Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a client who is moving their warehouse, and their shop will be down for four days.  I have been doing  some research on the best ways to handle this and I wanted to get the communities feedback on this.  One thought is to have the pages live, but people can't place an order - but this does not provide the best customer experience.  Another thought is to just do temporary redirects for the shop pages, to land on the "sorry we are moving" page for customers.  Another thought was to do 503 HTTP status codes on the pages and then do a temporary redirect to the landing page. Have any of you experienced this issue?  If so, what did you do to minimize the impact to the organic search programs? NOTE: All of their static content will remain in tact.  Only the shop/store will be down.

This is a new one for me.  I have a client that has a canonical tag on almost every page of their site.  Even on pages that don't need it. For example on http://www.client.com/examplex they had code: Maybe I have missed something, but is there a reason for this?  Does this hurt the ranking of the page?

I am trying to triple check this - I have a client who has all of their H1 tags as hidden.  As far as I am concerned, anything hidden is not a good thing for SEO. I am debating with their online store provider that this is not good practice.  Everything I am reading says it is not good practice.  They are saying it is for "My SEO experience would suggest otherwise.  In addition, the H1 adds semantic value for users with disabilities to help give them context with what the content of the page is." Did I miss something? They are a large brand and have not been penalized.  This has been happening for 8 months.

I am trying to pull some data for a client and there are a bunch of redirects going on until I get a message from Safari that says too many redirects are happening.  Any idea on what is going on? Need this info asap...

I am working with a company that has had a few "SEO Experts" work on it's site over the last year.  The strategy these "experts" used to generate keywords is to optimize on many general keywords and, when mixed all together, make the keywords they are optimizing against. For example, they did photo printing.  They would optimize for the keywords: photo prints printing print photographs photography 4x6 cheap .... Maybe I am missing something, but I have never seen  a keyword list managed this way...  is this "normal"?  Is this something "new" I am missing?  Any advice or strategy tips on this one? Thanks in advance!
