Hi Dave,

Thank you for the tips.

Is there any one else who has some advice for me in this situation?

Thanks,
Marcel

Hello,

We are optimizing our mobile (responsive) website at this moment and we want to change some elements on the productpage of our webshop in order of rank. This is the outcome of a data analysis which proves a change in rank of order will result in a higher conversion rate. No doubt.

By technical limitations there is no other option but duplicating the element 'product description' in the source of the page to be able to show in on the spot on the product page we like to. Because our webshop is responsive we can not just move the element to the right spot for mobile because the tablet and desktop version then will change as well.

My question is: will it be a problem for Google if we hide the original element of the product description on mobile pages by using the bootstrap class "hidden-xs" and duplicate it on another spot in the page to show it with the "visible-xs" class?

My concern is that this will create duplicate content and hiding content for Google is not particularly good.

On the other hand, I think Google is smart enough to understand that this is not to manipulate visitors or rankings, but this is only for a different look of the mobile website.

I hope you guys can give me some good advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reply.

We took over this domain a while ago now (like 6-8 months) so Google should have indexed all the right data already. Last week I had made some minor changes in our backoffice which I hoped it would solve the problem (it didn't), and right after that action I asked Google to recrawl the homepage. I did this via Google Webmaster Tools indeed.

So I guess is still need your help :).

Hi there,

A while ago we took over the domain www.hoesjes.nl and forwarded it to our website www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. If you perform a search for the keyword 'hoesjes' in Google then we (www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl) show up on an organic number 1 position. The problem is that the page title isn't correct. Google shows the page title of the website hoesjes.nl we took over and (correctly?) redirected to our domain www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl.

Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this wrong page title in Google?
Here you can find a screenshot of what I mean.

Thanks!

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your repsonse. In the meanwhile the way I tried to use the power of internal linkbuilding seems to work!

Marcel

Hello,

I'm curious what the difference is between internal links from the homepage and category pages. Make it sense to give some internal links from category pages (with a high PA) to an another page for a boost in the search results? Or is the link value too low in this case?

Thanks in advance,
Marcel

Hi EGOL,

Thanks for your response, and your advice.

Running the site we take over is not an option because of many reasons, so we chose to redirect the domain to ours. IS it that bad to use a 301 from the root of the domain we take over to our domain for the time being? Because the website we take over is 'temporarily offline' now, and we want to push DA, customers and Google traffic to our website asap. Later on we will go in details for the specific redirects of URL's from 2nd and 3rd tiers.

There is a plan for taking this company over.

I hoped to receive an answer on my question how to fix the specific redirects later on when the server of the company we take over will not be online anymore. How can we keep the redirects alive when the server will be cancled?

Thanks again.
Marcel

Hi there,

We are about to take over a player in the market with some good DA en PA's. We choose to redirect all the pages from the domain we take over to our main domain for now, later we want to redirect all categories to relevant and similar categories on our own domain.

The company we take over is using a server which will be cancelled in a while. For now we set up the 301 redirect(s) on their server we take over. Because of the extra costs we will cancel the server in a few weeks/months. What is a common way to keep 301 redirects alive after cancelling the server of company we take over?

I hope someone can give me the help I need in this one.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Marcel

Hi Kevin & TorontoV,

Thanks for your responses, and your warning signs concerning a migration to https. We recently launched a new website and we are going to 'migrate' this one first before taking any action on our main webshop. Since we had'nt received any backlinks until now on the new domain, there is no thread for this one.

@Kevin: I'll definitely follow your advice not migrating until Google gives a countdown message for our main domain.

Thanks again!

Marcel

Hi Andy & Jonathan,

Thanks again. I'm going to use this information when we are ready to migrate.

Cheers,
Marcel
