Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In that case I think, I would chose _kawasaki.com/robotics _

To get the citation/trust or however you would call it from your 15 yrs old domain - instead of starting a new one, wich would be the problem in both of your options.

You may redirect them 301 to the page wich is now the best answer for the search query. That fixes the problem for the user immediatly.
You can than go to search console and let the bot crawl the url again (fetch as google) - he will see the redirect, you can send it to google.
Make sure your redirection is the best answer.

rel attributes like noopener or noreferrer arent used in search, even if he was asked for noopener nofollow, it is the same with followed links

RangeMarketing is right, but there is an pretty easier way to, share the page @ gplus.
I realized that it sometimes is faster. But usually I fatch as google in both cases, like Range Marketing said.

I've not that much time today, but: **EGOL **has some perfect examples like "hundsmiserabel" (wich is not really used anymore). The language changes, the words get shorter.  But thats not the problem here. Just 2 things:

[...] für Kursteilnehmer,dass sie Arabisch lernen möchten. Thats not german, that's anything different... _für Kursteilnehmer,arabisch zu lernen. _Thats a lot better. We allready had that:  Bedarf an Menschen, die Arabisch lernen wich is simply not the greatest german ever:  Bedarf an Menschen, die Arabisch sprechen. The rest is correct. But... to hard to read:

Algerien, Bahrain, Ägypten, Irak, Jemen, Jordanien, Kuwait, Libanon, Libyen, Marokko, Mauretanien, Oman, Palästina, Katar, Saudi-Arabien, Sudan, Syrien, Tunesien und den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten ^^ in the middle of that phrase I was like, ok letz go back and search another page.

I usually don't count Keywords, but for "arabisch lernen" the my result #1 used that phrase  exactly one time! It's really hard to read your stuff to the end. That's - for a language school - not really acceptable. You should make me want to read it.

Thats not the reason why you are not ranking well, just bad for readers.

iframes are not seo "unfriendly" - otherwise Google Maps Embeds or youtube embeds would hurt your websites SEO, thats not the truth. Without example I cant say something about your page, but it is "simple" to make sites with iframes visible.

Create enaugh visible stuff wich is unique an has a lot value arround your iframe. Do your "normal" SEO Stuff and done... Avoid sites with iframes only Thats not so much content.

Maybe you know that all - but someone may not and find that here googling for iframes and SEO. A lot of tools are saying: Your website has a problem, u are using iframes... and less people think about why - they just think: Ok, cut it out.

Hi Stacey, I have a lot of Wordpress Sites and there is not "the one solution" 4all, but in general I use categories (dont matter how many for a post, it wont exist more than one time).

I use Tags, but with the YOAST Plugin I make them noindex, and (because it wouldn't be usefull for noindex pages) they aren't in a sitemap.
Just kick them out of a sitemap wouldn't bring that much affect, when the post links to the tags.

There are possibilities to use both and don't change anything. Depends on how many posts you have per tag, if you display 100% of the post in a tag or only a few sentences, maybe a complete other description. Thatswhy there is no "one solution 4 all" but that one is a good solution in many (i guess most) cases.

Hope that helps

When I compare image and web, I can see that image searchers aren't counted as web searchers.
When I check positions, I can see that some search querries of one of my sites are at positions 1.1 to 1.9 based on web and 3.1 to 45.4 based on image search. Thats working - as long as it is picture search vs. web search. And as long as the search querry has no image-box.

Now your question - I checked another side wich has a lot of rankings in image boxes in web search. And I think you are right:

• Search Console is telling me I am on the web at postion 1.1
• When I Google it, my picture is the first one in a picture box at the top of the Results.
• Than there is a website (wich is not mine)
• And finally I am on Positon 2 (Picture Box, other Website, my Website)
• the same with a lot of querries. Google is here counting my image result (first result) in a picture box @ web search.

Tried to find some clients - found one. A search result he simply couldn't have with his website. But he had - it was a picture somewhere in the middle of the SERPs. I also saw that google seems to count each image as one result.

So finally you are right. If you have a Picture somewhere in an Image Box (wich is displayed in a Web Search) is a Web Search Position in Google Search Console.

I only would guess that google can figure it out.

Google has to figure out missspelling, that a "mention"-theory could work. I mean, with my domain intenseo.de I get a lot of mentions from people wich ment intenso. I don't sell USB-Sticks, sorry. So google has to figure out whats the topic arround the mention and the brands shouldn't do the same thing. So if (and I don't believe that) google counts each and every mention (whenever in future) and handle it like a link, google has bigger tasks than brands with slidely or complete different Domain-names.

Nearly the same thing - I work in an agency named bitskin - do you know _bitskins_for CS:GO? Bitskin gets a lot (thousends) of mentions from people wich meant bitskins - not bitskin. In both cases it's just one letter...

The point is: "Google is able to" doesn't mean: "Google will treat each mention...." 
If Google (will) work(s) with mentions, they will now the fine differences, they know missspelling, what people mean and wich brand is ment. If they wouldn't be sure 200% they won't count - Thats what I think.

You shouldn't focus on PR because you don't know him. The PR value we see is last updated in December 2013, over one year old. And Google wouldn't update it again. So don't take PR as goal, would be a bit frusttrating, it wont change.

Take a look at your rankings, organic traffics or - if you want a value depending on links - Domain Authority / Page Authority/ Citation / MozTrust / ... - whatever.

BTW, I really love that google doesn't show us updates of PR, just because a lot of SEOs (and also some clients) I know focused to much on that little number. Thats a wrong way.

OK I hope we both speak the same language, but as long as we are on moz I do it in english Otherwise it would be hard for you to optimize that domain...

First, when did you start optimizing? Than, you used a lot of exact match phrases in the content, a bit to much for me when I highlight these words. I think you could link to some pages (like the wiki statistics u cite). You also don't link much intern. You can get a lot of positiv signals by linking intern whenever it fits. You don't have one backlink to that page (not Domain) and thats not normal

I hope you realized, that the page is perfect for "fernstudium arabisch" (I know taht a lot, lot, lot more people are searching for "larabisch lernen") - you got position one on that phrase. You may should search for some other keywords/querries - because arabisch lernen is possible in a lot of ways - apps, in school, books...

The Text isn't perfectly written, not a lot of synonyms/semantic - seems like you tried to build senteces with the exact phrase "arabisch lernen" - Here is what I mean: "steigenden Bedarf an Menschen, die Arabisch lernen" you know thats not correct - what you mean is "steigenden Bedarf an Menschen, die Arabisch sprechen". You put that phrase in a lot of senteces but excluded the h1 and url. Hmmm..

A lot more things are possible

Have you looked to the first 10 Results? Some Domains seem to have a linkprofile wich is really killing. Great Designs a lot benefits. What could you do better?

You may get a lot of visits via socials - actually should be somehting possible with that hashtag: #refugees - I don't know how to build a bridge to learn - but google made it with the G-translator - maybe you could brainstorm.

If you like german answers ^^ gplus in my profile + a lot onpage tipps in german on intenseo-blog, but one thing - you chose a pretty hard topic for a SEO Rookie - really. I think you end up pretty sad - you are challenging spiegel-online and a lot of universitys, i-Tunes and playstore. A well known language school just on position 10... Guess they got a lot more budget than you have - just because I saw there TV Ads... really hard topic, tuff competitors - best luck

thats easy, they are treated like duplicate content because they are.

The only difference is a different image - no text or anything else. There is in the best case (for a bot) only an alt-tag changing. Watch the sites with "browseo" and you will see it.

It's not a great idea to have relevant text in images. Only humans will see that. Write it on your website and add an image without text.

Nice to read: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/basics-of-search-engine-friendly-design-and-development

by the way, there are a lot of invisble images on that page, invisible for me.

Every Subdomain is a domain with own Domain Autority. In general I would not use sub-domains - in a few special cases it is a good decision, but normally a sub-domain is a new domain starting at zero. I like Landing Pages and Blogs in subfolders wich helps a lot for the existing domains autority.
By the way, links from subdomains du other subdomain (www, etc) are treaded like internal links.

Q:whether having subdomain like this would affect the traffic metric and ineffect affect the SEO and Rankings of our site
A: It would be better if it's a subfolder, but yes it will affect in traffic and that allways could lead you to better rankings

Q: does not affect the increase in domain authority
A: correct

Q:considered as seperate websites
A: yep!

Q: wanted to make sure that it does help in the overall domain
A: Like I said in A one it would be better with a subfolder (special the blog) but it wont hurt you

@number one: I think there was a time, where we made multi-language websites and where we directed the user (like you via 302) to his language. It is not the best way, which language speaks that google bot? 
I would say here you can find some answers: http://moz.com/learn/seo/international-seo

@3: I would say social shares and likes (no matter what social network) doesn't has an impact in google ranking. Ok google plus can be seen in SERPs when you are locked in ... but thats all. 
Of course websites with a lot af social activity often rank well, but thats correlation not causation. I mean, your social follower may build links, blog about you, share to friends, a.s.o.  - that could help, it would invrease your traffic, but to have a Like alone, doesn't help you rank better. Thats my opinion and think I am not alone, even Google told us something like that last days... May be popularity should play a role in some cases, but i really don't want to see popular sites, I like sites in SERPs answering my question in a brilliant way. SearchEngines couldn't see it in a really different way.

@2 sorry -I don't know a good companie for you

i would parse the js later and reduce it as much as possible. try pagespeed i take a bet it will say the same.
[Offtopic SEO but fits to your site: no chance for ASR vs FCB 2day ]

Sounds like you have an mobile optimized Website (responsive, correct redirects, somthing like that) or your website has a pretty good User-Experience when it is used on mobile and some of your competitors don't.

For more Tipps we need more details

Poah, images and text in iframes? Thats an SEO-issue right now - and one of the first to fix.
It wouldn't hurt you.

Everything what is providing useful infos for your customer to explain your products and helps him to decide to buy (or not) is great.

• images
• videos
• text
• reviews - ratings
• q&A

You can also ad something like related Products or people also bought (smatphone+smartphone-cover maybe)

I think that could help: https://moz.com/blog/perfecting-onpage-optimization-for-ecommerce-websites

a bit more technically: https://www.stonetemple.com/do-e-commerce-sites-completely-mess-up-their-seo/

If that's exactly the code - it is not a link, it's a mention of your site. A link is something like:

anchor

Theories exists, that it could count - but to answer the question, I think it do not count and you don't get linkjuice  
If you can see, that you get a lot of more direct traffic it may work for you, it wont hurt.

First - I never did that. My footers are pretty clean, sometimes links for users in it with easy-to-find content most of them wants to go. But in a lot of cases, there is faceted nav in sidebars. Where is the difference from a mobile-first point of view. Kill the footer and your sidebar is the footer

There are points you can do wrong with faceted nav - doesn't matter where it is. Think here you can find some stuff: https://moz.com/blog/large-site-seo-basics-faceted-navigation

By the way "top navigation cant be touched" is not true. But when it works perfectly you wont touch it. Until it is not, I touch it several times. If there is room for improvement you should do. But yes, it could have huge effects, so you need to be sure about what you are doing.

If the Penguin is wasn't started in the last few hours, the new "bad" links couldn't have caused a ranking-loss.

If you have bad links and you knew it - disavow them or ask the linking people to delete them. Disavow is a bit pointing Google on a thing they may not have noticed.
If the next penguin isn't a realtime update - you can't recover until the next-one. So if you have bad links (if) you need to get them away quickly - penguin is coming soon.

Go on for link earning by great, shareable & linkable content. 
That's hard to do, but the best thing you can do.

In this case, I wont even have a copy for the other languages. 
It is not useful to translate title and Description and still have 100% the same content.

Think the best option is really not to have them in all languages, or if there is no other option, noindex them and don't link to this duplicates in the different languages. If you want to link the english articles - ok - do it to the original once and mention that they are english only.  Linking from german content to english stuff often kills what google think about your domain.  At them moment you may talk a lot about "Autos" on your german domain, if you link to english stuff, you may talk a lot more about "fixing tyres" or "selfdriving". Just a silly example, but I think you know what I mean?

I killed something you think about doing now for a german client. 1-2 month later traffic doubled....

@ayofztk it doesn't work. Just google tech crunch and only tech crunch domain has tech crunch in domain name. A little special here, that's a navigational query.

You can rank with an EMD when the content is good enough, the popularity is good enough. Just a Keyword in a domain name doesn't help. Going away from a .com domain to something like you did ".blog" is also not the best idea,

thats what I prefer to do - describe the image with the alt tag.
When you can use the target Keyword (in step by step instruction you surely could find ways) do it, but describe the image first.

In our Agency we have thousands of clients with the same privacy policy (in german we have to have two of them called: impressum & datenschutz) - mosty the same content no penalty.

You can noindex it (some people do that) you can do nothing - there wont be a penalty for that. And privacy polciy sites are not the pages you focus to rank with in a tuff keyword area  
Think thats nearby what pixel by pixel said. But I would say - no penalty for your domain for sure.

Don't know really what you mean... Did you mean the SERP overlay? In that case: total/all external links.

what should be the problem? The dash (-) is no problem to answer the title of the question.
But you have to do a bit work onpag.

For example the nepal-trekking site has the title Nepal Tours but a heading with Nepal Trekking and the homepage has the title _Trekking In Nepal | Nepal Trekking | Hiking In Nepal _not sweet. And the homepage (on my computer) is very slow.

I guess there are some more little problems - but the titles are confusing for me - so I think google would be confused to

I truly believe that the user is one of the most underrated signals.
I wrote that, but I thought: "maybe it is more a reason than we think..."

I am suprised that there is an heading called "price" - consequently there shoulld stay "Sobha Aspirational Homes Price". That really does not mean you should do that!

For me it looks like a lot "Sobha Aspirational Homes" and a bit "coming soon". I think that could be to much. I don't know when I last found a site in google, when I searched for a keyword phrase, wich has the exact phrase in so many headings and alt-tags. It looks to me like you have made the site for a google bot, but not for me.

One funny thing is, this Q+A allready is ranked better in google.de. And each website on page one looks a lot more natural to me.

By the way: Sobha greenacres (the .com site in the footer) is linked with "Sobha Aspirational Homes" - thats not what you wanted to do I am sure.

What I realized last years, EMDs still have a lot of power. But when my clients changed to a branded Domain, the loss was not that big, as I expected. Mostly 3 month after changing the rankings where back. But thats just what I saw in europe in 4 or 5 cases..

I read about that a few mont ago in a german SEO Blog.

Linguee indexes your content (if you have several languages) and shows an translation example based on your content. They link to you several times. A linguee result looks like that:

http://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/uebersetzung/exzenterschnecke.html

If you have a lot of content in more than one language, you can get a lot of links from linguee. Maybe you can disallow linguee bot to index your pages. I thought google knows that problem, and don't see these links as unnatural

It's easy to say, if you are the best result for mobiles you will be shown. But thats not the question. The Problem is, if the content is important for desktop-searchers it will be important for mobile-searches to. It could effect a less mobile ranking (when I am right) - if the content is not important, why it exists?

It is not a problem to hide some content or don't show all the content you show on desktop page. How it is in your special case? Watch the mobile and Desktop Rankings. If the missing content is important for ranking, you should see that.

For Linkearning you need content wich is readable/shareable/linkable - really great stuff with a lot of value for others, without great content it is a Mission Impossible. So if thats part of your "onpage" - you need great value to share with the right people.

It's hard to answer this question, we don't really know how far u are and what you exactly mean with onpage or what the site's content is.
I think Links to products are pretty hard to get. You need content round about your products, linking to them. Outreach for Links to products could make you sad and depressive ...

PS: I think Rands last WBF helps a lot in saving time by do outreach in a better way: https://moz.com/blog/link-building-outreach-in-a-skeptical-world-whiteboard-friday

agreed -> that could be a way to check.
BTW: I think it is also a question for "brand searches" not only brand mentions. I mean, when people search the brand + Keyword its also needed that google knows the brand

I think you could have is the following problem:

You got a Domain wich earned Links bevore and these Links are still out there. Google can see them and you will again and again see them in WMT. 
You cant just say solved and than they are gone, caused by the backlinks. They come again. 
Check that in WMT - I dont know how it is called in english versions (I just see the german), you can click on the 404 and than take a look at "what is linking to that page"
An easy solution in that case may be to disallow "/fs" for bots. (if you dont use fs in your url structure)

I think you ment changes. And I am not the guy who likes to wait for the best ...
I allways take the "fetch-as-google-option". Best way to see results...

Sidewide Footer Links (ideal with Keywordrich Anchor) are awful. Nofollow Links shouldn't be a Problem, so you can ad that in your themes. You could kill them by yourselfe or change the default value for linking to theme author.

There couldn't be any good thing on such a link, so nofollow I think its ok, no link is better
Thats 2010-SEO and burried long time ago.

For the Links you allready have: You know your Linking-phrase, so:

search the web for that phrase,
sort them by domain,
make a disavow-file with these,
Submit them (thats what I would do)

By the way: Some Theme-Users are not to clever in SEO/Webdesign/Programming - they may simply change your link-class to "display:none" or change the link-color to background color. (I have seen a lot crazy things, including Theme by: zensored cheapest flights

I would prefer some more details- which keywords, why do you chose them, higher rankings means what? Two, Three or 20 Positions? How often is it searched and how much klicks do you have. Whats the Keyword trend?

Maybe the chosen Keyword is wrong, maybe the topic isn't as hot as last year, maybe its an ugly search snippet ...

depends, if 302 redirects included sure it has an impact. Also it is not great for crawling, not for your tools like moz, not for google - but more important imho - a redirect costs time, time a user may not want to spent. So I guess you want to reduce redirects to speed up your site. And of course it is best practice to have no redirects linked internally.

1. Disavow should be the last step - i prefer to contact webmasters first. But if you need to disavow, be carefull and do not disavow helpful links.

If you disavow Backlinks and earn new, surely they will be counted.

You can disavow a page, a domain or a subdomain - i bet also directories. If you have disavowed a domain and you get links from that domain, they will not be counted. So better you don't disavow the complete wordpress domain including all subdomains

I know  
I just took your language topic to say it rankbrain iproves understanding. Don't thought you excluded other languages rly. Special with such a typical german lastname

If you have redirected the URLs correctly you should fatch the homepage as Google in WMT and send them including all refereing links. the new URLs are pretty fast in SERPs than.

The rest is like Ryan Purkey said - thumb up

This is a thing wich is pretty much normal for a lot of CMS-Templates. It is not best practice, each SEO-Tool will tell you to use only one h1 wich is unique. Don't have equal H1-Tags everywhere. Thats the best practice.

According to John Mueller and my experience, Google is not stupid. It is possible to have more than one H1-Tag. Now it depends on how much factors you are serving well. You and your competitors. These H1 alone is not such a big factor. It is working if you have a second headline with the main-topic of your website. A lot more stuff is relevant. If it is not easy possible to change it, you can deal with it and care about other factors.  Special if they are in different sections.

If it is possible, I would allways follow best-practices (specially for smaller or newer domains/companies). One thing sounds wrong "he H1 text being the brand's name, as this is what we'd want the title of the page to be" - I mean, the title (bet you ment the h1) should be what the page is about.  Without alt-attribute you current H1 is a simple image, wich means it is empty.

You ask what is working better - Better is to have an H1 unique on every page. Dont use Headings as style Elements and yes, give an alt-attribute for your logo. Thats defenetly a better way, but it is not impossible to do like you did. Like I said, I am pretty long in this business, thatswhy Logos, Sidebar- & Footerheadlines, all style Elements are not SEO-Elelements when I create Webpages. But yes - I also work for websites without changing h1-logos and h3 menu-items (cms-reasons). And it is possible to rank in hard topics. Favorite answer - it depends.

It is the "normal" way to do it, often times pages are looking for region or browser language and redirect, but thats not the question here.

Yes you may need to take care about some links you have control about in any way (yelp, linkedin, socials - whatever it is).  But I bet you link to all languages. Your Homepage  for example links to the other language-versions of the homepage. So the "juice"  you thought is going to one language, would be sent to the other languages in smaller portions.  How it should be, so no Problemo..

Yoast SEO Plugin is doing that since years.
You are able to chose a Twitter/OG-image, a separate title and description - for both twitter and OG.

All you need...
For the homepage, pages and posts - for everything. Working in free version...

I would simply ad noindex in taxonomy (tag) - easy done with yoast, otherwise edit header.php and ask if is tag, than noindex meta tag. I guess it is Wordpress

I never saw a drop in Rankings when I was changing the Description. Couldn't be, it's not a (direct) ranking factor. But of course, changing titles should be done carefully.

What seems to be better for CTR sometimes is worse for SEO. The title is one of the most important on-page-factors, so yes - could be the reason.

Maybe you should change one title page with clear losts results and organic traffic back, send to google and check later again.  Then you will see, if changing was the reason, I think it was.

Yep that would do it, but it is a little bit tricky with the brands. You know an "adidas predator" page will never rank for "nike air max" but both ar shoes.

So you have to make clear that it is not 90% branded traffic , it should be more unbranded keywords.  In this case - before I would do anything, I would try to figure out why subfolder 2 is ranking for these terms and why subfolder 1 is not.

It is part of the free version as i mentioned above.

The interface is changing a lot, you can find it right after pages / posts. Where you can change Meta Description and Title. At the Moment (newest YOAST Version) there is on the left side a light-gray "Share-Icon" if you click there, you can edit the social tags.

I watched both pages now and what I can say is - I like your page more
I love that the first four results don not use that title: "tiny house trailer"

I really think you are a lot better in a lot of things - I checked a bit, I found a lot of duplicate content - Aaron Gray hint with copyscape was a good one It's also the same image, that could be a reason

http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o=31218&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinyhomebuildingcompany.com%2Fplans---trailers.html&t=1443515521&s=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinyhomebuilders.com%2Ftiny-house-trailers&w=123&i=1&r=1
