If it's six months old - they yes - it might be a reason for concern as users might be set to the old domain. Can you check and see if you are blocking with robots.txt the old domain some how ? Since if that's the case the bot can't reach the old pages and see the redirection and if those pages are already in the index they will stay that way.

Alternatively check the logs and see if google bot did hit those pages in the last 6 mo - although I doubt it didn't - it's safe to check.

Cheers !

Hi,

Google's crawler is fetching the source code. if the content in the slider is visible in the source code - then the content is visible to google. There are a few "extra" factors related with the "real-estate" of the content that comes into play - but the bottom line is : if it's in the source code, the Google can see it.

Hope it helps.

You can have the link as a "do follow" but no bot will notice it anyway.

Hi,

I don't see the reason but if there is one and you need that done - there is a way.

You just create a small box iframe. Within this iframe you have an html independent page that will be a noindex, no follow and you can place the link / links there.

Those will be visibile / accessibile by the user - it looks part of the page but on view source you won't be able to find those links and since the separate HTML is not indexable / crawlable those links are not visibile for any bot.

Hope it helps - that is if I understood the question right

Cheers.

Hi,

If you are talking about one or only a few sites then it's easy.

Just build a disavow file as there is no down side to that . The disavow with domain:domainname.com (not individual pages) and upload it via Web master Tools. After sumbiting the file - send a reconsideration request explaining the situation and mentioning the disavow file. You should be safe after that.

Alternatively - but to be honest I don't see the reason why not going with the first option - is to return a 404 if the referral is that domain.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

There is no tool better (or worst) then copyscape on the market free or payed. However copyscape is really really cheap - with a few bucks as credits you can go on for a long time.

The alternative is to do a small script that will check portions of the text in Google directly - but if you have a lot of queries you will get jammed (google won't work for your IP for some time - this after several capchea code requests though) by google - been there done that

Hope it helps.

I think this video from Matt Cutts can help with this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHSqLYUPq8w

In a nutshell: pipe is ok as a separator and it dosen't really matter if it's glued or with spaces but you should do it the way it's easier for the users to read - and that will be with spaces.

Hope it helps.

Looks like google dosen't really like this one: http://screencast.com/t/1nwsdABxQv

So I would't put any hopes to get some love from any links from there ...

However for sure you will get some love phone calls from a lot of companies trying to push services and products

Hi,

There are tools that you can use - though for close 50k pages is harder to crawl. Best bet is the Web master tools count - although is not 100% exact either.

The site:domain is a good indicator but it's generated "on the fly" but it will show you a better result if you go "deeper" and click on page 10-20 and so on.

However right now it looks like there is an issue with site:domain. for more info see: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-site-command-cluster-16829.html

Cheers.
