Hey,
How can I tell search engines not to index my xml RSS feed?
The RSS feed is created by Yoast on WordPress.
Thanks, Luke.
Hey,
How can i set up multiple proxy server for Advanced Web Ranking? I managed to block everyone from Google the last time I used this
Thanks, Luke.
As Oleg Korneitchouk is correct on the schema side of things there is also the option to add in Google places link to your website which you'll need a separate page for that.
Luke.
What have you used to put them in place in the first place? HTML, PHP, WordPress?
If I'm understand the question correctly if should just be a case of removing the rich snippets that are around your video information?
Hey,
I'm getting a soft 404 error on a webpage that has content and is deferentially not a 404.
We've redirect a load of urls to the web page. The url has parameters which was used before the redirect but are no longer used on by the new url, these parameters have been carried over in the redirect.
Is this whats causing the soft 404 error or is there another problem that may need addressing?
Also a canonical has been set on the webpage.
Thanks, Luke.
Exactly what i was looking for.
Thanks!
Hey,
I'm trying to redirect all instances of "/archive_details.php?id=*" to "/public-affairs-job-archive.php". Is the below code correct?
Redirect 301 /archive_details.php?id=* /public-affairs-job-archive.php
Thanks, Luke.
Hey,
Were adding schema to a website and I was wondering how it would be best to tackle a business that has two location.
Would it be better to put it on two different pages or on one page using one or two itemscopes.
Thanks, Luke.
Hey Paul,
The above code can be placed between and as stated above. If yur website is built in php then you can just copy and paste it above.
Please have a look here http://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
I'd go for the latter "mydomain.com/blog", then any links built to your awesome content will be on the same sub-domain as the rest of your content. Works wonders.
Hey,
You probable what to make sure you have the correct schema added to you contact page on your website. Have a look at http://schema.org/LocalBusiness and http://schema-creator.org/organization.php.
If your using a WordPress site theirs also a plugin available but it needs editing to make the information it gives out correct.
one useful answer by two people. Feels like a consensus!
We're going to need some more detail first!
Is a CMS being used, if so which one and what plugin. What is the urls causing these errors. Also a link to you website.

Is it bad for SEO if traffic is directed to "http://www.example.com/someuri/index.php" instead of "http://www.example.com/someuri/" and would it be works setting up a redirect rule at htaccess level?
Hey 1akal,
Looking at the structure of the url's there's not much that i can think of apart from 301 redirects. Have you ever considered using WordPress. We use Modern Tribe for our events.
