  • Yes, If you have a portion of FAQ's on homepage you can add faq schema to it. It will help in rich snippet.

  • You might be able to do this using the "RewriteCond" condition to specify the new subdomain paths. This guide should give you the basic template: https://www.hostwinds.com/guide/redirect-subdomain-using-htaccess/ Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Without being able to see the site, here are some steps I would recommend taking: 404 all sold products Ensure users must enter unique titles, descriptions, images. Even if they create something similar, these aspects could be unique Show "Similar Products" for all sold pieces Redirecting technically isn't the best practice unless the destination is very similar. As well, this will slow down your site's server response times if done at scale. Allowing them as 200 status codes will create a lot of duplicate content it seems. If you send the site, I could take a further look here!

  • Hey Tim! Definitely an interesting question. If the links are tagged as "nofollow" than you should be OK in general. Even if they weren't, there's a good chance that Google is simply discounting the value of the links. If you're really worried about it, you could test adding the domain to your disavow file and waiting to see if there are any positive shifts in rankings during this time. In our experience with disavowing domains, if a site doesn't pass the eye-test of "this adds value to my site", than it's generally safe to disavow. If you post the link I'd be happy to take a look!

  • Hello, In reality they are not, the ?amp is just a query its also where canonical tags become important.  You could link to planmymoment.com?testing the 'value' would still go to your main domain assuming you have canonical tags on. Now obviously the link would still 'look' like its going to a different place but the canonical tag would tell e.g. Google the original content is the homepage. Hope that makes sense, the short version is there is nothing to worry about.

  • I think you might be over thinking the TLD a bit much. Take a step back and look at it more like this - "does it benefit the user" if the site is relevant to your niche it really doesn't matter if its a .com .co.uk or even a .org etc. its the content of the site that's important more than the domain ext.  I'd argue a point if you had a varied link profile but it doesn't matter too much if its .com etc. Hope that helps. *quick edit If you are worried a bit more and want to get more technical you could use the sites scehma to help with targeting but again it should be relevance first.

  • The .co.uk domain is already geo-targeted to the UK, so unless you are targeting other countries/languages

  • I need further clarification to answer you properly. Is domain (b) now redirecting to domain (a) since it was acquired? What do you mean exactly when you say that domain (b) is linking to domain (c)? Links within the content of domain (b) are linking out to domain (c)?

  • 1. Search Console tells you, that they use a canonical for the homepage, that doesn't mean John Mueller is talking about that in this webmaster hangout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAagTHeF9N0) 2. I can just guess, think it could be a structure thing, and maybe it is to fresh - 6 month old site with several regions set-up in same language. So a lot of duplicates, canonicals aso Google has to deal with. And of course, Homepage is strong, your landingpage may not be strong enaugh.   And whatever happens on Googles Page 5 is more or less useless data. If it still happens when you are on page 2, guess than there is a real problem.  At the moment, without knowing anything, asuming hreflangs, canonicals are right, think it is a structure, time, pagerank combined thing. 3. You can use canonicals and it depends, if you need them, you need them - no matter if hreflang in use or not.  You have to send the same signals, not confusing once. I think here is helpful stuf about hreflang and canonicals working together (https://www.searchviu.com/en/hreflang-canonical/) 4. It depends on depth, difficulty, and a lot more factors. I cant say anything here without topic or domain / page 5. You use hreflang, so you tell google what to rank where. Sending confusing signals (hreflang to a page wich has a canonical to anywhere wich has an hreflang-back  to that page. Nice confusing chain... ) google will start to ignore your canonicals in this case Hope that helps a bit

  • Hi Since November we migrated our shop from Magento 1 to 2 and our organic traffic has dropped by 50%. We still haven't figured out the cause (or a solution). But our developer has found out that Magento 2 handles Javascripts in a different way which causes a very bad result at Google PageSpeed Check. We have been in contact with magento and they advise to partly bundle Javascripts and partly offer separate files. Have you also had this problem? Is your organic traffic back to the level it was before the migration? Charlotte (www.dochorse.nl)
