Does Google Read URL's if they include a # tag? Re: SEO Value of Clean Url's
Thanks Sachin So basically on sites that use ECWID for their ecommerce, only the main pages on the actual website (not the product pages that ECWID generates which is the part from the hashtag on) get indexed? Essentially Google is NOT indexing any products because ECWID uses an existing page on a website and shows products there. Is that correct? For example if you look at an XML sitemap for the running boards site that we used as an example you will see there are only 10 pages on it. However there are over a 1000 different types of running boards sold on the site which have their own pages populate after a #tag in the url: http://www.runningboards4less.com/index.php?option=com_xmap&view=xml&tmpl=component&id=1

Webmaster tools content keywords conundrum
It's kind of hard to understand this situation but Ill take a crack. Dont worry about Panda as long as you aren't one of those that squeeze the same grammatically wrong keyword phrases, over and over and over. Optimize the new content for the weaker words -> include those target key phrases -> internally link to the main page you want those to be optimized.

How to scan how many pages are scanned?
Hey There, Thanks for writing in with a great question! The Medium account level offers a total of 500,000 pages crawled, but this is automatically set at 50,000 pages for each of your 10 campaigns. At the Medium level, the page limits for the campaigns cannot be changed or customized. The campaign crawl limits can only be customized at the Large level and above. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause! Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. Chiaryn Help Team Ninja

How long does it take for the MOZ Local to update?
It does work for single location as it is a cheaper option. So if you were to build your listing manually on the same directories we submit data to, it would cost more. Unless you are using Yext, automated submission tools rely on standard data propagation for each directory to process data. It is known not to be quick process as each directory ingests data at different times/schedules. if you don't have the time or budget to manually manage your listings, Moz Local would be a quick solution and cheaper solution for data submission. If you have the time and budget for manual management, it takes longer to claim/verify, then submit the data, however it will be quicker to update than waiting for data propagation.

Moz Pro Reports - Can I create Monthly client reports?
Hello! Sorry to hear your reports didn't get sent out. I took a look at your reports and it appears they are all set to export monthly but for weekly data. What you will need to do is re-add your modules for each report but must set the timeframe first, then add the modules and design the report. You will be able to export a monthly report right away for the campaigns that have October data and next month they will be automatically sent. Here is where you will need to set the timeframe first: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s269/sh/1a97476c-0232-4c38-90f5-96dff9e7b9c0/85829df3a9e9b010c238c5b7332fc837 Let me know if this helps!

Duplicate Content - International Sites - AirBNB
The simple answer is they're using a generic TLD(gTLD) and then a county TLD(ccTLD). Google has long said that it recognizes that the same content on different ccTLDs will not count as duplicate because they understand it's geotargeted Ets7nHOV1Yo

Do putting all keywords in a sentence affect seo?
Google just ran a new Panda update targeting quality content. It looks for words related such as synonyms and well written content. Over use of keywords will not help you it will harm you. Google around a bit and read about Panda and quality content. It will become very clear that the methods you describe will only hurt you. @sachin-sv also makes a very valid point that your content should be written with your users in mind. This will help with trust, if users thing your English is poor they may choose to distrust your product. A regular user has no idea why you would mention the word phone so many times. Better ti choose your main key-phrase and a write a compelling sales paragraph such as Our x Phone is [sales pitch] additionally we have durable cases in multiple colours available, replacement batteries, chargers and lots more..... (try using words like mobile/cell etc... and other synonyms where appropriate, the diversity will be good) You could look for other well written sites that sell the same product and rank well in Google, take that a rewrite it with more detailed information. This is going to work much better for you and will not get you penalised for keyword stuffing.

Should I noindex my blog's tag, category, and author pages
Noindex tags and your author page (if you only have 1 author) For categories, leave it alone, just add a bit of unique content there, much like how ecommerce sites do it.

Is my site penalized by Google?
Thank you Gary for your effort and great insight. I didn't realize we were ranking in Google search sites other than Google.com . But it explains why WMT says we are getting some traffic from Google. Unfortunately we are not showing up for our own domain for the term "Armia" for almost an year now. So it is not a regular recalculation. This is our main corporate site. Most of the blog updates and social channels are updated through two different product sites. The social channels connected is our own product site Good point the keywords. May be it is time to retire it. I knew Google stopped taking them into account. I didnt know it impacts adversely. Thanks again Gary. Aji

The sponsors on the right are friendly sites within the same area. They also have links/banners on their sites for us. We do not sell links. With that said, i did link building with the websites i have on the right. Nothing black/grey.
