Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes we have 301 redirects in place so all should be OK. Thank you for you reply!

Thanks for your reply George, this really helped!

What's the different between the 2 links you posted ? 1 and 2 you posted in your question are 100% same.

The pages that the webmaster tools are reporting, when you click on them, do you see the 404 pages ? Are these pages supposed to be 404's ? Something like Out of stock, discontinued products or services etc ? Also, click on the details and see how is Google finding these pages. Are these included in the sitemap or are they linked from somewhere ? Are those links internal that you control or external ? If internal, change/update/remove those links. If external, can you send a request to the website owner to update them or do a 301 redirect for that page to a relevant page if you have one. I hope this helps.

It really depends how they are being served to the users and the bots. do you always display them ? Why is it causing a 403 / Forbidden error code ? Post / PM me the URL and that would make it easy to check and suggest accordingly.

Does this campaign show up in your archived campaigns by any chance at http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns ? If not, you only have a few more hours before SEOMoz team should be able to check for you. Good luck. I hope you get it back, although the chances look slim.

I guess you just have to check it manually. Though your question is not very clear. What you should be more careful is how you should do 301 url redirect from non www version to www version.

Hi Rupert, I'd be careful doing this. You need to plan your strategy very carefully. For instance, for the page http://www.rent.com.au/rent/properties-in-north+perth-wa-6006 you still might want that indexed for very specific, longtail searches about rental properties in north perth. I'd start with some on site optimisation of existing pages. Get more content on whatever page you want to rank for and make sure the keyword is in title tags, alt image tags, headers, body text, anchor text from other parts of the site etc. Also, try and build links to the pages you want to rank for, that will give Google a good indicator. The noindex, follow - I would do a full site audit and identify exactly what pages you want to apply this to. This should be done VERY carefully. Thanks

Thanks mate, got some idea now for what to do

No, there won't be any other negative implications. But it's regrettable to don't use this easy link juice. Jonathan

Use the canonical tag and not index the www.short-hairstyles.com/~wwwshor page using

The page that you have linked to has 3 sentences of text.  When I search Google for "Appartementen Meckyheim" it looks like there is a lot of competition.  3 sentence of text is not going to add a lot fo quality to a page. But, I do think there is more than just a poor ranking issue.  I searched through 6 pages and didn't see your page at all.  It's still in the index, but it's not ranking. Also, I'm concerned that the Trail Map and Accessibility pages may look like duplicated content to Google.  They really can only evaluate what they can crawl, so this page likely looks the same on every listing you have in Google's eyes. I am suspicious that there may have been a Panda update in the last few days.  Sometimes Google doesn't announce them right away. Thin content like you have shown us as well as duplicate content are what Panda goes after. I'm guessing that you ranked well until the Panda filter detected thin and duplicate content. It's possible that removing the duplicated pages will be enough but I'm suspicious that you'll need to have substantially more content such as a thorough review of each place in order to get back to ranking again. If I am right and there was a Panda update then you may not see recovery after beefing the content up until Panda runs again.

In Google's webmaster blog this year, they announced that the algorithm prefers that you use rel=next and rel=prev instead of rel=canonical. I'm having trouble understanding the way your question was worded but I hope this can help.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to worry about that for duplicate content. I've never used Shopify but believe they host the website for you. In that case I would ask them to fix this issue for you. Here is .htaccess code to remove trailing slash though: RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R,L]

Hi Yes I think so, but is there a way to check/run a test? UPDATE - Yes it is enabled its on Dreamhost

Thanks for your reply, Let me know if you are able to deindex those pages. I will wait. Also please share what you have implemented to deindex those pages.

Most blogs have some sort of export functionality. I would imagine that should expedite the process for you. As for fixing the internal links... I would take your export file and use something like Notepad++ to find and replace the old URLs.

Hi Laura, Done some research on your problem and here are my findings on it. Sorry I not sure about it but you can try it out: From Google Webmaster: ( Read text in bold) In addition, embedded video or other rich media may not be visible in Instant Preview. The preview generator renders JavaScript, AJAX, CSS3, frames, and iframes in the same way that a Safari / Webkit-based browser would. It currently does not support Silverlight or Java applets, which may be shown as a "puzzle piece" in the preview image. What I find in your site ? Check first line of your HTML code. Here it is: **<html xmlns="<a class="attribute-value">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</a>" dir="<a class="attribute-value">ltr</a>" lang="<a class="attribute-value">en-US</a>" ** xmlns:og="<a class="attribute-value">http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/</a>"> **Solution:** When I open the "**http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" url, the web page get redirected to "http://ogp.me/".** Read the first line of ogp.me it says that "The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to **become a rich object** in a social graph". Hope this help you out.....
