  • Looking at what's cached and appearing in search snippets, it seems like Google is crawling at least some of the text in my HighCharts on MozCast.com. Those charts aren't text heavy, so it's hard to tell how they weight it or if that text is eligible for ranking, but I strong suspect that Google is at least aware of HighCharts and can parse some of the data.

  • Thanks, Sergey. Have you had much experience with implementing this type of feature on a website's main pages (not campaign focused landing pages)? I understand the power in theory but wonder how it would behave for user experience should someone from one position were to share the info to another in the company or different chain of command. Secondly, you mention strict parameters need to be placed so as not to be seen as duplicate content. The search engine crawler would "read" everything at once, no? I'm wondering if a crawler would scan the entire page for all content and could perhaps be confused by the focus of a page if different features were set up to target different audience types. Or maybe it doesn't matter at all and I'm over thinking it?

  • I think part of the problem you're seeing Michael is due to Google's preference for fresh content. It's more prevalent in some industries but I have noticed the rankings boost you get from it is temporary. It degrades over time.

  • Yes - 301 to destination could be the problem. Can you do test w/o redirects putting end URL into rel=alternate? Also you must check correct linking from Android to web: https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/app In ideal linking both must be linked vice versa. Probably one of linking now is broken as far as we see.

  • Yes, we're a news site as well and in our case we want to make sure the low quality pages on TNW aren't indexed.

  • Good choice. You would have to start all over again if you chose to use a new domain name. You would go through a period where you are not visible at all. Also, domain age is a factor google takes into account. It looks like its as long as it is short to change your domain.

  • You can definitely build your new mobile site with a different structure than your old OScommerce site, just make sure that your desktop site has an alternate tag pointing to your new site. I'd also recommend adding canonicals to your old mobile URLs pointing to the new versions; that'll allow you to keep the old mobile site alive, but stop Google from showing it in its index. Hope this helps! Kristina

  • There is nothing majorly different. The biggest thing is that the adult industry is plagued with spammy techniques so it can be tough to achieve rankings and disheartening when you're doing things legitimately and you see spammers getting rankings and Google doesn't smack them down soon enough. You have to get creative, which is why PornHub is such a great example in the industry. Best luck!

  • To be honest, I'm not familiar enough with WooCommerce to provide any good feedback regarding those URLs.

  • Can't you do it the other way? Put the temp HTML site on www - use the www2 to put the Drupal instance. Once the other is ready - remove the HTML & activate the Drupal version? Don't really understand what you're going to do with the www version while the www2 temp version is online. If not possible - can only agree with Egol - it's quite a risk you're running. Quite possible your rankings will take a dive. As we all know, it's easy to go down but a lot harder to regain position.

  • Not at all. Bookmarks are no indication of the quality of the content or a website as a whole. If there were any truth to this, it'd be ridiculously easy to game the system - think of a large company with thousands of computers in their offices, they could have their IT team pre-install Chrome with any number of bookmarked links they want - way too easy.

  • Well - go in SearchConsole and reevaluate site from scratch. As long as you return 404 to hacked pages its' OK for you and for Google. But what they told you in "reconsideration request"? Because "this site may be hacked" isn't helpful for your CTR. PM me site please.

  • I would turn and run if someone offered to build backlinks for $5. I would recommend trying to leverage the Fiverr community to illustrate some graphics for your content piece depending on what you are writing about. Also, take a look at Thumbtack and Upwork you can hire some higher quality free lancers on those platforms to help create some high-quality content. I would invest a lot in creating quality content while looking for ways to leverage and amplify it to build backlinks rather than paying someone from Fiverr to do it. Think about doing some research on influencers within your target market to amplify your content and build backlinks. Hope this helps you out some. thumbtack

  • Thanks for the great responses! Ive read the info that Gaston posted and some more.. Ive decided to go for the change and strip out the /product-category/ to leave space for the keyword that we are ranking for.. Ive added support in our design for textbased category description and that should work i guess. As long as i do a 301 redirect from the old http://domain/product-category/Key1 to http://domain/key1 it will be fine right? Thanks! / Jonas
