Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My links on P0 are allways cutted, at least I have some links in the content, seems that it doesn't matter or wont hurt you. For the optimization: Izzy Smith did a pretty useful presentation (https://tech-seo.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Practical-Insights-into-Winning-Rich-and-Featured-Snippets.pdf) and at MOZ of course there are a lot of things about that topic - i love this one: https://moz.com/blog/what-we-learned-analyzing-featured-snippets.

Idk what you mean with Keywordlimit, but maybe the two blue Links will answer your question. Optimization for P0 is less Keyword-thinking, more about get the User Intent and answer the questions.

If you do SEO for germany and want to rank in bing - buy an EMD thats enaugh. Sound scarry but it works. But in germany you can earn 2 clicks in a month on search querries wich are searched in Google thousendtimes a day.

if we take a search query, than we say: google something - noone googles something on bing. to google is now a german word for "search in the internet" and has his place in our dictonary.

But I think the differnce normal couldn't be so big. MoosaHemani must be right - I truly hope bing delivers better SERPs in countries where webmasters and searchers use bing.

if there is no difference, why try to do as if? 
If the products are similar and the image is the same I usually take the same image.

I don't know the shop and products, but if the products are the same, even the description, content and so on, you should think about using a canonical tag (from an SEO perspective):

I think you can also take a look at this WBF... (comment marketing as inbound tactic)
Moosa Hemani is right
A friend came up with the same question, maybe the dofollow blog has an "nofollow" Meta Tag? His "dofollow" Blog had a index, nofollow robots-meta-tag.
I wouldn't comment for dofollow Links...

Hi,

I wrote a post about Google & Sitemaps think two month ago, (https://intenseo.de/seo-blog/google/google-sitemaps/) unfortunately in german. So I guess I have to translate the stuff:

• A Sitemap should have not more than 50,000 entrys (Google-News-Sitemaps only 1,000)
• and should not be bigger than 50MB

So you have to split it and you allready did.

Now your Main-Sitemap is pointing to other Sitemaps (zipped, but thats not a problem), ok. So whenever GSC is telling me, my Sitemap has errors or no entrys, I open it and check. I did, I just opened the first one, look what is in it:

NoSuchKey<message>The specified key does not exist.</message><key>sitemaps/sitemap1.xml</key><requestid>97FFA90B9843EBCA</requestid>vBzVH8Lx9fLYpPgv5SKfSzlKb4lcGxX4+V9JBO4f/M7HiDXQJT/hoLd9b/IYWanl06M41M4oCN8=

I opened all of your Sitemaps, no entries in it.At least, Google indexed >8,000 Pages, but not by Sitemap thats for sure.

You can just create sitemaps with Tools (link at the bottom) or with  e.g. screaming frog and upload them to your server (zipped or not doesn't matter) sent to google and done. If your System is not working at the moment, easy workaround for short.After that - try to find the Bug in creating your sitemaps, solve it and sent these to Google. Before you sent them, open your sitemaps and check if they are working. Don't wait weeks, Google is fast.List of Sitemap Generators: https://code.google.com/archive/p/sitemap-generators/wikis/SitemapGenerators.wiki

The title should be pretty unique and is a huge ranking factor. It should fit to the content and (imo) to the h1 tag.

The content of the description isn't used for ranking, but makes the differnce between click or no click.
What I also saw: it is better to have no Meta Description (if the content is good enaugh) as often the same Description.
I saw many many pages ranking bad, wich fast get a bit better when I made the descriptions unique. So it may be a ranking faktor how unique the page is. Wich means everything - content, pics, titles, descriptions ... I am running a lot of tests wich take a look on that

Like [Peter Nikolow](https://moz.com/users/view/397332) said, you need a special sitemap - that one for both like the code above or in his link i guess, or a special mobile sitemap. Your mobile Sitemap is not a mobile Sitemap, the mobile one should look like this:

 <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0"><url><loc>http://mobile.yourdomain.com/article100.html</loc></url></urlset> 

Tom Roberts said what you need. In my country (I don't know where u are from, but you said engl. isn't your native language - so it's also not mine) it is pretty hard to tell people, that it is not usefull to see things like ranking positions and earned backlinks. But earned links can be come from anywhere not your active work and rankings are just - like tom said - a point of organic visits.

Here a lot of people think you can rank under silly keywords wich are searched a lot and you can make organic traffic looks good, when u rank under such keywords. When your client understand, that this is simply not the truth, the three points are all you need (Traffic, Revenue, Conversations/leads)

breakdowns like branded vs non branded, mobile vs desktop are possible.

Hope you live in a country, where people know a bit more how internet/search works. I had to refuse potential clients, because they simply don't understand (or even tried or try to believe)

edit: saw that Tim Holmes mentioned mobile so thumb up 4 you tim

I have some posts in wordpress in more than one category. The post doesn't exist more than one time, the other categories redirect the user to the one and only post, that exist.

So try to open the one post in one category and than the same post in another category. You will the see the same, I think there are no duplicate posts caused by categories in wordpress. It also doesn't matter if it will be two seperate parent categories or a parent and a child category.

Tipp: if you put a post in a sub-category (category/subcategory) you can selected the sub-category as the only one. The post will exist in all parents.

Wohoo, thats looks like a broken website.  I mean, the hompage is nearby empty.  That is thin content.  
And on mobile .... White burger-menu on white background? Not a good decision.

Some Content Pages look good on mobile, so its not really empty.
Chrome Console gives me a lot error-messages.
You have comparison pages and they are nothing but duplicate content.

Thats just one visit and took me one minute. I think you have a lot of problems and I bet you know a lot (from a users perspective), you need a plan how it should be and try to make a strategy how to reach that level.

Sorry I am running out of time, but there is a lot of stuff to do.

even seomoz.org is shown when you search it with site-parameter.
No error as long as it is not shown for search queries

A: Subdomain: I think to take the subdomain is pretty useless - it is just like a new domain. May be worther (internal links b2b-b2c)

B: Subfolder: Of course you have a bonus in that case, the growth potential shouldn't be limited that much, as long as you won't chose the old CMS (you wrote that you wont).

A new site: I would try that way (but that is my liking). I would Link both sites to each other where ever (natural and relevant) possible. The way for the B2C site is long, in both ways B or C, but in case C, you can link back to the B2B site, so the old site can benefit. There are so many opportunities. I think it should be also possible to link them sitewide, I guess Google wouldn't see that as a manipulative linkbuilding. To much fear? Ask John Mueller in a webmaster hangout for his best practice tipps.

ok, that would be my choice. But one thing is clear, A is not really an option wich brings you in a better position from start up.

target for optimization may be: Make it easy for a user to login with all devices

Its a redirect from non trailing-slash to trailing-slash version of the page, which ends up in a broken 404-Page.

Remove all internal Links to the Dealers/Downloads page. That should solve the Problems from an SEO POV. But why the 404-Page is broken? Think it is  the breadcrumb, shouldn't came up if all linked Pages exist. Funny is - I don't saw breadcrumbs anywhere.

BTW - on my Laptop it is impossible to use the menu.  The basket Icon is in the second line of your menu, makes it impossible to click on a sub-link in the menu.

You don't have a benefit with a new domain or subdomain at the start (without some myth I never saw) - but in future: a link of a former new domain to the old B2B site would be worth more, than a link from a subdomain or folder. Its a benefit for the old B2B site (when u link to it and that will happen several times) - the new B2C site is hard work

Matt Cutts said once  in a video that "the punishment will not be passed on to your site. However, you will lose the value of the untrusted site's link."  But if it was nofollow, it never had value.

How they figured that out? Maybe they talk to each other, or they are simply not visible in Google anymore. But they can't know that for sure . At least it wont hurt you. Google them, put them into rank trackers (semrush or whatever) and see if there is some big change in visibility. Than you can asume a penalty or update hit.  But, I bet John Muller also said, what Matt Cuts was saying, normal case - no passing of punishment.

Thats a really good question and I can only tell you my own point of view. Even in SEO-world in done and not done. I just think like this:

According to Google, use nofollow for

• not trustworthy pages you link to
• paid links
• crawl prioritization

So one and two  is not the case (hopefully I can trust your socials). 
To Point three, some webmasters really want to safe "PR" or "DA" with not passing it to pages using nofollow. This is not working, the PR is just send to nirvana. You can't save it, it is divided by links - no matter if the are followed or not. So the only reason in point 3 is - you don't want Search Engines to notfollow and notindex your socials (last is done if you nofollow them or not) - so my Point of View:

I just use nofollow in cases Google says I should (you can btw read it here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en). Socials is not one of these cases, so I use Follow .

Add: Comments and User-Generated-Content is also a good Idea of using nofollow - dont know if Google mentions that on the given Page)

Dont just copy and paste withoutout canonical - thats duplicate content.
I would translate as much as possible just to serve my usuall quality to spain. Why should I do less than I can? I like to do things right - not just do them...

Don't forget international SEO (hreflang a.s.o): https://moz.com/learn/seo/international-seo

Thats what I would do. Maybe I wouldn't have used a new domain - like to use one .. thats me, what are the others thinking?

1. Search Console tells you, that they use a canonical for the homepage, that doesn't mean John Mueller is talking about that in this webmaster hangout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAagTHeF9N0)

2. I can just guess, think it could be a structure thing, and maybe it is to fresh - 6 month old site with several regions set-up in same language. So a lot of duplicates, canonicals aso Google has to deal with. And of course, Homepage is strong, your landingpage may not be strong enaugh.   And whatever happens on Googles Page 5 is more or less useless data. If it still happens when you are on page 2, guess than there is a real problem.  At the moment, without knowing anything, asuming hreflangs, canonicals are right, think it is a structure, time, pagerank combined thing.

3. You can use canonicals and it depends, if you need them, you need them - no matter if hreflang in use or not.  You have to send the same signals, not confusing once. I think here is helpful stuf about hreflang and canonicals working together (https://www.searchviu.com/en/hreflang-canonical/)

4. It depends on depth, difficulty, and a lot more factors. I cant say anything here without topic or domain / page

5. You use hreflang, so you tell google what to rank where. Sending confusing signals (hreflang to a page wich has a canonical to anywhere wich has an hreflang-back  to that page. Nice confusing chain... ) google will start to ignore your canonicals in this case

Hope that helps a bit

If all your internal links go to the final url  (https & www ) you won't have this issue. 
But if you link to http or without www internaly, then this issue comes up. So simple, don't link  to pages wich redirect, link to the final url.

What yoast told you is correct, you want wrong set backlinks redirected to your final version or sent the direct traffic to your preffered domain....

Could not imagine why that should be bad.

Each Product Feature is good to be explained (for the user at least). Linking between different sub-directories in general is not a problem. The only thing what could make a "Problem" is, that your guides are linked a lot better than the rest. I usually ask myselfe: Is that link useful for the user? And if the answer is yes, I care less about possible Problems. I just think twice when it is an external Link.

Additional, for internal Linking - https://moz.com/blog/should-seos-care-about-internal-links-whiteboard-friday

Ive never has that problem (or a client) so i cant say you are punished. I thought google wouldn't punish the original, just the copy - but if they link to each other it may (should) happen.

So - take the replic-domain - redirect everything 301 to the orignial - ask google for indexing the duplicate Pages (complete domain) with Google Search Console. That should work faster than just wait.

If nothing happen, it was something different

Hi Isaac,

You get the link juice (if it's a followed link oc) but wordpress is working with subdoamains. The blog is not www.wordpress.com/bloggersitename - it is bloggersitename.wordpress.de (check that site:www.wordpress.com and site:wordpress.com in google).

You can check the Subdomain Autority and Trust using the moztoolbar. For Searchengines a subdomain is like a new domain. They don't have a special bonus because it is wordpress.com.

Fast answer is click on the face and scroll down. Not sure if you really have to scroll, yoast design was changing last weeks. But you will find it if you click the face.

Ok that should answer everything, because Yoast shows you what it means you are not doing or not doing good enough.  And what todo exactly! For both KW-Optimization and Readability.

Special for readability is, you can click on an eye-Icon wicht shows you the sentence where you are doing wrong in a colored mark-up.

But, to see this, you cant be in most Pagebuilders, you have to be in the WP-Editor mode, so for some Pagebuilders  eg Elementor you need to go to WP-Editor. to see what yoast is saying.

And for some other pagebuilders, yoast sometimes don't see the text and dont know if it is optimized. But in this case the face would be red I guess.

I think it is not necessary to redirect the duplicate domain, just a faster way 2 show that the content is on the original only.

Depending on the topic and competitors, changing the title can make a huge difference and that pretty quickly...

Make BlogPosts just to be able to link to other own-Domains is wasting time and money.
Make Blog Post for Users wich helps answering questions (wich may earn links) is a better idea for a blog.

The "brilliant Idea" starts wrong, I usually dont think "what can I do for search engines" (Admit - years ago I did, I was young and needed the money :D)

Google Analytics will track everything if it is implemented and it is working. It doesn't matter if the page is noindex or nofollow. That has nothing to do with Google Analytics. Not sure what you mean with "external site links" - but whatever you mean, guess you do it on your follow/index pages, so it will work.

I was wondering about site/ brand-names added to the title by google to, than I realized that Google is only doing this brandname at the end (and truncated titles to display the brandname completely) for searches that are also including the site or brand name. The same search without the site/brand name shows the usual title tag.

Maybe you should check that.

There are tools, maybe without notification, maybe with. But they are often times not 100% accurate. To be accurate you should check GSC external Links. Tools show you thinks often times late or links google don't knows (maybe). Think ahrefs, semrush or even moz linkexplorer is checking links including new and gone links. You can include GSC Links in semrush - so the basis are accurate.  Bet thats the same for some other tools, but I only know it for sure in semrush. You can get a report from semrush so it maybe fits your needs.

Links from xyz.wordpress.com and abc.wordpress.com are 2 different links from 2 domains. Not one of them has the "DA" of www.wordpress.com because thats also a different domain.

We can say, that google is seeing it that way and not. Not because, in search console linking domain would be "wordpress.com". Noretheless they are different in a lot of points, DA is the most important one.

If you get more links from the same domain, it makes them less and less important (for every new link, not the old links). In my tests (wordpress & blogspot) it was the case, that it was less and less for the one linking subdomain, not all the sub-domains. Somehow understandable? So the answer is "it depends" The test is not 100 % accurate and hard to compare but seems like thats the way it is.

What I also realized, when I get high increase in organic traffic and I have done nothing and no update was going on, it is mostly one new organic link. You can build links as much as you want but organic links beat everything and I dont know how google can figure that out so clearly.

So when you have a good amount of links, you should focus on your user. Like I do, thatswhy I cant tell you how MOZ or any other Tool is handling it, I simply do not care that much.

One of my former competitors has 10 times more Links as we have and today I call him "former" competitor. Former because we reached a new level, he not. We have now 9times more organic traffic and he still stuck where he is since a year. Well we have a single Page with more monthly organic visitors than his domain. We started on the same level 1.5 years ago. I did not build one single link, I just focus on users. A lot users, talking about hundrethousands organic visitors, for germany in this niche a lot. Ok we are now going into other topics, but thats not the point here.

All these topics are finance topics so maybe a YMYL special thing, but I have some more domains wich work better and better without building links and non-YMYL topics. But there is a lot great content wich makes the domains earn links. At least you need an entry, a dooropener to get links coming in.

Woop - to much hah So you are somehow right, but dont think to much link Anyway - Good Luck!

I bet you will find noone who tested it. I can just tell you, what I would do and why.

I would take a new domain and here is why: Using a subdomain is like using a new domain. so why take a risk when not needed? I mean, in theory, it is like a new domain. It should be possible to pick a subdomain without problems. But I wont do that because I don't know how Google is treading porn-sites really.
