Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As billy said Copyscape is a great option but you can also take sections of the text put it in Google see what comes up. If you can't trust your copy writer they may not be for you then. You can always ask to see previous work when getting some one new and look to see if its also duplicated etc.

Hi, If you go into your crawl report and drill down to the 404 report you will see a column showing what page is linking to the missing page. Based on this you can remove the bad link and fix your 404 problem. Be sure to also verify the missing page is not still listed in any sitemaps you have. Hope it helps!

hmmm.... Thanks for your inputs...

Hi Mark, Is the link part of a navigation menu? If so I don't see any problem with leaving it as 'Home'. If you're linking within the body of a page (for instance in a blogpost), something like 'visit the homepage' or just a branded term should be fine.

Whether one should have a folder structure versus # tag implementation completely depends on the content, page design and user intent. #tag implementation is useful when the entire content needs to be rendered on the same page. The advantages - You dont have to wait for the new page to load You can have a single page that has all the content Disadvantages - You cannot create multiple pages which some believe is important from an SEO perspective i.e. having more pages in Google's index In case of dedicated pages, the advantages and disadvantages are reversed. Again I would suggest that instead of SEO, more focus is provided to user intent and design. Lastly in case of folder structure, please do not forget to add pagination tags as recommended by Google.

Hey Sean, Thanks for the question. Sorry for the late response. I looked at a handful of your campaigns and most of them did not have custom reports. The one that I saw that had a report looked good. Can you email into help@moz.com and include the specifics about which campaign is having this problem? Thanks! Joel.

Sounds like a great idea. I would, of course, put some unique static content on the page, as well, explaining what you do in Orlando, and then have a constantly refreshed section of lead-ins for your blog posts. I think that makes sense!

I appreciate your taking the time to answer this.  If it is helpful I found out that the Google carousel is most often populated from pictures on relevant Google + pages. Thanks again for your input!

great thanks that works for now till they fix this bug

I don't know about the courses, but here is profile info for the man - http://searchenginewatch.com/author/1785/bill-hunt

I would just use cross domain canonical and look into the other issues with your website that have triggered Panda.

Sorry, Juan Carlos, I'm still not clear on the differences between the 2 sections of the sites. You say "The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) ... but the website don't talk about that". Then you say: "The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site." If the blog isn't specifically about the same topics and targeted at the same web visitors as the html site, then it's not going to help get more sales and should be completely separate. It sounds to me like you're doing a general blog, but hope it will generate traffic for the specific sales site. This almost never works, as having a lot of off-topic content on the blog will confuse the search engines about what the sales site is about. It will also be attracting visitors that aren't interested in your site's products, which is a waste. My suggestion would be to have the blog completely separate, and then when you do write a post that actually is about something the html site sells, link to the page about that product. Alternatively, (and this would be far stronger for SEO of the sales site) leave the blog where it is and limit the blog topics mostly to things that relate directly to the products you are selling. Make sense? Paul

I would agree focus on one twitter account. The only reason you might want a second twitter account is from something like customer service. However very often you will find that this just leads to confusion and customers will mention your marketing twitter account rather than your customer service twitter account. As for the tone of the account that is something that you have to work out on your own. You tone on twitter should reflect your brand. But remember it is a social medium and so generally the tone is more conversational. Hope that this helps.

Can I ask why you chose to change the URLs? If everything else is still the same, I'd image that you should see your results come back. I'm sure you had a process in place for handling changing all of the internal links? I wonder about this since you have so many pages and now the URLs are different.

Hm, there are a lot of subtleties in here. First, if you have mysite.com/flowers and m.mysite.com/flowers with completely different content on them, Google is not going to think they're the same page. They'll rank differently based on their own merits, and Google will probably rank _bot__h _of them for desktop and mobile. Google wants to give searchers access to all content across the web, so if you have two pages with different information, it'll show them as two resources. Now, if you follow mobile best practices, you'll make m.mysite.com/flowers rel="canonical" to mysite.com/flowers, and rel="alternate" mysite.com/flowers to m.mysite.com/flowers. In that case, you're telling Google that mysite.com/flowers is the original source of information, and m.mysite.com/flowers is the same information presented differently. In that case, Google will only rank mysite.com/flowers for desktop searches and m.mysite.com/flowers for mobile searches. I'm not 100% sure how Google will handle the differing content in this case, but my guess is, it'll rank m.mysite.com/flowers as well as mysite.com/flowers would rank for the search, but it'll use the page title, URL, and meta description from m.mysite.com/flowers. Like Andy said, Search Engine Land has a great guide to mobile SEO. I also wrote a guide that's more broadly about building a good mobile site and not just about SEO: https://www.distilled.net/training/mobile-seo-guide/ What's your real question behind all this? Are you building a mobile site and planning on making it significantly different than your desktop site? In that case, I'd recommend that you don't. If you have a video about flowers and 10,000 words of text on it, but both on your /flowers page and allow desktop and mobile visitors to access both. Generally, you want your mobile site experience to be as close as possible to the experience of browsing your desktop site. Otherwise, it's just confusing.
