If you are doing it as a way of formatting the page and still offering an option or button that allows the user to see the rest of the text, then it is not the same thing that you are thinking of in regards to Google. Google states that you should not hide text on the page to purposely try and trick the search engine.

In E-Commerce situations it is very common to hide part of the text, for instance when you have 4 tabs for "description, features, specification, colors, etc." it is a good idea to use a 'display: none' so that all 3 of the tabs are not shown all the time. This is not considered Black Hat, it is considered good design.

Matt Cutts has said quite a few times, if it is good for the user it is good for Google.

It is when you intentionally hide a block of text on the page with no way for the user to view it that you are using Black Hat technique.

The amount of juice you will lose will be made up in the long run by having the keyword in the page name.SEO should be a long-term goal, and having the keyword in the page name is the best situation.

I have, and would recommend, doing it.

I'm assuming that you are doing it on a new domain company and not buying old domain names, and these domain names are the same as the main company to make sure no one else has them or types them in wrong.

In this scenario lets assume we are using mydomain.com and bought mydomain.biz. I would, if using cPanel, use a parked domain which is an alias and use an htaccess to make sure that all incoming traffic are using or 301'ed to the correct domain.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This will keep you from having duplicate content, and having to create a few sites and redirect them either through Javascript or other means like a php header("location: http://www.mysite.com"); .

Hope that helps.

There are a few ways I would approach this. In order:

1. Run a find in files using one of the text editors I use for coding, either UltraEdit or PhpEd, you can use whatever you are comfortable with,

2. Check the server logs for that page, it should show a referring page, which may not be on your site,

3. or just do a 301 from it to your home page or a relevant page. I have had situations where people link to the wrong page and I redirect them instead of letting it 404,

4. If you are sure it is an actual link on your site, and maybe it is being generated (you didn't post a link so I don't know which site you are referring to) , and not a redirect from somewhere, consider paying someone $5 on http://fiverr.com/ to find it.

Susan,

Have not heard back from you.

Does this help?

Have you tried this method?

Looking for additional insight?

Rank Tracker has it's own built in 'Find free proxies' just like most other software that I have tried with mixed results. I treat everything as a business, so if it costs me money to save time, or headaches, that's what I do.

I do have the whole suite, but tend not to use the other items, but that is solely a personal thing and you should not base your decision on that. Download the trials.

I have Rank Tracker set to fire off every morning around 4 to do my bidding, er checking. It works great if you use paid proxies, but using my own IP it just asks me to fill out captchas. I imagine I could set it to run slower to avoid that. I do have the whole suite, but only found that Rank Tracker was the only tool I had a use for.

Updates seem to be fairly regular, about every 2 weeks. As for pricing, the amount of time it saves me on a weekly basis had it paid for itself in about six weeks.

The IP address issue is more of an Apache issue as you have already mentioned, but the IP won't play into this issue.

There are 2 ways to help this fix itself:

1. Add Canonicals to all your pages,
2. Use an htaccess file with this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[0-9]+(.[0-9]+){3} [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bradyid.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bradyid.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This will fix a few things, 1 removing anything that is linked to the IP address to be forwarded to the domain version, move anything that is linked to the mis-configured Apache to resolve properly.

This shouldn't work: http://12.69.60.161/ but it does.

Where's the xml sitemap? add that to your to-do list

The few things I would point out, which aren't so much WordPress issues, but are how this WordPress installation is configured, are:

1. No description tag, that is in the 'Settings -> General' page
2. Well over 100 links on the home page, mostly because of the 'Blog Archive', are people actually clicking on those items?
3. No good H1 tag, the one that was created by the theme "Athletic Foodie" has been commented out and the current (second) one is, "How about a 2,000-year-old Salad? Kale!!", a poor descriptor of the page.
4. Dangling links, some of the images are linked to themselves, that is set on the post or page they are created on.
5. The page names 'slugs' don't usually match their titles, ex, Fiber: health benefits for athletes...., would be: 'fiber-health-benefits-athletes', etc.
6. From a user standpoint, way too much text, the full posts could be reduced by using excerpts and linking to a separate page, increasing load time, and most likely page views. Would you scroll all the way to the bottom? What if it was half or a quarter this size?
7. The 2 main items "Recipes" & "Videos" go offsite? And they are follow links! What the!

Cheers.

The amount of juice you will lose will be made up in the long run by having the keyword in the page name.SEO should be a long-term goal, and having the keyword in the page name is the best situation.

I have, and would recommend, doing it.
