  • Hi there. Your link doesn't work. Anyway. Youtube video are embedded iframes, and as we know, iframes are considered pretty much as a part of another website, inserted into your website's page. I assume that price thingy is the same. So, no matter if you lazy load it or not, iframe will not be considered as a part of YOUR content, especially not as unique content for sure. So, make sure that you have plenty of another content on those pages - text, images, whatever. Otherwise even from the user experience perspective it would be not the best page to be on. Hope this helps.

  • Hi Vahid, Google goes to great lengths these days to understand what your website is about. It comes from a combination of elements, some of which include: Page titles Headings Content (keywords, relevant phrases and related topics etc) The relevance of backlinks and anchor text pointing to the site Relevance of image alt text By considering each of these and likely quite a few more, search engines can put together quite an accurate picture of exactly what it is that you do and how relevant you are to both the larger terms and the more obscure long tail stuff. To give you an example what I'm talking about, think about a care hire company here in Brisbane. If the page title and H1 for the home page are talking about car hire in Brisbane, the content covers things like car hire, rentals, vehicle information, location info for their various stores in suburbs etc and they've got backlinks from car and tourism websites, it's quite obvious that this website is all about car hire in Brisbane. Alternatively, if that same website had no real connection between each of these onsite elements and backlinks from all over the place, they're not going to seem nearly as strong or relevant for their specific terms. I suppose the short answer to your question is to provide users with good, relevant content, build relevant backlinks that will actually earn referral traffic and Google will work out your "category" from that.

  • Hello! Small sites generally won't stay in our index if we don't find NEW links to a domain. Our cache will remove a link after 190 days unless re-crawled. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=moz.com&filter=&source=&target=page&page=1&sort=crawled I recommend checking Just Discovered to see if your domain is in queue for re-indexing from new discovered links. If not, you will want to keep link building on sites that have high authority and are likely able to be picked up.. There are some insight provided here that will help: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores Cheers!

  • Hi there! Thanks for posting in Q&A. It looks like you've gotten some solid tips! That said, we really try to discourage posts that can be construed as job listings on this forum. If you're looking to post still, the Inbound.org job board is a great place. I'm going to lock this thread to further responses. Thanks for understanding, and good luck on the search!

  • Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply, yes that's exactly what I was thinking I've ended up with regimental descriptions and keywords across all collection pages in the hope of just increasing search based on the keywords. The website was up and running for some time before I started to try and tidy it up and optimise the pages. My worry was affecting the keywords I was already ranking for (that particular page ranks quite high for some more specific keywords associated with 'antique door handles') which is sort of why I ended up with lists of keywords. I'm going to have to do some research, writing content is not my strong point, would you have any suggestions on where to start with some research? I've been working on some quality links but not easy, the 2 relevant ones I had dropped off. All those images of the handles are associated to other listings I have. I had briefly looked at the product schema but looked a bit complicated for me but I'm going to have a relook. Thanks again for taking the time to respond, its appreciated. Paul. N

  • When you launched the new version of the site, did you set up the 301 Permanent Redirects so that all of the old pages are mapped/redirected to the most appropriate page on the new version of the site? It sounds so me like you might not have set up the 301 redirects properly. One thing you can do, though, is look at your Google Search Console crawl errors and pay attention to the most important ones--and fix those first.

  • Thanks for the nudge Matt, We're in the process of working on the redirects now...and checking GA results based on Matt-Williamson's feedback. ~Caro

  • Donald, you are exactly right.  If you optimize for Google you automatically get at least some benefit on other search engines. Imagine if another search engine gave explicit instructions for optimizaiton.  How much would they differ  from what you already do for Google.  Probably not much, is my guess. Yesterday one of my sites received 187 visits from duckduckgo.com.  That was about 0.2% of my traffic.  I didn't do a thing to get that traffic.  It fell from the sky.

  • When you're setting up a URL structure, we recommend setting up the URLs (folders/directories, etc.) so that it matches the hierarchy of the site. In the example you gave: www.domain.com/Christmas/Decor you would typically have a Christmas section of your site and then a Decor section. But, if you have a Decor section (some that is not Christmas decor but maybe includes other types of decor), then the decor section as listed above wouldn't fit in properly. It could be like this: www.domain.com/Decor/Christmas-Decor/ and then you could actually also have a Christmas section, as well. It's possible that your Christmas products might list all of your Christmas products and the Christmas/decor/ section would then include the Christmas decor section. Look at what sections of your site that you've created--and then the URLs should closely match those sections and that site hierarchy.

  • I have always said deep crawl is my favorite tool. It is going to be remade in about two months so look forward to that. But it is important to have those photographs show up when you share things on social media you need to grab people's Attention so deep crawl should be telling you that there's a problem.

  • Hey Dustin! You might actually look right here on Moz for inspiration. Check out how our main Product page is divided up to feature the two separate major products we offer: https://moz.com/products You could do something like this right on the homepage of your website, as well as having it within the top nav.

  • +1 for Egol here. A canonical is just a request to Google - a 301 is a directive Google has to respect. I don't really understand why your technical team is making such a fuzz about it - enforcing the trailing slash (or not) is just 1/2 lines in your .htacess file. Check Stackoverflow Dirk
