Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have always included targeted keywords such as 'bed bugs barrie' and it has worked well.

To add to Who Wudda Thunk's response above, SEMRush's position tool can show top 20, but if you have the budget for an enterprise level tool, BrightEdge's Data Cube tool offers this reverse rank checking feature and displays keywords ranking in positions 1-100--80 more positions than what SEMRush covers.

Sorry about not being clear on the dev. PrestaShop is totally OSS like Magento or Wordpress. So generally what we do is take a spec from a client, see if their are modules commercially available for the functionality they want. If not, we just figure in developing them from scratch. I think how most people do with a site of that magnitude. As for the really believing in PrestaShop, I do. It might not be the best situation, but I do have all of my eggs in that basket and I hope nothing bad becomes of it.

Awesome information. Thanks for taking the time to respond. -Richard

Thanks Candyman, yes this is not a question about to prevent Google for not indexing my content, I know this very well. It is more about how quick they have done this with the least amount of effort on our part to inform them. Plus it is quite an interesting situation you found yourself in, never heard of this before. Many thanks David

Thanks Pixelbypixel and Erin, I think it's the fundamental of SEO market in Chinese, Japanese, Korea. But, I am not sure it's related to UTF-8 code page ? My page is UTF-8.  I guess it's related the 'phase' of the sentence. It's hard to make index by a simple rule. Moz parser engine don't know a phase is composed of 2 or 3 or 4 characters in a sentence. For example: "專案管理" , "專案" means 'Project' , "管理" means 'Management', but "專"  "案"  "管"  "理" each single character will be used in other sentences but with different meanings. It's complex, I think google knew the rule very well. But, at least, you don't need to count each character. Because we will put the keyword by ourselves, we just want to know a phase "專案管理" , we don't care them separately. Chinese and Japanese market is huge, why don't you hire a asian engineer to do such research ? The ROI will be great ! William

Thanks, I have reported the business location closed, so I'll try again and see what happens.

Hey Doug, had another question for you. A big majority (90% of 18,000+ errors) of our 404 errors are coming from .jsp files from our old website. Of course, it's not ideal to manually update or redirect these, but possibly write a script to automatically change them. Would it be beneficial to add this .jsp to our robots.txt file?

Thank you Michael.

You don't want duplicate or near duplicates in the same account for sure. Last I checked, that's a violation of The Googles terms of service. Naturally you want everything to be as accurate as possible. I would probably Report the old, inaccurate listing as closed and verify the new listing with the correct information at roughly the same time. Then hustle and update all of the top tier listings with the old suite number. And when I say Top Tier, I mean pretty much anything Moz Local would feed if/when you have an account. Then I would prioritize top listings by some combination of city and category. There are probably also some 'hidden gems' that show well for your client's geo/keyword combinations. If you use Moz Local to do the job, make sure you submit the new NAP.

Hello MXRSEO, You're correct, this is achieved with the correct markup / microdata and using Google's rich snippet testing tool will verify you have the tags set up properly. You can also go into Google Webmaster Tools and use their highlighter feature to try and get it to show that way. You'll then need to wait to see the site reindexed and remember, Google doesn't have to use that microdata in their SERPs and will often omit some of it. You can see the amount of 'structured data' Google has collected right through GWT too.

You're a letter too long and a hyphen short. Try re-certification. Believe it or not, I thought about this all night. Friday Night: NON-STOP SEARCH ENGINE ACTION I'll go cry somewhere now. But I'm not really crying. I'm cutting onions, for a lasagna, for one. You can do a pretty easy find and replace if the site DB is capable of handling that. Static stuff can be hard.

Pages load correct at: http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html And do not load at: http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g So you need to Redirect http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g TO http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html You can do this with the line of code in .htaccess Redirect 301 /kolea-rentals/9g http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html Let us know if that works? You can also try the redirect plugin, although personally I prefer using .htaccess for redirects

Let's put it this way, all of the major search engines in the Western hemisphere have endorsed microdata. It's basically the WordPress of semantic data now. Everyone agreed that it would make everyone's life easier if we all adopted a uniform semantic markup. There may be a plan for graceful degradation of RDFa, there may not. But it's somewhat rare to get such an emphatic endorsement from every search engine of consequence in the Western market. Schema has a pretty solid general taxonomy for many common instances. The types and properties keep growing. The only reason you should go with RDFa over microdata is if there's something you can't do otherwise. Though that is likely doubtful at this point. Scroll all the way to the accordions on this page. You will see something that will make your decision easier.

Mel, "Authority" is Moz's method of measuring strength and just like measuring a person's strength, the measurement doesn't really mean much unless/until it is used in comparison to the strength of something else.  Moz's calculation of page strength, aka "page authority" provides a means for you to measure the strength of one page as compared to others and the their calculation of "domain authority" provides a means to compare one domain's strength against others.  As you're learning, don't worry too much about all the technical aspects that go into calculating authority, but use the calculation simply as a comparison tool. Moz's description of "page authority" Moz's description of "domain authority" Now, when it comes to which of these two calculations you should pay attention to when,  I usually think of it like this: if a competitor's search result for a term you are doing keyword research for is an interior page of their website (not the homepage), you'll want to think about using the "page authority" calculation to compare an interior page you're optimizing with your competitor's result.  If the competitor's result for the the target keyword is their homepage, then think of using "domain" authority" to compare the strength of your two sites in order to get an idea of how much (offsite) work you'll have to put in in order to rise above them for your target keyword.

Are there any storefronts or places where the business does in-person transactions?

Hi CFSSEO, I don't have any hard evidence, but I would think that it doesn't help your site get crawled more frequently. Most of the time Google decides how frequent they will crawl your site, especially if it is a large and high traffic website (they remove the crawl settings and assign you a 'special crawl rate'). Yes, this would cause slower page load times - if the no-cache rule is actually being followed which doesn't happen all the time. It will remove the 'cached' link in the SERPs In a scenario where the page has dynamic content that updates frequently, then it may be a good idea to use that tag. However, I don't think it will provide much of an SEO benefit.

Adding to this, and sorry if there is an obvious answer - I just want to make sure, I should create a new tag for beta site that is blocked, yes?
