Hi

We're making our new website responsive and are thinking of using a solution that would resize the images using javascript.

So the image would be displayed like this <div data-src="/img/200x100.png">div>

depending on what size fits the screen

Is is okay for SEO? Or do we also need a fall back that doesn't use javascript?

Thanks

Hi Chris. I don't care about the trade partner. But are you saying I could receive a penalty if they copy and paste content off my website? Surely that's not fair!

I have a trade partner who will be using some of our content on their site. What's the best way to prevent any duplicate content issues?

Their plan is to attribute the content to us using rel=author tagging. Would this be sufficient or should I request that they do something else too?

Thanks

I'd like to know how many of my twitter followers are other businesses and how many are individual customers. Is there a tool for this?

I want to know which competitors rank for the same things I do. Is there a tool that can give me this info?

Hello

We run a number of websites and underneath them we have testing websites (sub-domains), on those sites we have robots.txt disallowing everything. When I logged into MOZ this morning I could see the MOZ spider had crawled our test sites even though we have said not to.

Does anyone have an ideas how we can stop this happening?

Thanks for your suggestions. I've already got canonical tags on every page, but they're not all being adhered to and lots of URLs with query strings are still getting organic traffic.

Passing referrer info behind scenes isn't an option with Coremetrics I don't think. Is it?

Interested to know more about number 1 though. How would you do that in WMT other than blocking with robots.txt?

Thanks

I'm about to block off all URLs that have a query string using robots.txt. They're mostly URLs with coremetrics tags and other referrer info. I figured that search engines don't need to see these as they're always better off with the original URL.

Might there be any downside to this that I need to consider?

Appreciate your help / experiences on this one.

Thanks

Thanks Scott. It's only wrong on a few hundred pages and they're all quite deep. If it were wrong on the important pages I'd fix it.

Well that's good news. Think I'll just leave them there then. Thanks!

Due to an error, some of my pages now have two canonical tags on them. One is correct and the other goes to a nonsense URL (404 page).

I know I should ideally remove the incorrect ones, but it's a big manual job. Are they doing any harm? Can I just leave them there and let Google figure it out?

The correct ones are higher up in the code. Will this make a difference?

Any help appreciated.
