Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Honestly.. Site A is a Cash Cow that does not need SEO. I would love to clean it up, but there are external forces preventing that at the moment. These forces are not technical.

Site B is in the same industry as A, but with a different model and user. Both sites are pertient.

Let me simplify this question....

1.Can duplicate content effect more than just the root domain and spread across to other websites on the same IP range? and WHOIS?

2. Moreover does any SEO need to worry about what their clients are doing on sites that are out of their control (assuming no blackhat techniques)?

I have a client who owns two large websites and they sit on the same IP Range: XXX.XX.11.124 and XXX.XX.11.126. Obviously the X's match. Furthermore the whois in the same.

Website A is really old and has millions of pages, but has some unintentional but spammy subdomains that are duplicate content.... we are talking thousands. At this point addressing those subdomains is not an option. Website A also links to millions of times to Website B, but those links are either nofollowed or in javascript.

Website A has a ton of duplicate content through job feeds.

Now Website B is about 4-5 years old and has a great link graph but has been hit hard by Panda in which we recovered only to dive again. My question is, Website B is very close to having near perfect onpage SEO, hierarchy, etc. Could website A be effecting it in anyway?

If we assume that Website A is impacting B, what is the safest solution.... change servers and IP addresses? Change host entirely? Do I need to worry about whois?

Thank you!

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone can help me. Currently I'm trying to set up a HTML sitemap for our website and am having trouble with the 500+ pages of content under each category. How do you segment your HTML sitemap in a case like this, keeping in mind the less than 100 links per page rule? For example, http://www.careerbliss.com/salary/ allows our users to search salaries under company, job title, and location. You can imagine how many thousands of pages we need to represent.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Reyna

As subdomains tend to divide site authority between the subdomain and the root... it is a best practice to incorporate your blog at domain.com/blog/

This is something I've been noticing greatly over the past few months. I was literally just about to post this question:

site: command, y u no accurate?!

I feel like the site:domain.com command used to be very accurate in showing you total pages indexed. Recently, I've seen wildly varied results returned.

Of course, it varies based upon the inclusion of "www.", but even without it, I've seen such results as anywhere from 193k to 8million pages... and everything in-between.

Why the variance? Has anyone else seen this recently?

There's about 43k pages indexed in  this directory, and while helpful to end users, I don't see it being a great source of unique content for search engines.

Would you robots block or meta noindex nofollow these pages in the /blissindex/ directory?

ie.

http://www.careerbliss.com/blissindex/petsmart-index-980481/

http://www.careerbliss.com/blissindex/att-index-1043730/

http://www.careerbliss.com/blissindex/facebook-index-996632/

I'm thinking about purchasing http://employeesurveyresource.com/ .. $300

It's showing a PR5, but I'm not seeing many backlinks in Y! site explorer or open site explorer.

Has anyone been successful in absorbing the PR from older domains / domains without current content?

I know sometimes people can fake PR by 301'ing from a high PR site, to sell the domain and then cancel the 301, leaving you with a dud.

Can someone shed some light on this please? Thank you!

We have a massive site that is having some issue being fully crawled due to some of our site architecture and linking.

Is it possible to have a XML sitemap index point to other sitemap indexes rather than standalone XML sitemaps?

Has anyone done this successfully? Based upon the description here:

http://sitemaps.org/protocol.php#index it seems like it should be possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Our site, CareerBliss.com, primarily offers unique content in the form of company reviews and exclusive salary information. As a means of driving revenue, we also have a lot of job listings in ouir /jobs/ directory, as well as educational resources (/career-tools/education/) in our. The bulk of this information are feeds, which exist on other websites (duplicate). Does it make sense to go ahead and robots block these portions of our site?

My thinking is in doing so, it will help reallocate our site authority helping the /salary/ and /company-reviews/ pages rank higher, and this is where most of the people are finding our site via search anyways.

ie.

http://www.careerbliss.com/jobs/cisco-systems-jobs-812156/

http://www.careerbliss.com/jobs/jobs-near-you/?l=irvine%2c+ca&landing=true

http://www.careerbliss.com/career-tools/education/education-teaching-category-5/

I've added NOODP and NOYDIR metas to our pages... but Google is still somehow showing the correct title tag that is on the page, but is changing the CASING of the | Domain.com portion.

In some instances, they are still showing a different title tag all together. Why would they be ignoring the <title>tag on the page and placing an uncased version of our domain name at the end?</p> <p> </p> <a download="MxQjo" class="imported-anchor-tag" href="http://imgur.com/MxQjo" target="_blank">MxQjo</a></title>

So, Mechanical Turk is a an Amazon solution for a scalable workforce. You can have thousands of people around the world complete simple tasks for you. They are your brute force solution for getting work done. So, in the instance of manipulating suggested search, you utilize them to perform different queries other than company + scam in Google in order to, over time, knock that terms OFF of suggested search.
