Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey! I've worked with Woocommerce a bit and share your concerns a bit. We customized the code of woo commerce somewhat to be able to add more copy below the product description and call to action to buy the product to help with SEO. If you have the means to do that, I would recommend it (especially with categories). I would do it gradually to test how the pages perform before shifting everything over.

Hey Andy! I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. Here are a few ideas to help: 1. Link to this new site from a few of your other hobby sites to give it some credibility 2. Either sign up for https://www.yext.com/ (if you can tie a local address to it) or start building some basic social media profiles to start getting a base of links (Facebook, YouTube, Linkedin, Twitter 3. Research people of influence in the industry on Linkedin or Twitter and see if they'll share helpful articles like this: http://www.magnet-fishing.co.uk/how-to-magnet-fish-guide/ to help build some social mentions 4. Keep adding new content

That certainly should help. However it's no guarantee, Google doesn't always follow whats on the page. The problem is you are competing with Nasdaq. But yes that should help. They could also noindex their content for that page however I have a feeling they won't want to do that.

I believe that domain type-ins, unlinked domain mentions, navigational queries, and other uses of your domain online have an influence on rankings.  So, if your domain has a long and strong history of online use, you will be giving that up - at least until it is reestablished.

So glad if it's useful!

Yeah, with above. There is absolutely no difference if your making your website in PHP, HTML 4 or 5, it all comes down (the output) to the very same, HTML! A CMS is just a way to 'manage' the content on your website in a dynamic way, without FTP'ing your way around with files. With dynamic it's simply being extracted from often a SQL related database or so.

Hello, Are they selling the homes, or "renting" a room in the homes? In other words, is there are deed and a mortgage? Depending on the details, each retirement home's landing page could have both the local business / organization Schema, as well as something like this: https://schema.org/Accommodation I doubt you would use product schema.

Thanks Gaston! Good to keep this in mind.

When you say 1300 landing pages are coming online every night that doesn't mean 1300 new pages are being created does it? Based on the rest of your comment I'm taking it to mean that 1300 pages, which were already live and accessible to Google, are being updated and the content is changing if appropriate. In terms of the specific situation I describe above, that should be fine - there shouldn't be a problem with having a system for keeping your site up-to-date. However, each of the below things, if true, would be a problem; You are adding 1300 new pages to your site every night This would be a huge increase for most sites, particularly if it was happening every night, but as I say above I don't think this is the case You are actually scraping key information to include on your site You mention an API so it may be that users are submitting this content to your site for you to use but if you are scraping the descriptions from some sites, and reviews from others that is what would be viewed as spammy and it seems like the biggest point of risk I've seen in this thread.

What are the risks involved? Lose Traffic and Rank you will found much information out there about that. In my own experience, you will have a drop in traffic that you will recover in time-frame 3-6 months. No matter how well you made the migration What are the risks involved? In your case, I would be building links to your site even before running the migration also creating social signals in order to avoid the Google sand box

Let's understand your case, first of all, there are many factors involved in ranking a website. Some of them are internal and others are externals. Based on your comments you want to rank your site Target Location: UK Target Keyword: Dog Breeds Target page: https://www.mypetzilla.co.uk/dog-breeds On page Optimization Score: 89 ( You can check this on Moz Pro > On-Page Grader) With this information, the first thing that you need to check is who is ranking for that keyword in that location, you can do that using several tools like Moz, Ahrefs, Semruhs or Ubersuggest. Moz Keyword Difficulty: 46 Which is not easy, not impossible but is for sure that is not easy Volume: 30K -70K Ubersuggest: Keyword Difficulty: 46 Volume: 90K Ahrefs: Keyword Difficulty: 56 Volume: 60K Based on what I see you're competing in a strong and competitive niche so the first conclusion that jumps to my mind is that you need to change your target keyword for that page. But let's keep digging in your problem. Now let's analyze your target page https://www.mypetzilla.co.uk/dog-breeds **Moz Link Explorer Report ** Page Authority: 32 Domain Authority: 31 Linking Domains: 42 Inbound Links: 1.5K Ranking Keywords: 1 But all this information is useless if you don't have something to compare it. On your Keyword Explorer Tool, you can see the top 10 websites ranking for that keyword and that location Keyword Explorer > Enter Dog Breed > SERP Analysis These are the first 3 results, but I will strongly suggest you that check for your self all the reports in your own **Moz Pro Account ** 1- https://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/profiles Page Authority: 50 Domain Authority: 70 Linking RDs To Page: 199 Linking RDs To Root Domain: 18,393 2- https://www.petwave.com/Dogs/Breeds.aspx Page Authority: 44 Domain Authority: 54 Linking RDs To Page: 129 Linking RDs To Root Domain: 4,642 3 - https://www.purina.com/dogs/dog-breeds Page Authority: 44 Domain Authority: 64 Linking RDs To Page: 51 Linking RDs To Root Domain: 12,564 As you can see there is no a big mystery here, in fact, is very simple You are not competitive enough These are my suggestions Just face the truth, you can't compete with what you have right now mainly because your site is too weak Change your target keywords. Look for long tail keywords with lower competition level such as dog breed finder Run a link building campaign, and I'm not talking about bu..-shit links that you can buy on Fiverr or some  bu..-shit PBN links that can rent or buy for pennies. Cheap Links=Cheap results Optimize your technical SEO, I mean you really need to take care of that. Just to give you an idea on a quick audit I found 4,230 results on your internal pages to build internal links using dog breed anchor pointing to your target page I hope this information answers your question if you consider my answer helps you don't forget to mark it as a Good Answer Regards and have a great day

I'm having a hard time doing it, but these sites are doing this well: kredibir and bahis.

Placing a canonical tag on a webpage that points to a different URL is a suggestion to Google that the page is the same or extremely similar to the page at the specified URL.  It is a suggestion that Google might or might not honor. The more similar the pages the more likely Google is to honor the canonical instructions.  If the pages are not substantially similar, Google will likely ignore the canonical. Your example pages are very different so Google is likely ignoring the canonical instructions. When Google and other search engines first decided to use canonical tags they were not very picky with how people used them.  More recently Google has become more picky and is ignoring lots of canonicals and even ignoring canonicals that they use to honor.

You are welcome

Hey there! I can't really take credit for this, but I found a Moz post from a while ago that might be helpful to you: https://moz.com/blog/how-to-allow-google-to-crawl-ajax-content Rob also links to a more recent article that he wrote on the subject that offered another solution. Hope that helps! Thanks! Mike

Yea that's definitely tricky. I'm assuming you haven't taken out any load balancing that was previously in place between desktop and m. meaning your server is struggling a lot more? The Page Speed Insights tool can be good info but if possible I'd have a look at that user experience index to get an idea of how other users are experiencing the site. A next port of call could be your server logs? Do you have any other subdomains which are performing differently in search console? In terms of getting Google to crawl more, unfortunately at this point my instinct would be to keep trying to optimise the site to make it as crawl-friendly as possible and wait for Google to start crawling more. It does look like the original spike in time spent downloading has subsided a bit but it's still higher than it was. Without doing the maths, given that pages crawled and kilobytes downloaded have dropped, the level of slowdown may have persisted and the drop in that graph could have been caused by Google easing back. I'd keep working on making the site as efficient and consistent as possible and try to get that line tracking lower as an immediate tactic.

Implement schemas certainly can help you to gain some visibility but there are many factors to keep in mind if you go to the site https://schema.org/ you will notice that there tons of options. So not all the schemas available are supported by Google. In Fact, in your case, you should focus on schemas supported by Google, Facebook, Pinterest etc. Here you can find more information about the schemas supported by Google and Facebook https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/mark-up-content https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1175004275966513 So if you are working on a travel agency these are some schemas available for your content Local Business Articles Reviews Also, there are schemas for the business info such as logo contact info location social profiles

Hello Mat, I don't think I'm seeing the same SERPs as you. Is there any way you could give me an example of one of these subdomains? And yes, you're absolutely right that the same problem of keyword cannibalization would apply to subdirectories as well. If it's the woltersk....lu domain I am getting non-secure warnings from Firefox when I try to access it. How many different subdomains are there / will there be? Is it just shop.domain.lu and www.domain.lu or are there others? I didn't see any for "courses." or "software." in the SERP example you provided with the link. If it's just one, I think that's manageable. For example, maybe www. could focus on informational queries (e.g. JavaScript course) and shop. could focus on transactional ones (e.g. Buy Acme JavaScript course). Maybe one could focus on reviews and comparisons, or long-tail queries while the other focuses on short-tail queries. Without knowing more about the domains and your business, it is difficult for me to say.  If you have three or four subdomains all going after the same keywords, that's definitely a problem and I don't think you can avoid cannibalization. At that point, it would be best to choose the strongest domain/subdomain and focus your efforts on ranking one of them instead of watering down your efforts over several.
