Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Screaming frog doesn't create redirects. You need to use a mod_redirect or something similar.

Maybe, the best option for your problem it's creating a database of old pages -> new pages, and redirect all connections for unknown pages to these page.

As i've told at first post and anothers,

1º: I have a failure of duplicate content, detected on first crawl. The dup content comes from a parameter on all pages (?login). I've solvented it making this parameter a link to main page. This change resolves the duplicate content on all site.

2º: On first crawl the system itself detects 404's. The do not exist. I haven't change anything to resolve 404's. If you see the urls, from my screenshots, they are strange URLs, because they detect the 404 on urls as style of index.php/project.php. This page doesn't have mod_rewrite or anything similar, because this, these URL's are impossible.

3º: I've tried to download the crawl diagnostic. On one file i doesn't have the referrer URL, on another, they doesn't have the 404 ones.

I'm trying to know why the system detects this pages when they doesn't exist and aren't linked from anyother site. If i have something bad, then, i have something VERY bad and i need to resolve right now. If not, i think the system detects some incorrect at my page but i cannot understand why.

That's worries me a lot, because, this page and campaign are a test. It's my personal web and i have only a few pages and a few links. But if i can't understand the results from this page. How can i understand / read the results from my best page, who haves more than 10.000 pages, multiple domains, social medias, and more?

Yes, that's correct.

At first time, revise your content, page title, page description and others to verify they match your desired keyworkds.

Think, today the meta keywords it's useless. You need to have your keyword present on your content, that's the more important thing.

Also, if some of your keywords are present on page title, description, or in-page titles (h1, h2, h3...) that's better too. If the keyword are at the url, best too.

If your ranking it's too low, revise your page for some things: First, your page are W3C ok (You can use the W3C page check), and then, use some free tool to evaluate keywords from page. Also, think, if your page are lack of content that's bad (You need a minimal quantity of content for get a better ranking).

Also, do not forget to avoid the use of javascript / documents (Word, pdf), and flash, because they all are external, on some cases, google can get it, but at another cases not. It's better if your content (With your keywords) are present on the target page.

I cannot recommend you a percentage of presence of a keyword, i think that's a very questionable thing. I personally use about 1-2% of keyword presence on the pages to get some rankings, and a good content between this keywords (I try to use them on the content, without force their appears).

If their title matches your title it's for seo purposes, i think. Be sure to have your brand name on your title to have any difference.

Your competitor also can change newly the title to have the brand name, but because they doesn't have this on the page url, probably that's be bad for him.

But i cannot see anymore... I think the title it's important, but, it's more important the content. Check your competitor content for if it's stealing your own. And be sure google has cached your content already, for mark their one as duplicate.

Yes. Link analysis shows pages as: comusys.php/comusys.php (Who, obviously, doesn't exist).

On crawl analysis CSV i cannot get these pages. You can also get the analysis from your own open site explorer and view these pages doesn't appear.

And, now, Link analysis doesn't show any 404.

I've attached some examples of my campaign. I cannot understand why they are detecting this.

Any help will be apreciated.

Thanks,

In the crawl test there isn't have the 404 errors.

I've requested the CSV and downloaded it. But i cannot see the page pointing to the error, i can only view the error:

That's the report:

<colgroup><col width="392"> <col width="28"></colgroup>
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/chat/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/docs/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/down/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/foto/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/news/index.php?news=1 | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/project/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/ro/index.php | 404 |
| http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/who/index.php | 404 |

Obviously there's all erroneous, the section "who" isn't inside "project" one. All links are valid without the part of /project.

I cannot understand why system are reading these links, on page, the links works ok.

Yes... all 404 can hurt your SEO campaign, because even if they doesn't count for points (i don't know these), at least the spider ignores a bit more or crawl your page more slowly. Because this, you need to get away all your possible 404 errors.

Think, a empty page can have something. You can use a default text, or use a noindex tag while the page are empty, or simply make a standard profile and link to them all empty pages with a rel=canonical (I think there's the best option). But having more pages, even with low quantity of text, that's better who i doesn't have the pages itself, and, very much better than have 404 errors.

Also, think one more thing. Even more changes have your page, more indexed you're get and low times between indexing. There's another reason to have the pages working, even when they doesn't have any custom info. Because the creation of the page are a change, and customization of them are another change too.

At first time, you need to wait some time to get valuable data. When they starts to appear, get some suggestion of keywords, and wait for crawl stats. At this point you will have some to do.

Also, one of the best option it's compare your page with your competence, and check their links with OSE to get an idea for your link building campaign.

Try to re-do the crawl test. This can be a puntual problem.

For getting more info, check your server log. Try to enter the page before re-do the test for verify all it's working.

Also, if you can, check if your hosting is blocking some user-agents (question it to them) for reduce traffic.

The option to replace logo isn't available for suscriptions of $99. You need to have a better suscription.

You can wait, the decission is from google, but i agree with the last response. Make google knows they doesn't want to cache / see this page with robots or another method, and then, wait. There's no more options for somethink like that.

Have you checked webmaster tools from google? They can give some information to you.

Any 404 is bad for SEO. Make a little page for the profile without data, and you can gain a lot of SEO even if your pages doesn't have content.

Even if the links have a nofollow, google follows them to see what is in the other side. For this reason, avoid ALWAYS you can to have a link to a 404 page.

I think it's better to use the robots. With that, you doesn't have problem if someone links to your page.

For better security you can add a meta for this question.

But, as always, it's the spider option to relay on robots, links or metas. If your page it's private, make it private really and put it below a validation system. If you doesn't do it, some "bad" spiders can read and cache your content.

Why you not add the analytics code to the mobile site too? The actual market of mobile phones runs JS without problems.

You're viewing this information probably because you doesn't have defined your lang in the html tag.

And, also, you can change the lang of the page reading the lang of the client. But this doesn't have any effect on SEO.

I think, if you want to be crawled for all the world, you need to get another domain (Neutral one, as .com for example), and redirect all visits who doesn't have user-lang en-uk to these domain. You will mantain your actual score and start to make a new one too.

Google normally gives some priority on local market to local domains.

Your another tab, it's a different page or a hidden div?

In the first case, they not affect seo, simply you have two different pages (Even if it's the same page with different parameters) collecting SEO. At the second case, your reviews will be in the main page, pointing to the seo of it.

I think the second idea it's the better one, but i cannot know if google can penalize you for have a hidden div. As programmer, i think the best idea it's having all the structure on some divs, and change visibility with JS on a button. That's can be crawled (Because content are here) and the charging times are better, if you doesn't have too many hidden content.

I think, this links are neccesary. Do not forget the main reason: You need to tell your users you have this page. And they doesn't know it if you doesn't have a link.

Different one it's if google ignores the link, but i do not think who they can be a timed bomb. As i've told, these links are neccesary.

For example, if you have your page in two languages on two domains, you have the link to the another lang in the another domain. That's black hat seo? I do not think so.

Google Analytics can share or get the account itself to another user. You can use this process for have access to your stats in both accounts, or move the stats to the gmail one. But this is only valid if you have only this property on the account. You cannot get a property to another user, you need to give the entire account. Also, a google account can have multiple analytics account (The first number, for example, GA-XXXXXX), and a analytics account can have multiple properties (The second number, for example, GA-XXXXXX-1). You can give access to another user to any property or a complete account, but you can only give the entire account to another user (For changing owner).

Webmaster tools, also, allows multiple users to have access to their stats. You only need to authorize the another account, or validate as a separate one.

There's no difference at SEO level for using one or two google accounts. If you like to get all your services in only one account, you can only do it with your gmail account, because you cannot move or authorize gmail for other users. Also, you can mantain the two accounts, and access to all services with gmail one, because services as adwords, analytics, adsense, webmaster and others leave you the option to authorize more users.

There's no reason to leave index.php in different URIs, simply i have defined all links with their name, for example, for a root page from a section, the uri are defined as /project/index.php, not /project/ only.

I can clear them, or leave it. There isn't the problem. My problem are the moz stats returning non-linked inexistent addresses, and i doesn't know why.

Also, i've detected a failure who makes moz to find duplicated pages (A erroneous link with only a parameter) and i've corrected already. But i cannot find the reason for the inexistent pages.

I have a campaign in moz pro to my personal webpage for testing purposes and also a bit of learning. But i have a question:

On link -> Link analysis i can see this:

http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/chat/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/docs/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/down/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/foto/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/news/index.php?news=1 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/project/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/ro/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/who/index.php 404Obviously all these address doesn't exist. There are links on the page project/index.php linking to, for example, /chat/index.php.How can i resolve this problem on the stats? There's something bad really on the page? As i can see all links on the page are working properly.

That's not something bad really. You can have some duplicates titles, but, think the title it's one of the factors for getting your keywords. If you have duplicates titles, you have some pages searching the SEO for the same keyword. But it's isn't bad, i think.

Different is if you have a complete webpage, with the same title at all pages, and title doesn't have relation with content. That's really bad, i think.

Also, for google duplicated content it isn't the same title, it's the same content. If your page is a forum, i can understand you have the same title for similar posts, but they content aren't the same.

Any javascript effor is invalid for SEO. Google doesn't read them.

You can try to make it on PHP, it's not complex, search your an replace with meta desc=$var and <title>$var2 (and, also, </head>). Then you can set the meta desc and page title with a variable in your code, and then this effor effectively have SEO value, because when the search engine fetch the page they have title and desc.</p> <p>Maybe this is more work than JS form, but also it's better for SEO and web itself (The JS run takes time on client side).</p></title>

You can make a redirect directly without code in apache, with the RedirectModule. The code are as simple as:

<virtualhost mydomain.com:80="">ServerName mydomain.com
        RedirectPermanent / http://www.newdomain.com/
        DocumentRoot /your/www/root/</virtualhost>

With this apache creates a 301 for every requested page in mydomain.com to www.newdomain.com. This also can be good for using www.domain.com instead of domain.com and avoid duplicates.

But, as i've said by other people, rebranding is always a bad idea. I can recomend you to try to mantain the old URL, and make a new one for the new brand. You can try to get some SEO to the new web with links on the old, and have these webs with shigtly different content. This possible is the better idea.

The problem are, feedburner get new posts from the rss itself, and this RSS doesn't work now.

The solution still be finded on wordpress or the server itself, feedburner it's okay.

No, that's not true.

Think SASS or SCSS are processed at server-side, and get a normal CSS stylesheet to the client.

SASS or SCSS can help you to manage your CSS files and classes, but you need to pre-process them to generate the final CSS sended to the client. If the final product doesn't change, seo will not change too.

You tried to see the graph of cached pages? Maybe google "forgot" your pages and if they doesn't have pages, then, also doesn't send search.

I think you can send a new sitemap, then, review all 404 errors google are returning (if you have), and use siteexplorer to analize your links in search of possible spam links.

Your local ranking, if your page are correctly oriented, are always better than global ranking. But think, if you doesn't have nothing of global ranking, the local ranking also start as zero.

Then, yes, your global ranking affect the local one. A good global seo gives you good global ranking, and then, promotes your local ranking.

Have you reviewed your server blog? As i can see on your server, the RSS address get a 304 not modified even when i try to full-reload page. The problem it's outside WP i think, you have something telling who the RSS are not modified.
