Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As long as you use valid HTML, use proper tags for titles and every section, and don't make the HTML size grow too much, it won't damage your rankings.

Hello.

Don't panic: people won't see those results. You probably saw it because you have Evernote Clipper in your PC. This is a function of the Web Clipper Chrome Extension preferences. You saw this format of SERP.

To avoid seeing these results on your Chrome view, uncheck the box next to "When enabled, searching the web on supported search engines will also be performed on your Evernote account."

Is it a 301 redirect? You won't rank that page as all the rank will flow to destination page.

As far as you also include the name="description" and its value in the "content" attribute, having an ID on a Meta Tag won't probably avoid it from being correctly read by Google althought it is not W3C compliant. According to HTML specification, the meta element cannot have that ID attribute: The only valid attributes for meta tags are:

• name = name [CS]
      This attribute identifies a property name. This specification does not list legal values for this attribute.
• content = cdata [CS]
      This attribute specifies a property's value. This specification does not list legal values for this attribute.
• scheme = cdata [CS]
      This attribute names a scheme to be used to interpret the property's value (see the section on profiles for details).
• http-equiv = name [CI]
      This attribute may be used in place of the name attribute. HTTP servers use this attribute to gather information for HTTP response message headers.

Also, you can include:
    lang (language information), dir (text direction)

Do you know why do you include that ID and how to remove it if it has no use?

Another cause which is specially common in display networks -not too much in adwords- is that some of the pages which are serving your ads are showing your site with popunder scripts. This allows the site to create the affiliation cookie without the user noticing it.

In your case, if it is based only in 17 visits can only be the natural reason: people are not interested in your content for that keyword and leave too soon, as Ryan says.

When managing a popular ecommerce, coupon pages are a natural source of traffic. Those pages make some linkbuilding for you, although you don't submit coupons to them.

If you have other type of links apart from the coupon sites, I would not give too much importance to this issue. Just check if some of those sites could be seen as spammy to ask for a link removal.

Maybe you could index your galleries, which show the small thumbnail so that it does not weight those 7mb you talk about, and link with the a href to the full image size.

Other option is to keep working as you do, and manually insert a title and a small description for each image page. This would definitely improve your SEO for those images, but obviously it is a manual work which I don't know if you will be able to do depending on the volume of images you process.

It is a technical issue with your ecommerce platform. Definitely it is not good to have that kind of different URLs.

Canonicals are helpful with pages where you cannot do anything but having two similar pages on your site, or when there are almost identical pages. But when dealing with such an important page on an Internet project like the product page on a ecommerce site, you should definitely take action and manage to have unique URLs for every product, not depending of the path the visitor follows to reach that page.

It will become difficult to measure conversion rates or any other KPI on Analytics, and also will become a problem in SEO, with so many different pages to link.

You just have to type link:http://www.yourdomain.com/whateverpageyouwanttocheck into Google's Search Box and you will get a list of pages which link to that page.

Hello.

Before starting from scratch, try to optimize Drupal. You have some simple things to do which speed Drupal amazingly:

• Go to Administer » Site configuration » Performance page, enable the option ""Aggregate and compress CSS files." and "Aggregate Javascript Files".
• On the same page, activate the cache: "Cache page for anonymous users" and "Cache blocks".

Try if it helps while you find the source of the problem.

There are a lot of factors which could have caused this. Without a background of your last actions, links, changes... or at least the domain name, it is impossible to give any valid answer.

Too generic question, sorry

More than 3 competitors is a must nowadays, when using a paid PRO version this is by far one of the weakest limitations on your wonderful service.

That kind of behaviour is really strange. Are you always searching from the same computer, and always logged off -or at least always in the same Google Account? Seems like you are getting some kind of customized experience based on your geolocalization, browsing history, Google Account or something like that.

For checking your ranks, always use an external tool like MOZ.

The problem is that you are implementing a canonical from all those parametrized pages to http://mathematica-mpr.com/news/, and the content in that page -an empty result list- is not the same as in the original link you provide in your post -which show article results.

Canonical is used to show a preferred URL for a page, when there are two or more URLs which lead to the same content. After implementing the canonical, you have to make sure you are not linking to the "bad" url or it will never disappear from Google's SERP.

As your content is not the same on both pages, and the old URL is still accessible from your site, you are not fullfill the requirements to make those URL disappear.

I think that if you don't want those index to appear on the SERPs as depending on the search options it will lead to very common pages, and it is almost impossible to identify clearly a canonical reference for them, the best option is to add to robots.txt a line which blocks those parameters, and you will end with that problems.

Disallow: /news/?facet=*

This will remove your search results from the index, ending with duplication problems. Please make sure this is what you want, or if you prefer to keep those results although you continue having duplication issues.

Hello.

This is a common problem for us working on ecommerce. Every filter, ordenation widget and any other options you give the customer to browse your site on a more comfortable way, becomes a pain in the ass with the duplicated content for search engines.

Apart from implementing all the canonical tags as you say you did, you could also take a look on removing as much parameters as you can in Webmaster Tools (specially those dealing with ordenation or number of items shown). At last, you should also decide if you want to avoid bots from indexing those special filter combinations so that you can focus on the categories page. You give the example of pagination, but also filtering by manufacturer. The option we take, and which I think is the better, is to add a "noindex" meta tag to those kind of pages, and only indexing the main page in each category. If we think a filter is important as a keyword (for example, "adidas soccer boots" for category "soccer boots" and brand filter adidas), what we do is create an special description for that page so that it is no longer duplicate content: if we are not able to manually create that description, we just add the noindex tag as I said before and we forget about that page on search engines.

If it is a personal blog, it is a correct way of implementing those meta tags, as publisher and author is the same. If it is a site with several authors, I would change the publisher TAG so that it starts pointing your Google+ page, and the author tag pointing to your profiles.

So you will benefit of both tags.

Removing them from sitemap will not make them disappear from Google Index. A sitemap is a tool which allows the spider to discover new pages, but one indexed they won't disappear from the index just for removing them.

If you don't want them to be indexed, you can remove then using Google Search Console, and going to "Optimization"/"Remove URLs". It is faster than including the noindex metatag.

If they contain just a link as in your example, I would remove them without any doubt.

Which URLs do you include in your sitemap? Could you check if you try to index
https://www.zenory.com.au/psychic-readings/psychic-readings or https://www.zenory.com.au/psychic-readings ?

The first one is the URL you link at menus, but it has a 301 redirect to the second URL format (and the same for the rest of main options). That is quite a bad idea. Please make sure you include the correct address on the sitemap and not the 301 redirect one. That could be causing the problem of Google Webmaster Tools not showing that page in your sitemap as indexed, as although final page is properly indexed in google (as you can check if you look up for site:www.zenory.com.au), GWT is not able to match both addresses.
