Hi All,
I'm having problems editing the title tags on individual pages on Squarespace. It seems the only way to do it is via the page title name. Here is an example: http://www.autismsees.com/research/. The page is called research, so it makes that the meta title. The problem is I want to keep research on the page and the Meta Title be: Autism Spectrum Research. I'v tried searching over the web, but no luck so far. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I probably already know the answer to this question. But, When you use a rel no follow tag on an internal link or external link. Will the google bot still navigate to the link, in question? Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I was wondering, if anyone knew how moz handles non provided keywords? is it not displayed, or is it labeled as something else? I know in WMT, it still displays it. Thanks for your help.
I had a quick question, I want to do schema markup for a local business. Do I need to put it on every page, or just the home page? Also, where should put it i.e. Header, Body, or footer
So, generally speaking, Google will consider something an exact match anchor text, if it's over a certain threshold?
So, I was thinking to myself today. Couldn't Google say everything is an exact match anchor text in reality? Such as, Hyundai in Boston, Or cars in boston? I'm just concerned, that's all. Thanks for your help.
Hi Matt,
Yes the duplicate is coming from index.html . So, when you click back to the homepage it goes to that. How would you suggest I get rid of that? Thanks for your help.
I have a question. I was wondering, if it was possible to set up a rel canonical. When I can't access the non canonical pages? For example, my site as at www.site.com , but the non cannocail is at site.com is their any way to set thet up without actually edting it at site.com ? Thanks for your help
So, if I'm correct this means that if you have a your logo in say the header of every page. Then, it is internally linking back to the home page. Would that be right?
For question one, would that be a contextual link, or a navigation link, or both?
Hello, here are my questions.
1:Should I be internal linking back to my home page from every subpage or lower page on my site. Or, is that going overboard?
2: If i'm internal linking back to a page with an anchor text that has no relation to the page, will that pass less relevance? So for example lets say the current page is about mazda cars. Then, I link to a page about ford cars with the anchor text Mazda cars that would pass less relevance, right?
Thanks for your help
So, if I have cookies stored and i'm logged out. That would probably give more personalized results. Even though I may be logged out?
Yes Miriam, this is crystal clear. I really appreciate your help.
My question is, how does google personalize the search results for non logged in users and incoqnito searches? I already know about the location personalization whether you're logged in or not and auto complete. But, is personalization still helping in the other cases. Does for example Google keep track of your I.P and then match suggestions that way? Additionally, any other resources would be great.
So then the question is, If I do have two numbers on each NAP for local listing citations and Directories. How does Google know which is the preferred number and which number will come up when someone searches for my website?
This is one of my competitor's sites. I ran the on-page report card and the word Hyundai is on the page 102 times, and 67 times in the body. Here is the link: http://www.rosenhyundai.com
I would love to hear your guys opinion, if this is keyword stuffing and could it get penalized by panda? Thanks for your help.
Okay, so my question is, if I list my Google Listing with a toll free and local phone. Then, I list other listings(Yellow pages, Yelp, Insider pages etc) with just purely a toll free number. Would that affect the rest of my citations? Thanks for your help Miriam.
The reason I'm asking this question is. I was on the phone with a Google Rep yesterday for one of my google places. It was in reference to map maker and the fact that I only wanted one number on the listing. About a month ago I had it, so I deleted the listing's local number and than had an 877 number. The problem is when I checked on Friday the Local number was then added back by a Google moderator in Map Maker. So, now there's two numbers on the listing. He told me that would not affect my NAP info, which I don't believe.
He also went on to say that Google goes through listings and if they have an 800 number they may delete it and replace place it with a local number.
Has anyone delt with this and can Verify what he says to be true? Additionally, will my NAP be affected if this is the case? Thanks.
Okay thank you so much Miriam!
I want something like this, so basically if someone searches Car Dealer. That this would appear after the Local Search results. Is this possible for a local business, After the local search results? Or, is it only possible in the local search results not the purely just organic results? I hope that solves it thanks.
Sorry for the text formatting, it won't let me change it.
Hi Miriam, sorry for the confusion. So, do you not think it would be beneficial to have schema for the properties of a place, as it would allow me to show the business reviews rating/ aggregate rating in the search? Basically I want it so when someone searches something relating to a car dealer. That if Google chooses to show my URL then it will be accompanied by the business reviews rating/ aggregate rating in the search. I feel it would help to increase the CTR. I hope that makes sense.
Why does Google recommend schema for local business/ organizations? The reason I ask is I was in Structed Data Testing Tool, and I was running some businesses and organizations through it. Yet every time, it says this "information will not appear as a rich snippet in search results, because it seems to describe an organization. Google does not currently display organization information in rich snippets".
Additionally, many of times when you do search the restaurant or a related query it will still show telephone number and reviews and location. Would it be better to list it as a place, since I want to have its reviews and location show up thanks?
I would be interested to hear what everyone else opinions are on this thanks.
Thanks for the response Keri, I appreciate it.
My question is why do my GWT's links not match up to the ones on Open Site Explorer. I watched John Mueller's video, and he said that they had problems with the link counts recently. After checking my links today, I can see that the problem is fixed, but my link count differs from Open Site Explorer. On Web Master Tools I have 307 links, but on Open Site Explore I have 42. Has anyone dealt with this problem? thanks.
Peter
Hi, so iv been searching around the internet, and I have come up with the general consensus that footer links that link to external sites are bad? Can anyone verify this statement? Also when do Footer links become spammy, and what is your opinion on site wide footer links?
I have also read that if you are a bigger brand, that you most likely would be able to get away with some more things(such as, linking to external sites) thanks for your help.
Peter
Okay So, your saying that any keyword after 70 characters are not going to get much weight than in google's eyes.
Here is my question, I know that after 70 characters or a certain pixel width. Google cuts off your title tag in the SERPS. I also know it will still index title tags up to 255 characters I think it is,.
My question is if I have words or characters after the 70 characters limit. will this show up in the search? Or will Google only look at the first 70 characters in terms of relevance? I hope that makes sense thanks.
Peter
Okay thanks Sean, I appreciate it.
Peter
So, I have searched around the internet but, I still can't find the answer.What is Keyword Rich Anchor Text? Is it basically just exact matching to the page. For example if my page was www.randonmpage.com would a keyword rich anchor text be randompage? Thanks.
Peter
Okay, so i have read around, and watched Matt Cutts' video on this and read rand's post about this. But, I still have questions; how many times should I use a keyword on a page? I have read for shorter pages 2-3X and 4-6X for longer pages. I know to put it in the url title h1, the first paragraph and sprinkle it around the page. Is it all realtive to how long the content is? or should I just be following the 2-3X and 4-6X rule? Thanks for your help.
Peter
Thanks for your response Irving, I appreciate it.
Hi I had a general question? How many Keywords should I be targeting per Title Tag? I usually use 1-2, and maybe a brand name. I just want to make sure i'm doing it right thanks.
Peter
Hi Guys,
I just had a quick question, is it truly possible to rank number one worldwide/nationally for a keyword phrase these days such as, Computer repair services. I'm not too concerned with the local serps that come up above the fold. I'm just more concerned, if Google is looking to serve more local results into the regular serps listing? I hope that makes sense thanks.
Best,
Peter
Okay, Thanks for your help Vikas, I appreciate it.
Hi everyone,
So, I have some general question's about Title tags. My question's are as follows:
1. If i have a title tag like this 'Commercial bathroom instillation '. Will I show up for Commercial bathroom or Commercial bathroom instillation? The reason I ask is, i'm aiming for Commercial bathroom which has more search volume, but here is where the problem comes in.
If I have Commercial bathroom instillation it is a more compelling title. Ideally i'm aiming for Commercial Bathroom, so im in a bit of a conundrum, as you can see.
2. My second question is if I have 'Bath Review and Shower review' for my title tag. Will I show up for Bath Review individually, and shower review individually, or only when someone search's that exact query? I hope that makes sense thanks.
Peter
Thanks for the answer Matt I appreciate it
Hi everyone, just wanted to clarify some things, i've heard about a million different things on this; I just wanted to ask if duplicate content is a myth or its not thanks.
