Going from 302 redirect to 301 redirect weeks after changing URL structure
I would proceed with changing 302 redirects to 301 redirects. A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect that passes 0% of link juice (ranking power). If you change to 301 you'll start passing link juice again, and may see a recovery in ranking in time. Here's some more info on redirects as it relates to SEO: https://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Best of Web Perk Info?
Hi Ruben, To be honest, our Perks program is suspended. We're no longer accepting new ones, and we're only willing to update the ones we have. I'm afraid that, as we don't currently have a Perk from BotW, this is really more a question for them. I'm so sorry I can't be of more help!

Site-wide Canonical Rewrite Rule for Multiple Currency URL Parameters?
Added to note - you can also use GDC to inform Google which URL parameters should be ignored when indexing - can be a quick shortcut initially, but you'll definitely want to get rel-canonical properly implemented for Google as well as all the other search engines.

Having two GMB listings at same address
Hey There! Blue Corona has provided a good answer. I just want to confirm here that you definitely do not want a second listing for an e-commerce business. That's not considered to be a local business. Regarding store codes, Google says: "In Google My Business Locations, you submit a unique identifier for each store, called a store code. You must know these store codes to create a local feed in a later step." I am not aware of any other use of store codes beyond this.

Help: buy domain from Tradenames.com?
Hi Silvia, I don't personally have experience with Tradenames.com but from what I've read in a few forums (upon searching "tradenames.com reviews" into Google) I see that people have mixed reviews about them. According to ScamAdvisor.com the website is 86% safe so if this something you think your client would like to invest in, it should be ok. But I would read through a few forums (i.e. the ones that Thomas provided below) and learn about the different experiences people have had working with them in the past. That is going to be the best way for you to determine if they have a good or bad reputation online. Hope this helped!

Google Analytics Social Settings
It supports to see time and time again is that someone has added some of social profile page URLs. What happens here is that whatever sites you listed are the ONLY sites that will be shown. So if you added your Facebook page, YouTube Channel page and Twitter page then only links to those pages will show up. You must make sure that if you add any URLs to this section in GA, you also include your domain and any sub-domains you may want tracked as well.

Why is the Page Authority for posts in my blog so low
Hello there, Remember that PA and DA depend on link metrics. So, if there is no link pointing to the page you are studying, there will be no metrics. Search this topic URL in OSE and will see that it has no backlink. There you have the reason why it has PA=1. Age is not the only factor. Hope it helps. GR PS: As a general rule, it is advisable to do not rely in only one metric (or one platform metrics), try to compare and correlate with other platforms and metrics.

Toxic URL???
Agreed with above. You are probably still flagged by Penguin and it will be very hard to get your backlink profile back in order. You can also try a double 301 redirect (301 redirect to a intermediary domain, then 301 redirect again to the new domain) in order to avoid passing the penalty while keeping your old domain.

The images on site are not found/indexed, it's been recommended we change their presentation to Google Bot - could this create a cloaking issue?

Organization name as text vs. as a picture with alt text + Schema.org markup
Well, thank you so much, I appreciate it. No need to apologize about WordPress man everybody has their own thing. Be pretty boring if everyone had the same tastes. I think I added this reference twice but not intentionally, however, it's fantastic for schema. I also threw in a copy of one of my favorites the perfect website launch https://builtvisible.com/the-future-of-seo-structured-markup/ https://pantheon.io/sites/default/files/perfect-website-launch-pantheon-ebook_0.pdf I do believe there are huge positives to sites without databases or decouple WordPress installs are getting exciting. I thought you might want to check it out as it is a best of both worlds use any code including and HTML and the CMS is utilized as the backend only. Decoupling the perfect blend of CMS and pretty much your choice of languages. https://pantheon.io/blog/decoupled-architecture-wordpress-and-drupal https://pantheon.io/wordpress/wordpress-enterprise-six-reasons-why All the best, Tom
