Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Scott, depending on the volume of new pages being created you could always make use of the 'Fetch as Google' contained in the 'Health' tab facility in your Webmaster account to make sure that your most important new pages are indexed.

Periodically you could add a new sitemap but on a daily or perhaps weekly basis submitting the important pages for indexing through your Webmaster account could be the way to go.

One of our sites utilizes a single .com domain but offers differentiated article page for users depending on their location.

For example:

example.com/articles/how-to-learn-seo-gb-en for UK

example.com/articles/how-to-learn-seo-us-en for US

example.com/articles/how-to-learn-seo-au-en for Aus

Currently we use example.com/articles/how-to-learn-seo as the relative link on the site and then the user is redirected by 302 to the correct article for them based on their location.

I've read countless pages about 302 redirects (and largely why you shouldn't use them because of link juice, indexing etc) but what alternative can we use since we don't want to permanently redirect to one URL but rather redirect to the relevant URL based on the users location.

All the stuff I've read talks about redirecting using 301s but this surely only works when you are redirecting from one URL to one permanent new URL as opposed to redirecting to one of many country specific URLs.

It's not really a solution for us to set up separate TLDs for each country so what is the best mechanism for redirecting user to the correct article for them and making sure that link juice is shared, pages are indexed etc?

I hope I've explained this well enough for any of you to offer advice. Many thanks in advance.

My site contains a number of listings for charities that offer various sporting activities for people to get involved in order to raise money. As part of the listing we provide an outbound link for the user to find out more info about each of the charities and their activities.

Currently these listings are blocked in the robots.txt for fear that we may be viewed as a 'link farm or spam site' (as there are hundreds of charities listed on the scrolling page) but these links out are genuine and provide benefits and are a useful resource for the user and not paid links.

What I'd like to do is make these listings fully crawlable and indexable to increase our search traffic to these listing, but I'm not sure whether this would have a negative impact on our Pagerank with Google potentially viewing all these outbound links as 'bad' or 'paid links',

Would removing the listing pages from our robots.txt and making all the outbound links 'nofollow' be the way forward to allow us to properly index the listings without being penalised as some kind of link farm or spam site? (N.B. I have no interest in passing link juice to the external charity websites)

I have been trying to use Rank Tracker but it still appears to be down. The following message is displayed which dates from 5th September and suggests it would take around a week to get it working.

"Due to a server failure, we are experiencing a delay in Rank Tracker results this week. Unfortunately, it may take up to a week to get it working properly again. Thanks for your patience and understanding; our engineers are working around the clock to get this issue fixed. - Updated September 5th."

It is now 17th September and I am still unable to use it. Just wondering whether this is the same situation for all or whether SEOMoz have an update on when we can expect this to be up and running. Thanks.

It's also worth bearing in mind that while some search engines no longer use meta keywords others continue to do so, so you could negatively impact on the long tail of your search engine traffic from some of the smaller search engines.

Hi Galen, thanks for the swift response. I'm trying to add the account @realbuzzcom but when I choose the 'Add new twitter account option' I am taken to the 'Authorize Followerwonk to use your account' page. At no point is there an option to specify which account i wish to add. Selecting the 'Authorize app' button just take you back to where you started and still logged to the original twitter account (in this case simon_realbuzz). Essentially there is no place to specify i wish to add @realbuzzcom. Thanks

I'm having the same difficulty and have tried adding other Twitter accounts to the followerwonk account but when clicking add new 'Twitter account' this function does not work.
