Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We recently launched a new site and I felt the need to redirect all of our old site URLs to the new site URLs. Our developers told me they would only be able to do about 1000 before it starts to bog down the site. Has anyone else came across this before? On top of that, with our new site structure, whenever our content team changes a title (which is more often than i had hoped), the URL changes. This means I'm finding i have many other redirects I need to put in place, but cant at the moment. Advice please??

Hello,

What does everyone use as a good keyword tool for keyword research?  I previously used Google's, but would like something better than what its become.

Thanks!

I am noticing a lot of 302 status codes on my site.  After inspecting the elements, I believe this is because a link on a certain page is 302ing to a secure page. So when it changes the URL from http to https its using 302.  Is this something important to change and would I change this to 301s?  There are thousands like this.

Thanks much!!!

We post our interactive catalog on our site.  Should i block this from the crawlers?  I notice this is creating a lot of pages with duplicate titles and i dont know if i should go through and rename all of these or just exclude them.

What is the best practice nowadays for linking to sister sites?  Should you do it, shouldn't you, and/or should you list them with no follows?  What about the reverse - having them link to us.  Is this bad for us in anyway? Should we have them no follow their link to us?

We are a distributor so manufacturers link to us as well, should we have them no follow their links?

Thanks!

Great, thanks!

We just went through a redesign and i had a lot of 301 redirects created. Looking over my crawl report in SEOmoz, i see over 14k 302 redirects with a message to change them to 301s. When confronting my IT team, I was assured these were all done with 301 status codes. Any advice on where to go from here and/or why I'm seeing this message in SEOmoz if its not true?

Thanks!

We are near the end of a site redesign and come to find out its in javascript and not engine friendly.  Our IT teams fix to this is show crawlable content to googlebot and others through the user agents.  I told them this is cloaking and I'm not comfortable with this.  They said after doing research, if the content is pretty much the same, it is an acceptable way to cloak.  About 90% of the content will be the same between the "regular user" and content served to googlebot. Does anyone have any experience with this, are there any recent articles or any best practices on this?

Thanks!

We are using the hash tag on our redesign for faceted search. So, for example it will look like this www.example.com#fun123. I was looking into how i could exclude my faceted search from my robots.txt, but i was recently told I wouldnt need to do this since Googlebot doesnt index the hash tags or anything after it anyway.  All of the articles I've read online do not give me a straight answer. Has google answered this one for certain?

Thanks!
