Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the help.

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering what to do with form and thank you pages. I asked a question a long time ago about the contact page as noindex and was told by people that its better to leave it and write content for it and thats what we did.

Now I have a client that does self storage and they have 4 locations and each location has a reservation page with a basic form but no content. Each page also redirects to a thank you page with tracking codes.

There's a total of 6 "thank you" pages with different codes (this was done by yellow book). 4 "reserve your storage pages", 2 pages to pay for storage with iframes to 3rd party payment portals.

I was told to noindex these pages but I'm not sure so I'm asking here. I was also told to nofollow and remove them from sitemaps.

Thanks

Thanks for the great answer. I never had a site drop Domain Authority yet so got worried. I'll keep an eye on the trend and watch my competitors closely.

why would my domain authority drop 2 points ?and how can i bring my domain authority back up?'.

The way woocommerce works is by creating a custom post type. (similar to a regular blog post but styled for products) and then dynamically adds the products to a product category page or anywhere else I want them displayed. Creating a custom post type for products also enables allot of customization and even advanced reporting.

Well I'm not sure it's possible to remove the product pages since the site is built with WordPress and Woocommerce. Each product creates a url. I can create a quick view box with an add to cart button for a better user experience but the product url will always be there.

Thinking about what you said  I may have a few options but I may be way off.

1. I can optimize the category page for the product keywords with more content and details. Then I can noindex all the product pages.

2. I can optimize the single product pages and add unique content to each product for about 10 products and noindex the rest.

Not sure if noindexing would be the right way to do it or if it would add more issues. Since I'm using WordPress and the yoast seo plugin I can have the website owner check the noindex button on all new products created. What do you think?

As far as content we are in the process of putting together a full content strategy and will have many tutorials and other great care info along with industry tips and blog posts.

Hey Guys, I'm working on a website with WYSIWYG one of a kind products and the url's are continuously changing. There are allot of duplicate page titles (56 currently) but that number is always changing too.

Let me give you guys a little background on the website. The site sells different types of live coral. So there may be anywhere from 20 - 150 corals of the same species. Each coral is a unique size, color etc. When the coral gets sold the site owner trashes the product creating a new 404. Sometimes the url gets indexed, other times they don't since the corals get sold within hours/days. I was thinking of optimizing each product with a keyword and re-using the url by having the client update the picture and price but that still leaves allot more products than keywords.

Here is an example of the corals with the same title http://austinaquafarms.com/product-category/acans/

Thanks for the help guys.  I'm not really sure what to do.

Thanks guys, I decided to use both and it's working great. Reads better too.

Whats the best way to find sites to guest blog on. There are just so many and I don't want to make bad choices so my current rankings don't get hurt

Hi guys, I'm wondering if there's a huge difference between exact keywords vs connecting words. i.e. "limo service chicago" vs " limo service in chicago" or something similar. It's tough to have 4+ keywords on a page sound great without using some form of connecting word. Will google still rank the page as high if I use connection words in a few instances of the keyword? Or should I just leave the exact keyword fir all instances. Thanks in advance.
