Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why delete content?

If this content is indexed well, my solution would be a 'This job-search is closed, but we got more like this!' section on all closed / expired threads.

That sucks...

A year ago I would have said to create a portal of domain B with shallow content that links to domain A. I was in the same situation.

The problem is that nobody is going to feed domain B if the company becomes non-existent. The page will drop eventually. Besides that, google doesn't seem to like shallow portal websites ;).

Right now I would:

• Create a 'our company is now ....' email template
• Fire up OpenSiteExplorer and find backlinks for Domain B
• Aks all these nice people to change their link to the relevant Domain A page

dirty work...

So what your saying is:

1. SEOmoz says these pages can't get indexed by search engines because of our robot.txt

2. We don't want these pages indexed and blocked them using robots.txt

My initial reaction is: no problem, SEOmoz is just showing you as a 'confirmation warning' that these pages are not indexed, but since you did that on purpose, it's okay.

Hope this helps!

Some SEO's try to minimize the internal link-juice-exchange by using internal no-follow as well.

I personally doubt if it will help, but I think the intention is to focus all PageRank on the homepage and not distribute it to subpages such as 'customer services'.

I think you need to implement a 'canonical tag' on this page.

Hi there,

In a week or two I'll give my first internet marketing presentation to a local business club. Ill walk them through the basics of what is happening online, and how both B2B and B2C business can use their online assets as marketing tools.

I want some basic statistical data to back up my story, like:

• Current web usage distribution (social/search/media etc)
• Growth of Mobile vs Desktop
• Search Engines distribution (google bing yahoo msn)
• Online retail numbers

To top it all off, I would also like to be able to show both worldwide and The Netherlands data.

What is my best bet for some serious datamining ;)?

Thanks in advance for helping me out!
