Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks so much your helpful advice. I really appreciate it! Jim

Unless there is a very strong reason, I would go for a separate TLD - sub domains are a lot less popular than they used to be and do tend to be more for sites that perhaps have lots of country specific content or really want to keep it all together, as William said. And if you went for a sub domain, do you not think that the new brand will be just as visible as if you went for sub folders? If not more so? Cheers, Andy

It doesn't matter sitemaps are designed to make sure all your pages are crawled and improve the chances of indexing. Happy Link building

The more links a sitemap the it harder it is for people to follow but should be ok for search spiders.

This was their answer. Hello There! Thanks for writing in and sorry you're getting this problem. Unfortunately, this might all be due to the fact that your campaign is based on the subdomain http://www.example.com versus the root domain http://example.com. Since the root domain is what is ranking in the engines and is where all of the pages are hosted, including your blog, you're not getting results on those pages or rankings. Instead, you're getting information based on only the pages and rankings that are connected to http://www.example.com. Unfortunately, the only way to solve this is to start up a new campaign based on the root domain http://example.com. After you set everything up in that campaign, you should begin to get crawl data within three to seven days, and everything should be peachy-keen! You'll have a plethora of juicy data that you weren't getting before on the http://www.example.com subdomain. I hope that helps!

Thank you so much guys! This information is incredibly helpful, and easy to transfer over to the client being that it's coming from experts. Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I will focus on quality link building now. This is one aspect which I haven't understood much.But after reading these guides I try to do my best. Meanwhile I will focus on the content more and more. Thank you once again. Much Regards Amit Ganguly

If you look at tutorials you can copy and paste module with all the hard work done. and then you onlyhave to write the redirects

Any of the above variations can be used for mobile site. Though if you see that most of the big sites use m.sitename.com including Google so might want to use that one instead. As long as you can accurately detect the mobile device and 301 redirect to the mobile version of the site you do not have to worry about the duplicate content. Here is the link to Google blogs which talks about basic problems and solutions for the same while making a mobile website: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-friendly.html

Yes i bhlieve it will and since google follows javascript, it should be seen as a link

I'd go for the content at the top too normally as you want your keyword rich content to be as close to the top of the page so that it is treated as a little more relevant. That said, there is quite a lot of text and in this case I can see that visitors might arrive on the page and only see the text above the fold. In which case I might look at a compromise of splitting the content with some above the items and some below. Don't just think about the SEO value, but also about how your actual human visitors are going to experience the site. I'd also surpress the text on the second+ pages on the navigation. People don't need to read it every time and there's a risk of duplicate content issues.

Are you asking that you need advice on how to fix your URLs? You have two domains in that link. I have never seen that before. You may need a programmer to fix it.

Hello Ryan, Thanks for coming to Q&A with your question. I want you to know that your query inspired me to ask two of the best Local SEOs in the country for their opinion on this, and they both agreed that this oft-repeated advice about building links to Place Pages is bogus. I wanted to check with some of my chums before answering your questions, because I see this advice being given all the time on websites, and it's one of those strange myths of SEO that are self-perpetuating. The reasoning that it is not worth it to build links to Place Pages is that they are not indexed, therefore, building links to them is like throwing stuff into a black hole. If you feel linkbuilding will be necessary to enabling your client to rank better, build links to his website. Not his Place Page. Hope this helps! Miriam

Thanks for the reply. I am not fretting about anything but just wanted a reply. Thanks.

Tags carry no SEO value.  All they do is notify your competition the exact keyword phrases that you are targeting.  Matt Cutts has suggested many times that categories alone are a best practice. Have a good one, Jared
