Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey, So I wouldn't worry too much about the consequence of videos on page speed. The only instance it's going to cause problems is if you embed a large quality of flash content on a single page. Youtube videos wont cause much issue at all because they are typically embedded using an iframe. I wouldn't worry about filling pages with rich media too much, it's a good thing to do and wont cause load speed issues unless you have tons of enormous images and hundreds of videos on each page. Use HTML5 players or iframes rather than flash for video and ensure that your code is lean and not pulling in unnecessary files from the server. The most common contributor to page loading times is poor code, particularly badly written javascript. Cheers, Phil

This is also the way I would do it as well. Were you able to remove your site? Do you still need any advice for this question?

Yes the warning do matter they are trying to inform you of items you should pay attention that can impact your rankings on search engines. 1.) The number of links per page:  having to many links per page can appear like spam during a search engine crawl  therefore effecting your ability to rank well.   Do you really require that many links per page?  Are most of  these links actually ever being used? I suggest you use site overlay in Google analytic and pin point which of those link are most valuable to your website and think about reducing the ones which are rarely clicked on. 2.) Having such long title tags is a waste of time as search engines will certainly not parse titles longer than 70 characters  any longer than this are cut off and not displayed .  Again these are  factors that will appear like spam injection in your title. 3.) Long URL are also unavoidable for spam and keyword injection reasons i would suggest shorter URLs. Overall if your site is producing the errors you mentioned above  I would seek to resolving them as they are not good in terms of search engine rankings or  pleasant for visitors to your website.

It is a simple Perl program that we wrote.   It reads the feed and writes it in our desired format to a file.  That file is then inserted into pages as a server-side include. We have that program set up to execute hourly as a server cron job. It is an easy read-write program. The category includes are written at the same time.  For each post the Perl program looks for category assignments and writes each of them to a server-side include specific for that category.

It looks like you've changed this to the regular Facebook like button?

I agree this is definitely the best way to do it. However, since you have set it up under your account, you do have the ability to add other accounts as admins and even transfer ownership to them. So you're not stuck! The link that Sebastian gave above, will walk you through the process of doing that.

The zig-zag tears are just showing that they've snipped part of the middle of the page out -- they're showing you stuff that matches your query at the top and bottom of your pages, and removing some of the stuff from the middle that doesn't match your query. You'll see the same thing in print regarding graphs if something is taken out of the X-axis.

I think that is what did it! lol

Thanks for the reply.

Your welcome! Anytime

Creating a new sitemap and submitting it should get rid of those errors. And might I suggest you setup a development domain so you won't have these problems again in future?

Hi! These three answers had some good resources. Did they meet your needs, or are you still looking for some more tools?

Hi Tyler, Did these answers solve your question, or are you still looking for some more help? Thanks! Keri

Welcome to SEOmoz! Please feel free to ask us about the errors here or to email the helpdesk at help@seomoz.org. Let us know how things are going for you, we'd love to be able to help you.

Hi Adam, It is likely that it's just a time issue. OSE updates about once a month, and the last update was February 29th. The crawl was completed before that date, and may have been completed before all of your redirections. The next update should be released on April 10th, and that should have much better results for you. Keri

A bit late with an answer here, but yes, Istvan is correct. The next Linkscape update is April 10th, so you should see changes then!

Hi Mike, Did Jeffrey's answer help you, or would you still like some more assistance getting this cleared up?

Hi Niall, This isn't a case of the canonical tag being properly applied, but a case where two or more pages are so similar in code that they are setting off the SEOmoz duplicate content flags. First of all, those pages look different to us humans. But the SEOmoz web app uses a similarity threshold of 95% of the html code. This takes everything on the page, both hidden and visible into account. In this case, it's counting all of the navigation and sidebar as well, which is significant. What's left of the unique content - the part that matters, makes up less than 5% of the code. Here's a tool you can use to check the similarity: http://www.duplicatecontent.net/ I ran the pages through a couple of tools which showed 98% HTML similarity. And 99% text similarity. For perspective, take a look at Google's cached versions of one of these pages. This is how googlebot sees the page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:mdybPKIjOxUJ:www.fredaldous.co.uk/craft-shop/general-crafts.html+http://www.fredaldous.co.uk/craft-shop/general-crafts.html&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1 That, as we say, is a lot of links! Since Panda, when I see a site with this many navigation links, I usually advise them to restructure their site architecture into more of a Pyramid shape, so that you reduce the overall navigation on each page. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

I would simply leave all PDFs as dofollow - unless they are not unique or if any of PDFs have content that has already been published on the site (html/ page). Are all 52 PDFs have same content? If so I would let get 1 of them indexed and use NOFOLLOW/NOINDEX  on rest  (use robots.txt) and may be even use 'canonical' to prevent the others from being indexed and cause any potential duplicate content issue.
