Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am not positive, but I think you are confused about GWT and url parameters. GWT lets you specify parameters to ignore, is that where you put them in? Google Analytics on the other hand allows you to put parameters in to monitor click through rate and all of the other things it does.

Yea I found a folder and in it was not just the towns from that county but folders for each county which were also up a folder level (where they should be). I don't use PPC for the Top 10 site listed in my profile. I use it for the site I've had the issue with here (a separate site not listed in my my profile). It's a white label site but I'm struggling to make the PPC profitable to be honest. Any tips appreciated!

Thank you John, This is the support i needed, Thanks for the additional info, i was looking at Analytics Remarketing , looks very useful James

Thanks for input everyone - much appreciated

I am assuming that you are using Cpanel on the host for the site. Just add the second domain as an addon domain. Because of the way that things are set up in Cpanel and the way it handles redirects, the crawlers will not realize the local directory structure that one site is sitting in the sub folder of another site. They will be viewed as if they are two different sites on different servers. So you would handle the robtos.txt like they were on two different servers and just disregard anything about one being in the sub folder of another.

Yea I figured you are not staffed on the weekend. I immediately responded to her email but didn't get a response.  Just sent an additional email this morning with photos. Just trying to figure this out. Been having issues with various aspects the last 3 months.  If its something we are doing wrong I just want to know what it is so we can fix it.  I feel like its calling for the data and not getting it.  It just spins and spins and sometimes does the Paper Airplane thing.

Matt Cutts has a November 2013 video that provides greater clarity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHG6BkmzDEM#t=58

Thanks for the responses everyone! I will look away and stay focused on helping my clients.

No I do not need to type in /default.asp on the end to bring up the homepage.  So having this setting enabled would cause SEO problems correct? Right now we have versions of our hompage as follows: www.domain.com http://www.domain.com resoves to www.domain.com http://domain.com resolves to http://www.domain.com/Default.asp If you click on the home button on our site you get www.domain.com/default.asp

Just a very quick look for my penny's worth: The 'Read More' links on this page http://www.zulu.org.za/archive are then being 301 redirected rather than then new URL being used on the 'Read More' also some of the archive pages do not appear have any copy in such as http://www.zulu.org.za/index.php?view_page+180295 The sitemap link in the page footer 404's The contact us in the page footer (http://www.zulu.org.za/contact-us) is redirected to http://www.zulu.org.za/archive/contact-us-F30503

I am happy you found it useful  did it answer your question? is there anything else I can be of help with? Sincerely, Thomas

Well, the H1 is 'normally' towards the top of the page, but as there is an image towards the top, there is no reason why not. Just try and keep to H1 then H2, etc., and keep it ordered. That said, its not as much of an issue these days as it once was - Google has bigger factors that help with ranking. -Andy

For Google its "page not found" because you are declaring on the http header as a 404 page. But for user if waits for 10 secs will get redirected to the home page. But do you really think any user will stay on the page with no content for 10 seconds? I suggest you reduce the redirection time. Hope this helps.

It will if its a too old article say like 1 yr old. But it also depends on the article. some articles are ever green and even its old it is still valuable.

Hi, Pages blocked by robots.txt file will not be considered for ranking. You still see those pages in Google's index is because of their mentions on other websites. Google has been doing link discovery from websites other than these Web2.0 sites of yours. So to stop Google completely from indexing these pages, you should go in for page-levelrobots meta tag. Here you go for more: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en Once you implement the page-level robots meta tag to block those pages, Google will remove them from the index after the next crawl. You can expedite this process by using the link removal procedure in webmaster tools account.
