Welcome to the Q&A Forum

our dev team has requested to 302 initially and then 301 as the final solution. Could this cause a problem for the temporary 302?

Thanks Martijn, Why isn't it great from a development perspective?

Hello,

Does implementing a lot of inline CSS have a negative impact on SEO rankings? I imagine it could affect page speed, but any other issues I might run in to?

I'm running through the spam analysis and noticed a few links that are considered to be 9+ on the spam score (high spam level), but some of them have DA of 60 -75. How can this be possible? When I view the sites they appear to be be pretty low quality.  If i'm considering disavowing a site should I focus on spam score or DA? A DA of 75 is a pretty reputable standing.

Hi all,

Our blog utilizes a fair amount of guest blog articles. Each article includes a link to the authors site. Some memebers of our team believe it is best practice to no follow all of these links while others believe we should follow the links, Our page rank and domain authority are almost always much higher then the guest blogger's site so we want to know the pros and cons of nofollow vs follow of these links. Since the domain authority and page rank of guest blog sites are low will this have a negative effect on our site? They aren't spammy and are legitimate sites covering similar content.

Any feedback would be greaty appreciated!

Hi All,

I came across some pages on our site that have multiple robot tags, but they have the same directives.  Two are identical while one is for Google only. I know there aren't any real benefits from having it set up this way, but are there any detrimental effects such as slowing down the bots crawling these pages?

name="googlebot" content="index, follow, noodp"/>

Thanks!

Hello,

Is it possible to see keyword performance for all keywords that contain a specific phrase? Then see which landing page each keyword is most likely associated to?

Thanks!

What is the best practice for having videos on a website in terms of increasing SEO? Embedding YouTube videos is probably the easiest solution, but does that help with SEO? The other options would be to use a third party or build one. What have other people found to be the best option?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm running through MOZ analytics site crawl report and it is showing numerous duplicate URL errors, but the URLs appear to be unique. I see that the majority of the URL's are the same, but shouldn't the different brands make them unique to one another?

Any ideas as to why these would be shown as duplicate URL errors?

Hello,

Are strong tags still beneficial in 2016? A few co-workers feel they look spammy on our site and that they are no longer really used by the search engines. However, we can't find any real significant info for no longer implementing them or saying they're outdated.

Thanks!

Just a quick follow-up. The articles are now being indexed and driving traffic. Thanks again for the help Ira. Take care

Yes we have removed the second meta robot line. I'm still unable to find any article on the serp. It's been less then 24 hours so it'll probably just take some time.

I also installed Meta SEO inspector and noticed that it lists an A rel / XFN which indicates "no follow". Do either of you have any insight into what this might do? I've read into it about how it represents human relationships using hyperlinks, but not sure why it would be set as no follow.

Thanks Ira! I have requested to have the second one robot line removed.

Thanks everyone for the responses! Here is the blog URL

When I do a google search for a specific article on our blog the search results only return the blog homepage with the article title shown in the meta description, but never the actual article page. I've tried to refine my search by using site: and quotation marks around the article title (e.g site:www.example.com "article title") but still only get the homepage. Our blog is showing up so I assume it's not an indexing issue, but not sure how to get the article pages to show on serps. Any ideas?

Thanks!
