Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Luke,

These all are scraped pages according to Google Guideline - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2721312?hl=en&ref_topic=2371375

There are 2 ways to resolve this issue.

1: You will have to remove these kind of pages.
2: If these all are your product pages then you should include generic information about your product and unique description or you can say very exact description about your product.

Above 2 things only is the solution for your question.

I am working on Ecommerce website and getting issues with bad inbound links. I am quite excited to use Disavow links tools for clean up bad inbound links and sustain my performance on Google. We have 1,70,000+ inbound links from 1000+ unique root domains. But, I have found maximum root domains with low quality content and structure. Honestly, I don't want to capture inbound links from such websites who are not active with website and publishing. I am quite excited to use Disavow links tool. But, How do I predict quality of inbound links or root domains before using it? Is there any specific criteria to grade quality of inbound links?

Hello,

We have TLDs as below:
bannerbuzz.combannerbuzz.co.uk
bannerbuzz.com.au
bannerbuzz.ca

Within few days, We are moving in Magento Technology for 2 domains,
Bannerbuzz.com.au and Bannerbuzz.co.uk

We have purchased new plan, So IP address of those 2 domains will be changed. So my question is, It will impact on my current Ranking or not?

I have one project Canvas Champ and we have been running Google shopping campaign for this project and we are getting good visits from some of the keywords.

But our client has sorted out some keywords having high search volumes like “Canvas Prints” Now, We want to show our Product listing Ad for this keyword.

Let me make you aware about our past efforts:

We have set an auto target in Google Adwords for this particular product and make its bid around $8 and we have reviewed that product in listing for 2 days, but we didn’t see our Product Listing Ad on Google Search Result for this keyword.

So Now, My concern is that, How can we show our Product listing Ad on Google SERP for this particular keyword “Canvas Prints”?

Let me know if you have any confusion with my question.

It would be really appreciated if I would get valuable inputs for the same.

Thanks,

Hello Alan,

Thank you very much for sharing article. I am going to read it and make it happen with my two Google plus pages. If I will find out any issue over there so I will let you know about it.

Hello Alan,

I have similar issue like Marie. I can understand your answer. But, I would like to double check what I have concern with Google Plus Local Page & Google Plus Business Page.

I have claimed my business on Google Places and It shows me following URL when search on Google maps.

https://plus.google.com/108235988734456316513/about

Basically, I am quite excited and busy with my Google Plus Business Page.

https://plus.google.com/100698745523318366692/about

I have checked both pages for Moz and found similar pages which I have.

Moz Google Plus Local Page: https://plus.google.com/102108064038102307233/about

Moz Google Plus Business Page: https://plus.google.com/+SEOmoz/posts

Where I need to focus and spend my time? If I am working with my Google plus business page so Why Google is not land Google maps users to Google plus business page?

Really big confusion question for me. Can you please give me few more idea on it?

Google Analytics's default implementation ignores the anchor, ie, everything after #, so you need to pass through the value manually. _trackPageview can accept a 2nd parameter that allows you to pass pageview values manually.

Read more...and get your answer about "Tracking Hashtags & Querystrings in GA?"

You can use a nofollow Meta tag to instruct search engines not to follow (i.e., crawl) any outgoing links on the page. If you don't want to transfer any Google juice to it too.

Mobile text message service for Custom Alerts that set up under Analytics Intelligence is available in all countries worldwide?

Is it True or False? Can you please explain me..i am confuse about this answer.

Thanks guys..we are going to implement on our website..

Hello guys..thanks for your answer.

Option No. 2 is the best fit for it. Analytics data will remain in account for at least the past 25 months. Anna from the Google Analytics team said, "data is stored for at least 25 months," when using Google Analytics.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your quick reply..it really informative.

Hello All,

How long analytics keep the data for one website?

1. at least two years
2. at least 25 months
3. other

I guess that they guarantee at least 25 months, but it might be more.
Anyone has any other suggestion?

Thanks,

Hello folks,

We are eCommerce web design and Development Company and we give do follow links of our website to every projects which we have done with specific keywords. So now the concern is we are seeing huge amount of back-links are being generated from single root domain for particular keyword in webmaster tools.

So what should be the best way to practice this? Should we give no follow attribute to it or can use our company logo with link?

I am working on one e-commerce website where we have added 300+ pages to target different local cities in USA. We have added quite different paragraphs on 100+ pages to remove internal duplicate issue and save our website from Panda penalty.

You can visit following page to know more about it. And, We have added unique paragraphs on few pages. But, I have big concerns with other elements which are available on page like Banner Gallery, Front Banner, Tool and few other attributes which are commonly available on each pages exclude 4 to 5 sentence paragraph.

I have compiled one XML sitemap with all local pages and submitted to Google webmaster tools since 1st June 2013. But, I can see only 1 indexed page by Google on Google webmaster tools.

http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local

http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local/US/Alabama/Vinyl-Banners

http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local/MO/Kansas-City/Vinyl-Banners

and so on...

Can anyone suggest me best solution for it?

Hi Matt,

Thank you very much for two valuable suggestions. I am agree with you. We have added product specification in form of paragraph.

Now, We are planning to compile set of content for each and every product page for good user experience. It may create some romance on product pages.

I will consider your URL length related input in next product import.

If you have any additional inputs or suggestions for me? If yes so It will fabulous for me. Because, I have visited your website and You have done great work over there.

This is biggest reason to love SEOmoz... Right platform to communicate more with E-Commerce marketing guys... just like you!!

We are selling same product on our store.

We have done lot of work on Office Chairs category & product page.

http://www.vistastores.com/professional-air-grid-managers-office-chair-with-black-mesh-seat-5500.html

But, We are getting issue to capture maximum impressions and clicks on product page due to using content from manufacturer website.

Hi Matt,

Honestly, You don't need to say sorry for it. I am really happy to read very straight answer.

If unique description is only solution so, I will happy to go with it. But, I want to double make sure before jump on it.

Hi,

Need urgently help, one of our website http://www.bannerbuzz.com keywords ranking is down suddenly since 6-11-2012, even we don't have done any changes on the website & we were on top on many keywords.

We have done only one change recently is we have moved our website from shared server to dedicated server on last 21st October & we can see some traffic fluctuation after to redirecting from shared server to dedicated server, also website load time has been increase in Google Analytic, so it that reason to get rank down suddenly?, because all keywords has been down.

We have also some affiliate sites like bannerbuzz.ca, bannerbuzz.co.uk & bannerbuzz.com.au which design and coding structure is as same as bannerbuzz.com, so is that a problem (Duplication issue)?

We have tried to find out the solution for the same, but we didn't get any proper reason to get rank down suddenly.

Can it happened due to dedicated server which we have moved recently or Google has changed anything in algorithm?

Can we put website in Google reconsideration to know proper reason about the website?

Following are the keywords on which we loose the ranking.

Banners
Vinyl Banners
Custom Banners
Vinyl Lettering
Custom Signs
Car Decals

We were on top for above all keywords.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
