Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi all,

Wondered if there was any wisdom on this that anyone could impart my way?

I'm moving a set of pages from one area of the site to another - to bring them up the folder structure, and so they generally make more sense.  Our URLs are very long in some cases, so this ought to help with some rationalisation there too.

We will have redirects in place, but the pages I'm moving are important and I'd like the new paths to be indexed as soon as possible.  In such an instance, can I submit an additional sitemap with just these URLs to get them indexed quicker (or to reaffirm that indexing from the initial parse)?  The site is thousands of pages.

Any benefits /  disadvantages anyone could think of?  Any thoughts very gratefully received.

Thanks Kate, I enjoyed reading the guide

Hi all,

I'm going around in circles a little on this one, so I thought that I'd as as I haven't found anyone asking quite the same thing (sorry if someone has).

I have a .co.uk site and would like to set up some different language variations.  I've been looking at the subfolder route for now (budget is limited).  Can I set a geotag in webmaster tools on a .co.uk site or does it need to be a domain that Google considers country neutral?

Many thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks guys - appreciate your time.

Hi everyone!

I've had a look through some duplicate content posts and I can't see the answer to this query, so I thought I'd ask in case someone could help.

I've been looking at a website that competes with the site that I work on.  They have profile pages containing content that has been copied and pasted straight from the suppliers' websites.

Their pages have all their own code framing the content, which is diluting the concentration of duplicate copy.

How much duplicate content can a page have before it gets penalised or ignored by Google?

Any suggestions very gratefully received
