RE: Page Not Found Help!
Hi!, Thank you!
I can't seem to find the links in the posts that are not working correctly. I do see that the tumblr widget link is not correct. I think i might need to reinstall that widget as it's code seems to have gottten messed up in the move.
In GWT i see where the bad links are linked from, but then when I go to that page I can't find the bad link?
How to I find them to fix them?
Thanks!!!!!!!

Page Not Found Help!
Hi,
I recently (about 2 months ago) moved a blog from a separate domain name over to my eCommerce site to help with marketing. http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog.
I seem to have gotten it all to work right, but I'm getting tons of 404 errors and they all have " in them for example: http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/”http://www.moondoggieinc.com/custom_dog_tanks_and_tees.php”
I'm not sure how this happened of how to fix it, but there are about 250 pages like this.
I know how to redirect them all with a 301 in htaccess, but Im not sure if that's the appropriate course to fix this or if that's just putting a patch on something that's causing a more major issue. Or do i just need to write 250 301 redirects?
Thanks!

RE: I dont know what happened?!? Help!
When I look in Bing webmaster tools, I don't see anything they suggested w/i parameters? I dont see any parameters set...?
It doesn't appear they changed anything, but I might not be looking in the right place...
I attached a screenshot, but i dont think they set any parameters?
Thanks you so much!

RE: I dont know what happened?!? Help!
I just checked Bing webmasters tools and found this message from the day that I started not getting hits from bing or yahoo.
It was the only message I had in bing webmasters:
Query parameters for normalization found on moondoggieinc.com
Site: http://moondoggieinc.com/Date: 8/26/2012Priority: LowBing has detected new parameters in your URLs. Please visit the Ignore URL Parameters feature in the Configure My Site section of Bing Webmaster Tools to review the suggested parameters. If you are certain that a suggested parameter does not change or determine the page content, you can add it to the list of parameters to ignore by clicking on the suggested parameter. This helps reduce duplicate URLs for the same content and allows Bing to crawl and index more relevant URLs, potentially improving the overall traffic for your site.I had parameters set in google for almost 2 months now, are they picking up on that?

RE: I dont know what happened?!? Help!
In looking at it ALL my traffic from yahoo and bing went away... I was receiving about 50 hits a day from those engines and over the past 2 days I have received none.
How can that happen?

RE: Htaccess help... I moved my blog from a seperate domain to newdomain.com/blog
When I put in your code I get a 500 error? and if I put in JayD's code the site comes back up but there's not a visible redirect.
I know this sounds sill but I'm putting this into the htaccess of the old domain correct?
Should i be getting a 500 error or be seeing a visible redirect when i go to the address?
Thanks KO

Htaccess help... I moved my blog from a seperate domain to newdomain.com/blog
Hi,
I need help with my htaccess file, I've been told.
I moved a blog i had hosted somewhere else to a directory on my ecommerce site. I was told i would need to write something to go in the htaccess file so the sites would not become duplicate content, but I'm a novice and have no idea how to write that code.
blog moved from www.whosyourmoondoggie.com to www.moondoggieinc.com/blog
Please help, or direct me to the right tutorial
Thanks!

RE: Help! My Domain Authority keeps dropping! What do I do?
Haha many moons?
I dig the SEO stuff so far, gonna stay with it for sure. But my home still lies in Adobe Suite I think.

RE: Help! My Domain Authority keeps dropping! What do I do?
Thanks!
Ya, it's been 2 since I got the site in May.
I'll be starting to go over the Open Site Explorer stuff now. I have a feeling stuff that was done before is showing up for me now.
Thanks again!

RE: Help! My Domain Authority keeps dropping! What do I do?
Yes, I was on the webinar too
Lots of helpful info, wish I could implement all of it.
Thank you for your help! I've been changing parts of the site a lot lately... I completely redesigned the site from asp to php this past may, and have taken it completely over since. So I'm really trying to figure out what's lingering from before and what I can do to make it better. I'm just starting in the SEO world, from a designer background

Pagination for Ecommerce Site - How do I fix this?
Hi Everyone...
I'm having issues on how I should fix the pagination on my ecommerce site
Right now I have rel="canonical" putting them all back to the main page like on:
http://www.moondoggieinc.com/dog-harness.php
but there are also some shop all categories like:
http://www.moondoggieinc.com/products.php?cat=all+dog+harnesses
But I wish I could get it so that the content only showed on the first page of them all and then just the products showed in the pagination after that. I have no clue how to make this happen successfully. I know this is a big problem with the structure to the site, creating some duplicate content and such, and I was wondering how I can even begin to go ahead and start tackling this. My background is as a designer so I'm just learning both seo, and anyhting past html / css, so I could really use any help you guys can offer.
THANK YOU!

RE: Somthing weird in my Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors...
Ya, I know I'm not in good shape, you should have seen it before though.
I'm a designer turned web kid, cause my family wanted me to take Moondoggie over. I'm really enjoying figuring it out and learning , but it gets difficult flyin solo and this forum is the one place i've found to really ask questions.
I'm taking down the social media tracking which is the #.UBFKrzGXT_Q on the urls.
from now on I'll try using the minus, old habits with the underscore will die hard though, the e commerce template i have uses the underscore in it's static pages and won't recognize the minus. I'm not quite sure how to get around that?
On my index I have
I thought that helped this : _Eg: if you go with http://www.moondoggieinc.com/index.php that will return the home page but under a different url then http://www.moondoggieinc.com/ _ ??? But maybe i was wrong?
Are there any other ways to make the URL structure better? I am trying to change all of the cat's over to have static pages....
I also have my parameters set so that pg and cat sorts
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help, and I'm so thankful for this forum.

Somthing weird in my Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors...
Hey,
I recently (this past may) redesigned my e-commerce site from .asp to .php.
I am trying to fix all the old pages with 301 redirects that didn't make it in the switch, but I keep getting weird pages coming up in GWT.
I have about 400 pages under crawl errors that look like this "emailus.php?id=MD908070"
I delete them and they come back.
my site is http://www.moondoggieinc.com
the id #'s are product #'s for products that are no longer on the site, but the site is .php now. They also do not show a sitemap they are linked in or any other page that they are linked from.
Are these hurting me? and how do I get rid of them?
Thanks! KristyO

RE: Page Titles... question about which is better
fishy links? Can you help me and explain a little more?
The site was 7 years old before I took over and switched it from .asp to .php this past may. I know there's a lot of stuff that just fell through the cracks when they didn't have anyone working consistently on the site, I would love to know how to fix all of the problems.
Thank you so much!

RE: Page Titles... question about which is better
They used to be more confussing with numbers and such. Plus I set up my google parameters for that cat sorts
#.UA6rr-51DRg gets put onto the end of all the URLs b/c of the "add this" sharing tools I put in, it tracks the social media stuff. Is that not good and hurting me?
again, thank you so much for your help

Page Titles... question about which is better
Hi,
I'm kind of a newbie and I'm working on an e commerce website.
I would love to be able to optimize the site so that the keyword "dog boutique" was ranking for the homepage.
B/C a lot of the pages call from php to create the meta data, most of generated page titles look like "Product Name, Category - Moondoggie Dog Boutique"
My question is would it be more helpful to just have Moondoggie Dog Boutique on the page title on the page I would like to rank for "dog boutique" and use Moondoggie Inc. or Just Moondoggie in it's place on all of the other pages?
Would this help or make it worse?
Thanks!

RE: Am I jumping the gun? Second guessing myself...
Thank you so much!
Working on fixing the page titles, they are 1/2 and 1/2 that way.
Is this the correct code to put in my .htaccess file to direct the .asp to .php pages?
RedirectMatch 301 (.*).asp$http://www.example.com$1.php
and then add in single redirects to the landing pages that don't have the same name?
THANKS!!!! KristyO

RE: Too early? Rebuilt website from .asp to .php... Internal pages not ranking at all!
for internal links does it matter if you have the full address or just the partial?
www.moondoggieinc.com/dog-harness.php vs. ../dog-harness.php?
Thanks!

Too early? Rebuilt website from .asp to .php... Internal pages not ranking at all!
Am I jumping the gun on expecting results?
I recently switched our ecommerce website from .asp to .php (new site went up May 15th) but we did not switch domain names.
we seems to be doing better until a few days ago when traffic took a steep drop... (not like we were getting that much in the first place either)
I was wondering if I'm doing something completely wrong or do i need to wait longer? Are big swings normal when relaunching a website? am I just being too anxious? The internal pages are getting no juice and I dont know why...
I know i need to build on the links to the site? but am I doing something else completely wrong to see the orgranic search results drop down to almost nothing? I'm really new to SEO and would love if i could get another opinion on http://www.moondoggieinc.com.
Thanks! Kristy

Am I jumping the gun? Second guessing myself...
Hi,
I'm pretty new to SEO and I'm trying to figure out if I'm on the right track.
Mid May I rebuilt a website completely from .asp to .php, the original site was completely makeshift and had some really un-pretty code in it, not to mention the design was completely out of date.
Since I rebuilt it the search has slowed and then picked up a little now it's slowed to almost a stop. I know it hasn't been that long, but am I doing something wrong? I know the think i'm missing most is link-building which we are working on now, but is there something else I'm missing to make the search drop like this this past week? I feel like it's soo much better then before but I'm not seeing any results and now I'm really second guessing myself?
Any suggestions? please help!

RE: I need help with setting the preferred domain; www. or not??
Thank you! yes, I have read the articles that you suggested. Makes me think it's not the problem to be honest, but I can't be sure.
The industry is pet clothing
HAHA! http://www.moondoggieinc.com
we already are pluggin away on social media - FB, Twitter, & Tumblr (who doesn't share picutre of their pets in clothes lol!)
My homepage is getting better, but pages off of it like /dog-harness-php and /dog-clothing.php are what I'm having trouble with.
On-page grades I get A's for both... hmm
It's kinda like i wish I had a guide to help in the process of learning seo... seems trial by error right now. I can make most things look pretty, but getting them to search right is hard!

RE: I need help with setting the preferred domain; www. or not??
Is this why I can't rank any of my internal pages? I'm not getting duplicate content errors on all the pages.
I'm kinda worried I'm reading too many different things and not getting a clear idea of what's going on. I really enjoy working on SEO, but I'm very new to it (a few months). My start is as a designer.
Any other suggestions on why it's happening?

RE: I need help with setting the preferred domain; www. or not??

I need help with setting the preferred domain; www. or not??
Hi!
I'm kinda new to the SEO game and struggling with this site I'm working on:
I set the preferred domain to www. in GWT but I'm not seeing it reroute to that?
I can't seem to get any of my internal pages to rank, and I was thinking it's possiblly b/c of a duplicate content issue cause by this problem.
Any help or guidance on the right way to set preferred domain for this site and whiy I can't get my internal pages to rank?
THANKS!
