Hi there. We are using Hootsuite and it's working very well for us. Why do you not like it?

Hi again. I've seen it. Quite honestly I disagree with absolutes being a priority. The arguments, presented in that WBF don't really work for me against the pain in development (I believe she mentioned even more drawbacks). Also, from my experience I have not seen any (at all) benefits in any way (SEO or loading speed) from having absolutes, rather than relatives.

Hi there.

So, you have all your links absolute? not relative? Gotta be painful to manage..

Well, anyway, to answer your question - the only bad part about not changing links to https would be that extra redirect. If your servers are good, fast and very reliable, nobody would probably even notice it. I would check loading speeds though, especially for mobiles.

Personally, I would change all links to relative and never worry about stuff like this. If you want to keep them absolute, then yes, I recommend changing them all. Just for clean conscious sake

About find-replace. That would depend on how your website is built. I assume you're talking about wordpress? Then yes, you should be able to. As long as you know where to search.

Cheers.

Hello, my friend.

Good question you got here. Made my brain leftovers to spin.

Anyway, here is my understanding (and I can be completely wrong).

As Google always says, don't treat Google bot differently from human users, also, they say don't play a/b testing on him. At the same time Google Analytics' a/b testing is working like this: when you visit page for the first time, you get "normal" page, than, based on chance of a/b testing, you either gonna stay or be redirected after loading the page (this one is important) to test page. After this you are being assign a cookie, so every recurring visit you are not "played" with testing until test is complete. Then all cookies are removed and everybody is served whatever version of a/b testing "won".

So, putting three hypothesizes above together, my understanding is that Google bot is being treated the same way - it gets "assigned" (or simply served the original) a version of the page on the first visit. This makes sure that there is no confusion by Google which version of tested page to index.

I think as long as you keep this in mind, there won't be any troubles for SEO.

Hope this makes sense and helps you.

Cheers.

Hi there.

It seems to be that there is something wrong with javascript. Because it seems like piece of JS code. However, even if i remove void part, the page still doesn't exist. You sure it's just "void(0)" problem?
