Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Tom, I will have a look at the rel=canonical tag, doing things the google way always helps

Agreed. usertesting.com is a fantastic value.  I would try only 5 tests to get started and see if it is for you.  The last comment was true.  Sometimes it is frustrating when you watch the video seeing a user not able to find that call to action.  But the fact is, the user is in charge not the designer.  Regardless how you feel about users to your site, they pay the bills and THEY ARE RIGHT.  You have to exercise a bit of humility as a designer.  WELL worth it. I understand they are coming out with a way to test your actual customers with a permission based pop-up where they can earn a coupon for testing. The tests give you great ideas for A/B testing later.  (that's another great tool on google analytics. Good Luck

No worries Alex I mean, contacting the webmasters would technically be simpler, but the chances that you're going to get a response, never mind a take-down of your content, is going to be pretty slim.  Hence I suggested the rewriting. It's a pain in the arse and requires you to do more work because of someone's laziness, which if course isn't right.  But hopefully, with the fresh content and the tags in place, you'll be given the full credit. In addition, if any of the content come in the form of blog posts, or if you'd like to do this site-wide, implementing a rel=author tag and verifying Google authorship would again be a signal to Google that your content is original.  Here are a couple of handy guides to help with the markup: http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218 http://www.vervesearch.com/blog/seo/how-to-implement-the-relauthor-tag-a-step-by-step-guide/

would be good to get .com/category/name if possible obviously if you do that becareful about using canonical urls as things may appear in more than one cat

Not really - no, as long as the videos are technically on the same URL and your video sitemap references them only on the URL you want rich snippets for. If you'd rather go for a lightbox than a inline embed, then that's fine - but do be careful of the implementation here, as you still need Google to be able to see the video file in the source HTML, so normally a CSS only lightbox or a basic JavaScript trigger is much better than anything that pulls in the video dynamically with JS (which can often prevent the video getting indexed).

hope that helped you! you're welcome Josh!

Hi Cary - You've received some fantastic support from the Moz Community! Has your issue been resolved?

Yeah it makes sense, thanks!!!!

Ok, thanks, I appreciate the suggestion. I have 17 dental websites I want to change and I would rather not do this exercise twice through all of them! I'll try this on 5-10 pages of the 35 pages I have and see what happens.

Hi Taysir, My apologies, I was giving an "In Example" I.E

Hi Anthony, Just checking in! Are you still having issues or were you able to resolve this? More than happy to help if you still need it. Cyrus

Laura As mentioned below, I have this theme on an active website now with Yoast running and seem to have it working. This is the Felis WordPress theme by fireform if anyone else is curious. Try; removing the extra title tag code you added the header.php select "force rewrite titles" in title settings Let's see if that does it - I don't recall editing any other code to make it work, but I could be wrong, in which case I'll dig a little more for you. -Dan

I'm still getting great results from several EMD's that have very good content on them and which are updated regularly. My EMD's also do very well with Bing/Yahoo, who seem rank this signal higher. I think you'd be ok if you found a unique purpose for the domains and put excellent content on them. In our case, we have some software products that solve some broad problems, but also several niche problems.  We used the EMD's to focus the product content like a laser on the niche. Google doesn't like EMD's with spammy content, but thankfully it still likes great unique content.

No. You just need to wait for Panda to refresh. However Google recently said that they are now rolling Panda out with the regular algorithm so you won't know when the refresh will happen.

Short answer - yes. Paul

You would simply have to keep checking the ranks as well as keeping an eye out on your Google Analytics to see any hits on your keywords and increase in traffic.

Hi Hope that you are well. Single words are really hard to win especially ones as highly competitive as these. By creating really great content within these pages that contain your keywords and writing your keywords within your title's/urls/alt tags you will be strengthening these pages. By having other pages within your website that contain links to these pages that have content relevant to seo and web design you will further strengthen these pages. SEO MOZ have this great blog post as well that should help you http://www.seomoz.org/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization You will have to be careful to ensure that your site isn't overly optimized and you have a strong link profile attached to your website. Try Rhea Drysdale's webinar - I found it really useful. http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/link-smarter-not-harder Hope that is of some help.

thanks Tom! It helped me a lot.
