Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Community!

I am in the process of updating sitemaps and am trying to obtain a standard for what is considered "strong" crawl budget? Every documentation I've found includes how to make it better or what to watch out for. However, I'm looking for an amount to obtain for (ex: 60% of the sitemap has been crawled, 100%, etc.)

Hi Everyone! I just transitioned into SEO in the medical spectrum and have never come across such long names. In terms of recommendations for character counts in title tags, what would be the recommendation? Write until it gets truncated (which is current state)? Use the abbreviation? Try to ensure the "plain language" words appear towards the front? Any viewpoints would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Mozers,

Is there any benefit of having the date that the content was updated displayed at the very top of a content page rather than at the bottom?

Would this impact our EAT?

Thanks,

Hi All,I've got a question about measuring the impact of schema. We implemented FAQ schema on a few pages such that the questions and answers written on the page are now displayed directly on the SERP.Google Search Console now provides both total page clicks and rich results clicks (under Search Appearance).  To get total clicks on the page, do you simply add up the total page and rich results clicks? Or do the rich results clicks represent interactions with the accordion, rather than a click through to the page? And if both clicks are represented differently, does that mean that the page is only sometimes being rendered on the SERP as a rich result?Any guidance would be appreciated!Thanks.

Hi Mozers,

The interactive SERP feature that appears when you're searching for hotels nearby.  It lets you input specific dates  and number of adults and then lists different hotels  nearby, their ratings and where they are located on a map.

Two questions:

1. What is that called?
2. How do hotels get pulled in? Schema?

Thanks!

Very helpful, thank you!

Hi Mozers,

I have a question about the news that Google Chrome will start blocking mixed content starting in December 2019.  That starting in December 2019, users that are presented insecure content will be presented a toggle allowing those Chrome users to unblock the insure resources that Chrome is blocking. And in January 2020, Google will remove that toggle option an will just start blocking mixed content or insecure web pages.

Not sure what this means. What are the implications of this for a HTTPS page that has an HTTP link?

Thanks,

Yael

Has anyone seen a big fluctuation in Domain Rank or fluctuations in keyword rankings b/c of BERT?

Hi Mozers,

There are over 200 pages from our site that have a meta tag "noindex" but are STILL being indexed.

What else can I do to remove them from the Index?

Hi Mozers,

**We have a glossary of terms made up of a main page that lists out ALL of the terms, and then individual pages per alphabet letter that limit the results to that specific alphabet letter. These pages look like this: **

https://www.XXXX.XXX/publications/dictionaries/XXX-terms?expand=A

https://www.XXXX.XXX/publications/dictionaries/XXX-terms?expand=B

https://www.XXXX.XXX/publications/dictionaries/XXX-terms?expand=C

https://www.XXXX.XXX/publications/dictionaries/XXX-terms?expand=D

etc.

If I'd like Google to remove all of these "expand=" pages from the index, such that only the main page is indexed, what is the exact parameter that I should ask Google to ignore in Search Console?

"expand=" ?

Just want to make sure! Thanks for the help!!!

Hi Mozers,

I'm using search operators for a count of how many pages have been indexed for each section of the site. I was able to download the first 1000 pages from Google Search Console but there are more than 1000 pages indexed, so I'm using operators for a count (even if I can't get the complete list of indexed URLs). [Although, if there is a better way, PLEASE let me know!]

Anyway, in terms of search operators: from my understanding, the more general the URL, the more results should come up. However, when I put in the domain site:www.XXX it gives me FEWER results than when I put in site:www.XXX/. When I add the backslash to the end of the domain, it gives me MORE results. And when I put in site:www.AAA/BBB/CC it gives me MORE results than when I put in site:www.AAA/BBB.

What's with this?

Hi Mozers,

Does having a Google+ page really impact SEO?

Thanks,

Yael

Hi Mozers,

We have images on their own separate pages that are then pulled onto content pages.

Should the standalone pages be indexable?

On the one hand, it seems good to have an image on it's own page, with it's own title.

On the other hand, it may be better SEO for crawler to find the image on a content page dedicated to that topic.

Unsure.

Would appreciate any guidance!

Yael

Thank you! Now that I've read your response, the answer seems so obvious! Very helpful.
