Welcome to the Q&A Forum

301 one of the domains to the other domain. That should work. You need to decide if you want a www.site.com or a non-www, just site.com. Keep it consistent from here on out. Code for htaccess to redirect non-www to www: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hi Bob, I think you are asking about PageRank Sculpting. There was talk awhile ago about this no longer being practical and that the juice was lost due to changes in the algo. I think SEOmoz ran some tests on this that were inconclusive... so generally I think opinion is still PageRank Sculpting is dead. Maybe look up some stuff on faceted navigation to deal with the issues you may be having with the site. Hope this helps. G

Yea as Highland and Marcelo basically said it, if it's Duplicate content than the only thing you can really do is place a canonical tag, or just rewrite the content. Now I think from what Steve and I are getting from your question is that, you have "similar" content not the "same" content but "similar" content on your website.  If it's similar content than I would simply try to add more content on one of the pages, or just rewrite it, or re-purpose the article. Hope that helps

I've added a picture of my crawl errors in SEOMoz Cq3he

The 301 should be outside the <ifmodule>. Maybe you could post the other 301 redirects and the one which isn't working here.</ifmodule> Creating a new index.html and redirecting from it would give you a 302 or even a meta-redirect, which in regard to seo is not recommended.

Use the SEOmoz crawl report. Let Roger loose on your site, then when the report is available, filter the excel file on the broken link field. Then check the "referrer" field for each broken link. The referrer field will show the page where the broken link was discovered. You can then use the SEOmoz bar to highlight the links on a page. Sometimes a link isn't obvious as it is hidden. In those cases you can always right-click on the page and choose View Page Source from the options, then search for the link.

If it's not a competitive keyword, or a phrase that's unlikely to be found elsewhere then it will rank them all. They're all indexed and they're all relevant to the query. They wouldn't all rank if other sits had that same specific word string.

Google just pushed out a toolbar pagerank update today. http://www.seroundtable.com/june-2011-google-pagerank-13615.html

Would the wayback machine coincide with when Google starts indexing?

The biggest concern would be potentially losing some of the PageRank passed. However, in my experience, these kinds of internal redirects tend to go off without a hitch if well executed. 1. Make sure that you have a good understanding of all URLs that are to be redirected and that the redirect does occur correctly. 2. Watch analytics, GWT, and server logs like a hawk the first 48 hours after the redirect to make sure you aren't missing. 3. Consider doing Sitemap Assisted Redirects (Google it) to speed up the process

PageRank is content unaware - it is solely a measurement of link popularity. The PageRank remains zero for these pages because, more likely than not, Google has simply not updated the Toolbar PR. What is the MozRank for these pages?

Since schema.org is the new standard and adopted by Bing, Google and Yahoo, it is the better option. It also has more detail in its schema.

interesting, thanks very much for your thoughts and time

I have written what I hope you will find to be a helpful guide to adding +1 to a website. There are some links there with some in-depth Google +1 information that can help. http://www.squidoo.com/google-plus-one

Hashtags can be used for multiple purposes in URLs but the only one I have personal experience with is their tracking ability. Two examples of services which can track URLs via hashtags are TYNT and AddThis. You add a code snippet to your site in much the same way that you add Google Analytics. From that point forward, all of your URLs will have a unique hash tag added. Anytime someone copies and pastes your URL, it will contain a this tag. When a user clicks on the link, you can identify the specific source via TYNT or AddThis. The service is free and they offer nice reporting options. Tynt is more experienced in this area, but AddThis offers other social sharing tools (facebook, twitter, google+1, etc) as well. I used to use TYNT until AddThis added the feature, which is when I switched to AddThis.

Open Site Explorer is its own crawler, and is separate from the Google index. OSE just may not have crawled that particular page yet.

is there a way to insert the title tag dynamically on each blog post via the cms? CMS is software, and every software package is different. I will share there should be a way to do it, but you would need to search your CMS provider's site to get the details. For your titles, I am not clear what you are asking. I would recommend the title tag for your blog matching your blog's title. You may want to add your site name or category name depending on the situation. For example if your site is "Chevyworld.com" and you have a blog entry titled "1982 Stingray, the end of an era" then the post title could be: 1982 Stingray, the end of an era 1982 Stingray, the end of an era | Chevyworld 1982 Stingray, the end of an era | Corvettes | Chevyworld In the first example, your CMS would be adjusted to use the blog title for the title tag. In the second, the blog title plus your site name would be used for the title tag. The last example uses the blog title, the blog's main category tag and the site title. Will google treat each entry as a unique page? You need to ensure each page can only be accessed by one URL. For example, take a look at the following blog article's URL: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html Now try to access that same article with various other URLs such as without the www or with adding a trailing slash character: http://huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html/ Notice that when you try to remove the "www' the same article appears but the site's redirect works and adjusts the URL by adding the "www'. Does your blog article redirect itself in this manner? Or does it display for both the www and non-www url? Another example is the trailing slash. In this case the URL is adjusted and a question mark is added. If you View Page Source you will see there is a canonical meta tag which ensures the correct version of the page is consistently used by search engines.
