  • Could not imagine why that should be bad. Each Product Feature is good to be explained (for the user at least). Linking between different sub-directories in general is not a problem. The only thing what could make a "Problem" is, that your guides are linked a lot better than the rest. I usually ask myselfe: Is that link useful for the user? And if the answer is yes, I care less about possible Problems. I just think twice when it is an external Link. Additional, for internal Linking - https://moz.com/blog/should-seos-care-about-internal-links-whiteboard-friday

  • Redirect 301 and for all pages? So, do you redirected demo.website.com to website.com/demo or everything like demo.website.com/article/post123.html to website.com/demo/article/post123.html And the question is, maybe both is indexed. google something with inurl:seomoz.org - you would be suprised

  • Hi Martin, There is no such issues like cache or crawler access. Don't even think keyword cannibalization. Might be internal linking which I'm not sure about finding the exact mistake and working on linking pages.

  • Hi There Doing a little research, I understand s.w.org is for emojis. This can be disabled if you don't want to use emjois: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-dns-prefetch-of-sworg/ It seems like the Google Fonts one is nothing to worry about: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/dns-prefetch-fonts-googleapis-com/

  • In terms of why things might have changed - if nothing has changed technically on the site, then the most likely reason is simply that one of the sequence of Google algorithm updates targeting quality has impacted the site: https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change I wouldn't spend too long trying to work out why it might have changed - and instead would put the energy into improving what you can. Good luck!

  • Hey there, there's nothing wrong with having more sitemaps than one. In some cases it's even better because it's easier for Google to crawl them. You can divide the sitemaps by categories, months, types of content etc. However, as mentioned in the following thread, HTML sitemaps are supposed to help primarily people in navigating in the website, whereas XML sitemaps serves for helping the crawler. Therefore, I'd give priority to the XML sitemap in this case. For more information, read this thread: https://moz.com/community/q/sitemaps-html-and-or-xml Cheers, Martin

  • To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what your question is. The subdomain will still be under your domain. It will be the same website but a part of it will be on a different server. The traffic will count for the domain. Even if Google would see this subdomain as a different site (which I don't will be) you still don't have what to worry about because you would have used 301 redirects and all the links will point to the new subdomain. So all you really have to do is change all the links that you can (which lead to the login page) and then do a 301 redirect from the old one to the new one. This is safe in terms of SEO and you don't have to worry about losing your position in the SERPs. Hope this helps!

  • If there is something involved with link reclamation, then this is a very involved potential issue. Meaning, I am not sure someone can figure this out on a forum. If you need help, I recommend contacting Alan Bleiweiss, he is an awesome forensic SEO. http://alanbleiweiss.com/ I will leave you with one recommendation. Don't look so much to your competitors as to what is best for your market. I recommend doing your own audience research. While your major competitors might be the same in the US and India, the relevance and needs of your audience are different. This comes out subtly in many instances of SERPs as the results are a blend of over 200 factors and those factors are different in each country version of Google. They do their own testing based on that market not the world wide market. Stick to your site and what might be causing the ranking changes on a per page/per topic basis in each country. Separate them and work at this problem from a technical and user perspective.

  • If you have lots of inline css, but would like to implement a site wide style change - e.g. changing text size, or your updating your brands colours - any inline css could stop this from taking affect fully and instead of a quick change to a single line of css in a stylesheet, you could potentially have to update hundreds of files wasting time and effort that could be spent elsewhere.

  • Hi, Our login page is for users, nit employees. Most of the people browsing from our website will browse through login page. So I'm afraid what signals we are sending to Google by noindex or nofollow such important page. Again, I don't think login page has been making on results just because it's highly browsed.

  • LuckyOrange is awesome, fairly cheap as well. You can view heatmaps, scroll stats and actual video recordings of users interacting on your website. We have used LuckyOrange for about 3 months now and have gained a lot of insight from it for our client's websites.

  • Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to here. Rather than having Page A > Page B > Page C, you should break those out into 2 different ones: Page A > Page C, and Page B > Page C.

  • Penalties are never a guarantee and we only have best practices to follow. The risk is there for sure. Duplicate content is never a great plan and for a 5-15 page website, the risk is not worth the reward in my books. Hire a copy writer and have them re-write it. What a GP offers from clinic to clinic are similar but what's unique is the doctor and location. Then do your typical local optimization work with listings, places and basic directories and you should be golden. This post will support my advice and provide context for a much larger business with a similar question: https://moz.com/community/q/duplicate-content-local-seo-250-locations Hope that helps. Brent

  • I have been using WIX for my website www.siimajackets.com. Some of my keywords are currently ranking in top 5 in UK. I am an SEO my self. You will eventually rank but it will take time just like with any other platform. When i did the website i didnt know much about SEO. Now i know but i am still with wix since i invested a lot on their platform. I can't say i am dissappointed. The website is good. Speed is very good both on mobile and desktop. Rankings are getting higher. There are so many things to consider in order for your page to rank high. The platform is one of them but it will not restrict you from ranking in page one of google. Let me know if you need any help.

  • The short answer is "no", you wont get penalized for having multiple H1 tags if the UI is subtle and the User Experience is great.

  • That is exactly what option #2 is as described above.  The page does not get re-indexed when the new content is available (at least in the time that I need it to be)

  • I agree with the others. Given "https://www.mysite.com/index.html is not currently displayed in search results", in all likelihood it is being redirected to https://www.mysite.com (and should be). So you don't want to change the canonical to the index.html version of the page only to have it redirected back to https://www.mysite.com. It'll unnecessarily slow the site and might even create a loop.
