Hello Moz people,

Is it better for SEO to have a URL path like this:

flowersite.com/anniversary_flowers/dozen_roses

OR

flowersite.com/dozen_roses

Is it better to have the full trail of pages in the URL?

Hi Sarah

Moving forward it will be easier for you to start managing your Google+ for business pages from your Google+ Page. Once you have made the changes to your Google+ for business pages they will be saved.  Sorry to hear about the loss of information during the migration. We have had similar issues with a few of our customers.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply, Trouble is I'm not sure that I can convince the web designers to implement a change like that.

Really appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Hi Moz Community,

I have a customer who has a blog that is FULL of great unique content however the blog resides at a URL that differs from the main site.  Eg.  blog.mywebsite.com  Instead of www.mywebsite.com/blog .  With the latest Google updates I fear that this may be hurting our web ranking.  In addition the web blog is a carbon copy of the main URL.

My Question:  I am going to schedule a meeting with the web designers,  How vociferously should I argue for having them move the blog onsite and write 301 redirects for the current blog site?

I have started working on a website that it written in JAVA. It has 26 URL's But because of the way it is written it is all shown on the home page code and does not have the ability to add unique title and description tags. Is there a work around for SEO on websites like this aside from adding content?  I was wondering if there is a way to submit a sitemat with title and description tags.

Any advice?

Are there any glaring issues that I am missing with my site?  I am building links, and growing the profile but had seen a drop in rankings a couple of months ago.  Is this do to a site issue or am I just missing something?

Any help would be great.

"Our page http://www.audiobooksonline.com/Cell_Stephen_King_unabridged_compact_discs.html has ONLY one review however the MOZ crawl is picking up fifteen different page addresses. Evidently the Review module is creating all these page addresses."

You may want to take a look in you Google Webmaster Tools and see which pages appear there for duplicate page titles.  I think your website might have a :/sortby or /rankby feature that produces those extra pages.  If that is the case you can set up "URL Parameters" field in webmaster tools that will tell Google not to count those as pages.

I hope this helps.

For me,  its Google's keyword tool.  It gives you estimates on volume of search's and suggests keywords you may not have thought of.  <cite>https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool</cite>‎

I have a flower delivery website and flower shop in Edmonton.  When I set us the website I used my office address and not the Flower shop Address.  We are moving now and I am moving the Website and changing my map listing to be at the flower shop now but the flower shop already has a google map listing.  What is the best way to move this business into the flower shop without being punished by Google?  Should I delete the current map listing at the flower shop or should i Just change the address and website of the flower shops listing to my website?

Sorry I know I have not explained it well but its kinda complicated.  Any help would be great as I just want to make sure I do this right.

This is my map and website listing.  https://plus.google.com/112887922864576573528/about?gl=ca&hl=en

This is the flower shop's website and listing. https://plus.google.com/101712543043690197786/about?gl=ca&hl=en

Thanks

I have just started working on this website www.wallybuysell.com  and I am wanting to get some feedback on how to fix a problem I have encountered.  When I search for my business on Google maps there are 2 listings there.  One lists the wrong website and the other one I can make changes too.  Also when I search for the business in google local there is another page.  Here are the pages:

https://plus.google.com/108578438913962655516/about?gl=ca&hl=en   I can edit this one.

https://plus.google.com/114506363488296249715/about?gl=ca&hl=en  This one I can not edit but seems to use pictures in my Google places listing.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/104789849006671458564/about   This listing is asking me to send verification code.

How do I fix this ?  How is this happening?

Would love some help on this one.

I am trying to SEO a website that was built years ago and uses Header tags for design.  The site must have 25

and

tags used for design purpose. Is there any way to work around this problem?  Perhaps a code that tells Google to ignore these as Headers?  The web designers say that they are looking to fix the problem sometime this summer but you never know if that means it a month away or years away.  I really want to help this website but I believe that the Header tags are one of the reasons that his site does not show in the top 100  rankings for any keywords.  Any help would be great.

Thank you so much,  I really appreciate all your help on this.  Great advice and knowledge!

Thank you for your response.  There are no warnings in Webmaster of penalties.

What would be my best recourse to fix the Spam link problem?

Also in today's Google,  what is considered a spam link?

Should I just link to his business name, or to a Keyword like Edmonton Real Estate Agent?

Is there anything I can do about the expired link pages?

Hi,  I just took over the SEO for a friend of mine's website. Is this website being punished by Google?  It has a strong link score, the homepage needs work as far as Key wording goes but it does not appear in Google's top 100 for any keyword.  I am not sure that the last SEO company did some harm.  Can anyone give me some tips on getting my friend back into the mix?

Hi there and thank you so much for the detailed response.   I have tried to implement the changes that you posted above.   I can not get the www.51blocks.com to work as we are in Canada and it does not seem to work for us northerners.

I have reworded the content of the home page to read more fluently.   and am in the works of rewording all my title tags as well.

As for the suite #205  I do put it in the dashboard of Google places but it just doesn't seem to show on my +page.

I am encounter a problem with Google not fully recognizing that I have a Facebook page. I am pretty sure it is public and I have a few likes but I just can't seem to get Facebook to give me more credit for the page that we have done.

I have had an Audit of my website done by the BDC (Business Development bank of Canada)  And is showed that I should be doing better than I am for Local search terms.  Does your company offer in depth Audit?  Getting organic traffic in Edmonton Alberta really means a lot for me and my shop.

My website is www.canadafloraldelivery.com.  I just can't seem to get my webpage ranked well for the keyword " Flowers Edmonton "  .  Also I can't seem to get my Google local listing on the map for many keywords.    Is there something obvious that I am missing?   Any help would be very appreciated.
