Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Has any one seen credible evidence about impact of font size widgets?  Do/did people use them?  Are they moot in the world of full-page zoom functions?

I understand roughly that "Link Juice" is passed by dividing PR by the number of links on a page.  I also understand the juice available is reduced by some portion on each iteration. 50 PR page 10 links on page 5 * .9 = 4.5 PR goes to each link. Correct? If so and knowing Google stops counting links somewhere around 100, how would it impact the flow to have over 100 links? IE 50 PR page 150 links on the page .33 *.9 = .29PR to each link BUT only for 100 of them. After that, the juice is just lost? Also, I assume Google, to the best of its ability, organizes the links in order of importance such that content links are counted before footer links etc.

Anything in this that would have caused Rogerbot to stop indexing my site?  It only saw 34 of 5000+ pages on the last pass.  It had no problems seeing the whole site before. User-agent: Rogerbot Disallow: /default.aspx?*
//Keep from crawling the CMS urls default.aspx?Tabid=234.  Real home page is home.aspx Disallow: /ctl/
// Keep from indexing the admin controls Disallow: ArticleAdmin
// Keep from indexing article admin page Disallow: articleadmin
// same in lower case Disallow: /images/
// Keep from indexing CMS images Disallow: captcha
// keep from indexing the captcha image which appears to be a page to crawls. general rules lacking wildcards User-agent: * Disallow: /default.aspx Disallow: /images/ Disallow: /DesktopModules/DnnForge - NewsArticles/Controls/ImageChallenge.captcha.aspx

Can anyone point me to a page showing how to mark up reference data according to schema.org ?  Ie glossary or dictionary page.

I'd like some feedback on what would be a Panda factor(s) on http://www.duhaime.org The site got hit fairly hard by Panda (60% drop in traffic). Since then we have: redesigned the site (responsive and progressive), reduce the average links/page to ~35 from over 100, Use AJAX to delay the loading of boiler plate and nav elements, Improved the search functionality, Added more content images (still in progress), Removed the citations section to new sub-domain, and 1000's of little code fixes and enhancements The site, by nature of being a legal reference, contains many small, single topic pages.  The authority and professionalism of the site demands it doesn't allow much UGC. (The law is not Social Media) Unfortunately, this means the bulk of the page (1000+) are fairly formulaic - to format otherwise would diminish the value to the user.  This doesn't hurt many individual pages as shown by the dominance the "Without Prejudice" page enjoys. In particular, the citations section was very limited as there is not very much one can say about the 10,000+ law reports in the world.  Recognizing this as valuable to lawyers but a likely "low value" target of Panda, we moved it to a sub domain and requested the old directory was removed from the index.  This was done on July 28th. Now... I'd like some opinions on anything else that might be holding the site back. Thank you for you time.

I have a predicament.  The site I manage (www.duhaime.org) has been hit by the Panda update but the system seems fixed against this site’s purpose.   I need some advice on what i'm planning and what could be done. First, the issues: Content Length The site is legal reference including dictionary and citation look up.  Hundreds (perhaps upwards of 1000) of pages, by virtue of the content, are thin.  The acronym C.B.N.S. stands for “Common Bench Reports, New Series” a part of the English reports.  There really isn’t too much more to say nor is there much value to the target audience in saying it. Visit Length as a Metric There is chatter claiming Google watches how long a person uses a page to gauge it’s value.  Fair enough but, a large number of people that visit this site are looking for one small piece of data.  They want the definition of a term or citation then they return to whatever caused the query in the first place. My strategy so far… Noindex some Pages Identify terms and citations that are really small – less than 500 characters – and put a no index tag on them.  I will also remove the directory links to the pages and clean the sitemaps.  This should remove the obviously troublesome pages.  We’ll have to live with the fact these page won’t be found in Google’s index despite their value. Create more click incentives We already started with related terms and now we are looking at diagrams and images.  Anything to punch up the content for that ever important second click. Expand Content (of course) The author will focus the next six months on doing his best to extend the content of these short pages.  There are images and text to be added in many cases – perhaps 200 pages.  Still won't be able to cover them all without heavy cut-n-paste feel. Site Redesign Looking to lighten up the code and boiler plate content shortly.  We were working on this anyway.  Resulting pages should have less than 15 hard-coded site-wide links and the disclaimer will be loaded with AJAX upon scroll.  Ads units will be kept at 3 per page. What do you think?  Are the super light pages of the citations and dictionary why site traffic is down 35% this week?
