Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a coupon website (http://couponeasy.com)
Being a coupon website, my content is always keeps changing (as new coupons are added and expired deals are removed) automatically.

I wish to create a sitemap but I realised that there is not much point in creating a sitemap for all pages as they will be removed sooner or later and/or are canonical.

I have about 8-9 pages which are static and hence I can include them in sitemap.

Now the question is....

If I create the sitemap for these 9 pages and submit it to google webmaster, will the google crawlers stop indexing other pages?

NOTE: I need to create the sitemap for getting expanded sitelinks.

Disavowing would be a good option in this case.

You just need to tell Google that these links are of thin quality and don't want these to get associated with your website

IMO, your canonical tag should be for the filtered products (fixed, tracker etc).

individually all pages have different products. It's like a blog. Blogs main page has links all top 10 or 20 or all the blog posts but they have independent pages as well. So you  should not be worried about plagiarism issue here.

With this change you'll get a boost in ranking for other two three more products (fixed, tracker etc) as well. as they'll have their own dedicated pages.

canonicalizing all the products to single page is not a good idea

Agree with @Patrick,

There is nothing to worry about. Your website is absolutely fine, but remember that your website can't be perfect for 100% user or all search engine. So just try to make it useful and search engine compliant to at least 80%.

Just make sure that you've developed and designed your website for users, not automated systems or search engines. Just try to optimize as many pages as possible, and make sure all important pages are easily accessible, user/ search engine friendly and properly optimized.

All these are just pre-defined automated system which works as per the instructions. So you can't rely 100% on these.

One this is for sure that they're not at all going outta business.

You may want to touch with them via FB: https://www.facebook.com/SEMrush or

twitter https://twitter.com/semrush

They've been quite active on the both the platform. May be they're not paying attention to general user comments, which is very concerning, but instead of waiting for them to respond to users comments and blogs, you should rather try to contact them via email, or social media. I hope you'll get heard.

Hey!

First off, experts don't use the words like "link building, outreach programms, etc.

There had not been any thing called Link building or outreach programm even before Penguin update, it has always been Link earning, gaining, votes, etc. You should focus on gaining links by posting quality content, on blogs, social media, etc.

If your content will be worth sharing, you'll surely get referrals from other blogger and experts in the same field. so forget about link building or directory submission.

Try focusing on producing meaningful content with supportive facts and case studies

Hope this helps!

it is not at all important if just 2% or 3% low quality websites are back linking. Search do understand these things and doesn't react to this. However, it can really be harmful if the percentage is really high, lets say 20% or more.

Though, you can still get that link removed or Disavowed it though GWT.

Hope this helps.

Aren't these tools of any help?

I think, you can achieve some basic redirection with the help of aforementioned tools, but of-course not the complex ones

Or, you can simply try this:

Redirect 301 /example1/example2/example3 http://www.example.com/example3

Hope this helps

Are you a PHP developer yourself? If not, I am sure you need a help of web programmer to do this for you.

They'll write a rewrite code in .htaccess and make this works.

Besides, there are a few .htaccess redirect generator tools, but I am not sure how accurate they are:

When you talk about sub-domain, it clearly means that it's a separate entity and not at all a part of your website. So, logically it should not be appearing in keyword rankings report of your main site.

You'll have to create separate report for your sub-domain.
