Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Dan It is a corporate website but will have news section/blog where im looking to integrate with authorship for at least those pages I'm really asking here about how important it is to actually have an author page in addition to what's required by G for integartion (author tag and g+ personal page integration) ? cheers dan

No problem, glad it helped!

Sara, I agree with Bryan. If you are targeting USA, I would go for es-xx.com option. I hope this helps.

Hi Bryan, Thanks yip I have put together the list of the low quality links and contacted most of them. Many I don't even know how we got... they are asking us to pay them to remove the links. I guess this is the perfect opportunity for me to test the disavow tool... Thanks for the response. Cheers, Stan

I would recommend using a similar URL structure as http://www.domain.ie/rentals/location/property-to-let/ When on the site you are working on you can see that there are three main solutions - sales, lettings and sharing. I would have www.yourdomain.ie/sales and then follow this with location and then property. This would be a good organised architecture. An example URL would be: http://www.yourdomain.ie/lettings/dublin-city/property-to-let/?min-price=500&max-price=700 You would also need to use rel="canonical" in order to prevent duplicate content issues.

Last chance saloon... Big thanks for all your replies but... as the post above shows i do have all the bits in place & ive followed this guide to the letter http://blog.kissmetrics.com/google-authorship/ So whats left? Please note its not a time thing Ive been waiting 2 months Thanks in advance

Thanks Kane, yeah that make sense.

Jonaz just to add to what others said.. #1 would be the most logical answer. / (forward slash) indicates a new directory so you can't use that. % is reserved for character encoding so you shouldn't use that. _ (underscore) joins as one word and 12ct would be wrong

If you are able to get those exact 20 posts on one URL page (all in the same category), then I'd just use a PDF printer program like PDF Creator and print the website to a PDF.

After spending a great deal of time on the webmaster tools forums I have seen that a fair few people have exactly the same type of problem as me. I cant afford to take risks etc with it so just easier to delete the original domain, put in a reconsideration request and start again.

If you go with Scenario 1 you will give your shop domain the following benefits: -If frequently updated, fresh content (remember: freshness is something Google likes so much) -Improved internal linking -All resources in the same domain: products, relevant info, etc. -Great landing pages -Posts are more likely to be shared than products, so take advantage of social media to publicize your store through the blog. One final note: you are planning to build your blog with WordPress. I'm absolutely in love with WordPress, but PrestaShop gives you the chance to use own modules to have this feature. I give you some examples: http://addons.prestashop.com/en/content-management/1213-blog-module.html http://www.themes-prestashop.com/es/modulos-gratis/31-prestashop-blog.html http://www.buhoc.com/prestashop/es/modulos-gratuitos-prestashop/44-modulo-blog-prestashop.html Hope it helps.

Simple, remove some links. But I agree with the above poster, you don't need to tend to every error, warning or guidline that Moz gives you, just use common sense and you'll be fine.

So this will stop google from ranking my site map on the first page for key words I want to rank for versus the actual page listed in the ite map?

yea Yoast SEO is commonly used to add keywods and titles, metas etc for the sites

Hey Threebiz, Introduction: Having a sitemap (XML) is good for diagnostics and helping searching engines - to discover your content. It's something you should consider adding to your Google Webmasters Tools area as well. It will give you stats about pages it finds, and the index count, any errors, etc. On point: You shouldn't do this "addition" manually. For example, if you install one of the popular XML sitemap plugins for your WordPress (assumption made) installation - it will auto-create an entry for each new blog post - into the XML sitemap file in the root of your server. One more thing: If you have a highly trusted website - and a good organization of your links/navigation, etc - and that all pages are reachable by a link - a sitemap XML is just a bonus. Some will not even worry about it, just FYI. Hope that helps! - Cheers, Jon P.S. On a related topic - some will go out and use a service like pingler.com to have your new blog "be discovered". It's something you might do on a brand new website, but not after that. No spamming!

Hi Joe, Yes, that's somewhat unusual. I'd be most suspicious of possible penalties and proximity, but it could be something else. Feel free to return with further details after you've investigated this further. I'm curious about your remark that it's the 'newest' of the listings. You don't mean you've got more than one listing for the same business, do you? That, of course, would be a big problem.

Yes, definitely (unless you have another agenda for the branding domain)

We now use a SEO company rather than just a link builder which I understand why you are saying that. They have said that content is very important as well as Social Media and they have put this is in place. But you still need link building as to gain authority to your site what they have said to me is less is more but they have to be from reputable high quality authoritive sites. But I think we also need to have the old links deleted. We are not totally penalised as we have stopped ranking but just gone down by a page which obviously has more than halved our traffic.

Yea my concern is that the SERPs are looking a bit junky. I don't mind if Sitelinks aren't present, and there's one result listed, but the multiple results definitely look untidy. If it's a Google issue as spoke of in the SEO roundtable post then so be it. I'm in the process of building out the internal pages, backlinks and domain authority, so hopefully that will help to earn the more elegant sitelinks. Thanks also for the clarification with the page titles.
