Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a few questions regarding Google Search Console. Google Search Console tells you to add all versions of your website https, http, www, and non-www. 1.) Do I than add ALL the information for ALL versions? Sitemaps, preferred site, etc.? 2.) If yes, when I add sitemaps to each version, do I add the sitemap url of the site version I'm on or my preferred version? - For instance when adding a sitemap to a non-www version of the site, do I use the non-www version of the sitemap? Or since I prefer a https://www.domain.com/sitemap.xml do I use it there? 3.) When adding my preferred site (www or non-www) do I use my preferred site on all site versions? (https, http, www, and non-www) Thanks in advance. Answers vary throughout Google!

Website: www.wheelchairparts.com
Keyword: wheelchair parts My website is #1 or #2 on almost every search engine besides Google. Google has us bouncing between the bottom of page 2 and top of 3. However we are on page one for "wheelchairparts". I need to get a link building campaign going for this site. I feel it's more difficult for ecommerce websites and nothing seems to fit in with Rand's Mozcon 2016 Link Building talk except hacks. I need to find a flywheel. Either way, my question is what can I do other than link building to get on page 1 of Google for the term "wheelchair parts"? Thanks in advance! - Mike Bean

https://moz.com/blog/relative-vs-absolute-urls-whiteboard-friday I have read both articles above, however further reading the comments that followed, it appears that neither provided an answer. Some said Absolute and some were determined that Relative linking is the only way to go. There were heated comments, apologetic comments and mostly comments agreeing to disagree. But in the end I think what I got out of it was there are two sides to developing a site. Side A:             Web Developer Standpoint, Relative (easier) Side B:             SEO Standpoint, Absolute (harder) To me Side B puts money in the bank, so I will go with B. Now since we’ve been dealt the recent https algo, there seem to more opinions that are thrown into the question. All I’m asking for is a straight answer so our employees can feel confident that our efforts are not in loss. I also want to ask about how images should be linked internally. NOTE: Our sites are not all https but have SSL’s in place, and 301 redirects reflect http versions of pages. So since it appears Absolute linking is the preferred method, I ask which is the best option or an option at all. Internal Navigation: Current internal link - /store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm Absolute Options http://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (what I see for most Absolute links)
www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (would this work for both http and https?)
//www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (would this work for both http and https?) All three links above resolve to www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm with no http:// in front. If I type https://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm in the url it resolves to https://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm with the https:// in front. Internal Images: If I want my images to be indexed as well as pages should I be using Absolute links for them as well? Current internal image link - /store/pc/images/rollators.jpg Absolute Options http://www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (what I see for most Absolute links)
www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (would this work for both http and https?)
//www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (would this work for both http and https?) Just once I would like an answer that’s not:
It depends on the site or it doesn’t matter which method you use, they both work lol. I would like one that says google likes this better. Thanks for taking the time to help us understand and can’t wait for MOZ Con this September.

Say your on a e-commerce category page "Shirts" every lower level category has "shirts" in it such as: T-shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweat shirt, v-neck shirt, and so on. Is this page going to be penalized in google for the keyword "shirts" just because it is in the title and on the page a thousand times because i'm targetting words like "long sleeve shirt? and if it is, will the "long sleeve shirt" keyword be negatively affected as well? Answer much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

Hello, A friend of mine has noticed an increase in organic traffic since they started using AdWords. Has anyone had similar results or could this be coincidence? Thanks in advance!

Is it bad to have the same H1 & H2 tag on one page? I found a similar question here on the moz forum but it didn't exactly answer my question. And will adding "about" on the H2 help, or should we avoid duplicate tags completely? Here is a link to the page in question (which will repeat throughout this site.) Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried out Sajan Translation Services? What was your experience? Do you have any other translation service companies to recommend? Thanks!

I'm targeting Roho Cushions and the category page has many products starting with Roho underneath it. I know the keyword "Roho" shows up at least 70 times. I'm not targeting the keyword Roho, but could this negatively effect the rest of my keywords that start with Roho, such as "Roho Wheelchair Cushions"?

One of our category pages is keyword stuffed. But we are not able to change the image alt text. It is automatically generated as the title of each product. We would be able to get the keywords down if that was not the case, but now there is 30 alt image keywords along with 25 other elements of the keyword. I can only change 2 image alt texts. What can I do here?

We do not get referral traffic from Google, only organic. Why do we get both organic and referral traffic from Bing?

We have an E commerce site and we have started to implement Schema's. I've looked around quite a bit but could not find any schema's for product categories. Would there be any schema's to add besides an image, description, & occasional PDF?

Where/when can we find the Mozcon 2015 videos?

I have a 301 Redirect http://www.wheelchairparts.com to http://www.wheelchairparts.com/store/pc/home.asp The problem is my PA and most of my Links have been lost. I thought a 301 redirected EVERYTHING?

In Google our main website page url is <cite class="_Rm">www.wheelchairparts.com</cite> it has 25 root domain links & PA 34. When you go to our website from there, the homepage url is http://www.wheelchairparts.com/store/pc/home.asp it only has 3 root domain links & PA 27. Do I need to add a 301 Redirect here? What kind of redirect is on it now? Thanks, - Mike Bean

I know a few of these problems come from products being in the same categories but I have no idea how to get rid of the url's that are showing duplicate content when the product is in the exact same place. Hard to explain, but here are URL examples. http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-688p3308.htm http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-696p3308.htm http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-p3308.htm http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-688p3308.htm Any Idea's how to fix / get rid of these URL's? Thanks!

I ran a Moz on page report for our Roho Cushions page using the keyword Roho Cushions. I found "keyword stuffing" within the page, mainly from alternate text on images. The report told me I have 45 IMG ALT keywords & 28 Body Keywords. I cannot find the keywords I've used in the body, and if I inspect any image element, the keyword is not used as alternate text. I've ran this report multiple times in the past 2 weeks and have come up with the same results. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks!

Selling medical equipment to everyone from hospitals, nursing homes, & dealers to selling medical equipment to every individual that doesn't have insurance (at great prices) is what we do. I've had success with some social media but I want to know where you think the biggest social media value is at specifically for a company & website like ours. (www.Ocelco.com). Thanks!

Hello, Our web team and I have been building a e-commerce website for the past couple of months. The project is nearing its end and I was just wondering if there are any big issues on this website that jump out at anyone, besides the fact that it hasn't been submitted anywhere or there has been no link building done yet. The website is wheelchairparts.com All feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated! Thanks!

I run a blog and a e-commerce website. Their not connected but their about the same thing. I want to put my blog articles onto my website (just a couple not every last one) but I'm afraid of the duplicate content issues. Can I take an image of a blog post, make it a PDF, and put it under a category of my e-commerce site which is helping users with useful content. This sounds like a great idea that Google wouldn't be able to tell the difference, in fact Google would like it and see it as a useful document. To me this seems to good to be true, perhaps a form of black hat. So my question is, is it black hat? Could I ever get penalized for doing this?

I am trying to figure out if having the same paragraph on every product would be a bad thing. I know it would be bad to have the same description on every product, but this isn't a description it is a helpful paragraph stating this: Having trouble finding the wheelchair part you need? Please call us at 1-800-328-5343 or fill out the (Link)Wheelchair Parts Request Form(Link). One of our friendly customer service representatives will be happy to help you. Or would it be best to just have the "wheelchair parts request form" Link on every page Or would it be best to have neither and try putting that in a higher category making it on one page instead of every product page?

I mean having say 5 different categories on a page and showing the products that are in those categories below the categories. Just In case people don't want to dig deeper to find there product because they know what they need already. I would also want those categories for the people that need to do a little more searching and have a better reference guide. So is there any negatives to my SEO doing it that way?

I have researched some more effective keywords to change my root category titles to. I am wondering if it would be a bad idea to change these titles considering all the things that could go wrong. From what i'm gathering there are a LOT of things that can go wrong but at the same time these things do need to be changed sometime! Is this a good or a bad idea & why? What could go wrong? Should I try changing the category titles one at a time instead of risking every one of my keywords / category titles not working out in the serps right away?

Are To Many Rel Canonical Links A Bad Thing? I had "twin" domains so I redirected my  .com to www..com and now I have a lot of Rel Canonical Links.

I'm having a problem on a crawl warning for our main site. The warning is that every one of my pages has to many links, a little over 1,000 on almost all of them. I think this is because our category list on our left hand sidebar has so many categories, and that sidebar appears on every last one of our pages even all the way into our products. Can anyone take a look and tell me if this is the reason why and what I could possibly do about this? Thanks in advance! www.Ocelco.com
