Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am planning redirect the search results to it's matching category page to avoid having two indexed pages of essentially the same content.

Example

http://www.example.com/search/?kw=sunglasses
wil be redirected to
http://www.example.com/category/sunglasses/

Is this a good idea? What are the possible negative effect if I go this route?

Thanks.

i have over 2,000 temporary redirects in my campaign report

redirects are mostly events like being redirected to a login page before showing the actual data

im thinking of adding nofollow on the link so moz wont crawl the redirection to reduce the notification

will this solve my problem?

Is there a way we can check if a list of domains is a parked domain?

Hi guys,

If I found a low quality or spam link pointing to my site, but the link points to a 404, 500, etc (inaccessible, error page),

Should I bother asking him to remove the link?

Thanks

Ive read that we need to have some attempt to contact the webmasters asking to remove the link before eventually disavowing them if theyre nonresponsive/uncooperative.

yeah its tough...

this looks like a good read though

We are planning to hire expert link builders to build quality links this time.

My worry is if we will lose more traffic if we don't balance out the number links we will lose.

We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site.

I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized.

What are your thoughts?

What nSphere does is they create pages on a subdomain of your existing domain

local.example.com

they create static pages (product listing) targeting specific searches of specific locations.

local.example.com/air-jordans-in-san-francisco-california.htm
local.example.com/nokia-lumia-products-in-chicago-illinois.htm
etc.

What Bloomreach does is they create static pages (product listing) on a subfolder of your existing domain

example.com/th/nokia-lumia.htm
example.com/th/white-samsung-galaxy-s3.htm
etc.

basically they create pages that they think is similar to what the site is offering.

Do you think the pages created by them will cause our site to be penalized in the long run for having too many thin static pages? From my undestanding Google Panda penalizes poor quality pages and I appreciate your opinion guys if what their doing will eventually do harm to our site.

Maybe there are members here who have actually used their service who can testify if bloomreach or sphere is worth the investment/risk.

Thanks!

Hi,

Since Penguin is about regulating link building, here are my questions:

1. How many percent of a site's overall links should be branded terms?
2. How many percent of a site's overall links should be related to the site?
3. How many percent of a site's overall links should have nofollow?
4. Any recommendation on anchor text distribution?

Lastly

5. In your opinion, which e-commerce site you think has the best link profile?

Thanks!
