Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Takeshi, Thanks for the link! I was wondering: Who installed the 301, it was not me, so its a server feature?... Its becuase I have two sites exactly with the same structure, but on different webspaces because of 2 languages and TLDs. On one there is no redirect detected by seomoz ... But on the other. When I use a subfolder e.g. Example.com/services/ each subfolder contains an index.php and I link to it just linking to ...services/ and not to ...services/index.php Hope thats the best practice?

Hi Andrew, it takes only a few hours!... (also websites that post news will not wait 3 months ;)) But I think it depends on your trust and page rank which helps to get new links indexed faster. I have my own domain more than 10 years, got very few but good backlinks and never found time to optimize my own site but at least it has a PR4. I lately tested how blogging helpes to rank for keywords and made very good experiences. At night I posted a short article, submitted it with WMT ...fetch as google... And the next morning the new page ranked already very well !! So upload your page and submit it to google. And check next morning... It worked for my WP Blog. Thats my experience Best regards, Holger

I take it from a practical point of view: If in doubt, leave it out : ), I took the www. away from all of my sites because it seems a relict from the beginning of the WWW and just makes the domain unnecessarily longer (alos when advertising it) So do not encounter any Problem with it. Sure, people can access my site via www. but will be redirected to the non-WWW address.

But I am curious if this can have any disadvantage, as well. Here is may be a helpful link: http://no-www.org/

best regards,
Holger

There are detected five 301 redirects on my site and I want to understand why this is happening? And is this important to fix?

http://domain.cl/subfolder      ---- redirects to ---->    http://domain.cl/subfolder/

What does this tell me "/"

I am very curious

Thanks for every answer

When I have a long article about a single topic with sub-topics I can make it user friendlier when I limit the text and hide text just showing the next headlines, by using expandable-collapsible div's.

My doubt is if Google is really able to read onclick textlinks (with javaScript) or if it could be "seen" as hidden text?

I think I read in the SEOmoz Users Guide, that all javaScript "manipulated" contend will not be crawled. So from SEOmoz's Point of View I should better make use of old school named anchors and a side-navigation to jump to the sub-topics?

(I had a similar question in my post before, but I did not use the perfect terms to describe what I really wanted. Also my text is not too long (<1000 Words) that I should use pagination with rel="next" and rel="prev" attributes.)

THANKS for every answer

Thanks Mike,

many useful advises.

Thanks Marcus,
I will also read this.

Thanks a lot, I will see it !!

I have a WordPress Blog since November last year (so I'm pretty new to WordPress) and the effects on ranking for some keywords are really good. So I thought tag clouds are good.

Crawl Diagnostics tell me now that I have too many onpage links for example my author page breaks the record: 256
http://inlinear.com/blog/author/inlinear/

I think thats because there are links for each word in the tag cloud generated ...

On this page (and many other pages) WordPress displays (teasers) the beginning of each post (read more  ...) producing duplicate content and even new canonical tags....

The page titles are also too long because I installed "All in One SEO Pack" and now this plugin and wordpress itself mixes titles together ...

But what can I do to avoid all this. Is there a PlugIn that can help... I think millions of blogs will have the same problems... I my blog yet has very few content.

Thanks for your answers :))

What is better from a SEO-Point of View:

I am building right now a website where the principal topic is Renewable Energies.

There will be a menu listing all kinds of Energy-types:

• Biogas
• CSP
• Biomass
• etc.

And now my question: Each Topic has about 800-1000 Words of unique content with sub-topics. I think its certainly good to have for each energy type one separate page. But I think its no a good Idea to split also the subtopics up to further sub-pages like:

• www.energy.com/renewable-energies-biomass.html
• www.energy.com/renewable-energies-biomass-eficiency.html
• www.energy.com/renewable-energies-biomass-market.html
• www.energy.com/renewable-energies-biomass-industries.html

as 1000 Words on one page may look like better higher quality content than making 3-4 pages with just 200 Words... talking about Biomass, but from several points of views.

So I think its better to put all about Biomass on one single-page and use a menu just to jump to the subtopics via anchor-tags.

Right?

Thanks Kate and Charles!

Meanwhile I found out whats the right term for my question: "Pagination" I read about using the rel="next" and rel="prev" attribute when paginating an article over different pages.
MY DOUBT: Sometimes you see single page paginated by using javaScript that hides text although all is in the page source, for better reading. Does Google like that or might think it could be hidden text with spamming purpose?

So I think using old school "named anchors" to divide text into topics (for text about 1000 words) is better than using javaScript that reaveals text via pagination or expand collapse.
