I go by the basic rule here, if the two different URLs displaying identical information then this will be considered as duplicated content but including no-index, no-follow tag is also not a good idea as this will affect your traffic and conversions.

All websites are fetching the data from the central resource but you got the ability to display it differently! Like try to display only the related information about the properly and in the rest of the page you can add UGC, content related to the property, some tips or something similar kind of content and more…

In the ecommerce world, we tend to see different websites selling the same products and that is why the pages become identical sometimes so in order to avoid that we try to add extra content like UGC, tips, videos or more to make the page unique in the eye of Google as well as a little more interactive for search engines.

Hope this helps!

I don’t think there is a way to get the DA of a sub-domain as sub domains are the part of the overall domain and this is why it contains the same domain authority as the main.

The way to check the power of the sub-domain should be checked by PA in my opinion (for that URL only). I do understand that Google count sub domains as a separate entity but i don’t think this leads to have a different DA of a sub-domain then the main domain.

Just my opinion!

As far as I see your website I see images are getting indexed (not all of them but they are in the Google search index). Why are they not appearing in the search results when someone type in related keyword is a different question. If you are looking for that my advice would be to use proper, optimized and natural anchor text instead of targeting keywords all the time.

Also try to change the name of the images to something more relevant. “liposuction.jpg is much better than big-imagejpg”

Hope this helps!

This is not really irrelevant... I mean I have a website that dedicated offer SEO service, and I have few links coming from good web design websites and this is not irrelevant because somehow there is a connection!

Similarly, here the links that are pointing to the website have some connection... I mean if the websites that are link back to your website have a bad health, then you must stay away from their links but saying that the links are simply irrelevant is not true!

First, there is no problem from the SEO point of view if you 301 URL A, B and C to URL D but obviously you have your website for users and not for search engine only which is why your first concern should be users.

If I would be at your place I would have thought about the following before coming to any final conclusion.

URL D will entertain users the same way as A, B and C was doing and they will find all the answers that previous pages were answering. If yes, I will go for it and if not, I would consider other relevant options I may have.

Link profile of the A, B and C URL is clean, if not I would prefer not to redirect but if the good links are pointing to those pages, I would prefer redirecting. No matter what the decision will be I will check the links that are pointing to those URLs.

If the users will not misguide and the link profile on A, B and C URLs is clean, I probably will go for it and if not I will choose other options accordingly.

Hope this helps.

totally agree with EGOL.

Also, if you are an ecommerce company where products go out of stock for some time and then comes back, why 301 redirect at the first place. My idea is to add pre-booking option or may be a subscribe button for a user so that they can subscribe to get a notification when the product will be back in stock.

Btw, this will also increase your email marketing list that you can use in multiple ways. #justathought!

Ok, here is the easiest way to understand this (As far as I think)!

1. 404: This is the status code that browser give when the page on the website is not available.
2. 302: This is the status code of the page if it is temporary redirected to some new page. This simply means that old page will not pass the link juice to the new page but when user reach to this URL will drive them to a new location.
3. 301: This is the status code which does almost the same work as 302 but in that case old URL passes its link juice as well. This is commonly known as permanent redirection.

Websites usually should not use 404 as this disturbs the user experience  of the page but upon requirement and keeping scenarios in mind use of 301 or 302 is always an intelligent approach.

I completely read every word of your description and i would say it actually is a good idea but its a long term game and you have to decide how much dip in traffic you can afford because once you are going to change the keywords the traffic that was coming from previous keywords will fall down and new keyword (as its new) might not send you any traffic at all.

If you can afford to loos traffic then this is a perfect idea to change the keywords and start optimizing fir links! But if you can’t in that case you should content marketing plan first and then slowly move towards the change!

If I would be at your place I would have created another page that should target the new keywords and start getting quality links to that page until it start ranking for the particular keyword. Once it will be on the desired position, I will then slowly change the content of the home page and redirect that page to the home page so that all link juice can be transferred to home page... This will also hit traffic negatively but the dip will not be as serious as it can go if you do it without doing this!

Hope this helps!

Bounce Rate for Google Analytics is that a visitor hits the page and gets out without shifting to another page, it will be considered as bounce rate.

In your case, I agree with EGOL to add a thank you page so that technically it should visit another page and your bounce rate will come to natural again!

Hope this helps!

To be honest, I f i would be at your place I wouldn’t have used that and if it was available I would have delete it till now for few specific reasons...

1. This has no impact from the SEO point of view and search engine is not getting or collecting any information from this...so why write more?
2. If the Meta Keyword tag is smartly inserted then it can be dangerous and this is because you are seriously helping your competitors to see what keywords are you targeting on the page and then he can alter his strategies accordingly to outrank you in search engine from the desired key phrases.

Hope this helps!

Let’s talk completely about branding, I would never recommend you to go for .co domain when .com and co.uk is already taken by other companies...

It’s always an advantage to me to add keyword in the domain name but don’t push it too much if you are not getting it focus more on branding and choose a domain name that is easy to remember.

For separating keywords in the domain i would say do not use it and if it is necessary then use ‘-’ instead of ‘_’.

Hope this help!
