Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think worth domain thing that most people are already doing in the ethical SEO sphere is to write for other quality SEO blogs with the author tag.

If the content gets indexed, then it's no longer protected for others to see. They could just search for the rest in Google. There's no point of blocking users and allowing Google to index it. Instead, you could build pages with excepts of the content, so Google AND users can see that, then users can decide to proceed as a logged in user or not. Google offers site authentication but only for AdSense purposes. You can give them the post details they will need to access that content, but that won't change the indexing for search. Hope that helps!

Search engines will definitely take your keywords in the slug into consideration whether in the folder or the file name but as Matt Cutts says long exact match file names can start to look a little spammy from a user experience perspective. If you keep your categories / subcategories in folder paths not only will your site appear easier to navigate for a user from SERPS but you will also find the site easier to manage and organise as your environment grows.

Thanks Mark.

This is not hard to do on a with .httaccess I don't know of any value other then it makes the url easier to remember for users. Good luck

Thanks for all the help! Hopefully that'll be it sorted now. Cheers!

It's perfectly natural for each page on a site to have a different keyword.  Write good content for each page and both users and Google will give you two thumbs up. Best, Christopher

Keyword snuffing is bad. How great content you have. I have seen some blogger do SEO from PR 0 to 4 - anyhow they get caught the blog is heck now ! In a page i use max of 5. Might be some SEO experts here give more details about this ?

You could try targeting the same keyword in both pages, but best practice would be to have original, relevant and useful content for each term on each of the pages, even if they share a common keyword. I think you would be better off optimizing each page for the keyword set you're referring to, otherwise you'd risk diluting your ranking capabilities by falling into keyword cannibalization. If you want to go further, you may have the perfect setting to build an authoritative page on "motivation", by providing useful content on different keyword variations, all referencing a central page dedicated exclusively to your main keyword on it's own. Check out these articles, even if they're old I'm sure you'll find a lot of relevant and useful information: Targeting Multiple Keywords vs. Singular Keyword Focus How to Employ Multiple Keywords for SEO & Conversions Perfecting Keyword Targeting & On-Page Optimization

ok Thanks Branagan.

Atul The duplicate meta data from Google Webmaster Console is for Page Title and Description which is the same on your Paginated Pages. | <title>Hindu Wedding Cards Catalogue | 123WeddingCards</title> | |   | Maybe on Page 2, you change it to: | <title>Hindu Wedding Cards Catalogue - Page 2 at 123WeddingCards</title> | |   | That or something else in the page title which changes on every paginated page. Something similar in your Meta Description. I hope this helps.

Thanks very helpful article, and BTW AWESOME AVATAR

If your client shops local universities for interns and/or employees, those universities will link to your client's jobs page from their careers page(s) as a resource for their students.  It is quite a relevant link and there are quite a few universities or colleges in OH... I'd hit them up as well as taking the on page advice that has been listed by Kade and Jesse (and anyone else that chimes in)

Thanks Billy.

Looks like this topic has been discussed before. I may just remove the tags from my posts and just use categories. Since I don't have much content and have used similar tags for the posts it may be causing an issue.

ok thanks Tom

Hi, 25 domains is quite a lot and the short answer is that if they have essentially the same content in the same language then you are likely to have a duplicate content issue of some sort. I think the best way to approach it starts from the top. You need to identify your main keywords by language/country, see what kind of traffic these keywords are (or could be) bringing to your sites and weigh this information against the amount of resources needed to properly build and support all these different domains in their own language. Once you have decided on an operational level which domains/languages should be your primary focus then the technical way to implement in terms of avoiding duplicate content issues and declaring to the search engines which tld/version is aimed at which target audience is pretty straight forward. This recent mozinar runs through a lot of these issues: http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/foreign-language-seo And all of the posts in the international issues category are relevant and worth a read: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/international-issues Hope that helps!

It's not a huge problem, but it is poor practice. You may want to look at the plugins you have installed, figure out which one of them is causing the redirects, and then disable it. Wordpress will throw a 404 automatically for pages that don't exist, there's no need to redirect them using 302s.

Hey Gary - Here is what the SEOmoz help page has to say. How We Generate Reports The On-page summary automatically generates reports for any of your campaign keywords that rank in the top 50 of your primary search engine. The URL that it grades is the same URL that appears in the search results. For instance, if you have 75 keywords ranking in the Top 50, you should have 75 On-Page Reports. This generation happens automatically within 24 hours of when your rankings are updated. Here's the link to the page; it has a great video you can watch too: http://www.seomoz.org/help/on-page-reports Ashley @ ScriptiLabs
