Q&A is presented and how answers are given, so would be happy to take a quick look if you post a link here or PM it to me?

Hi,

Open up search console (as long as you have it setup) and check to see if there are any warnings from Google.

It might be something very straight forward, but I would start here.

I would then read the MOZ guide on how they score these - you might pick up some ideas as to what can be causing this.

It's a bit awkward to say what else might be causing this without spending some time looking at it.

Hi Nicky,

How far off do you see the content as being published? The reason I ask if because Mobile First isn't far off and this is changing how Google indexes pages and works out the rankings.

Part of this is that they are going to start viewing the content behind a tab or accordion - the main reason for this is that Google is going to start using the mobile site for both mobile and desktop rankings and they see this as the best technique to keep mobile users happy. It is good for UX.

At the moment, Google will index that content, but it will be given a lower score than if it was all shown, but you also need to think about how a page might look without it - will it just be a huge page that you can get lost in, or is it not so big that you could have only 20 Q&A's and have it still looking good?

-Andy

Hi,

There are many ways to do this depending on your site and structure.

Are you doing this to try and get the additional phrases into Google, or for usability once someone lands on your site? If you are doing it for Google, you will want to avoid duplication of pages based on naming / keyword conventions and try not to create lots of pages that only have the basics to differentiate them.

-Andy

Hi Michael,

The problem is we are having difficulty getting the products within p= indexed*

If you have a canonical set on a p=* to the base URL, this will mean those pages never get indexed by Google.

If each page is different /p=1, /p=2 et al, then a rel prev / next will handle this for you. However, it depends on what is on each of those pages. If they are virtually identical (or at least very similar) then the solution might be to leave the canonical in place - but that doesn't sound like what you want.

If what I am reading is right, the nel=next & prev would work for you - but remove the canonical on each page. You could also use a view-all as this will work, but have a read of some of the options here. It covers what you need to know.

It would make more sense to transfer your site to the new domain first. Get that working correctly and ranking as it should and then you can focus on changing the design.

Here is some good information from Google on how to achieve this.
