Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the response! I already have the rel=next and prev added to the page but I'm still getting Duplicate Page Title errors in my dashboard for all of my subpages (such as http://thelemonbowl.com/breakfast/page/2). Should I be setting a 'noindex' to my subpages to prevent this from happening? Thanks again!

Wow, thank god!

Yes, I was checking other sites (not ours) and it seems to be across the board DA dropped.

Thanks!

Thanks Bridget. I think the question eventually is this: If there is a mobile page with hidden content (e.g., collapsed) - and assuming it's hidden in a way that is viewable to Google crawler - does that content get lower importance in ranking even though it is not hidden in desktop? Example: Desktop version of the page has "Keyword1" visibly displayed. Mobile version of same page has "Keyword1" hidden in a collapsed view. Will the mobile version be better ranked for "Keyword1" if it will not be hidden? Even though it's not hidden in the desktop version? If it's hidden in both versions then my assumption is that the answer is yes based on this statement from Google's John Mueller (November 2014): "From our point of view, it's always a tricky problem when we send a user to a page where we know this content is actually hidden. Because the user will see perhaps the content in the snippet, they'll click through the page, and say, well, I don't see where this information is on this page. I feel kind of almost misled to click on this to actually get in there." https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hidden-tab-content-seo-19489.html But I'm not sure if that's still true when it's hidden only for mobile. Appreciate everyone's thoughts on this.

Are the video's on a secondary site i.e. YouTube? If so what you suggested about writing new descriptions for te videos would help, ensuring that the videos have their individual own pages unless they're all about the same subject. Also this way you can use H1 and TITLE tags too! Regards Dave

Oh yeah, right! That's funny, I wonder how that happened. I had a quick peak in Yoast and the various post types and pages were set to no-index. You're a star, thanks a million. Let's see what happens...

1 and/or 3. not 2. if there is a lot of volume and its competitive keywords, #3 would help you build sites that are more focused on specific topics (which are ranking well now). Note that this is harder to manage/maintain and will have a larger investment in marketing than option 1. I also think you should have 1 "corporate/umbrella" website that does what your option 1 says which links to your option 3 sites. Hopefully you can have both sites ranking for your terms.

Thanks Oleg amazing info!

I have not use adwords for promoting content. Have you tried Outbrain or Taboola?

Check to see if they are both in the index (or 1 is in supplemental index). If so, it's an issue. In general, capitalization does mean a different url (think of all of the link shorteners that user a mix or upper and lower case letters in order to differentiate)

Personally, I'd say your best bet is to build relevant, high-quality links to that page. That'll be a stronger signal than simply focusing on on-page keyword usage, anyway.

Yeah you'll have to wait way longer if it's a small site. Probably Google is not visiting your site too often so it will take time before they redirect all new pages to the new one.

Thank you, that was useful - I can check noindex/nofollow pages like this with Moz, and images without ALT tags using Screaming Frog. However, the Crawl Test Tool Report doesn't tell me which images don't have ALT tags, neither which pages have images without ALT tags. Is it possible to check this with Moz? Regards,

Hi again! I'm so sorry you're running into more Open Site Explorer issues! The tool is having a bit of difficulty today and its performance is degraded. The team is currently investigating the issue and hopes to have it resolved as soon as possible! In the meantime, you can check for updates on our Health Page, here: http://health.moz.com/ I'm really sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully we'll have OSE back up and running soon.

It's absolutely still beneficial! And if it's high quality content, there's a good chance it's been building up even more authority over the course of those years. It would probably be a good idea to make sure the content gets marked "updated" or "new," though. No sense in just slipping the link in there and walking away.
