Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Check out Google's First Click.

Implementation of this allows you to include restricted content in Google's main index.

I think it could help with what you want to achieve.

Check out Firstserv.  You can always reach them 24/7 on the phone.  They always seem happy to help.

I'd recommend implementing 301 at the server level e.g. in IIS settings rather than the code level.

There are loads of guides on this - just search for "301 iis6 redirect" on your favourite search engine.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

It will be due to the way theHTML is written.  You will have to alter the HTML to reach your desired outcome. I think the HTML is rendered in the order that it appears on the page e.g. from top to bottom.

You have lots of menu options and these are listed first in the html page.

I also recommend a general review of things as your title is not appearing in the cached page either.  Perhaps its because you are specifying it here as well:

name="title" content="NLP Training, Courses, Certification | NLP Institute of California" />

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Maybe ask for a more detailed agenda

One good thing about non-profit is its easy to get people on-board.  For example when doing outreach it helps take the edge of things as its for a good cause and generally people are more than happy to help and be seen to be helping a good cause.  I think there is lots of potential here.  Same goes for the social marketing aspects.

specifics depends on the actual organisation you are promoting.

There is a strong argument for it being deemed unethical.   Perhaps the closer the industries/companies and their respective marketing strategies/goals are the stronger this argument becomes.

Good mention from Robert about transparency.

Sure it goes on loads though... what's your thoughts?

Hi,

I've never heard of it.  That's not to say it isn't any good though.

Might be worth finding out the speakers in attendance etc.

You might also want to consider going to Mozcon  OR SMX.  I've never had the pleasure but once I get over my fear of flying I'll defo go to Mozcon.

Hi,

I think the canonical tag may be useful in this situation.

If the URLs follow the same format you could create a regular expression for the 301, which in theory would prevent missing videos and would essentially be a much cleaner/elegant way of meeting your requirement.

Hope this helps.

In a way 301'n to the home page is kinda the same difference...

I guess its a question of how much those back links are worth to you/your site.

What about creating really user friendly 404 pages....Not easy to say without understanding the difference in the structure/content of your site but maybe keep the old content in place with a nice message that makes it clear the new content is over in 'these new pages'

Hope this helps.

Hi,

301 them to corresponding pages on the new site if possible.

Hi,

Check out About OSE.  Under the section 'Why Isn't there any link data for my URL'.  This will help answer your question.

As for the download problem I'm not sure.  Linkscape updates tomorrow - perhaps check back then.

Linkscape updates tomorrow.  Perhaps the the social statistics will update then too.

It won't solve your duplicate page issues.

Without looking at the site its not easy to say exactly why your getting duplicate page issues.

You can start off by ensuring you have a 301 redirect from the root domain to the subdomain or vice versa - its up to you

your-domain.com >> 301 redirect to >> www.your-domain.com

Hi,

If I remember correctly this post by Tom Critchlow about agile SEO hacks should get you moving in the right direction.

Hope it helps.

Yes that's correct.  So you will have 2 sites added to GWT - your-domain.com and www.your-domain.com

Also have a gander at these:

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-article-marketing-submission-for-seo http://www.seomoz.org/blog/article-marketing-mostly-a-scam-whiteboard-friday

If I remember correctly they should give you a good idea about articles etc.

Hi there,

You have to verify the sub domain e.g. www.domain.com and the root domain e.g. domain.com.

If I recall correctly to do this you just add another site within webmaster tools and verify it.

Hope this helps.

Check out Google's First Click.

I don't recall ever seeing this format before.

As you are using the <title>,,,</title> tag I don't think it makes any difference if the meta title definition stays or goes.

Meta data is data about the page and the search engines will use or disregard it.  For example the search engines no longer take note of the meta keywords but instead look at other signals to determine what a page is about.

Maybe there is an argument to remove it in the sense it makes the page look spammy?

Plus its not required.

Now that the new site is ready maybe you can move it out of its set-up directory into the root domain?  I'd also set-up 301 redirects so the pages from the old CMS are forwarded to corresponding pages on the new CMS

www.yousite.com/blog/story1 >>301 redirects >> www.yousite.com/news/tech/story1

Is it a problem if http://www.mydomain.com is not optimized for anything?

The root domain is forwarded onto the directory with Joomla install so you can't optimize it for anything.  If you keep it like this make sure its a 301 redirect.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If you have access to GWT for the domain you could use the 'Fetch as Googlebot' tool and check out the how it fetches the page and data it downloads.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Just to clarify - they use

and

<title>..</title>

?

In the campaign section you paste in keywords separated by comma tab or newline.

<embed id="Siber_embed1" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 0px; height: 0px; position: fixed; display: block;" type="application/rf-np-plugin">

Hi there,

The URLs are viewed as different due to the campaign tracking variables being appended to the end and hence it appears as though you have duplicate content.

You can resolve this by using the canonical tag.

hope this helps!

If its your domain then perhaps you can get access to the DNS file from your provider.  This will list all the sub-domains OR login to the control panel.

If you have access to a Linux command line you can run the dig command:

dig @your-domains-primary-name-server ea.com axfr

Hope this helps.

Looks like its now sorted!

Checked link: http://www.plasticstorage.com/

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://plasticstorage.com/

Hi there,

I doubt there will be any latency difference between the US and UK or Germany.  Just go with a provider who has good network/peering.

Here's a good video on where to host when targeting particular country etc.  Should answer your questions.

Hope this helps.

just noticed this post is a little old. You seem to ranking no1 for the phrase now..

I've seen a similar thing with yellow pages business page ranking higher than the actual company website -

http://www.yellowpages.com/awesomeplumber

awesomeplumber.com

I've not looked into it yet so can't say with any certainty but there are many factors at play.  Could hazard a guess that trip advisor has greater amount of back links/higher quality back links.

it will be related to the code/logic of your site creating the duplicate pages.  You could work out why/update the code so you only have 1 page for each product OR you could use the rel canonical tag to resolve the issue.

Just thought...as you appear to have so many duplicate pages it may be quicker to look at the logic of the site and fix it all in one go.

The redirect is still a 302:

Checked link: http://www.plasticstorage.com/

Type of redirect: 302 Moved Temporarily

Redirected to: http://plasticstorage.com

Change the type of redirect to a 301 - this is done at the server level usually.

Unless I'm mistaken they appear to be identical duplicate pages.

Hey David,

sorry but I don't understand - where are you seeing the difference in traffic.  Its been one of those days.  I'll catch on in sec!

cheers

I'd still strongly recommend fixing the 301 redirect.  The preference in the GWT tools is kinda like a soft preference.

Can you show 2 URSs that are deemed to be the same/duplicate?

Its in respect to the data from the Google keywords tool api -

exact match - Allows your ad to show for searches that match the exact phrase exclusively

broad match 
Allows your ad to show on similar phrases and relevant variations

more info here:

Hi

I'd maybe create the pages from the second site on the first site (if it fits)and set-up multiple 301 redirects.  If you have any anchor text links the 301 redirects will match them up on the new site.

site2.com/wood-rafts >> 301 >> site1.com/wood-rafts site2.com >> 301 >> site1.com

whether its a good idea depends on your business goals etc

hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi

I think it takes data from Google keywords tool data to determine keyword difficulty so I guess if the Google keyword tool data changes then this would be reflected in the keyword difficulty tool results.  although don't quote me on this!

Hi there,

One issue is that your www.plasticstorage.com is a 302 redirect to plasticstorage.com.  You should update this to a 301 redirect.  This will be causing a few issues.

I think the SEOMoz tool shows content that it deems duplicate in the report.  Can you post some examples of pages that are deemed duplicate?

Cheers.

One take on this would be to add a 301 redirect one of the URLs onto to the other.  As Vjay mentioned this would look after any inbound links to the page.

this post has some good info also

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/301-redirect-or-relcanonical-which-one-should-you-use

I think you should return a 404 page if content no longer exists.  The internet is always changing and 404 pages are a normal part of that.

You can return a 404 page, which is useful to users.

If you have a 404 page, which has backlinks to it then you can use a 301 to redirect to a related page or correct page if someone has linked incorrectly.

Hope this helps.

You could try fetching a few of the the pages manually as googlebot to see how they are performing.  5xx errors can often be random/intermittent glitches.

Hi there,

This is from the OSE page:

"Sorry that you still haven't been able to see your links in Linkscape. Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Linkscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for many of reasons, including the crawl-ability of sites, the amount of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories.

Just so you know, here's how we compile our index:

1. We grab the most recent index.
2. We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
3. We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 59,000,000,000 pages (which is about 25% the amount in Google's index)."

You can read more here: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/about

If you can see backlinks to your site in GWT then they definitely exist.

Hope this helps.

I think I might be misunderstanding something here but here goes.

In an ideal world Google would index the white papers. > Users would reach your site on keyword searches that are within your white papers (now indexed by Google). > before seeing papers they have to compete the form?

This is what you want to achieve?

Cheers

Able Skills is ranked number 2 when I run the search.  The number 1 spot is taken by a site site which has the keywords in the domain name which is probably why its number 1.

I'd recommend using hyphens as its better for humans when the URL is punctuated.  So this version

realthread.com/products/american-apparel-2001

nothing comes back when I run this

site:www.royaloakshomesfl.com

So looks like its not indexed

You can see it here:

http://royaloakshomesfl.com/robots.txt

So its in the webroot of your hosting.  You can change it via FTP to and change it to the following to grant full access until you have figured out robot access rights.  I think you need at least one Disallow: line without the / slash in your existing configuration to make it work.

User-agent: *

I think the pest control space offers huge potential for link bait and viral marketing as well! The papers here in London are always writing articles on the rat population exploding and "taking over the city".  I guess people just love reading about that stuff.
