Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would give it a week+. They have to review the changes.

Content is syndicated legally (licensed). My questions are:

• What is the best way to approach this situation?
• Is there any a change to compete with the original site/page for the same keywords?
• Is it okay to do so? Will there be any negative SEO impact on my site?

Is there any tool out there which can crawl a section of a website (or whole website) and gives a list of urls by subsections?

I have tried PowerMapper but it only gives visual map, not a list.

Thanks!

In addition to above tools, try http://www.seoprofiler.com (there is a free subscription option). then go to Organic Keyword Spy. You can find keywords that your competitors rank for as well as your website rank for. I found so many new keywords that I didn't know my client's site is ranking for (and have a change to rank better).

Both versions meaning, (1) for users coming from Google and (2) coming from everywhere else- yahoo, direct load, e-mail links etc.

Both versions of the page has essentially same content, but in different order. One is for users coming from Google (and google bot) and other is for everybody else.

Questions:

• Is it cloaking?
• what will be the best way to re-order elements on the page: totally different style sheets for each version, or calling in different divs in a same style sheet?
• Is there any better way to re-order elements based on search engine?

Let me make it clear again: the content is same for everyone, just in different order for visitors coming from Google and everybody else. Don't ask me the reason behind it (executive orders!!)

I mostly agree with kchan.

• It is considered duplicate content.
• Simplest way is to do rel canonical for the pages with ids.

However, I suspect 301 redirect is not the best way. Especially, if your website is using Omniture and/or Google web analytics code, you might get miscalculated traffic through them because of 301 redirect.

Be careful if you choose the last route.

Hello,

I have found that from an HTML  (not xml) sitemap of a website, a page has been listed twice. Is it okay or will it be considered duplicate content?

Both the links use same anchor text, but different urls that redirect to another (final) page. I thought ideal way is to use final page in sitemap (and in all internal linking), not the intermediate pages. Am I right?
