Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Dan, So that's the problem. Our site is up and i can manually navigate to anything including the robots.txt file. I've done this multiple times throughout the day and different days as well and manually triggered different Moz crawls at different times so i've ruled out an outage.

Yes. He already has his site, and now he wants to add a new product page to his site, but use his new url to point to it? Which doesn't make sense...?

Hi Hamish I'm not sure how many products you have listed on your website but I am only guessing that it is not 4m of even 400,000. I think the question you should be asking yourself is 'do I really need so many URLs?' If you have 50,000 products in your site then frankly you only need maybe 51000 pages in total (including support pages, brands (maybe), categories and sub-categories.  I am only guessing but I would suggest that the other pages are being created by tags or other attributes and that these elements are creating acres of duplicate and very skinny content. My usual question is - 'so you have 400,000 (never mind 4m) pages in Google? - did you write or generate 400,000  pages of useful, interesting, non-duplicate and shareable content? The answer of course is usually no. Try switching off sets of tags and canonicalizing very similar content and you'll be amazed how it helps rankings! Just a thought Regards Nigel Carousel Projects.

Hi , Best way to check using fetch and render in Google search console. If you see everything is visible in result no need to worry. Hope this helps. Thanks

Hi SwanseaMedicine, Have a read of this hidden content experiment by Reboot Online: https://www.rebootonline.com/blog/hidden-text-experiment/ It was a very well-run experiment and, in summary, they found that visible content outperformed hidden content. However, this will change once Google's mobile-first index rolls out (sometime in 2018?) where hidden content will be given full weight (source). Cheers, David

Thank you very much I will rewrite the post.

Have you looked at this post, Sunday? I believe it will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

I'm having the same question - all these duplicate content issues on the Moz report and no idea what it means or how to fix them - if I have prior blogs in the "related links" column is that counting as duplicate content?

It's for sure not an issue on the Google side. Usually things are changing on your side that will influence this. It can be the most minimal change that might have an impact on this. Usually I wouldn't worry about it too much and use your sitemaps to verify what % of your pages is submitted versus indexed.

It would appear that GSC has pretty much resolved itself. It may have simply been a glitch at the time.

Hi Rodney, Take a look at this article titled "Large Site SEO Basics: Faceted Navigation" by Serge Stefoglo: https://moz.com/blog/large-site-seo-basics-faceted-navigation It covers what you want to know in great detail and discusses the various options for handling faceted navigation for SEO. Cheers, David

The H1s will affect Google. H1s directly affect SEO as it drives how relevant your page is for that keyword. As to whether it would positively or negatively affect SEO is unknown until you do it and depends on the keywords you're targeting and whether the new H1 is better or worse than the new one. Google doesn't particularly care about the other headings too much - as long as they are logical from a user point of view they get bulked into 'content' in terms of SEO rules for relevancy/keyword stuffing etc. The tracking won't affect SEO, but internal linking will affect SEO. If you're linking more to category A for example as compared to the old site linking to category B, then this will give Google a signal that you're site is more relevant to category A terms than B. This goes hand in hand with external linking to give signals to Google. Hope that helps.

Pleasure Zack!

Thanks, Lesli, It seems that you were correct.  There seems to have been a coding error, which I fixed and implemented. After pushing the code again, I saw the changes reflected immediately like you said. Thanks for your help with this! Best, Sung

Hi Anthony, Thanks for that response, that makes a lot of sense. Best, Zack

Hi Ian, Thanks for your support!
