Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yeap, google should be crawling all your site naturaly. Remember that bots have a finite time to crawl your site. It might be that there not enogh time for all yout images. Even more, if you want to be stric with only high res images indexed, that's the main reason to use sitemaps. And yes again, use different sitemaps, ona for images and one for pages.

Hi Steve! In order to build local business listings, the business must: Have a physical location, even if its a home business. The address can be hidden on the listings on many directories, but the physical location must be real, and not be something like a P.O. Box or virtual office. Have unique phone number not shared by any other business. Make in-person contact with its customers (virtual companies are ineligible). Regarding multi-location businesses, each location should have its own phone number. The listing must be built around the physical location the business occupies, not around services/goods/packages it offers. So, for example, a supermarket cannot have one listing for vegetables and another listing for meat. Or, in your case, your office at 123 Main Street is eligible for a listing for the physical building, but it is not eligible for one listing for holidays in Tahiti and another for holidays in Sweden. So, just 1 listing per physical location. If you have 10 physical locations, each meeting face-to-face with customers and each having its own phone number, then you are eligible for 10 listings. Definitely recommend reading up on on the Google Guidelines to remove any grey areas here. Please, let us know if you have any further questions about this topic, as it's such an important one to get right.

Hi there Well, here is my thought: Let's say you had a domain old-domain.com with bunch of good backlinks; You got rebranded (or whatever) and got new domain new-domain.com; You did a 301 domain redirect from old domain to new domain (which is a well known good practice and recommended by everyone, since, as we know, 301 pass goodies along); Would it count now that you have a backlink (any benefit) from your old domain? I don't think so. Otherwise everyone would buy 10000 domains and did 301 redirects from them to their main domain, right? So, to me it seems that shorteners have the same logic. Hope it makes sense

Hi SEO-Bas! Just checking, is the issue resolved? I want to make sure you get the help you need, if not.

Hi, Andy. Thank you so much for the insights

Hi Mike, Ideally, yes, you'd just have the one URL. If you were setting up a site from scratch, I would tell you to avoid having the same content on those two different pages, because we don't want to create any duplication where it isn't strictly necessary. An example of when it is strictly necessary would be something like a ?sort_products parameter which changes the order products are displayed on a page. There's no way to do that without some duplication, so the canonical tag is useful. It's good practice to avoid having more versions of the page than you need because it reduces the number of ways things can go wrong. But as this structure is already in place and seems to be working OK -- only one version of the page is indexed -- I would leave it as it is. Messing around with the canonical now will likely do more harm than good. There aren't any definite negative effects for your SEO by leaving things as they are. As for your question about aggregation, I assume you mean in Google Analytics? No metrics will be aggregated there -- the two pages will appear as separate URLs in your reports. The aggregation that matters for indexation is link equity. When you get links to example.com/page, it will help the rankings of the example.com/category/page URL because that's the canonical version.

The best thing you can do is consider what would be useful for your visitors. If those keywords represent the sorts of things on which visitors to your site would expect to find information, then you should certainly include that information. You definitely don't want it to feel like you've written that content just to include your keywords, though. As for structure, put that content where it makes sense. If you're writing a page about your nursing expertise, then place it among your services offered, or as part of a section on your expertise. Does that make sense? Apologize that I can't be more specific than that. It depends a lot on your audience and how you want them to engage with your site. Also, I can't read Greek.

i have done that which have said but i cannot see keywords one by one lets say i use to filter πτυχιακες εργασιες the system automatically filters 3 keywords and having the option ranking i have the results you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/lGXuBOmVmwxg also see the keywords in the next capture it takes more than one ( i have selected only the one in the yellow ) http://screencast.com/t/cYT54wymmz

Hi there, I have been checking my site for a week, but I havent seen any new updates about my site in backlink. Im sure that since last week there are a few sites pointing a link to my website but I havent found it on Moz. Please explain it for me. Tks a lot,

Hi, How old is this site? Has it been given enough time to start to rank well amongst your competitors? One term / one page is the general thought that you should follow as this is the safest way to make sure you don't fall into keyword duplication / cannibalisation and makes for a much more straight forward strategy. Just remember to try and keep the pages as targeted as possible and add amazing content that is backed up by strong supplementary content. Make the page great for visitors and you will start to see returns. -Andy

I can't really help from a coding aspect I'm afraid, but I don't know that there is a way to do what you suggested there. However, If both benefits and side effects are equally important, can these not be displayed on the page where they don't feature in a tab? I would be trying to keep the page as straight forward as possible rather than trying to show tabs depending on search intent. -Andy

I think our news section is beginning to fall into the "is this too big to not run the risk of duplicate content with tags" category - so that makes sense to me. And that's great you saw the organic search traffic increase; my guess it that it lessens any "dilution" of targeting from having too many similar pages.

Hi there. I would say it's not the best way to do it like that. I'm not entirely sure how google would react to this. There are couple way to check it. Basically, google bots are very similar to any other bot, so, you can use, let's say, a facebook debugger, or check your MOZ tools, see what they say. If those tools are saying there are errors, then google most likely will say the same. Hope this helps.

Hi there. Yes, of course! When you go to pricing page - https://moz.com/products/pro/pricing make sure that you are on "Monthly" tab, not yearly. See screenshot attached. Hope this helps k7sLD

Okay, makes sense. I am changing it to www. Thanks!

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I'm so sorry that you're running into persistent 902 errors from your site crawl! Unfortunately, this is a technical limitation of our tools. We're in the process of building a bigger, badder, better crawler, but it isn't quite ready yet. You're certainly not the first person to write in about this issue, so I'll be sure to take your feedback to our product team! The ability to crawl larger pages is going to be more and more important as time moves forward. Thanks for writing in to let us know you were having issues! If you have follow-up questions or need any other help with the tools, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll get things sorted out for you.

Still the same for me. The expanded text ads are converting at half the rate of the regular.

HI James, Thank you for your kind response, Yes it seems to me the best and suitable way of doing in order to address this issue. Thank you

Emily, If you have it created and it has followers, then I would suggest keeping it active. Once you publish an article or content on your site, or external sites, then share it on your Google+ page. It only takes a few minutes to post to it, and you may see a few visitors coming in from this source. If the content is compelling this can help the SEO, if people see it, share it, link to it, click to additional pages on the site, etc. If posting to Google+ is taking up too much time, I would suggest reviewing your social media campaigns. Hope this is helpful. Chris Adficient.com
