  • You're not the only one with that question. Google replied to WebProNews  at http://www.webpronews.com/google-instant-pages-analytics-2011-06 See that post for a more complete response, but in brief they said that they're only going to "only issues the prerender hint when it is confident that it knows where the user will click, in some cases it will mispredict, resulting in a page that has appeared to load but was never actually shown to the user." and go on to say that there's a new page visibility API that should help weed out a false positive.

  • I agree with the comments already presented. Many slow sites are that way because of how they are implemented. There are many free tools to help. Two tools that I use regularly when developing a site are YSlow and Firebug. Both are Firefox plug-ins that provide a great deal of information on the performance of a site.

  • A different Matt but I have to/still agree that you need to password protect the site. This isn't just for a protection against crawlers but also anyone else who might be snooping around. Unless your client is okay with their work being released early into the wild you should password protect it. The good news is that many hosting companies have tools that will automagically generate the .htaccess files for your.

  • That's a very serious consideration.  I wouldn't wander too far from the primary phrase, and would even consider leaving the primary phrase on that inner page then having two others on that page that are tightly focused and related. Add some internal links to those additional phrases, work on some inbound links with those.  Just be sure you don't let that slip away and have the overall page's focus diluted away from the primary.

  • You are correct, those sites do show but only when you are searching for those domains.  I'm not seeing a sitemap.xml file, but that would be strongly recommended.  Google does support sitemap indexes, which would be perfect for you in this situation!  You'll need to submit a separate sitemap for each language, and there you can identify the root/home page for each one. http://www.threebit.com/blog/seo/sitemaps-and-multilingual-websites.html You need to communicate to Google where your /es and /de are residing.  Having sitemaps in place for each of those roots would be best.  Further, if you are defaulting to English, you should probably have your root domain point to the English site (/en) since the root and the /en are essentially the same page. And yes, the root domain does have a language code in the head.

  • Assuming the website we're talking about is the same as in your email address, I find the meta robots tag For the page https:// webshop . acsi . eu / en / checkout / onepage / (spaced to prevent indexation of this post). Are you sure the right meta tags are in place?

  • Pretty much all hosting companies offer dedicated ips but they are likely to be of the same class C subnet as ips are bought in blocks.

  • Ok, problem solved. The methodology in my question was apparently not the right approach. The structure should I had to set up a language folder /en/ and copy my index.php and .htaccess file to that location. Then I modified the index.php file to direct to the 'en' site and changed the base URL in the Magento backend to /en/. Also, I turned off 'add store code to URL'. Now my Taiwan visitors see http://www.88kbbq.com/ and visitors to the English site see http://www.88kbbq.com/en/. No redirects necessary.

  • Links are still viewed as links whether they are no followed or not. A broken link (404) will still be detected regardless of whether you added the nofollow attribute or not. Rather then let those links 404, I would suggest an alternative. Have those links go to a specific page on the site designed for expired links. How about a "Oops, that deal is expired. Click <here>to see a list of our current deals" page.</here>

  • It will be any part of the URL that doesn't handle navigation, so look at what you can delete off the URL without breaking the link to the product page. Take a look at this: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-parameter-handling-tool-helps-with.html Remember, this will only work with Google! This is another interesting video from Matt Cutts about removing content from Google: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/01/remove-your-content-from-google.html

  • Embedding your Youtube video on your site will help promote your Youtube video on organic results in Youtube and Google. The number of embeds is definitely one of the factors that is looked at in the Google algorithm.

  • That's the biggest challenge with data.  It can change over time  either with or without additional work on our part, due to the market, as well as due to search engine factors. So the question is now - will it stay this way for a consistent period of time.

  • This is exactly  what I'm trying to determine as well.   My initial findings tilt toward very low seo value but haven't found a definitive answer.
