Same webinar, same Issue over here ! How did you get around this problem ? Picasa ? Flickr ? Straight from your computer ? I guess straight from my computer will do for now...It seems like a quick and easy fix, but not optimized...!

As well as Google Analytics and Google Adsense IDs.

Well, you can start with authenticating your site in Google and Bing, then going to brightlocal.com / whitespark.ca , tw/g+/fb/li and social bookmarking sites (5-10 tops). Web directories take a lot of time to get into but do try odp/joeant/botw and then aim for local directories + links from your customers' connections. Do you need a list of sites or just some pointers?

Also should I make not of that redirection in google webmaster account too? Like a canonical redirect can be noted?

Cool, keep me posted.

Thanks so much Marcus! Webmaster tools - no messages or notifications, this is the HTML Improvements section... what other info would be useful? HTML Improvements Last updated Oct 11, 2012 Addressing the following may help your site's user experience and performance. Meta description Pages Duplicate meta descriptions 18 Long meta descriptions 0 Short meta descriptions 10 Title tag Pages Missing title tags 0 Duplicate title tags 11 Long title tags 0 Short title tags 0 Non-informative title tags 0 Non-indexable content Pages We didn't detect any issues with non-indexable content on your site. There has been an increase in 404's from 0 to 61 - I wonder if the update to my ecommerce package removed my redirects from the previous php version of the site to the current asp? Number 1 is the previous sites main page! Will get on this today... What info is most pertinent from my campaign? Happy to provide reports etc - but also don't want to overload with TMI - let me know Thanks again Marcus! Cath

I think the only time you need to be worried about this is if you have the exact same content published on your own website/blog. If you do, ensure you add a rel="author" link  (to either author page on site or Google+ profile) and that your webpage is indexed in the search engine before any other site publish identical or similar content.

Sara, this post will help you get the solution. http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164734

You are welcome Jasmeet. By Pagination I mean the URLs that come in the number section which is at the bottom of the page, i.e. 1 2 3 4 5 6 (and so on..). These pages were earlier dynamic and now they have been rewritten to their static schema. On the description, I would strongly recommend to change them, you can have some dynamic description being generated that would prevent the load of manual editing of the meta description. On this being the issue?, well there are so many factors Jasmeet that I doubt to say this is the one, but yes, correcting this will definitely help the website in the over all performance and can help solve this one too. Identifying the duplicate URLs in a website majorly depends on understanding the URL structure so that is one manual short way and if you want tools to do that work, there are a few: 1. G Site Crawler - This is a downloadable tool and identifies the URLs by crawling the entire site. 2. SEOMoz Pro - If you have a paid account for the campaign, they have duplicate issues as one of their errors to be reported. The excel later can be downloaded. No tool, runs on the Moz interface. 3. XENU - There is no particular classification of duplicate URLs so this may not be the appropriate one in this case. Let me know if you need any more info, Cheers, Akhil

Hi Dana, Thank you for your tips. About the Hub Page, I don't get it, do you have any example I can see? If you lookt at the page source on a couple of product on http://furnacefilter.corecommerce.com you will see, I have created a URL with the filter size, page title and meta description with filter size. Thank you, BigBlaze

Aivaras, Where to start??? First,  Also you are correct about the issues with top stores and top coupons pages, we still didn't rectified the issue with these pages but they are not very important at the moment. I don't see how two of your top three pages being 404 responses can NOT be very important at the moment? You want to rank for these pages and yet if I link to top stores, the link has ZERO value. The fix is fairly simple, why would you not just fix it? Now, as to business model comment, I would agree that there are a ton of affiliate sites that are based on promos and coupons and that the content is thin, thin, thin. But here is your question: How near to reality this can be? Since we offer good savings content for people who are looking to save money which I consider a very healthy and good niche for consumer. My opinion on this is not an SEO opinion but a business opinion based on having owned a few businesses in my life. My answer to what you say is, "so what?" lots of businesses offer consumers savings and while it may be "healthy" or "good niche for consumer," the real question is: Is it a good business for the business? Restaurants are the business with the highest failure rate. They start with a premise of: We offer great food to people at a fair price which we consider a very healthy and good niche for the consumer. They still fail due to high competition, poor management, and lack of adequate capital among other reasons. I would suggest reading a highly valuable book that speaks to what you are doing in a very competitive, older vertical: Blue Ocean Strategy by Renee Maurbogne and W. Chan Kim.  I hope you find something that will assist you in what I have provided. Robert

Hi Marcus, Thanks for your reply. Your answer sounds logical and well informed. I have heard about some google changes recently but that was regarding Exact Match Domains but if that was all I should be fine. As a little update. I have asked the developers who fixed the problem exactly what they did; details. Their reply is as follows: "Regarding Magic SEO Issue Whenever Magic SEO is installed in .htacess file it is activated from admin; it makes a new cache folder for its functionality.Some one have rename cache file on live server. Magic SEO needs cache folder which is in root directory not in magic SEO folder.So we have reinstalled magic SEO as we want to create a new cache file for its proper working." You mentioned accessibility of dynamic files. That's interesting. I will take that up with technical support with my hosting provider and also if they know about why the cache file was renamed. Many thanks again Marcus for your feedback Pete

This is a very subjective situation I think. If you had an older, very large, well-established site, the rate at which links are acquired might have a history. As with anything, there are times when things might have peaks and valleys. For example, if you are Coca-Cola and you release a new product, you might see a huge jump in the number of inbound links as the news breaks, and then things will setlle back down to normal. Google understands that this type of thing is normal. I'd take a look at the linking profiles, site-size and domain age of your competitors. Since your site sounds like it will be a brand new one, Barn-burning your way past your competitors in terms of inbound links in the first week is probably going to raise Googlebot's eyebrows a bit. However, I have to (as always) throw in the caveat that no one, not me, nor anyone here, can predict what Google will or won't like, rank or penalize. Look at the profiles of your competitors, if at most they are adding a link or two a day, then stay within that. But of course, ideally, the links are coming because you've built a better site than your competitors and people just are naturally wanting to link to you (I know, I know....in a perfect world....) Trust your gut. If you are going agreesively after links and have to ask yourself "Is this too many too fast?"...then it probably is.

Hey, that sounds fairly solid. let me know how you get on.
