Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Ray-PP,

Is there any specific ? Exemple , do logged in-user and anonymous user should have the same behavior ? How do you suggest handling canonical in a UGC world ? Do you have specific editorial guidelines enforced on UGC ? Exemple should we noindex a post with a 3 word question and an image ?

Cheers,

Hello Moz folks !

For the very first time im dealing with a massive community who rely on UGC ( user generated content ). Their forum is finding a great deal of duplicate content/broken link/ duplicate title and on-site issue. I have Advance SEO knowledge related to ecommerce or blogging but new to forum and UGC.

I would really love to learn or get ressources links that would allow me to see/understand the best practices in term of SEO. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Hello moz community,

We have 3 website that are e-commerce based that go as follow :

• 1.0 www.product.com (  french )
• 2.0 www.anotherproduct.ca ( for the canada english )
• 3.0 www.anotherproduct.com ( for the usa market in english again )

Those 3 website are configured inside WPML ( wordpress ) and are build with woocommerce. Most of the pages beetween anotherproduct.ca and anotherproduct.com are identical or close to be. We want to have a good indexation and to absolutely avoid duplicate content. Any help would be appreciated !

CHeers,

I have to agree with SpyderTrap here. Compare year over year, most of the times it is seasonality. So you want to make sure you are comparing apple with apple. For some of my e-commerce clients for example there branded traffic keeps getting higher and higher in October, november, december and then it gets very low. So depending on your products or services it might affect your branded traffic.

Make sure the website is still optimize for there brand names. Some clients during redesign forget that they are not the only one competing for there brand name and you can only see there brand in the domain name. Is your client ranking #1 for all of there brand terms? Is there new competition for there brand name.

I hope it helps cheers!

Thanks Will,
