Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes That exact phrase is mentioned 8 times on the home page. It is mentioned 3 times on every page in the site, once in the header and twice in the footer. You also have very similar phrases in the footer on every page "Filme gratis", "filme online", "Filme online". Most of the pages also have a sidebar with the same phrases as well. There is a lot of cannibalization on the site, along with keyword stuffing and a 404 error for the Tutoriale tab in your navigation bar.

If there is an es then it would not target the world

Thanks to all responders, I am new to this community, and I greatly appreciate all your help.  My question has fully been answered. Thanks.

Hi Ben, Did one of these responses answer your question for you? If not, also let us know if you're running anything like Wordpress or Drupal, and we can help give you more specific answers.

Hi David, Were you able to get this duplicate taken care of, or do you still need a hand? The real URL would be great, but also just telling us if the site is using Wordpress or another CMS and if it's on Apache or IIS would be helpful.

Should I create new pages to cover related topics or improve an existing page? My first consideration would be specificity of your topic. How many key words or phrases are you trying to focus? How much content do you have to offer? Let's use cough syrup as an example (as I reach for my bottle). If your company name is Nature's Relief and you offer Nature's Cough Syrup as your product then one well presented page would probably be best. If you are Robitussin and have 5 different cough syrups and brand yourself on "a different syrup for different coughs" then I would definitely recommend a separate page for each product. The first page might target keywords such as "hacking cough" which the next page might work along the lines of cough and nasal decongestant. A final thought. If you provide Nature's Cough Syrup and are trying to compete with a competitor like Robitussin, then I would try to be creative and offer separate pages focusing on my competitor's key words. You can offer testimonials or examples where your product relieved a hacking cough, targeting the same key word. In summary, step back and determine what your goals are for the page. First and foremost, how can you present the page to provide the best user experience. The next thought should be why are you making a change?

The cache will still show the page (mostly) formatted properly when viewed in a browser because it is just giving you back the full HTML, instead use one of the GoogleBot Spoofers such as: http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/internet/google/googlebot-spoofer/index.htm I would however strongly urge against using javascript to display the main content of your page, user notifications and such is fine. If your referring to doing a full AJAX site, that is a slightly different discussion.

This is happening because Google thinks the product is more relevant to the keyword than the category. In short, your products are more optimized. This most likely has to do with more external links with the keywords as anchor text going to your product pages than go to your category pages. But it could be any number of reasons related to SEO, all of them detailed somewhere or other on this website.

If you are logged in to your google account there is no reason why not, but as suggested - resubmission from webmaster tools is probably the better bet. If you are on an apache server you could also set the sitemap to be pinged with the major SE's via a chron job.

I fully agree.  We have notified them all and let them know its in their best interest to modify the content throughout the site.  Unfortunately most of them don't and the copy remains templated. Thanks for your answers

You can also add a canonical tag on the old page, using the new preferred page URL in that tag.  This could help speed up the Google indexing issue as some have been testing this actually works faster than waiting for Google to change it out based on the 301 redirect. Also, if there are any links pointing to that page, within your own site, or coming from 3rd party sites, it's a best practice to change them - the ones on your site you can take care of - the off-site inbound links can be more challenging - requiring reaching out to other site owners, who are not always responsive.  Yet if you can do this, it helps provide more authority to the new page sooner.

Especially in blogs you're likely to get comment links as well, i.e. someone links to http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps#jtc78388 instead of the original blog post URL.  The content is going to be the same for both of those links, so it's best to say the post without the comment anchor is the canonical page. Also remember, you put the canonical tag on the page that you want to be the canonical version AND pages that you want to point to that page as canonical, so in one instance the canonical tag is going to be the exact same as the page you're on, like the example you're citing.

In the past i have seen conanicals take up to 5-6 weeks. My only other advice is to monitor the amount of indexed queries you have in Google. If you know you started with 100+ and over the past three weeks it has dropped down to 50, then it is slowly taking affect (once again, using the site search). If you see the opposite and you notice no change, then perhaps the tag is still incorrect or some other issue? I can't promise that all of the queried URLs will become un-indexed but the most important thing is the base page ranks the highest when searching.

The claim is that they're pretty good at detecting headers, sidebars and footers - and make some accommodation for these.  In my experience it's mostly related to links in those areas, though there's some duplicate content consideration. Having said that, I've also consistently seen where unless you've got a mega site with a lot of other SEO going, that accommodation is not enough to compensate for getting away with almost no actual unique content on important pages.  You still need to consider the overall competitive landscape, and you still need to have more than a spit's worth of content.  And the less you do in regard to other SEO factors, the more content you absolutely need.

I do, I run a pretty large wiki (2400 articles, over 1000 users) and I can definitely vouch for it. Out of the box it uses canonical tags as well (for redirect pages), knows which pages it should index and which it shouldn't (edit & login pages for instance are noindexed) and Google can handle an out of the box install pretty well. If needed you can even use one of the meta plugins to optimize your descriptions, titles and noindex/nofollow certain pages or even namespaces. (I wrote the AdvancedMeta plugin, but there's plenty of others).

Follow/nofollow tells Google whether to follow the links on that page, regardless of whether it should index it. Follow is usually safer, because even if it doesn't add the page to Google's index it at least alows Google to follow the links and pass some PageRank around. If a login form is all there is, nofollow would be no problem either, but it can never hurt to have Google follow the links to other sections of your website. The only time I use nofollow in combination with noindex if it's a page that links out a lot (like the almost obligatory 'Friends' or similar linking pages). Those pages I don't want to index AND don't want to pass pagerank through. Anything else: just follow.
