Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello, It sounds like you are receiving this error because you have the markup for price in the html, but it is not finding the price so it is showing the error. If you remove the schema markup for the price it will still be valid and should no longer show the error. We have a similar setup on a client's site of ours. They offer multiple versions of their product in different versions and we do not markup the price using schema, only the ratings and these show up perfectly fine in the SERPS. You can also check Google's Structured Data Testing Tool to aid in schema implementation. As for a price other then a numerical value, looks like that is possible according to schema.org.

You likely have a .htaccess issue causing a rewrite error.   You may want to examine or replace your .htaccess with a default.   Also, I've seen some plugins cause this error. What is happening is this: http://www.atozqualityfencing.com/newsite is sent to: http://www.atozqualityfencing.com/newsite/ Note the trailing slash. But that page is returning a 404 error. If I go to http://www.atozqualityfencing.com/newsite/index.php it redirects to http://www.atozqualityfencing.com/newsite/ So there is likely something wrong in the redirect rules.   I would try disabling all plugins. If that fails, compare the current htaccess to a default one and remove any modifications. .

Very helpful, I appreciate it!

I don't have a strong opinion but there was a good article on the topic on Searchengineland

If you don't already, I'd recommend making sure you're sharing your new content socially and encouraging others to do so. Sharing on Twitter has really helped for me. The more your content is shared, either via links or social, the quicker Googlebot will get to it. There's a few tips here from an older article, which might still be worth consulting: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2223868/How-to-Increase-Googles-Crawl-Frequency Google's general advice on how regularly it crawls a given site is also here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34439?hl=en Hope this helps, apologies there's no hard and fast 'tell Google to do this', but honestly increasing sharing of links to the content really does help.

Hi There I also do not know how this is done at the coding level in WordPress. The Yoast plugin handles it automatically - that's probably the least painful to get it implemented!

You have the rel="alternate" tags from the page back to the mobile version, right? That seems odd...has anyone else had this with mobile and desktop pages in WMT?

Well that says the change of address tool isn't working so that doesn't make me feel too great.

Since subdomains are essentially different websites it makes sense to have separate site maps for each. This will become evident once you start looking into using Google analytics and webmaster tools as sub domains get treated like individual sites.

There are two kinds of content that Google sees. One is evergreen, the other is fresh. Evergreen might be something that doesn't need to change (not all sites and pages change all the time), with fresh being the likes of articles and news. If there is a thread with good information on it, then it might still be useful. However, if you think there are a handful of forum pages that could be redirected to main internal pages, then you can do this as well - there is no need to redirect every thread though. You could redirect 10 pages and 404 everything else. -Andy

Presuming your product pages sit under a /products/ subfolder, you could use this code in your htaccess file: RewriteRule ^products/(.*)$ /anotherdirectory/$1 [R=301,NC,L] Or to redirect all to the homepage: RewriteRule ^products/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L] Obviously you can change the words "products" and "anotherdirectory" to whatever is applicable to you. For more info on htaccess redirection you can read the Moz guide here.

At the risk of over-simplifying.... Page Authority of a particular URL is dependent on the quantity/quality of the links pointing to that URL Domain Authority is dependent (among other things) upon the quantity/quality of the links pointing to any URL on your domain. So it's entirely possible that your website is improving it's domain link profile, while the link profile to your key pages hasn't changed much. One way to address this is to make sure that the URLs that earn new links also link to your key pages, so that link equity is distributed internally throughout your site.

Hi, If you have confirmed the pages are actually indexed, I really wouldn't worry about it. I have seen numbers of pages indexed jump around in the past on many different sites. -Andy

If you're looking to redirect old URLs, sending them to the nearest equivalent page on your site makes sense and would be a good idea. However, my question would be - Do you actually need to redirect?  If the part of your website you're looking to remove is getting little to no traffic as it is, you might be better off letting the pages 404. 404 errors are a natural part of your website - something that Google is happy to admit. If some URLs on your site 404, this fact alone does not hurt you or count against you in Google’s search results. The reason why I suggest this is that with each redirect you add to your .htaccess file, you add extra code that needs to be 100% correct and you make your file a little bit bigger.  The bigger it is, the longer it takes to process and the longer it takes to process, the longer it will take your site to load.  Now, for 400+ URLs we're talking small amounts here and likely nothing that will affect your site speed to a degree that it will negatively affect your site - but it can be a long process to put in place and can cause problems if you're inexperienced with redirecting. I usually follow 2 criteria when asking if I should redirect an old URL. Is it getting traffic from people visiting or entering my site?  Check this with your analytics, although it looks as though the answer for you will be no. Does the old URL contain any external backlinks that you would like to preserve.  If it does, a 301 redirect will help pass on the link equity. If the answer to both of these questions is "no", I'm happy to let the URL 404.  Over time, it will stop being crawled, reducing any errors you see in Webmaster Tools. Hope this helps - certainly no harm in redirecting if done correctly (and you can do it in one big go - personal experience with rebranding some big global sites shows this to not be a problem).  However, I would ask if you really need to - you're unlikely to harm your site either by not redirecting.

Its not a new website (3 and half years) we think its 301s on our product lines (200 URLS) whats the quickest way to deal with 301s - dont want to be writing up a spreadsheet of every url that we stick into htaccess file!

Great, hoping to see some movement with the links I've added. This stuff is a lot of work and the results take a while to show up but will keep at it. Thanks for the info Keri.

Thanks for the great answer, Ray. We have been adding a note at the bottom of the post that it's been updated. I think we'll take your advice and give it a bigger call out at the top.

Dont move it at all. Thats a terrible idea Use an updated flag in sitemap/schema

If you are worried that Google follows filter links, you can rel=nofollow those links and include a rel=canonical tag. See this article on faceted navigation: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ca/2014/02/faceted-navigation-best-and-5-of-worst.html My understand is that http://makeupaddict.me/6-skin-care#/price-391-1217 will be seen and interpreted as http://makeupaddict.me/6-skin-care. Filtered pages should be seen and interpreted as their unfiltered pages. This being said, I would compare how both pages looks like in Webmaster Tools using the Fetch as Googlebot tool. This will tell you how it sees the filtered page. Ben

Thanks I'll do that
