  • Yes, when you link to a page that is not indexed from a page that is indexed it will help. The tricky part is getting the currently indexed page re-crawled so it picks up the link to the non indexed page. A good tactic for getting the page recrawled is RSS such as linking to a page from a new blog post. Or tweet the URL to the page.

  • Create a regular and mobile site map, then remove the redirect for the googlebot (authentication google bot that is not just the googlebot useragent as that is easily spoofed). As a side note, anyone looking for mobile device redirection, detectmobilebrowsers.mobi should only be used if you are a small business within the US or Europe only.  If you are a medium to large business and/or care about global visitors and covering all mobile device not just top of the range "smartphones" its simply not good enough and you should look into using WURFL or "DeviceAtlas".

  • I generally just use Xenu's hyperlink sleuth (if you thousands of pages) to listing out all the URLs you have got and I might then manually take a look at them, however, see the guitar in demand I have not come upon an automatic device yet. If all people are aware of any, I'd like to recognize as properly.

  • Ok. I had always wondered how the index,noindes affects to the canonical. And also if the canonical post should be included in the sitemap or not (I think that not according to your last whiteboard friday but again not sure). Per instance, I published the following post this morning checking what you said http://www.comparativadebancos.com/mejores-depositos-bancarios-de-marzo-de-2011/ and with a rel=canonical to this that was published at the beginning of the month http://www.comparativadebancos.com/depositos/marzo/ but then I have the first one in google http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=mejores+depositos+bancarios+marzo+2011 Currently I rank very well for the reviews, so dont know what will happen with the canonical. Thanks for your answers!

  • The guys above are pretty much right, but to try and explain: Domain authority, if you don't already know is really just an indicator of the total number of links and unique domains linking to your site (as opposed to just a single page). The more domains the better and works very similarly to PR. Here's a Whiteboard Friday on Domain Authority and Trust - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-domain-trust-authority - (about 7:45 fo DA) And here's the Whiteboard Friday on how that's used in the SEOmoz tools - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-domain-authority-page-authority-metrics - (part 2, round about the 8 minute mark, but worth watching it all). Now, your question about whether linking out to pages effects DA we need to think about how PR works (as it's kinda the same) and as shown in the first video it doesn't matter how you interlink at the page level, but more the domain level. So links coming into your domain, on any page, determine your DA (to simplify it). And as such linking to low PA pages shouldn't have any effect. Also linking out to other domains shouldn't effect your DA either and if I had to try and prove that I would probably turn to this YOUmoz piece from Hamlet batista - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/training-the-random-surfer-two-important-adjustments-to-the-early-pagerank-model - which is not as easy to digest, but if we assume DA works like PR then there's be little to no benefit in cutting those links out. If you are worried about how you link then you may get some advantage from is streamlining the pages by consolidating them. Have a read of this and see if it helps - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/link-consolidation-the-new-pagerank-sculpting Also, the best way to improve your site's DA is to build links from more domains wherever possible into these pages with low PA. I'm going to publish this and have a read in case I need to edit or have wandered off topic, but hopefully it's useful for you

  • The mozBar treats com.ua as a top level domain.  The confusion seems to be between the root domain google.com.ua and the subdomain www.google.com.ua.  For a more complete explination of root domains vs. subdomains, here's a helpful article:  http://www.seomoz.org/blog/understanding-root-domains-subdomains-vs-subfolders-microsites
