Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Takeshi, great ideas!

Hi there,

we have now a client who has a job offering web site.There are many craw errors in it.

My question is how should the url structure in a jobs website look like and which pages should be indexed? What is the best way and tips for optimizing a job website?

Now the posted jobs pages are dynamically like:

examplejob.com/detail-job/1891222223/Careers-for-Mens---Womens/Experienced-Web-Design-Need

I see many job websites allow their job offers to be indexed and may be this is useful because some people find jobs also when directly search in Google. Are they using dynamically urls for that?

And also my related question is what happens when the job offer expires? When Google craws that page again should it be redirected to 404 page or the original job offer text should be there and just to be added info that this job offer has expired? Otherwise If only it's written that it has expired may be there will be too much duplicate content on many many pages.

Hi there,

I want to ask why should a website first have Onpage optimization and after that Offpage optimization or Link building/earning? I have read that this is better, even obligatory in many articles but I am not sure for the reason and benefits of that.

Can at least social media optimization start at the same time or at the middle of the Onpage optimization?

Hi there,

I want to ask do you know does Google counts web pages' links in social medias like Facebook, Twitter etc when they are shortened like that: And is it better not to be shortened like that?

http://ow.ly/2uk0Ow

I am using HootSuite to post in those social medias and it automatically shortens them like that when there is a new post in rss emission.

I recently added rich snippets in my web site and tested them with Google Webmaster Tools. It took about 1-2 weeks when there were the first results under Structured Data menu in GWT. So it may be time I think.

If the domain is has an extremely high authority (80+), I would consider it due to potential to dominate the SERPs by getting the www.web version and state.web version both to rank high.

Thanks, the domains authority is 43, it is not so high.

_Yes, stick with folders. It's much simpler and much better organization (states correct as Atlanta a city). _

Yes, it is true, thank you!

Next, I second everyone else, subfolders are much more organized, subfolders look better, and subdomains are an old SEO strategy (a little spammy, especially for a new domain)

It is an old domain (registered 1994). What guys you mean by better structured? Sorry if it is a simple question, I just want to be sure if it is what I think.

Also if a web site is in subdomain, does the main domain still pass some authority to the subdomain or not much?

Hi,

one of our clients has an idea of making subdomains from his main website to sell his online advertisements in all states in USA.

f.e:

texas.web.com

atlanta.web.com

He wants to have a subdomain for every state and there to be information related only or mainly to this state?

I am not sure about is this a good idea? What is your opinion about it?

Hi there,

since I have never before made microsites for a main domain, is there any tutorial which can show me more information in details how to do that and when is good to do that?

Hi,

I want to ask you about something I 've read about google and authorship. It is written that it is better to show yourself as a author in a specific field.

I myself have knowledge and interest in many fields - like SEO, vegan living, martial arts. And I want to be seen as specialist in all of them.  Does it mean that we are limited to mark with autorship articles in only one field, in order to be seen as expert in a specific field?

f.e. Should I mark with "rel=author" the articles that are about SEO because I want to be seen as author in that specific field for sure.

Iif I mark with "rel=author" articles also about martial arts would these affect the understanding about my expertise in SEO?

Wow, well I think my definite question is not so meaningful after your two answers because at all the most important thing is that citations are truly very important, not where we have found the information about their importance.

Thank you again, Dana!

Hi, Dana,

thank you for linking this tool. I tried it - it is working for USA only or nearby country may be but I will also need this for some web sites - thank you again!

My question is about historically to say - from which sources we have learned about the importance of citation sources - does members of Google said that or somebody in the SEO community found it out?

Hi, there,

I 've read much about citations and that there are very good for local SEO. I also watched the webinar about them in SEOMOZ. My question is where does the information that citation are needed and help in Google ranking? Is there a proof from Google or just it is found by seo specialists? I've never heard about it just 1-2 years ago so I am interested where this information comes from?

Hi,

I want to ask how google differentiates web sites like directories or company listing websites? How it understands that is a normal thing to have many links in a directory site? Are there some guides links about what to do and avoid and how to make SEO optimization for a directory web site.

Hi,

in your opinion and practice, do you think that it is necessary not to put too many web sites that you optimize in the same GWT account? Can this always give Google a signal that there is a strong relation between this websites?

Thank you Shane for your answer. Anyway, is it safe to post at one time in so many social networks in viewpoint of Google see it as unusual and send some Panda or something?

Hi,

1/I want to ask do you use onlywire service for you websites? Is it beneficial for a web site?

2/  Can Google see so many links from different social medias after you use onlywre as a spam (coming immediately every time you put new url in onlywire) or as something positive, especially for a website which doesn't have so many links from different web site per day?

3/ Do you think stumbleupon, delicious.com, etc are all helpful for SEO of a website and have influence in Google ranking? I know about facebook, twitter but there are so many social media websites and is it worth to have accounts all there and post the same stuff?

Thank you

Hi, thanks for the idea. Actually manually of course can be done, but if there is automatic update solution would be much easier, expecially if there are many projects.

Hi, I have a multilingual wordpress site. which is in Bulgarian and English - translated using qtranslate.

The xml sitemap of the 2 languages is in one sitemap file- all the links for the Bulgarian and English version are in one file. (Our web is using this plugin -

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-v3-for-qtranslate

Do you have any idea how can I make separate xml sitemap for every language? I ask you here because may be you have identical problems with your multilanguage wordpress website.

You can see the sitemap with 2 languages links in one sitemap here:

http://cholakovit.com/ sitemap.xml  Cholakov IT

I have read from this article that it is better practise and also it will help with geo-targetazing your web site:

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/multiple-xml-sitemaps-increased-indexation-and-traffic

Yes, I have read that it is good about 50% from the backlinks to be with different anchor text. (A good reminder.) But is this good only for the external links?

I was thinking also  is it ok to point my internal backlinks to one page for one keyword?

To rank in google.bg for key phrase like "seo optimization for web" which do you thing is better:

To make most of the backlinks with anchor text "seo optimization for web" to point to a link that is a category with many seo articles or to point to a single page from this category?

Hi, I want to ask do you thing that it is good and necessary to have a subdomain with a keyword in it when the domain doesn't include it?

f.e. you have a website named

domain.com

but there is no keyword in it. And if you add subdomain

keyword.domain.com

will this bring any benefit?

Hi,

I want to ask is it possible for a website with about 20 pages to be ranked well in Google for keywords with middle concurency? Most of the web sites in  the top for such keywords are with much content and many pages.

This is the web site:

http://logos-sofia.com/

And that's are the comeptitors:

Thank you, Dan!

Hi, I have some questions. I have 2 Joomla web sites who needs seo optimization, but there are allready indexed in Google:

1/ Will rel=canonical fix the problem for duplicated content for allready indexed pages? I have read different solutions but I haven't tested them all. I puted rel=canonical on the first web site that I started to optimize, but Google WMT shows me very small or not at all decreasing of duplicated content. Would it need more time?

2/How can I show search engines to craw and change the cache for a page that is allready indexed faster than 1-2 months?

3/ What is your opinion and experience? With done changes for one website for a low competition keyword /the web site  was not optimized for search engines before/   how much time will it take usually for Google to see the changes made and change the ranking for some keyword?

Thank you, I will wait for reply from the stuff. It will be great seomoz tools to work well with multilanguage conent, exspecially Ciryllic and Bulgarian also.

Hi,

I use On-Page Report Card for this url (the web is in Bulgarian) :

http://cholakovit.com

My keyword is in Bulgarian - "уеб дизайн" (which means "web design". It shows me that my keywords is: "

Total Keyword Usage for this Page = 5875 "I cannot find so many instances of this keyword. Only 13 uses for "уеб" and 10 for "дизайн" in the whole page code. Is there an error in the report?When I search the English version -http://cholakovit.com/enwhich is almost the same but translated in English of the page for the key phrase "web design" it shows only "Total Keyword Usage for this Page = 8"
