Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think you need to get more clear concept about nofollow. Most of the time people think about passing link juice. ask youself; are all those links important for your visitors and all those pages linked from left bar important too, if so then why nofollow. You are giving your visitor the right thing.  Having said that you need to rethink about links too sometimes we think having many links on one page will benefit visitors, in reality its wrong. you need to design your site navigation in such a way where ppl can easy go from one page to another page. Usability is key too. Group your links, pages and content and design everything from customer prespective. Google love sites, which are develop for customers. Anyways nofollow is not and never been a solution, inshort most of the people have wrong concepts about nofollow. Hope this will make some sense to you. Regards

Google sees the addition of a trademark symbol in a meta title tag as a separate keyword; I've never heard anything about how Google see's its use in content. I'd avoid doing this in cases where SEO is more important than usability (or legality). Hope this helps Mike

Awesome! That did the trick -- thanks for your help. The site is no longer listed

I think the PA (of the 'old' 301'd page) in this case will be more important than the DA. High PA on the 301'd page would 'likely' (and I say that with much trepidation) result in a quicker de-indexing. Andy

I have replied to you inbox message.

Hey all! So, we recently released a fix for our tools that solves this issue of counting those site links towards the top 10. If you do see this happening in your rankings in SEOmoz, though, feel free to email us at help@seomoz.org any time. Thanks again for the heads up Jamie!

Hey Wayne, thank you for the timely and detailed answer to my question! We have pondered the actual effects of reducing homepage links and this clears a lot up! Also, thanks for the link, it has a ton of relevant information. I will bring this up at my next team meeting!

One thing in addition to Ryan's answer, rather than implementing language meta tags, you can set the content-language in your HTTP headers, according to Bing: http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/archive/2011/03/01/how-to-tell-bing-your-website-s-country-and-language.aspx. I'm not sure if that's supported beyond Bing though.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

Just change the keyword at the end of this URL: wordpress.com/tag/cakes/ You'll also see related tags to the right.

I've been able to add Google Analytics tracking code to Facebook and Tweet buttons. The only one I haven't is Google Plus but activity on that can be monitored in Webmaster Tools.

So does content in Javascript and collapsible considered hiding from Google? No, that is fine. Cloaking is specifically showing different content to Google then you would to other users. Honest presentations of "read more" or not openly displaying content until a trigger button is pressed would be fine. Deceptively hiding content behind a button that would normally not be discovered or pressed would be an issue.

Hi Guys...sorry, one more question here. About the recovery of rankings for canonicalized page after removing canonical tag, the theories seem very true but are there any case studies or direct experiences which proves these theories?

As far as both duplicate content issues and dynamic parameters, you may want to look into using the rel="canonical" tag instead of the noindex tag.
