Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your insight there Martjin, super helpful. Yes, the Google drive was what I thought we'd use if there was no SEO  advantage to having people view/download on our site.

I'd slap some big Adsense on it and enjoy!   I believe that one off topic page will not hurt anything - especially if the page is an outstanding example of content for its topic. I know sites that publish on a wide range of content and have fantastic rankings.  These sites were once single topic,  then departed with a single page that struck gold - and then started plowing that field into a hundred pages,  and soon ranking #1 for the single-word root keyword.    They then hit gold on a second topic, and a third.  Now these sites have diverse branches but have found ways to interrelate the topics. I don't think that Google has a problem with conflation.  You might even make Google think that the two topics are complementary.

Hi there, Thanks so much for reaching out! So I've taken a look, and running this page through through our cURL tool for on page grader, I am seeing that this page is returning a 407 status code -  "407 Proxy Authentication Required". More information on what error this status code represents and suggestions on how to fix can be found here: https://airbrake.io/blog/http-errors/407-proxy-authentication-required Your developer or website admin may be able to support in resolving this issue. I hope this helps, let us know if you need anything else!

Thank you very much for so many solutions, I will implement it if I see any issues again and bookmarking this page also. Regards Dinesh Singh

For the page I see schema for FAQPage and SoftwareApplication among others.  But I don't see product review schema.

My Site is Hit from Google update it is about on mod apks .  i am waiting for December update.

My only counter argument to that would be "What if someone who is a regular wanted to go back and see an old one but couldn't' find it because they are all named the same?"

It's tough to tell without seeing the help & marketing pages. How similar are they? Generally, these are different as marketing pages generally talk more about user benefits where help pages are more tutorial based. It's likely as long as they aren't 1:1 matches (or very close) that they can both exist. In the rare event that the help center pages are an exact duplicate of existing marketing site pages, then in theory you should be able to 404/redirect those pages and not worry about them. If there's already another version of the page on the site than there's no need to manage it in two places. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hey, this is exactly what I experience with cv formasi. During the first crawl of the campaign, the tool returned normal almost all links visible compared to GSC. Then it almost stopped working. I wonder if it is something to do with the number of pages set to crawled when you just create a campaing. From now on I always set the number of pages maximum, see if it works

Hi there! Thanks so much for the great question! We'd be happy to look into the Moz reports you're referring to. Can you please send an email on over to help@moz.com with the website you're working with and the reports you're looking to generate? That way we can take a look and see what's going on. Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing from you!

I always advise to go with subfolders if you can for SEO purposes if at all possible but I understand that sometimes for technical reasons, subdomains are necessary.

Thanks Gaston for your answer on this! I will definitely not make a fast move here and will start with testing for sure. Are there are more people who can contribute to this or have experience with this topic? Thanks!

No problem! A good golden rule of JavaScript SEO is to always SSR where possible. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi there, First of all, its a mistake to think that when searching with _site:  _operator, the first results are the most important nor the more relevant. Google has said a few times that we shouldn't rely that much on what that search in terms of what's being shown. Blocking search results with robots.txt wont be of help, as it will not remove already indexed pages and cant prevent for new pages to be indexed (if there's an external link to a robots.txt blocked page, google can still index it) it'll only prevent Googlebot from discovering new ones FROM YOUR SITE. Again, i'd try to dig deeper to understand where are the links to internal searches that google is finding. Googlebot will not do any search in your site. The thing with GSC, might be related to quite a few reasons. I cant say much because I don't know any more specifics, but from what you are telling me it looks like you are getting impressions in searches that you don't relate to your site and that land on pages that google is noindexing. Yeah im repeating the obvious, hehe.  In my experience, Google can have these strange behaviours. You know, there are cases when a page is canonicalized, but it can still be shown in SERPS. Dont ask me why, but it happens. It takes a little time to google fully replace it with the correct one. I'd wait a little longer to see how Google is handling them. I don't know if im helping you.  it kinda took me a few minutes to understand/process what you wrote and come up with an answer. Please, feel free ask again or comment on my reply if I misunderstood something. Best luck, Gaston

Hi there, This is exactly the case where Google recommends to use canonical, on this resource page: Consolidate duplicate URLs - google Search Console Help. Keep in mind that canonicals are efficient when different URLs have the same content. I'd avoid redirections because that would be hurt user experiences when navigating the website, and we know that hurting UX upsets Google. Hope it helps Best luck. Gaston

Hi there, No, there is use for ranking on google. There might be other services/tools that use that, but as that tag was created specifically for search engines, I'd wouldn't spend any more time than reading this answer As said in this google webmasters blog: Googles does not use metakeywords tag in web rankings. Hope it helps. Best luck.
