Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Onitamara! Good discussion going on here. I'll add a few big picture thoughts: How much content (whether in the form of pages or posts) the therapist will want to build should be determined by 3 things: How much she enjoys sharing what she knows and how much time she has to devote to writing How helpful this will be to the public both in terms of informing them, and transforming them into clients How competitive her market is If she likes to write, this is a good start, and if she is a good writer, it's an even better one. And, of course, she needs to have the time. The true usefulness of the content will determine how much it impacts both the lives of the readers and the financial bottom line of the therapist. The true usefulness will also gradually impact Google's perception of the website as an authoritative source on its topics. The happy medium being aimed for is to publish enough content to attain the bookings and rankings the therapist ideally desires, but not going overboard beyond that. So, for example, if the therapist is located in a small, rural area, she may discover that writing two blog posts a month is all it takes for her to become competitively ranked and to have a full patient roster. But, if her practice is in a metropolis, the effort she'll need to put into being ranked and booked is likely to be much, much greater. Because of this, it's smart to assess the competitive landscape the therapist is entering, and to implement as much tracking as possible to help determine how much content (pages or posts) is needed to meet goals, and how that content is assisting in those goals being met. Finally, as Ed is mentioning, it's important that your most important pages are the easiest to find, by means of your internal linking structure. In other words, the therapist's page on "Couples Therapy" will likely be one you're internally linking to more prominently than a single article she wrote about "How to Apologize Sincerely" or something like that. In the long run, though, the decision to create a blog or a library of static articles should be based on the therapist's desire to share, the need to use content as a vehicle for client education and conversion, and the unique competitive landscape in which the practice is operating.

Hi, This is a common thing that you see on bigger sites, either product names or company names are the same and at scale that creates near duplicate titles or pages. What I would recommend is adding additional data, about either the location, pay, position type (fulltime,parttime,etc) to the title. Martijn.

Hi there Joel! This is not currently on the roadmap, however I have passed along your feedback to our development team so that we can consider this when we are reviewing future changes and implementations to the tools. Let us know if we can help with anything else!

Thank you for sharing the GoDaddy response with the Moz community Andrew. How many (and which) pages/links is this affecting? Once I know that I should be able to help a little more with prioritization. If this is the way your navigation menu works, for example, then it's a 10. If it's just happening on one page that doesn't have a lot of external backlinks it's a 1. Google says they follow redirects at least five levels deep and that they treat 302s and 301s the same. In my humble opinion after seeing numerous examples otherwise, this is B.S. It can depend on the response times, how the redirects are implemented, how much trust Google has in your site, and many other things. Long story short, fix it if you can, but I doubt it's going to require switching hosts.

Merging two healthy sites with substantial traffic is a decision that requires a lot of analysis.  In my opinion, "How to do it?" is a less important question than "If I should do it?".  It can often be much more profitable to have two sites in the SERPs than one site in the SERPs.  Each of these sites can be pulling in the sales, they can operate on different value propositions and their competition with one another can displace competitors.   It might be hard on the egos of company directors to buy a competitor and then "run their site"... but that can be the more profitable decision. The "How to merge them?" and "If to merge them?" analysis  should consider many things... --  traffic overlap --  product overlap --  backlink overlap --  content overlap --  keyword overlap It could be possible to merge two sites with 100% overlap of the above and make very little gain in the resulting site  --  yet loose all of the benefit of the site that was merged.  So be careful here.  Do deep analysis.  Map out the opportunity of gain before blindly redirecting.  Don't squander one site thinking that the merger is going to be a bonanza. Also keep in mind that DA is more logarithmic than linear.  You might merge a DA 60 site with a DA 50 site and that will only move your DA 60 up to a DA 61 or 62.   No kidding.

Also, some more information I can gather from your question: that noscript is telling non-js users/bots to meta refresh to an error page Google shouldn't be confused by that, but Screaming Frog would (and potentially other search engines) it is probably also not the best experience for non-js users: You can display an error messages without redirecting to another URL. Hope that's helpful...

Your question is quite convoluted, so I hope to answer it correctly :-). My first thought when reading your question was: "Why do they want to associate two so different set of products?". I mean, I fully understand that you are moved by SEO consideration, but - honestly - SEO should not enslave business considerations and logic. Widget and Gears are two totally different kinds of products and, especially, they have very different kind of buyer personas. In other words: the buyer personas targeted by the widgets website not necessarily are interested in gears. Plus, also on an entity level, there's no connection between widgets and gears, hence also for Google would be hard to start understanding for what entity set is relevant the website if it is not presenting itself as a broader ecommerce store. So, strategically, I would not start with SEO (bear with me...) as the main channel for the new gear website, but on branding, creating a dedicated website in a dedicated unique domain name. Hence, I'd create campaigns to support the launching of the new website and line of products, so to create a solid backlink profile from the start, which will obviously help in rankings. Said that, I would take advantage of the visibility of the Widget website for announcing the new Gear one (I suppose the widget site has a news section and an About Us section, under which you can create a landing page explaining what other "companies/websites" are part of the "Businesses company owning the Widget website".

Thanks very much. We decided not to move forward with this. Your advice was helpful.

Hey! Thanks for reaching out to us! Would you be able to send an email to help@moz.com specifying the name of the Campaign experiencing this issue and we will be more than happy to take a look. Looking forward to hearing from you, Eli

Yes, and make sure to do a self-referencing canonical to the generic page as well.

Is there some reason they only want to target the US and UK and not Australia or Canada for instance? If it is alright with them, I would just have one site. Targeted at western-type English speaking travelers. If you can't produce a different site for the US AND the UK separately, then just create one. Unless there is another reason it is just the US and UK. Please share if so!

Looks like everything has now updated! - Sorry for the delay!

Hi there As you are in Wordpress, you could use YOAST plugin. There is a setting that allows you to deindex and/or set next/prev tags. Here some more info: rel=next & rel=prev in pagination - YOAST Pagination and SEO best practices - YOAST Wordpress SEO  complete guide tutorial - YOAST Indicate paginated content - Google Search Console Help Hope it helps. Best luck. GR.

Hello You have nearly 20 instances of these keywords in the pages. There is a possibility this will be viewed as keyword stuffing. The word count is not high enough to warrant this frequency of keyword. You may be suffering an algorithmic penalty.

Yeap, URLs that are now 301 redirected will eventually be removed from google and stop being showed. Keep in mind that what Moz shows in their reports does not exactly reflects what is in Google. Hope it helps. Best Luck. GR.

Sounds like youve got a good plan. You might consider meta noindex on these pages until you have your new content.

That's the challenge, With Yelp we have a decentralized strategy that we were looking to organize. Yelp would benefit so much if they had an option to create brand accounts with its locations attached, It's so much cleaner and can help brands with consistency. I wish sites were more like Google My Business LOL

First of all - don't stress out! You won't be penalized for broken links. Google penalizes for shady behavior, not honest mistakes. Like Andrew said, make sure that you aren't linking to any of the pages you removed from your site, and that you've removed them from your XML sitemap. Then you should be good! Good luck, Kristina
