Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Kristina,

Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. I'll follow Rand's tweet for additional insights.

Not really. I can only think of the Facebook blog comments (with the word reply), but it doesn't make sense Google would use it that way.

As I claimed, it's a discussion not yes or no answer. Here are my two cents -

I usually use the self-referral canonical to avoid and more duplicates, just like any other pages.

I'll give you a quick example:

Lets say you have this page: example.com/shoes?p=1

In case I use the other filters onsite (very common to eCommerce sites) it might look like this:

example.com/shoes?p=1&type=nike&color=red

To avoid this I use the self-referral canonical anyway.

Once and for all - I would really like to get a few opinions regarding what is the best method working for you.

For most of the all timers in here there's no need to introduce the pagination tag. The big question for me is regarding the canonical tag in those case. There are 2 options, as far as I consider:

Options 1 will be implementing canonical tag directing to the main category page:

For instance:

example.com/shoes

example.com/shoes?page=2

example.com/shoes?page=3

In this case all the three URL's will direct to the main category which is

example.com/shoes

Option 2 - using self-referral canonical for every page.

In this case  - example.com/shoes?page=2 will direct its canonical tag to example.com/shoes?page=2 and so on.

What's the logic behind this? To make sure there are no floating pages onsite. If I'll use canonical that directs to the main category (option 1) then these pages won't get indexed and techniclly there won't be any indexed links to these pages.

Your opinion?

Hi Kritina,

Thanks for the very through answer. We have implmented the schema.org and removed the "buy" keywords from all the titles.

However, it still seems we see the reply in the titles.

I thought about other option - perhaps it's concerning the mobile serving - they use the dynamic serving method. Do you think there might be an issue in here?

Anybody?

Hi Alice,

This form and code are on every single page, including the homepage

Do you still think it's not problematic?

When I check the cached version (text only) I can see it as part of the overall text

What do you think? It may penalize my website or do you find it legit?

Hi Umar,

Nope, but we'll implement it.

However, I'm not sure that's the issue. That might resolve this, but still we don't understand how the "reply" came out. It seems to me it indicates a much wider issue. Also, the post you provided is not exactly the same, as it's related to a scenario in which a page have two title tags. That's not the case. Furthermore, we still don't have a clue where the "reply" came from.

Hi all,

I've read the FAQs and searched the help center. My URL is: http://www.leibish.com/I just discover it today - when searching on mobile for the brand name (search for "Leibish") I find the following title: Reply (see the attached image).Also, when searching for site:leibish.com +reply you'll find at least a few dozens indexed pages with this title.I checked for the following:1. Link bombing - check with ahrefs and majestic - everything seemed fine.2. Alt tag or other hidden text  - couldn't find anything. 3. DMOZ or Yahoo directory submissions with this anchor text - yet, nothing.Besides the fact that I must fix this issue I find it fascinating from the SEO perspective. I need the big guns in here - can you help my resolve this mystery? :-)Thanks...
