Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I agree that your second option is probably best from a layout point of view. As for the URLs, you can always change them by changing the permalinks for each city page individually or by setting a general permalink structure without the category (i.e. services) if you want.

Hope this helps.

Never mind-

It looks like Google was basing it on just 2 days, which turned out to be Easter and I guess people already had their Easter candy!

Hi all-

I'm a bit confused and hope someone may have an idea. In the last few days, traffic to our site has taken a big hit, so much so that I even got an email from webmaster tools that the home page was receiving significantly less traffic. I can't find anything particular that we changed that should have this much of an effect, but then again, I have been shortsighted in the past 

The site is bulkcandystore.com and if anyone has any thoughts, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Ken

Thanks for the quick response.

You basically validated what I was thinking. Oddly enough, Wistia was exactly where we were looking to go, and I didn't even know about the discount.

Thanks!

Hi all-

I am currently making videos to put on our site about some of our products. The same video will appear on a few different product pages as they will be about the category of products (i.e. how many gumballs fit in a few different size jars).

My questions are:

Should I worry about duplicate content issues if the rest of the page is unique?

and for hosting the videos/SEO:

Should I put the videos on youtube or use another hosting service. I don't think any of these are going to go viral, it's mostly about more content on the page to increase conversions.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Ken.

It turns out they are notices, not warnings. I didn't really see the difference until you pointed it out.

Thanks for the info!

Hi all.

I think I'm a bit confused. When I check my crawl diagnostics its listing lots of warnings under the heading rel-canonical. I am not sure why, since virtually all my pages have the  link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>"  tag. I use it because there are a lot of possible extensions that can appear on the pages as it is an eCommerce site.

Why would seomoz list this as a warning?

Thanks

Ken

Shot in the dark here, but have you checked your Google Webmaster account for any messages from Google? I know some folks whose rankings went way down and didn't know why until they checked and found the dreaded "unnatural links"  letter waiting for them.

I'm a newbie here, but i did notice that at least one of your internal links using the keyword "childrens bedroom" is giving a 404, I suspect that could be hurting you, especially if there are more of those (check http://www.childrensfunkyfurniture.com/shelves-bookcases)

Also, have you made any changes lately? it looks like your home page has little content outside of product links, did you have more before?

Just my 2 cents
