Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Finally, with not too good result, i have simply deindex the tag archieves.

Hi, In my case it is working all the time so far but I know this answer doesn't help you. Many SEO's facing the same issue. I am quoting  Google's John Muller's on this "Just to sum up the possibilities ...  As others have mentioned, Sitelinks demotions are demotions, not removals, so what you're seeing might be as expected (also, the changes are not immediate). If you'd like to have text removed from the snippet, there are a few possibilities you might want to look into: use the "nosnippet" robots meta tag use an image (as others have suggested) use a robotted JavaScript file (also mentioned above) use a robotted iframe The "googleon" / "googleoff" tags are only for Google Search Appliances (so if you're running your own, local search engine), not for web-search."

Awesome advice here from Dirk!

Hi there As soon as your new site goes live, those old site URLs need to immediately redirect. The reason being, if crawlers crawl your old URLs and see that those pages are now 404ing, they have no indication that there is a new site URL. Here is a resource from Google. Also, do not forget to update your sitemap, upload it to Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools, note a change of address (if necessary), and also change any and all internal links. You may also want to conduct a backlink audit - reach out to websites with links you want to keep so they can change them if need to be and also to reach out to websites for links you wish to remove. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks Patrick. So you're saying since they're being noindexed anyway adding nofollow to them is pointless/redundant?

Hi John, I can't say anything about what categories URL's are you seeing there but I would suggest you to watch below video to confirm that you have implemented the tag manager correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRvbFpeZ11Y Thanks

As with any link building strategy / method, it all depends on the quality of your link wheels. A poorly built link wheel will provide no noticeable results and in the worst case, you'll end up with a penalty. A properly built link wheel, will take more time (and/or money) to build but the results will be up there, you'll get increased keyword rankings and also indirect traffic from the link wheel sites, and contrary to popular belief, if you build it right, google will not be able to spot it and you'll be penalty free. If you plan to build a link wheel, I would recommend you to read all the resources at linkwheel.pro before you start building one.

Hi Jimmy, Thanks very much for the reply! John

hello, You don't mention what kind of check reports you are looking for, but I also recommend you to scan your pages (sorry but one at a time) with the free tool PageSpeed Insight of Google. After crawling, you will see 2 different results: desktop-oriented and mobile-oriented, with a rating number and a detail of what is working or not at your site/subdomain. I usually use it in order to improve my website's response time, cache issues, user experience, etc. Hope this helps! Luis

Thanks Slava I had to learn a few words of Russian to figure out how it works, but it is a very interesting product.  While I don't think we will ever know exactly whats in the main vs the supplemental I think these results are close to what I thought, based on all the other methods I have tried. Chris

Perfect, thanks!

Thank you. We did try to have a .uk version of our site, which failed, but there was less of a focus on making that change for SEO reasons. I will keep the country TLD in mind going forward. We are on the verge of some language-specific content so that might be a good time to consider this. Thanks!

Unrelated to the original question - you might want to invest in a tool like Screaming Frog - there are several other issues with your site about 50 5xx errors a lot of 301 in your internal links. most meta descriptions / H1 titles seem to be missing load time issues mixed www/non-www urls - better to stick with one & redirect the other to the chosen version (duplicate content issue as content exists on 2 url's) rgds, Dirk

Hi there Simply put - get content on your mobile site or make your site responsive. There's no hope in ranking if there is nothing there.

Good luck!

Thanks Rick. When you say unless links are involved what do you mean?

Try to check the pages which are currently 1-1 - do the mobile friendly check for the desktop version. If it passes - you should be ok. If not - you'll have to hand it over to the technical dept & ask them to search for a solution. If necessary, escalate (depends on the % of mobile searches you currently have & the importance of the website for your business) rgds, Dirk

Yes I have redirected all the old URL's to the new ones, I changed the title tags and meta descriptions because to increase my keywords. Yes the sitemap is there and the content has changed.

Ravi, Sorry to tell you the same message again - the problem is not that your images are not getting indexed. They are indexed, as you can check on site:www.urbandazzle.com/ (put on tab Images). The goal of the sitemap is to help Google discover images as they are published o****n your site. The images you list in the sitemap do not exist on the site on the url you provide in the sitemap (see example above) . As long as there is a mismatch - Google will continue to show that 0% of these images are indexed, which technically is correct. If you want to use the sitemap to see the % of images that is indexed - you'll need to change the (url of the) pictures used on the site or to replace the (url of the) images in the sitemap by the correct images. rgds, Dirk

If I understand correctly, you're ranking well for a page and related keywords but you'll be adding new "news" content related to the title page topic. Sounds good to me. I'd make sure to note my changefreq in the sitemap to hourly or daily. While I'd expect you to continue to rank well for your static content, there are other factors to consider in a "redesigned" page. For example, how your new HTML code is structured; the order of content displayed to search engines (source code); how much of the original content you keep above the fold; relevance of your news to your current keyword(s); the number and quality of links added to this page; change in the amount of traffic to this page; and of course all the other technical and editorial SEO factors. Only thought about this for a few minutes but I'll post back if I think of anything else. I'm a little confused about the redirect you want to implement. Are you unable to just replace the original page or use the original page URL? Note that permanent redirects tend not to pass 100% of your link juice http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection. Try to do that, but if you can't then the redirect is likely your best option.

Correct you should make sure is not used elsewhere. But I can't refrain from stressing again to hide the content is unlikely the best strategy.
