Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Google reads "-" as a space.

So always use "-" and certainly don't use "%20"

A lot of people use "_" also, instead of using a "-" .. Which they should not be doing.

We have been using http://www.getharvest.com/ for the last few years.

It's decent, but I think we'll move away from it shortly as we no longer really use time tracking.

I'll be looking at something that integrates into Xero, or if Xero does recurring invoices, I'll just use that.

Hi Andrea,

We went through the process of using optimisely for a little while, but we didn't really think it was worth while in the end.

People don't just buy based on colors, or wording changes, so making such minute changes and seeing +/- a few percentages, doesn't accurately tell us a lot ..

So we put a lot more emphasis on just choosing the current color trends, title trends, image trends, etc.

Paul.

You're welcome

Short answers: Don't do it.

Chris did a great job at explaining why as well.

Having said that, if the agency is a highly respected an ethical agency, then you could consider it, but nine out of 10 times, they won't be, so I'd advise removing the links.

It will affect your rankings, in those countries.

If you don't care about SEO or traffic from those countries, don't worry about it.

We block most countries like .RU, etc.

We don't want to sell anything to then, and we certainly don't want anything they have to sell

I would run with the second one ..

But from there, you could also go with things like:

• Womens Red Shoes | Free Shipping on all Red Shoes
• Huge Range of Red Shoes | Read our reviews online!
• Guaranteed Best Prices on Womens Red Shoes | Buy stylish new Shoes today!

Hi guys!

We're constantly working on evolving our /product/ pages on the site, however some times it's pretty easy to get lost in your own mess. Especially when the sites consists of 15,000+ products. So it's pretty painful to handcraft every single page.

So I thought I'd jump in here to see if anyone had any suggestions for stuff we're missing, and or should improve?

These are product pages:

• http://www.warcom.com.au/products/9954_draytek-vigor-120-single-port-adsl-122-modem
• http://www.warcom.com.au/products/49884_warcom-deluxe-double-lcd-monitor-stand---free-shipping

There is a few issues we're aware of already..

Negatives:

• To many links in the left menus.
• To many links in the footer.

Positives:

• We recently included rich snippets..
• We're always testing out colors and styles.
• We're always testing meta data.

Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Paul.

We've been trialling WordMatch for around two weeks now and I am a bit suspicious as to whether or not any of what they do is actually automated, or if they are just outsourcing management to [insert low cost of living country here].

The only trend I can see by using, the 'Adword's Change History' is that every day they increase around 5 keywords, and then every third day, they decrease 3 words.

It all seems a little strange to me, as I would expect a lot more to be happening than this.

We're looking a Local SEO expert who can assist us.

Please feel free to get in touch.

Is padding out the content on the duplicated pages an option?

ie: If you where to add additional information to those pages, and slightly re-word those pages (as opposed to completely re-writing them), this could be a step in the right direction.

What is actually being duplicated about the page?

• The content
• The page title

Because both of these should be able to be dynamically re-written.

Feel free to PM me some examples.
