Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Moz,

For some reason on my father's website, michaelpadway.com,  the top 2 keywords from organic are complete urls from his site. This doesn't makeugh sense to me. Any ideas?

I have a case in which the whole site is AJAX, the method to appease to crawlers used is

 <meta< span="">name="fragment" content="!">  Which is the new HTML5 PushState that Bing said it supports (At least I think it is that)

This approach works for Google, but Bing isn't showing anything.
Does anyone know if Bing supports this and we have to alter something or if not is there a known work around?

The only other logic we have is to recognize the bing user agent and redirect to the rendered page, but we were worried that could cause some kind of cloaking penalty</meta<>

How has no one mentioned SiteTuners! http://sitetuners.com/

I like their newsletter.

We have faceted navigation for the desktop version, so breadcrumbs are overkill. In the mobile version all of the faceted nav disappears, but we show the breadcrumbs.

We just aren't sure how marking up breadcrumbs functions with responsive if they only show on one version.

I am working on a site that has responsive design. We use faceted search for the desktop version but implemented a style of breadcrumbs for the mobile version as sidebars take up too much screen real estate.

On the desktop design we are putting a display:none in front of the breadcrumbs. If we mark up those breadcrumbs and they are behind a display none, can we still get the rich snippets? Will Google see this is cloaking?

In follow up, is there a way to markup breadcrumbs in the or somewhere else that is constant?

My website has a main section that we call expert content and write for. We also have a community subdomain which is all user generated.

We are a pretty big brand and I am wondering should the rel publisher tag just be for the www expert content, or should we also use it on the community UGC even though we don't directly write that?

Google has a separate mobile crawler. This crawler probably uses guidelines from the mobile sitemap instead of the desktop sitemap.

I think it is worthwhile to make a separate mobile sitemap even with responsive design so Google knows those are the mobile as well as desktop pages.

Thanks guys, We definitely mark up entities that have a chance of showing rich snippets, so far though I haven't seen any of these for purely article markup.

I guess that answers my question though, probably not worth the implementation costs at this time.

I am working with a site that has sitemaps broken down very specifically. By page type: article, page etc and also broken down by Category. Unfortunately, this is not done hierarchically. Category and page type are separate maps, they are not nested. My question here is:

Is is detrimental to have two separate sitemaps that point to the same pages? Should we eliminate one of these taxonomies, or maybe just try to make them hierarchical? IE item type -> category -> pagetitle

Is there an issue with having a sitemap index that points to a nested sitemap index?

(I dont think so, but might as well be sure.

Thanks Moz Community!

Can't delete my question, but turns out that isn't how they are structured. Food for thought anyway I suppose.

I'm working with a few international sites that we are going to collapse into one main site. Our current plan is to 301 the 4 other sites into our main site home page.

Is this ok? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

In the meantime it might not be a bad idea to add a warning or just take it down.

Many of my clients release newsletters and other peices of content qualify as press releases.  I have been wondering if people find that the press release sites such as PRleap or PRweb are useful and worthwhile?  If so, which do you feel is the best?

Is there any research on this?  I am planning to record my results from these sites and perhaps make a Youmoz post in the future.

In addition to danzspas advice, Rankings can shoot up if you have a lot of social mentions.  Was there a spike in your social mentions? twitter links, facebook shares etc?  These can give huge short term boosts.

So the ratio is MozTrust to MozRank, but what is this good for?  What can I deduce from this and what can I use it for?

It depends what you are going for here.  It is typically recommended that you install the blog at mydomain.com/blog/ because it gives the link value to mydomain.com.  This is the best option if you want your main domain to rank higher and for long tail search.

If you put it at blog.mydomain.com it will count as a subdomain and the link value will be split. This option can be beneficial if your main domain already ranks where you would like it to, or will be able to without the blog.  Then you can use the blog to dominate rankings by having a first and second listing with the subdomain.

mydomainblog.com is not recommended as it is a completely separate domian and will have no synergy with your other doman.

You can always rel canonical tag your old site to pass the juice to the new one and deal with the problem of duplicate content.

Another option, you can 301 redirect all the "front end pages" and just keep your login access to your back end.

Do you have any evidence to back up this claim? Any reasoning behind assuming a 301 passes link juice, but it wont pass through any social media ranking signals?

Like Alan said, rel canonical is great if the site accept that tag.

In addition, You can set up your site to or manually ping the search engines when you release a new article so it then hopefully attributes your site as the first one to have that content.

Thanks EGOL, you are a a valuable asset to these boards.
