Hi Andrea,

I am not sure exactly what dup content issues you are trying to correct...

If you have ftp access then you can simply take out the last lines that were added through cpanel and that should then let you login again. As for the correct setup, give us a few more details on what exactly you are trying to achieve.

Hi Steve,

htaccess can be tricky! That link above is a good overview of the options. What you want in your case I think is to make sure that the specific individual page url rewrites are before the generic domain rewrite so they are triggered first and the generic redirect is only triggered if none of the individual page urls above it are hit.

Hi Carla,

I have never heard of one file type being better or worse for image ranking, I would think it makes no difference so use the type that makes the most sense for the kind of image it is (ie jpg for photos, png for logos and generally whichever will give you a lower file size). That being said, I did a search for 'Línea Solarium Recto' and your images are the first ones shown so it might depend on what phrase you are trying to rank for with certain images, the pngs in other words are certainly showing up for quite specific searches.

Hi Anthony,

Header tags are used to indicate structure in your html document, the styling you apply to them can be anything you like and think makes the page easier to read. While it is a bit unusual to have small headings and larger paragraph fonts, it is certainly not black hat.  Is it worth using h3 and h4? You are probably not going to see any seo benefit from using them, but if your document structure makes sense to have them, then use them. Can you use more than one h2? Yes! Check out this post by Yoast which should answer most of your questions regarding structure and proper usage.

In regards what text is best, I would go with your second 'more readable' suggestion. Write your content with users in mind first, it is easy to get caught up in minor variations with the idea that it might make some difference to your rankings. 99/100 it wont, and you will just get a page that reads a bit oddly for real users.

Hi Tim,

Glad it helped. It might be worth asking your host what kind of features they have for preventing flooding attacks, there are various ways of addressing them on the server side that most hosts will have enabled in one way or another. Unless you have a specific issue with these kind of attacks, it seems to me that this part of the module is causing more harm than good as it is now.

Hi Tim,

Did you ever get to the bottom of the issue mentioned in this question? It is almost certainly the same problem.

Have a look at this page and try either turning of the sh404SEF anti flooding feature or else boosting the max number of requests allowed. http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1368937

The anti flooding part of this component is basically blocking requests for pages if it thinks someone is trying to do a dos attack on your site. The current setup seems to be too sensitive and is bloocking screaming frog after the first few requests, quite possibly blocking the google bots, maybe blocking the moz crawler also, so certainly something you should address.

Hi,

Technically if your cms and server can handle incoming urls with utf8 characters in them then you should be ok. I have seen some instances where the setup does not like them and produces 404 errors when you try to include these characters in the url, but most times it is fine. Google will display utf8 urls in the search results without problem (check out the wikipedia result here)

There is a further consideration though which is one I face a lot with Greek (similar to russian in some ways) which is how these urls are shared in mails, social media etc. A lot of the times these urls end up getting automatically url encoded and the url shown in the mail or facebook etc is a long, long string of url encoded characters which is impossible to read, gives no indication of what the page is about and generally looks bad (try putting that link above into facebook....nasty). For this reason I usually choose to do 'greeklish' urls which is a latin character representation of the greek characters. There are usually some common practices in regards how the local language is 'recreated' in latin characters, there are for Greek, I would assume there are for Russian also. So with that in mind, if you have a russian speaker who is familiar with that kind of thing I would be inclined to make the urls themselves 'russianlish'.

My two cents!
