Thank you, and this rel canonical url is just a re-divert to the home page. web designers have messed up here. thank you for clarification on my thoughts
Is it possible to confirm this to me please?
My understanding of the rel canonical tag was to tell google of duplicate content? so for instance
product 1
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1
Product 1a
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1a same content just a different colour would be rel canonical'd to Product 1 as thats the main product, is my understanding correct?
Now here is what I have discovered.
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1 has a rel canonical tag that reverts back to
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/ which isn't optimized as such its just a generic catalog page.
This is inccorect and google will dismiss the actial product and revert to the generic catalog page?
any help would be great.
As the title really, I run www.specialistpaintsonline.co.uk and 6 months ago when I first got it it had bad links which google had put a penalty against it so losts it value.
However the penalty was lift in Sept, the site corresponds to all guidelines and seo work has been done and constantly monitored.
the issue I have is sales and visits have not gone up, we are failing fast and running on 2 or 3 sales a month isn't enough to cover any sort of cost let alone wages.
hence my question can the cms have anything to do with it?
Im at a loss and go grey any help or advice would be great.
thanks in advance.
We have noticed an abundance of requests for some free colour cards on our website, however these are coming from a russian freebie website. how can i block this website, so the link from that forum doesn't work?
I can vouch for www.layershift.com UK based server, dedicated, managed vps etc, and support that is fast and very helpful. I personal use them on their managed vps service and cannot recall any down time other than occasional system restarts for updates.
Last week we decided to run a facebook campaign with a small offer, any way cut a long story short.
www.specialistsonlinepaints.co.uk was dropped by google when the penguin update took place in 2012, however it has been re included by google but nothing really returned in terms of search results.
so our facebook campaign reached over 3k of people according to the stats but no one purchased anything or even clicked to visit the website. am I missing something in terms on onpage, black listing etc?
Im at a loss at the minute.
I understand they are informative pieces or artwork however, Im really puzzled where they get used? on the website, facebook, etc?
Hello, sure i kind of understand whats happening etc, but to be fair i found Enter website fairly small over on the left of the screen, may be I am looking too deep into it. http://www.hullfc.com/smallsplash.aspx?a=1763
