No. Social media links are not considered inbound links in Moz (or other link tools for that matter).

As long as all of the URLs stay the same and you aren't building a blog network (a bunch of sites that interlink), I don't think you'd see much of an SEO difference.

I haven't seen anyone complain about that particular issue which is a good sign. If/when you follow through, please comment back and let everyone know your experience!

I think this is more important for hosts and people with multiple websites (for interlinking)... Tom talks about c-blocks in ipv4 addresses which deals with seo hosting and how that changes in ipv6 (gets more vague). As usual, don't be hosted on the same server as a bunch of spam sites.

If you have just the one site, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

It will not be considered duplicate content. However, you should use hreflang markup so that google knows that 2 versions of a page are actually the same (just translated) and show the correct language to searchers.

does the website rank well for the terms its targeting? if so, don't think google is confused.

<1% is not keyword stuffing and unlikely to trigger any flags.

you need to be more specific as to where this image is showing up in serps (google shopping, featured snippet, mobile results, knowledge graph, shopping/news/amp results, image results in serp, schema cards such as recipes).

You will want to set up multilingual hreflang tags across all pages.

This will essentially tell crawlers "each of these URLs are actually the same 'page'. You should show the correct version based on the location of the visitor" which prevents them from treating it as duplicate content.

I do believe the URLs are indexed (based on his url) and I know that you can use non-english characters in URLs.

Do you get the 500 error when you fetch as google for a url?

Add the site to Google Search Console and do "Fetch as Google" to see how they would index your pages.

Agreed, the redirects/canonicals should be permanent (well, for as long as you want the authority to pass along).

You would see changes in serps within 2 weeks usually.

General consensus is that it is still usually indexed/ranked but the value is diminished (and they may be going in the direction of completely ignoring it). See this post: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hidden-tab-content-seo-19489.html

You can post to reddit without using imgur. Instead, post it on your website along with supplementary content, make sure the page loads fast and isn't spammy, and post that to reddit instead.

Imgur is it's own separate entity that people browse through. The main advantage imgur has is that images are "more compatible" with reddit (in terms of plugins that make loading an image easier, people are more likely to click/view because they know its a good experience).

Google knows the difference and that is why they wouldn't give it the same value.

They are looking for other websites to link to your site on their own. No organic link is going to have tracking variables appended to it, meaning that the backlink was "self-generated". As such, your link value is discounted (especially press release links).

I think you should still be fine as I've not noticed any penalties when thats the case. However, you can throw the brand name into the title. "Keyword - Brand" with "Keyword" as the H1 is very common and wouldn't be overoptimized for sure.

Agreed with one note... its a really bad idea if you are already ranking for the terms you like to. There will definitely be a period of time where you will lose your rankings and although they should return to their previous rankings, Google is fickle.

So if you aren't ranking in the top 50 for several terms, simply changing the URL won't get you to the first page (it may get you into the top 50 though). You would need to update the content and backlinks (internal + external) to see worthwhile movement. Otherwise you just risk losing ranking for the terms you currently do well for.

Sounds like its picking up breadcrumbs and displaying those instead. Care to share the URL?

I recommend you keep the title long as is and let google cut it based on the keywords searched. Editing those titles to a certain length and keep them making sense isn't scalable.

• long title tag = text gets cut off in serps, not worse for SEO but worse for CTR
• page heading and page title not matching won't hurt your SEO.

Currently, Google only looks at the desktop version of the page for it's index so collapsing for mobile would have no effect on rankings.

In general, Google says that hidden/collapsible content is given less weight than visible since its not considered as important for users to see.

You will want to set up multilingual hreflang tags across all pages.

This will essentially tell crawlers "each of these URLs are actually the same 'page'. You should show the correct version based on the location of the visitor" which prevents them from treating it as duplicate content.

Video markup should also appear on regular search results.

Are your URLs just not in web search or are you ranking but no video thumbnails are showing?

You can have both markups on a single page, they shouldn't conflict.
