Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Screaming Frog does do this. It has been what we use to find missing alt's now. I think it would be a great thing for Moz to add to the crawl report, or do a crawl for this specific reason.

Lawrence - you can use the crawl report to see meta description info, titles, response codes and more.

We have hundreds of domains that we are either doing nothing with, or they are very shallow. We do not have the time to build enough quality content on them since they are ancillary to our flagship sites that are already in need of attention and good content.

My question is...should we redirect them to the flagship site? If yes, is it ok to do this from root domain to root domain or should we link the root domain to a matching/similar page (gymfranchises.com to http://www.franchisesolutions.com/health_services_franchise_opportunities.cfm)? Or should we do something different altogether?

Since we have many to redirect (if this is the route we go), should we redirect gradually?

Thanks for the input Mat and Michael. Unfortunately it is not a question of necessity or vanity now...too late! We have 301 redirects in so, fingers crossed, we will come through ok.

We are currently in the process of moving our site from a mixed case structure

i.e -> <sitename>/franchise/childrens-child-care/party/Bricks-4-Kidz/company-information.cfm</sitename>

to all lowercase

i.e -> <sitename>/franchise/childrens-child-care/party/bricks-4-kidz/company-information.cfm.</sitename>

In order to maintain as much link juice as possible, should we be using 301 redirects to point from the old to the new?

or would it be more advantageous to wait for the next crawl and the link juice would also be somewhat maintained even though the all the upper case letters have been converted to lowercase?

I see that around mid November 2013 a handful of my sites pages dropped off of Google completely. It was around the data refreshes in November, and while everyone says it doesn't effect that much I was wondering if anyone knew if it could knock some of my pages out of the rankings for a specific keyword.

Note - we had previously held muliple listings for different pages on our site for this particular keyword. Google kept the highest ranking and knocked the lower ones off. See attached image of our keyword ranking history to see what I mean.

I am looking to find all the missing alt tags on my site at once. I have a FF extension that use to do it page by page, but my site is huge and that will take forever.

Thanks!!

Do you have any advice as to what I can do about it? It seems to "fix" itself and then default back to what you are seeing (on and off). thanks!!!

No they are not new. I am seeing very wacky things with the listing in the last few days. Today it is back to normal.

So you don't think it is a problem related to keyword ranking drops?

Do you think this is temporary?

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my site listings. Google is only displaying my title and url - no description. You can see it when you search for Franchises for Sale. The site is www.franchisesolutions.com.

Why could this happen? Also I saw a big drop off in a handful of keyword rankings today. Could this be related?
