Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jim, I'd suggest writing about each model. Not everyone can easily look at a floor plan and see what's neat about it. Is the house great for multiple generations because it has a mother-in-law apartment? Good for aging in place because there's a downstairs suite and accessibility features incorporate throughout? If this is for a builder, does the builder offer options such as turning that fourth bedroom into a library or home office? If there's a home office with a separate entrance for clients, point that out. Talk about how wonderful the kitchen is, etc.

No, we were using them for the proper indexing of our mobile pages. I've instructed our Dev team to continue using clean mobile URLs.  I imagine clean URLs would only increase the likelihood of better ranking since it's indexed sooner than the actual page source.  Especially with search engines working towards semantic search, it would be natural to assume URL structure would carry some weight. Thanks for your input, Kristina!

Hi, Two key factors are location and competition. If you are already ranking for your primary area, great.  If you are ranking for other locations as an outlier, even better.  Now to get the outliers to rank higher is tricky. Because of location and competition. If there are many other businesses in the area where you are an outlier, location is a much stronger metric then many others in this case. If competition was low your chances could be better. Here are some ideas: Go crazy and get all the local citations directories and creative means like citations in your relevent youtube videos and other assets. Basically create a stellar citation profile. See if this helps if not so much or not at all, that means location and competition are in the way here and are giving precedence to other businesses. If you are showing up on local results as an outlier, if you are showing up that means eye balls are looking, yes you may be lower than other businesses, but if you can get significantly more higher end reviews. This could set you apart and give you that conversion despite an outlier position. Try ranking for organic results for the city + industry you are going for, it might not be too competitive and this might be a better position than as an outlier Increase social signals to your website, and Google local page. Hope this helps!

Hello Patrick, NEVER reuse content from one site on other site and in your particular case take care about a few things. 1. NO content sharing between your sites. 2. REMOVE any link between them. 3. MOVE the penalized site to another IP very different to the your prosun.com. 4. Finally abandon the welproma.com if you can. Hope it helps Claudio

Hi Claudia, The first H1 one is for the blog and the second one is for the article. It seems to be right because if you go to the blog main page there are many H1. One for the blog page and then one for each article. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Armin

Hello, You should include your sitemap.xml on the root of the site, it should include all pages crawleable from the root. Also I recommend on your robots.txt file include the line: Sitemap: http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml This xml file is one of your most important files to rank well. Hope it help Claudio

Most ESPs (Email Service Providers) will be able to break down the information you input in your customer forms so you can create custom lists based on them. For example, if you want to just email people who live in California, if you have that information, it can segment based on that. Different providers will do different types of automation, depending how you set it up. Some popular providers include: MailChimp, Bronto, and Exact Target. Pricing is usually based on level of software (SMB or enterprise), if you want your own whitelisted IP (recommended), and how many you send per month or year. You can also use marketing automation software to send emails based on website triggers. To be transparent, I've never used software, but I know some popular providers are HubSpot, Bronto, and Marketo. Some companies build their own triggers and marketing automation and then will maybe use a smaller email provider just to send emails and ensure deliverability. (This is what we do at Moz for say q&a emails and our ranking reports, but we use a full ESP for marketing emails.) Hope this helps put you on the right direction!

You can run your landing pages URLs in adwords tools>keyword planner>Search for new keyword and ad group ideas>Your landing page. This approach will show you what google's crawler thinks are the terms on the page. This won't give you a quality score per se but it will let you know how google adwords sees the page. Even if there were a quality score tool it would only be as good as the creator and Google doesn't have a tool like that.

It's still not working on my end. I sent an email to moz with this thread included.

Let me know if it works Mike. There is actually a third possibility which is; Some page(s) might generate a dynamic URL only upon being visited by a browser/search agent. If that's the case, then you can set up an event tracking through your website in conjuction with Google Analytics and track teh refferer; _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Error', '404', 'page: ' + document.location.pathname + document.location.search + ' ref: ' + document.referrer ]); After you collect some data (Submit your website to Google WMT or wait for next MOZ visit) you can export and run your filter. The alternative to this method could be one of the 2 following; enabling extreme debug/log mode on your programming platform and collect logs for further processing. You can run a small Python script to find the RegEx pattern. I advise to setup a demo copycat of your website on a subdomain and then run this experiment. You can then submit the demo sub domain to Google Webmaster tools and wait for the crawlers. Reconfigure your webserver logging (httpd.conf if using Apache) to log more details. Make sure you turn back into to the normal data collecting configuration to avoid storage consumption. Good luck, Ali

Hi Blenny, Currently there is no way to associate/merge/split Moz accounts. Generally, a feature request like this ( since we don't support it currently ) should be sent through our Feature Request Forum ( http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests ). This allows us to see what folks want to see & how popular those features would be. You can submit ideas & vote for other features you'd like to see. Both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. My suggestion is to try and keep your community activity within your personal community account and work related activities ( campaigns, reporting, etc ) in the work account.  That way your reputation stays with you regardless of what happens with work accounts. I know this doesn't help with stuff you've already posted, but would be a good place to start. I hope you have a great day, ..jeff;

You may want to watch this Google hangout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NNf_AhA1gw&feature=share&t=42m25s (42:25).  The question is exactly what you are asking.  John Mueller says that if you are showing Googlebot your full content but users can only see it by logging in then that is cloaking and is against the Google guidelines.  If you show a snippet of your page to users and Google sees the same snippet then that's ok.  He said another possibility is to use "first link free" where you allow the user to see a limited amount of content and then put the rest behind a paywall or other type of a read gate. I'm also in agreement with Egol in the fact that putting content behind a read gate could really turn away users.  I hate it when I search for something and find what looks to be the perfect answer to my question only to find that it's behind a gate.  The result of this is that I immediately click away.  And, for sites that I know regularly have gated content, I won't click on them at all in the search results.  If this type of user behavior happens often then there's a good chance that it will be seen as a sign of low quality and the Panda algorithm will affect your site which could result in drastic drops in rankings across the board.

Hi Huey, What I would do is first look in Google to see if they're crawling and indexing all of your products. For example. search Google for this: site:www.domain.com/getproduct.aspx With that search you should see your products getting indexed. If not, then there is an issue. I don't recommend that you use any redirects at all, as Google can crawl and index URLs with parameters in them. That said, you should not be using a 302 redirect as it's only temporary one and Google will NOT change the URL, as they are doing now. If you used a 301 Permanent Redirect Google should then show the full URL. If at all possible, I recommend getting rid of the session IDs and cookies. If you must have them, then those session IDs should not be in the URLs. I would, though, get rid of them for the search engine crawlers at a minimum.

Quite likely!

Hi Brant, It's always a good thing to be aware of all of the links pointing to your website. I would look at the Webmaster Tools link data, but realize that it's not necessarily going to give you all the links. I would also look at Open Site Explorer, Majestic SEO, and ahrefs links, as well. If you find there are links that you think are low quality, I would use the Disavow Tool to disavow them. If there is a site that has copied your site, then consider filing a DMCA request with Google and the web host to get the content removed. You might look at your site's log files to see which IP addresses are hitting your site and getting the content and try to block it from happening.

Hi Denise, I would say you should treat a mobile user with the same content as a desktop one as they are there for the same reason- to access your site.  Having said this you might find having just essential content for a user and a link to desktop for some of the other pages. Obviously that's not helpful its down to preference. The way I would ask you to look at it is not from Google's point of view, but your users. What will give them the best experience? If you want to rank the mobile site i would alter more content to be mobile optimized.
