Google autorship in specific field?
I agree with Steve. I would add that it makes sense that you could mark yourself as an author across various niches and sectors. After all, very few of us are interested in only one subject. Many of us have some expertise in multiple fields. So to limit authors to a single subject would be counter-intuitive and contrary to the way the world works. I don't believe Google wants to do that.

Help! Same page with multiple urls. How is this handled?
Thanks Mark, that helps. Since they are all the same page, it is easy to put the canonical on all the pages. Thanks for the mention of ayima. I was unaware of this tool and it is nice. I got my list down to three. Not sure my next step. [[image: iTrlO.png]](<a href=)" target="_blank">a>

Empty Meta Robots Directive - Harmful?
Can't answer the API question I'm afraid. However on the other bits - if you don't specify robots directive, search engines are likely to behave in the default manner - i.e. index, follow unless you're blocking them another way (i.e. robots.txt) A good test of this would be if you've launched a page since the 17th and it's not in Google's index and you know you've been crawled. Check in GWT for your crawl data - and don't worry about the cache because your users will always be taken to the current version of your site. It's only a concern if you're no longer being crawled. If it's an ecommerce site, then it should just be one site-wide tweak to put index,follow back in. Re-create and re-submit your sitemap.xml to GWT then Google will go after all your new content as well - i.e. it hurries up re-crawling. Hoping something helped you there

What steps can you take to help a site that does not change
i was thinking about having a seperate page for weight loss surgery and the hypnotherapy for weight loss but the responce we got was, people wanted to learn about both on the same page. On the page itself, the responce rate is about 10% ideally, i would like to increase this to 30%I have watched the page go down from ranking number one in google to number four. We have been number one for a couple of years now. Our compeditor who never seems to change their page and this leaves us puzzled to how all of a sudden they are outranking us is. www.hypnoband.com/ the hypno band company never alter their page but they are now ranking above us. one thing i have noticed in the past two weeks and i cannot work out how to solve this, is. the description we have for the page is Gastric Band Hypnotherapy to lose weight guaranteed. Free Gastric Band Hypnosis Consultations with Well Known Gastric Hypno Band expert as seen on TV. Hypno Gastric Band Works. We offer full support after your Gastric Band Hypnotherapy but for some reason when you search for the page in google it is now bringing text from the page which i did not want to happen This is such an important page that i need to try and fix and get back to number one in google

Does Site Structure Affect Google
Sub domains have pros and cons. If you expect displaying multiple pages of your domains (main and sub) on the search result pages for the same keyword then sub domain will be better option but sub domain pages won't get more value from PR of main domain.

Big on-page changes: all at once or little by little?
I would recommend to update pages as soon as you complete each change. Since no one knows about the accurate Google process time for each change, no need to connect your changes.

Duplicate content in Magento
Hi guys Great suggestions and great comments. Think I got the most sorted out now. BUT, got one major issue left: As you can see here: http://www.citcop.se/varmepumpar-luft-luft the links to the actual product is not the same as the canonical URL for it? Now the links on this page are like: http://www.citcop.se/varmepumpar-luft-luft/panasonic-nordic-ce9nke-5-0kw When they really should be(this is also the canonical url): http://www.citcop.se/panasonic-nordic-ce9nke-5-0kw I have setup magento to use a flat catalog structure but seems like the links in menus etc are still pointing to a URL using the complete path with category and all. Any ideas how to get all links to a product to be the same? Thanks F

How many directory submission per day we have to do ?
_Eternal dilemma of an SEO professional. Since you are there to build links, you have to think about building links and this is exactly where the problem creeps in. Rather take a different approach here. Think like a general user. Would you love to see your website listed in that directory? Do you believe that that the directory in question would be able to drive some traffic to your website? If the answer is yes, go ahead mate. Get your website listed there. Google or no Google, your website is going to get benefited at the end. _

Recommended Wordpress Plugins
I would also include: "ping optimizer" (for SEO puprposes, prevent from pinging too often, eg. when correcting or updating a post) I almost always use "contact form 7" , a (multilingual) contact form

About google Disavow tool
Your meaning that they can not attack me by spam links? ( i found that they add my link on adult webpage). So i think i should remove it from my backlink list. Yes, i think that the link exchange page is not good way to building link because of many reason and it is not my main way to building links. But now, my webpage is in google Sanbox and i must escape from it before i am building good links.
