Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You are right about the additional accounting task.  We mainly didn't like the delays between the transaction occurring and approvals.  And, some transactions were approved and then, the next day, after the package was 1/2 way to the customer, we were told not to ship. You are also right about customers wanting PayPal.  The ones using a mobile device especially like it because they don't have to type in credit card and address details.

Hi Cedric, You're right to be concerned about duplicate content. I recommend that you take a few more steps to be completely sure that your site has a chance of performing well and being indexed and not penalized. You should write a unique title, the titles are much too similar You should write a unique introduction before quoting the article and additional unique content after the quote 300 words is too much for a quote from another article -- consider doing 150-200 Consider using just 1 image instead of 4 Because you are only partially copying the article and linking to the original source there is very little chance that you will be penalized. However, your copied article will not be considered valuable because it doesn't have any original content. Just a few tweaks and a little original content should help and give you a chance to be indexed/ranked. Best of luck with your site and keep up the great articles.

There have been several high profile law suits over theft of web content http://theartnewspaper.com/news/instagram-model-and-makeup-artist-sues-richard-prince-over-copyright-infringement/

For one link, I would not worry a bit about it. You are allowed to link out to other sites as long is the linking is not paid or manipulative.  If you have any fears at all use nofollow. If you are not using nofollow, start worrying if you have a lot of links.  Get really scared if you have a bunch of sites with a rats nest of links.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is still open issue, also happy Christmas (saw the post date) you may find the following helpful: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6349986?hl=en or https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals you can also use a tag to avoid Google caching the site - <meta< span="">name="robots"content="noarchive"> Hope some of that helps.</meta<>

Hey, You don't need to delete any thing. Just go SC and use as default. If you already used canonical tag, you don't need to worry for the same. Thanks Rajesh

Thanks Adam!

Standard operating procedure for us is to nofollow anything we noindex. Theory is that pagerank will still flow through a link to another page that has been noindexed if you don't nofollow it. But since it has been noindexed the PR will just be trapped there and can't move on to another page through any links on that page. I don't know how true that theory is, but erring on the side of caution has never cost me a dime, and nofollowing links to a page that is noindexed won't have a negative impact.

You should not have too. However if you are concerned this has not been picked up then go right ahead - it won't hurt matters. The reason I mentioned the sitemap in the last post is if your sitemap has the updated URL included, you're already submitting the index request that way, no need to manually do it again. You can also search using site: and see if the page has been indexed/updated with the new URL yet.

Unless your language pages are localized only for specific countries, I think you should simply use the language codes (en, es and tr) in your Hreflang markup instead of language+country (en-US, es-ES). x-default is not required.

I would check the site for malware most of the time people hack sites and leave much more than just spun content. You can check it out by using https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ To keep this from happening in the future, I have provided security information URLs at the bottom of the reply. What security measures have you taken to determine that there is no malicious code causing this? What security measures have you taken to determine that there is no malicious code causing this? ** What do your backlinks look like ( I know they sent external links from your site out with the spam content I'm talking about links going to your site) did they link to you as well?** Regarding speaking to Google, there are methods of letting them know you don't want to show certain content on specific URLs as well as telling them that content is outdated. Unfortunately, there is not a  one click fix for what you're dealing with. You can remove the URLs from Google as long as they're not being used for something helpful now by going to the first URL below. The URLS below will help you with the spamming external links https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en You can also communicate to Google that this content outdated through this method. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6349986?hl=en My best advice to you is doing a complete SEO audit as well as a security audit and prevent this stuff from happening in the future. Use tools like Moz, DeepCawl, Screaming Frog SEO Spider, SEMrush etc. To keep tabs on all the fundamentals on your site. Keeping this from happening in the future if you want your site checked for malware every four hours and to have it removed you can add https://sucuri.net/website-antivirus/signup https://www.armor.com/security-solutions/armor-anywhere/ ** for blocking malware and keeping this from happening in the future** https://www.incapsula.com/ https://www.armor.com/security-solutions/armor-anywhere/ https://www.stackpath.com/web-application-firewall/ https://sucuri.net/website-firewall/ This will help prevent attacks like this from occurring by whitelisting IP addresses or using double authentication across the board you will be able to minimize the chance this happening again. To understand exactly what the problem is I would need to know the domain name as well as a bit more information. I hope what I've given you is helpful. I would be happy to take a quick look at your site you feel comfortable posting your domain, please post it if you do not you can send it to me via private message. I hope this is of help, Thomas

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Our on-page grading tools such as Page Optimization and On-Page Grader should see keywords regardless of capitalization or not. If you're not seeing that as the case, please open up a support ticket with us by emailing help@moz.com or clicking the blue chat icon on the lower right of the product and be sure to tell us what the URL/Keyword combo is you're optimizing for and we'll be happy to investigate further for you! Thank you, -Kristina

Unfortunately not, due to issues with data integrity and seasonal variations in traffic. What I can say is that it did not have a catastrophic impact on our traffic. Google still indexed both versions of the webpages if it found them, and chose to display one or the other. Since we don't have a constant to compare it with, it's difficult to ascertain the exact impact it's having. I can say that the less competitive terms with lower traffic we're ranking for just fine, but we're on page five for the most competitive term (with the most volume) we're attempting to rank for, and both an http and https page are vying for position. That's in part the structure being an issue, and also in part the content on the page is thinner than I'd like it to be. If you run into this issue on specific pages, try adding a rel canonical tag to the page you want Google to rank. If you use this strategy only when you check your rank tracking tools to see which pages are in the SERP and having issues, you can cut down on the maintenance, and quickly determine whether or not it's the duplicate content that's preventing you from ranking or if you need to focus on other on-site or off-site signals.

Thank you for your help, I'll get the technical team to look at this.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. We are more interested in folders than different TLDs. In this case, how we gonna feed other pages of website to other language visitors? For french, they will land on example.com/fr/ and if they browse to other pages, should all other pages must have French? If so what's the way to present "French" content to them? Just an auto-translation? Or French written content? Any best example site you can refer?

Thanks for the response Davinia. We don't use the mentions methods to block crawlers.

Hi Jason, While I've not personally experienced this bug, I can imagine how frustrating it is! I think it's issues just like this one that have contributed to the popularity and rise of paid location data management services (like Moz Local, Whitespark, etc.). The days of spending hours banging one's head against a monitor over a single citation source are, fortunately, numbered, due to the emergence of these tools which resolve most (though not all) verification problems. I wish I had a solution for you. You'll likely just have to keep phoning customer service until you can get someone to understand how irritating this bug is. Or, if you've run out of patience with the issue, consider the alternatives to manual management.

As of 2013 Localeze is requiring everyone to pay the $297 to add/update their listing. Phil Rozek documented it. I'd recommend reading his post. http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/2013/04/17/rip-localeze-free-business-listings/
