  • Hi Keri, Thank you for asking, I missed this.  We asked someone to take a look, and there were two instances of the G/A code installed. Thanks again for checking back.

  • Youy should be looking for high pages per day as a indication that google sees your site as good content or changing content, you should be looking for low time spent to show your site has quick download times. Kilios per day is relevant to pages downloaded, if your time spent is high you might look at this more closly

  • Short and sweet answer rel canonical the pages where you sort by ( siz, price , etc ) even for product you classify by color .( more reading ) If the pages are split up in to separate pages add rel=prev and rel=next to them ( more reading )

  • I looked in Open Site Explorer, and your backlinks don't look very natural. Generally you'd have a lot of backlinks that include the name of your site or your URL. The most powerful backlinks I'm seeing to your site have anchor text that doesn't look like someone would naturally select it without being given a strong hint to use "Book UK Hotels with Big Discounts" on several different sites. Especially when those sites have nothing to do with your site. I suggest you go through your backlinks and stop with any attempts to build more of ones like the following: http://dtmracedriver.info/2012/03/01/attempting-to-get-the-most-effective-vehicle-rentals-offers-in-united-kingdom-then-commence-employing-the-compare-car-rentals-in-uk/ http://cupcakecostume.info/2012/03/05/compare-hotel-prices-will-help-anyone-whos-likely-for-any-take-a-look-at-within-the-united-kingdom/ http://students.expression.edu/segoviaandres/2011/06/17/captain-america-the-first-avenger-video-game/

  • they are not ranking, the pages that are ranking are here: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:www.kelloggs.com%2Fteamusa%2Fathletes%2F&oq=site:www.kelloggs.com%2Fteamusa%2Fathletes%2F&gs_l=hp.3...4274.6340.1.6521.11.10.1.0.0.1.312.2575.2-8j1.9.0...0.0.1ctP_sxy2-A&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=117ed4fb9591a99f&biw=1920&bih=929 do a search for "kerri walsh kelloggs" and look at your URL. when you click on the URL you are being redirected in some fashion to the one URL with the hash. Has this been like this for a while, because if this is a new implementation it may not be SEO friendly, that's why I suggest you talk to the engineering dept and find out how it was implemented. http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ Checked link: http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa/athletes/rebe cca-soni.html Type of link: direct link If google spiders these pages only to get tossed to other unindexable page (also I cannot see your robots.txt by the way)  then these pages that are now indexed may wind up getting deindexed: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:www.kelloggs.com%2Fteamusa%2Fathletes%2F&oq=site:www.kelloggs.com%2Fteamusa%2Fathletes%2F&gs_l=hp.3...4274.6340.1.6521.11.10.1.0.0.1.312.2575.2-8j1.9.0...0.0.1ctP_sxy2-A&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=117ed4fb9591a99f&biw=1920&bih=929

  • Hi Bristolweb, Mark Aspey has given a very helpful response. Essentially, this boils down to the business owner being willing to use his home address as his base of operations from which he heads out to meet clients for their kayak trip. Without an address and local phone number, the business cannot participate in local. With one, he can, and he should definitely take the steps of hiding the address as presumably no transactions take place at his home office. Do not worry about building the site in WordPress. It's a fine tool for building excellent sites. If the client plans to use the dashboard to build new pages and posts, be sure you've included something like the All-In-One SEO Pack or Yoast's plugin so that he has the ability to write unique title and meta as he adds to the content of the site.

  • Like a mashup? I have always used Google maps for this sort of thing. I have never used Bing Maps but heard great things...

  • Hm. You are well within the character limit for a description. Maybe try utilizing those remaining 20 characters to pump up the description. What is Webmaster Tools saying? Any HTML suggestions, crawl errors, etc?

  • Hi Cyrus, Thank you for your note and my apologies for delay in response. The indexation number is from Google Webmaster Tools. The two are identical and I've tested other XML sitemap files that are in GZ format that opened fine in the browser without unzipping them or prompting a DL. The sitemaps were uploaded to GWT as the .gz files only since we have many pages to upload. I'll check with our Dev Team regarding the XML parsing error. Please let me know what other areas we need to look into based my answers to your questions. Thank you for your help, I greatly appreciate it!

  • Xenu does work well. The option to see this, that I never had used before is "Export Page Map to Tab Seperated File". Looks exactly what I need. Thanks!
