  • The biggest concern would be potentially losing some of the PageRank passed. However, in my experience, these kinds of internal redirects tend to go off without a hitch if well executed. 1. Make sure that you have a good understanding of all URLs that are to be redirected and that the redirect does occur correctly. 2. Watch analytics, GWT, and server logs like a hawk the first 48 hours after the redirect to make sure you aren't missing. 3. Consider doing Sitemap Assisted Redirects (Google it) to speed up the process

  • Since schema.org is the new standard and adopted by Bing, Google and Yahoo, it is the better option. It also has more detail in its schema.

  • My "opinion" is that the website was slightly affected by the Panda update, and than a week or two later it started to gain back it's rankings or traffic.  This has been the behavior of many large websites after the first Panda update and it's continous updates, you would see a drop in traffic than couple weeks later it will level back off to it's usual traffic numbers before the Panda update that caused a slight drop. I most likley might be wrong here, but I am just making an assumption from observations I have seen on other websites.  Also from my understanding, subdomains are not as powerful as they use to be and are not really favored as much from the new "Panda" update.  I believe the preferred site architecture now is using sub-folders. I apologize if any of my statements above are false, and if they are please correct me.

  • Open Site Explorer is its own crawler, and is separate from the Google index. OSE just may not have crawled that particular page yet.

  • I agree with EGOL, The specific page that link is directed to will acquire the most benefit or "linkjuice" value.  However your site will also get benefited as a whole which includes your root domain. Offcourse everyone's SEO strategy should focus on gaining a strong domain authority (strong root domain), and the best way this can be done is through deep inner links in your content pages.  Also good internal link structure to really pass the linkjuice from page to page.

  • Hashtags can be used for multiple purposes in URLs but the only one I have personal experience with is their tracking ability. Two examples of services which can track URLs via hashtags are TYNT and AddThis. You add a code snippet to your site in much the same way that you add Google Analytics. From that point forward, all of your URLs will have a unique hash tag added. Anytime someone copies and pastes your URL, it will contain a this tag. When a user clicks on the link, you can identify the specific source via TYNT or AddThis. The service is free and they offer nice reporting options. Tynt is more experienced in this area, but AddThis offers other social sharing tools (facebook, twitter, google+1, etc) as well. I used to use TYNT until AddThis added the feature, which is when I switched to AddThis.

  • is there a way to insert the title tag dynamically on each blog post via the cms? CMS is software, and every software package is different. I will share there should be a way to do it, but you would need to search your CMS provider's site to get the details. For your titles, I am not clear what you are asking. I would recommend the title tag for your blog matching your blog's title. You may want to add your site name or category name depending on the situation. For example if your site is "Chevyworld.com" and you have a blog entry titled "1982 Stingray, the end of an era" then the post title could be: 1982 Stingray, the end of an era 1982 Stingray, the end of an era | Chevyworld 1982 Stingray, the end of an era | Corvettes | Chevyworld In the first example, your CMS would be adjusted to use the blog title for the title tag. In the second, the blog title plus your site name would be used for the title tag. The last example uses the blog title, the blog's main category tag and the site title. Will google treat each entry as a unique page? You need to ensure each page can only be accessed by one URL. For example, take a look at the following blog article's URL: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html Now try to access that same article with various other URLs such as without the www or with adding a trailing slash character: http://huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/rachel-weisz-daniel-craig-married_n_884653.html/ Notice that when you try to remove the "www' the same article appears but the site's redirect works and adjusts the URL by adding the "www'. Does your blog article redirect itself in this manner? Or does it display for both the www and non-www url? Another example is the trailing slash. In this case the URL is adjusted and a question mark is added. If you View Page Source you will see there is a canonical meta tag which ensures the correct version of the page is consistently used by search engines.
