Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am about to launch a new site and I am looking for someone for link building in the real estate industry with proven track record.

I would be interesting in discussing terms and strategy.

All tjose suggestions are probably a factor, but the latest panda rev happened on or about april 24th. Coincidence?

You should have your IP address's omitted via google analytics, there is an option to do that

Ok as predicted the google update has happened and the higher the grade with seomoz On-page Optimization the lower the page rank. That is my experience Once again, when will the tools reflect the Recent changes? I suggest that optimizing to the tool can be detrimental to rankings

Hi,

When will your On-page Optimization Tool be updated to reflect the Over Optimization Penalty which is coming.

I would think that grading out at an 'A' will have adverse effects.

FYI  I am not a rookie.  No 101 responses please.

I have 4 pages for a single product

Each of the pages link to the Main page for that product

Google is indexing the secondary pages above my preferred landing page

How do I fix this?

That was not my question.

The question was, does google use the ave page load time of the domain when ranking a page or does it use the page load time of the specific page it is grading?

In webmaster tools, under labs/site performance google provides your ave page load time.

When google grades a page, does it use how long that specific page loads

-or-

Does google use the overall ave page load time for the domain as provided in lab/site performance

I mentioned the "Old Posts are Irrelevent".

I am concerned with how google will interpret a lot of 301 to the new blog

The URLS will not return a 404 because they have been 301

Hi,

I just upgraded everything, a much faster server.  I have significantly improved page load times.

I have 2 questions

1.  I also upgraded my blog which is a component of the site.  I could NOT redirect post-for-post  so made single 301 redirect from all pages from the old blog to the root of new blog.  I did not care about the old blog, the posts are irrelevant now.

Will the massive redirects be a problem?

2.  I had some DNS issues and other problems that took me about 24 hours to fix during the transition.  The site is up an fully operational.

Will I be penalized?  If so, how long

Thank you,

Why not use rel canonical? I would prefer that to a 301 (my 2nd choice)

I agree also. Thank you

As far as subdomain or subfolder, I see no difference. Can you explain Kane?

The blog has little value, with almost no user traffic.

It will be redesigned in a subdomain on the site.

I am only concerned with crawlers/google crawlers etc..and being penalized for tons of missing pages by 404'ing

There is nothing linking to the blog

Note: Re-posting since I accidentally marked as answered

Hi,

I have a blog that has thousands of URL, the blog is a part of my site.

I would like to obsolete the blog, I think the best choices are

1. 404 Them:  Problem is a large number of 404's. I know this is Ok, but makes me hesitant.

2. meta tag no follow no index. This would be great, but the question is they are already indexed.

Thoughts?

Thanks

PS

A 301 redirect to the main page would be flagged as a soft 404

It is the same template but the content is not duplicate content, the content is driven by geographic area

I am almost positive, that using a 301 to the main page would be considered a soft 404 error

Hi,

I have about 60+ domains which are spread across a few different IP address's and a couple of Servers

The domains use the same template, which is modified per the specific domain

Out of the 60, a single domain attracts virtually no traffic. In google webmaster, there are no messages, nothing out of the order

The supporting blogs etc... for that domain are all fine.

Any idea why one domain does not perform, while the other 60 plug are successful?

Hi Adam,

Differences I am noticing are with the seomoz tool.

One example is the grade for the URL

The tool does not recognize credit for having street (lower case) in the URL if the keyword is Street

For the On-Site Optimization Grade

I get different results for keywords

For example

Street and St and street and st

All grade differently

How should one optimize their site for common interchangeable words?
