Does too much inline CSS impact SEO rankings
If you have lots of inline css, but would like to implement a site wide style change - e.g. changing text size, or your updating your brands colours - any inline css could stop this from taking affect fully and instead of a quick change to a single line of css in a stylesheet, you could potentially have to update hundreds of files wasting time and effort that could be spent elsewhere.

Alot of 302 Redirects, what to do?
Hey guys thanks for the reply back to go more in-depth about my problem. We have a lot of 302 redirects on pages from discontinued products. We're getting ding by Google because of duplicate content or broken pages. My theory is applying a no index on our robot.txt files to stop Google crawls to go on those pages. Would Google still crawl on the links embedded on that no index section? Or would Google's crawls completely ignore that part and don't follow any links?

Changing domain and transferring SEO power to new.
Hello! Interesting question. I'd like to probe a little, but let's tackle the easy stuff first... You can use a canonical URL tag in the header of each of your pages to reference which version you'd like Google to consider the 'correct' version of a page. For example, on www.domain1.com/page/, you can set a canonical URL tag of www.domain2.com/page/. This acts as a 'strong hint' to Google that you consider these pages to be equivalent, and that you'd like the www.domain2.com version to inherit all of the signals from the www.domain1.com example. This isn't a perfect solution, mind you. If you still have lots of links (internal or external), equity, coverage or other forms of attention pointing at the www.domain1.com example, this page might still have some of the authority and signals. You're essentially asking Google nicely to move the value, and hoping that they agree that that's OK / the right decision. From a technical perspective, I'm assuming that your setup will involve serving a single site from both domains, and in which case, the content/tech/templates/URLs are the same, apart from the domain. Assuming that this is the case, you need to make sure that every page is a one-to-one, like-for-like match. You shouldn't point everything at the homepage, for example, and you should also make sure that things like category pages, listings, and other templated or procedurally generated pages also use canonical tagging. If your tech setup is more complex than this, you'll need to do some thinking on how you 'map' canonical tags between the various versions of your pages and content - something which might require some planning and further investigation. As an additional consideration, there's no guarantee that the www.domain1.com won't show up in search results if people search for it directly, or if that version of the page has disproportionately high amounts of authority (as I outlined above). And whilst you could use meta robots noindex tags on the www.domain1.com pages _and _canonical tags, there are mixed schools of thoughts on whether this is safe - it may be that Google interprets this as an instruction to inherit the noindex attribute on the www.domain2.com example. As for your particular scenario, I'd be interested in understanding why you want to maintain the original/current version of the website 'for users'. If I can understand a bit more about the business requirements and what success looks like, it may be that I can refine your options a bit. I note that some of the other answers have referenced domain forwarding/masking, and 301 redirects. I'd be hesitant to do anything with either, without a better understanding of your setup. Conditional and user-based 301 redirects can be risky if not implemented very carefully (and don't solve for your canonical / equity challenge), and domain forwarding is rarely an SEO-friendly solution (you're just making your website available from more/other domains). Hopefully this is helpful; it'd be great to dig deeper.

Title & Keywords
I understand why this is probably a difficult situation, but I would probably look into your Search Console terms to see what people are typing the most. Being from the UK like yourself I would probably type in Henry Vacuum despite the brand actually being Numatic. As growing up I was always told it was simply a Henry vacuum or Henry Hoover, however working in industry, people may refer to them as Numatic etc. Your search console will probably provide the best idea as to what to target, but as it stands I'd still hope to rank somewhere with what you already have. As a suggestion maybe try a few titles based on Item - Category - Brand Henry Xtra Vacuum Cleaner - Numatic Vacuums - [websiteName] And then repeat your title experiments after a while to see what works best.

URL Indexing with Keyword
Let me understand your question. Your website is indexed but when you check on the search engine your website won't appear on the search result, right? So here is my advice first you need to check your search console. Search Console > Search Analytics > Download the report, then you will have a clear idea of your keywords ranked, anchor text, position, CTR and so on. Organize your keywords by themes and then start to optimize your site with those themes/keywords.

Fred Update & Ecommerce
I don't know of any further updates about Fred other than what is here: https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change However, over the last week (Mid May) there has been a lot of noise and fluctuation according to many sources. Let us know if there is anything we can learn by what you find out. Happy to discuss further if you share some details, but it would not be uncommon for Google to decide to push thin eCommerce pages down.
