Hi Justin,

If the pages are duplicated ones or don't have relevant content is a waste of google crawl budget.

One of the things I do always when I start an audit is check a crawl of the site with the access in analytics and the logs (access of the bots) to see the useful and useless pages for SEO.

With this data you can take better decisions.

Hope it helps

Hi,

my approach is a little different:

I'm working with a job board and lots of job post are outdated every day.

I add a noindex tag in order to give google index only relevant pages. Also in these outdated pages we introduce similar job post to drive the user to another relevan job post for him or her.

If I should do a redirect I redirect to the category page but it's a little weird for the user I think.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I think that you're missunderstanding things, but, anyway, a RSS source is good if you promote it, then it'll atract to your blog more readers > more traffic and then you've got more PR.

It depends on the use and the effort, if you only put it on your web... pointless, if you promote it good.

Hope it helps

Hi Daniel,

You're right with the micro stuff, I'll give the translators a map with the URLs and the main keyword (because of the importance of the keyword in the URL and a structure of the Title, description, etc like "main keyword | Brand Name" or something similar.

It'll be easier for the traductors to foollow up all and the best way to verify the kw that you want to optimize.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Hi,

I think I'll submit video-sitemaps with all the content and host the new content with a 3rd party.

If he has something like a top 10 or 20 videos I think I'll host them too.

Hope it helps!

Agree with John, and you have a WooThemes 40% discount code in PRO Perks section!!!!

Hi,

If the 424 pages are important and have specific content, you need to redirect all the content. You can't loose anything.

If the content isn't specific, You should plan to remake new pages with more specific content and take care about all the SEO factors (check out  all the SEOmoz tools).

Use Webmaster tools to comunicate google the new sitemap. Now Webmaster tools detect if you're using WP or other software.

I did the same the past month, but with a big website to HTML5 code and redirect all the content. The pages load faster and Google crawler reach more pages. In 2 weeks the web had the same positions (but with google penguin update I had a little Google dance contest)

Check your top pages and content and be careful with, plan all your content and menus (architectural page content) and check all on-page SEO factors.

Hope that helps ang good luck

If you can, yes. The last slash is responsible for about 1% of the link juice, and we don't want to miss more link juice!!!

Bye.

Ok, I know, sorry,

These site links are selected by google, you only can select manually which one you don't want to show using Web Master Tools.

I don't understand this question, if you can clarify it it will be great.

You need use tags with the target keyword for the page that you want to optimize, but the structure of the page should use

**and <h2,...>tags,

I love this explanation: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization

3.
You can use the category like a hub, but only if these pages have content, if it's not the case, and you have duplicate content issues with these pages, you can use robots.txt to block the duplicate category page or robots tag in page.

4.
Keep one of each pages and block the other ones

5.
66 With the brand name. If the brand awareness is high remove it, but if you work on this awareness try to use the brand name in all your title tags with the 66 characters in mind.

I hope it helps

Bye</h2,...>**

The left navigation is the same at the top? If you have more categories it's important to follow these links.

How many products have the page... use pagination and a standar view for users/robots with 100 link aprox. and give the user the posibility of change this view, but the standar view for robots to index is the 100.

I hope it helps!

bye

NAP (name adress phone) is a strong factor. This is new for me, but I think the power to show 3 results when the user search for the adress...

I'm sorry, my aproach is to use 3 phone numbers and 3 diferent names...

If the content is the same, you can use te canonical tag to tell search engines what is the original content.

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html

Bye

The second one is the best, because sort URLs are more relevant than long ones, but the best practices are http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/url

Use - instead of _ to separate keywords

I think it's better write original content, always is the better way.

The conten to import is public? is it in another web? you can't obtain ranks for all these duplicate content.

If your URLs are sort, the best way is to use domain.com/cooking/lasagna.php, this is the best way to optimize for lasagna and target secondary keywords cooking related.

Bye.

Then ok,

if you add a little extra analysis you can extract a lot of valuable information out there.

It can be useful publish the tweets in a FAQ section or something like that and make a short and descriptive (and optimiced) text of that section... You can use the tweets like content.

It's only an idea.

Hi,

It's a good tool to get the external links of a web page. You can get a "scoring" of the value of the links with another metrics.

I still use Majestic SEO or OpensiteExplorer to do the same things.

Bye.

The .htaccess that have the information about the A domain is inside B hosting, so, you don't need anymore A hosting when you do all the redirections.

I think this post can help:

http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2067216/The-10-Step-Site-Migration-Process

bye

If these pages has external links pointing to theirs, the pages appears in SERPs, only the robots meta tag can blocked it.

Try to find these links and the anchor text...

This can help: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/robotstxt

bye

You can use semrush to get the PPC competitors or Adgooroo too.

No,

if you can use the old one, you can compare if all the migration tasks are ok. If you change the analytics account you can't compare you new traffic data with the old one.

Bye.

 Hi, 

I think that you want to track subdomains of the same domain, is'n it? Then you have to put:

_gaq.push(['_setDomainName',  '.example.com']);

into the analytics code (http://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html)

GWT: Yes, you only have to validate the property of the diferent subdomains, but you'll have the data for each one.

By, I hope it works for you!

Hi Shehzad,

I think it's more useful that you search in this web page: www.user-agents.org

Hi,

I hope it works for you!

Hi Ben,

I have the same problem, I think it can be the commas, but the way I choose to solve it is open it in numbers with a macbook pro...

If somebody know how to solve these problems, please respond to this post!

Hi,

with this parameter, google don't check all these pages, because google think that are duplicate pages (and it's correct).

I think is better to use the meta's. This way you have the control.

Bye.

And remember... keyword density is a myth!!!!

I'm agree with Stephen.

This post can help you http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/seo-myths-that-persist-keyword-density

Hi,

I use these markups for recipes.

I'm now waiting Google accept these pages but in the SERPs there are examples with cooking time and directions, pics, ...

Now I think that is no diference with or without markup, but it can be the base of the semantic web...

bye.

You must do a 301 redirect from non-www to the www version.

I think this post will help you (http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/canonicalization)

bye

Hi,

In my experience rel canonical if the product pages have an ID or session identification but are the same pages.

I only do 301 if the pages have different content os something like that.

Bye!

I think it can be used on cliking the +1 button!

Hi,

I think iProspect Spain can be the company that you're looking for. If you want to work with a freelance, I'm spanish and know the spanish market. If you are interesting, please feel free to contact me.

I know the both sides and I think in a bit of both. In the internal blog you can have more corporative information (and fresh content), and in the external blog you can point to the content with other aproach.

I hope this be helpfull.

Bye.

I prefer to use mycompany.com / fr / if there is a common point of mycompany.com, although the language is different.

If eachcontent is different, perhaps you would use the issue within the subdomain

eg issue.mycompany.com.

I'm thinking about the relevance transfer of subdomains and subfolders.

Regards.

Hi,

This post describes this issue: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-solve-keyword-cannibalization

Try to use a hub page for the most generic keyword and the rest of the post with more specific keywords.

And use the report card an the competitive research tool too!.

Bye.

Get links... try to get in related pages... :S

Well done John!!!

Hi,

then you have the robots.txt and the meta tag. I think its better the metatag (http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/robotstxt)

Have you WebMaster Tools in your web? you can test your robots.txt file (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449)

Yes, be careful with this.

Modify the .htaccess and redirect the example.com page to the www.example.com page.

Bye!
