Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We have taken out our interlinking counts (Only Internal Links and not Outbound Links) through Google WebMaster tool and discovered that the count of interlinking of our most significant pages are less as compared to of less significant pages. Our objective is to reverse the existing behavior by increasing Interlinking count of important pages and reduce the count for less important pages so that maximum link juice could be transferred to right pages thereby increasing SEO traffic.

This is 301 redirection on desktop home page and i think google might show this in faulty redirects. This page is live before 1 months but still i didn't get any Google webmaster error.

Hi,

I had a query that i have created a new URL on mobile site this url does not exist on desktop. So what is impact of this on SEO and is it harmful for SEO, if yes then what we can do to handle this.

Google analytics showing Googleweblight traffic is paid traffic or organic traffic or anything else? If any post related to this query, kindly send that URL.

http://goo.gl/gaNwDD, it is responsive design, dynamic serving.

Hi,

I want to check cache and index page of  mobile site. I am checking it on mobile phone but it is showing the cache version of desktop. So anybody can tell me the way(tool, online tool etc.) to check mobile site index and cache page.

I have compared my traffic from Jan-15 to Dec-15 and found traffic increased but pageviews decreased on few pages. Is this any issue?

Thanks Everett for Clarification.

But AMP is a way to build web pages for static content that render fast.

I need suggestion for URL structure to include my news section in Google News.Google recommend any specific URL structure to include website in Google News.?

Hi ,

I am looking to add article news section of my website http://goo.gl/De5MKo in google news. We'll remove all content from this news section http://www.99acres.com/articles/real-estate-news and upload unique news, might be possible we use graph/chart and images from some other news site and other sources but the content will be unique and fresh. Any specific guidelines for URL structure for this news section? We are thinking about to create URL like xyz.com/news/ <title>. Is it okay and will not harm our site? Google News can consider my section as a news?</p></title>

Hi Everett,
Drop down navigation is only implemented on Desktop site and Breadcrumbs structure of desktop site of Ask & Answer getting visible in Google, but Mobile site breadcrumb is not getting visible in Google SRP..

Hi Everett,
                  We have implemented Breadcrumb on question detail pages. Please check this page http://goo.gl/WSGyDl and search this code itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb. You can find all question detail pages here http://goo.gl/Zmz0v3 .

Hi Bridget,
                 Thanks for looking into this matter. I am checking it almost daily basis, but it is showing URL in Google SERP instead of breadcrumb. I have implemented code on question detail pages on section http://goo.gl/Zmz0v3 (This is the URL of AnA section, check it on Mobile browser).

Hi,
     I have implemented schema code for Breadcrumb on mobile site which is same as on Desktop. Now Desktop breadcrumb structure is getting visible on Google SRP, but when i check Mobile breadcrumb structure in Android Phone Google SRP, it is not visible. I have verified both code in schema structure tool.

Is there any different schema code for mobile breadcrumb.

Need any additional information regarding this, please send me your queries.

People spent **more than twice as much time looking at the left side **of the page and that is the reason it's good practice to place your important links in left side.

How does Indeed.com make it to the top of every single search despite of having duplicate content. I mean somewhere google says they will prefer original content & will give preference to them who have original content but this statement contradict when I see Indeed.com as they aggregate content from other sites but still rank higher than original content provider side.

How does Indeed.com make it to the top of every single search despite of having aggregated content or duplicate content

Hi Umar,

Thanks for a quick reply. Could you kindly brief - what kind of crawling issues were those. Any suggestions - from where should we start and what should we look at to solve this.

Hi,

"Null" is appearing as top keyword in Google search console > Google Index > Content Keywords for our site http://goo.gl/cKaQ4K . We do not use "null" as keyword on site. We are not able to find why Google is treating "null" as a keyword for our site. Is anyone facing such issue.

Thanks & Regards

Hello all,

I have added the suggested code to my homepage as follows but not getting box in SERP.:

Is there syntax error, placement error or something else.

Please help!!!

This was added 2 month ago.

I believe that social signals have both a direct and indirect impact on organic search rankings. Direct impact comes from:

1. Number of people that like your brand on Facebook
2. Number of Facebook shares
3. Number of Twitter followers
4. Number of tweets mentioning your brand name or including a link to your website
5. Number of people that “have you in their circles” (Google+)

Indirect impact comes from:

1. Increased inbound links and citations due to improved online visibility/brand awareness
2. Increased positive reviews (in Google Local , Yelp, etc.) due to happier customers
3. Decreased bounce rate, higher time on site, and more repeat visitors to your website

A brand's social media "voice" defines its image and distinguishes it from a distant entity to a hip, trendy, brand.

Conclusion:- when people share your content across social media it means they like the article which was helpful to them. This means your site should be considered authority. Google exactly consider that.

Thanks for a quick response Peter,

The link http://goo.gl/BZw2Zz that i shared is correct and is a pdf url. When i check cache of that pdf url, i see that url of a third party site is shown in cache copy at http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&ie=UTF-8&q=cache%3Awww.99acres.com%2Fcustomised%2Ffloatilla-manikonda-hyderabad-residential-property%2Fgifs%2Ffloatilla_price_Sheet.pdf&oq=cache%3Awww.99acres.com%2Fcustomised%2Ffloatilla-manikonda-hyderabad-residential-property%2Fgifs%2Ffloatilla_price_Sheet.pdf&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.3093j0j4&bav=on.2,or.&biw=1366&bih=655&dpr=1&ech=1&psi=sR-SVfSVO4y8uATt6IK4AQ.1435639731097.3&ei=sR-SVfSVO4y8uATt6IK4AQ&emsg=NCSR&noj=1

There are neither any redirects in place nor we have any relation with the third party site, of whose the url is being shown in our cached copy. Any solution could you propose.

Hi,

When i check cached copy of url of my site http://goo.gl/BZw2Zz , the url in cache copy shown by Google is of some other third party site. Why is Google showing third party url in our site's cached url. Did any of you guys faced any such issue.

Regards,

its the same thing.

make sure users can exit out of the ad and that’s it very clear how they can exit.

It should not be. check your page load time. If pages takes longer to load than google bot may bounce off. Check your webmaster tool as see if there are any server errors showing.

If you are employing full-screen ads that take over a user’s entire browser window, then you need to understand a few things from Google's standpoint. Users hate them, so be very careful when you trigger full-screen floating ads and how often you employ them per session. The more people that get annoyed by takeover ads and then jump back to the search results. Engagement drops, dwell time is low, and you are sending horrible signals to Google about user happiness.

If you do employ full-screen floating ads, then make sure users can exit out of the takeover and that’s it very clear how they can exit. On some sites I found myself extremely frustrated being forced to watch a full-screen ad (which I would never normally do by the way). Full-screen ads that literally take over my screen, don’t let me exit, etc. annoy the heck out of me. And many others feel the same way. Higher User Engagement is the king !

Using interstitial ads, I can tell you that a distinct portion of your traffic is not enjoying the roadblocks you have in place. And there’s a chance that many of those users are popping back to the SERPs. And as I’ve mentioned before, low dwell time is something you want to avoid.

Is it ok to run different html & different content on different mobile browsers even though the url is same. or the site can get penalize ?

We have pages that are not linked from site yet they are indexed in Google. It could be possible if Google got these pages from browser. Does Google takes data from chrome?

Hi,

Will numbers & data be considered as user generated content by Google OR naturally written text sentences only refer to user generated content.

Hi,

Is it ok to fetch a section on a page using ajax. Will it be crawlable by Google.

I have already seen google's directions to get a complete ajax fetched page crawled by Google. Is there a way to get a particular section on a page fetched through ajax & indexed by Google.

Regards

Hi,

But using Schema, providing a well structure data will help bots to understand what type of content/information is present on a page & i think that will definitely help a page to rank better in Google search either its SRP or JD.

Hi Martijn,

Thanks for a quick reply.

This will reduce around 1 second in page load time.

Hi,

We have a thematic footer which shows similar pages links relevant to the search criteria made on a page.

We want to fetch those footer similar links through ajax when users search on site but the links will be shown without using ajax when Google fetches those pages. We want to do this to improve our page load time.

The links content & count will be exactly same in both cases whether Google fetches the search pages or user fetches those pages. Will this be treated as negative by Google, Can this have any negative affect on our rankings or traffic.

Regards,

Hello Dirk,

Thanks for the reply.

Agreed that the impact of adding the few lines of extra code of schema.org will be zero on the load time of the pages. But it totally depends what content you are going to show on a page.

I want to implement Schema.org on the Search Result pages where a single page contains more than 50 listings with different information like Job Title, Company name, Skills, Job posted etc. For each i will have to use different properties as recommended by Google by which the load time of a page will definitely increase.

Please let me know for the above listed case.

Thanks

Hi all,

As we know, implementing Schema doesn't change the look & feel of a web page for the users.

So here is my Question..

Could we implement Schema markup on the web pages only for Bots (but not visible to users in a Source code) so that page load time doesn't increase?

Hi Erica,

Many Thanks for responding.

You have suggested to use utm parameters in urls while doing internal linking. however the utm parameters are used to track campaigns like adwords paid program. Can utm parameters be used for tracking internal linking. If yes, what will be the campaign source & campaign medium.

Will if affect the rankings if we have only dynamic tracking urls interlinked and the corresponding static urls are not linked from anywhere on the site.

Regards

Hi,

Will interlinking our internal pages using dynamic parameters(like abc.com/property-in-noida?source=footer) help us in increasing our rankings for linked pages OR we should use static urls for interlinking

Regards

Hi Erica,

Thanks for your suggestions however i am not very clear with the same.

Do you mean interlinking will not improve the rankings or linking tracking urls(not static urls) will not help in rankings.

Answer to your question - We are linking the pages since these are related pages & we expect these pages would be of interest to users. We are not able to track the click rate right now on these related links due to which we wanted to add tracking parameters(Case 2 in my question) to these links.

Hi Guys,

Could you kindly help us in choosing best approach out of mentioned below 2 cases.

Case. 1 -We are using: We interlink our static pages(www.abc.com/jobs-in-chennai) through footer, navigation & by showing related searches. Self referential Canonical tags have been implemented.

Case. 2 -We plan to use: We interlink our Dynamic pages(www.abc.com/jobs-in-chennai?source=footer) through footer, navigation & by showing related searches. Canonical tags have been implemented on dynamic urls pointing to corresponding static urls

Query 1. Which one is better & expected to improve rankings.

Query 2. Will shifting to Case 2 negatively affect our existing rankings or traffic.

Regards

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your valuable input however our mobile sites(both old & new mobile site) & desktop site will have same url across devices & browsers. The only difference is of content & design on old and new mobile site. Will this still be considered as black hat.

Regards

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your valuable input however our mobile sites(both old & new mobile sites) & desktop site will have same url across devices & browsers. The only difference is of content & design on old & new mobile site. Will this still be considered as black hat.

Regards

Hi,

Is it okay to design different mobile site for different browsers on same url. The content of the site will also be different on different browsers. Will it be treated as black hat by Google.

The mobile site & desktop site has same url across devices & browsers.

Regards

Hi,

Does interlinking on mobile site helps in seo & improvement in rankings. Our desktop site & mobile site has same urls.

Regards

Hi,

We have our existing mobile site that contains interlinking in footer & content and new mobile site that does not have interlinking. We will show existing mobile site to google crawler & new mobile site to users. Will this be taken as black hat by Google.

The mobile site & desktop site will have same url across devices & browsers.

Regards

Hi,

We are planning to show new mobile site to 60% users & old mobile site to 40% users. We will show the old site to google crawler. Our old site has some interlinking through footer & content whereas the new site does not has it. We wanted to do this since our new site does not supports some browsers. Will there be an issue with Google on showing the site like this.  The mobile site & desktop site will have same url across devices & browsers.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks however the pages got re cached again today but still half of the links of menu bar are not visible in "Google cache text version".

Hi Aman,

Thanks for your reply however i wish to inform you that old cache has been already replaced with new cache by Google.

Regards

Hi Guys,

There seems some issue with the coding due to which Google is not indexing half of our menu bar links. The cached text version of http://www.99acres.com/ is not showing links present in dropdown "All India" , dropdown "Advice" and "Hot Projects" tab in blue bar on top menu whereas these links are visible in "Fetch as Google" in Google Webmaster tool.

Any clue to why is there a difference between the links shown in Google webmaster and Google cache text version.

Thanks in advance

My site has 10 lakh approx. genuine urls. But due to some unidentified bugs site has created irrelevant urls 10 million approx.  Since we don’t know the origin of these non-relevant links, we want to redirect or remove all these urls. Please suggest is it good to redirect such a high number urls to home page or to throw 404 for these pages.  Or any other suggestions to solve this issue.
