Thanks for your answer. So for you it's big bang. Google seems to use our alternate to index our mobile site and display our mobile URL in his SERP even if all our mobile pages are noindex, nofollow.

Just disallow in Robots. No need to do anything else. -Andy

Title Change is the best idea. You should not change the domain name. It will harmful to your website.

Hi Schlomi. I'm Joey, one of the developers of WP Customer Reviews. I apologize for not seeing this earlier, but I'm glad I stumbled on it and very happy to help. Your question is one we get a lot. Carson sums it up best when he says you are at Google's mercy - they decide, and it's not just about the formatting of your snippets. You can see just how "hit and miss" it is by looking at the serps when you search on "powered by wp customer reviews" https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=%22powered%20by%20wp%20customer%20reviews%22&oq=%22po&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0l4.1099j0j4 As you can see, 20-25% of the listings have star ratings in the results. I'd love to see more, but it shows what's out there. The best thing you can do to improve your chances of ratings showing up in search is to upgrade - I see you are using version 2.8, which is several versions behind. We overhauled the plugin in September, which included improvements to the rich snippets. As an internet marketer, the intent of WP Customer Reviews was to get user generated content onto sites and have the ratings show up in SERPS. It does the job, but like always, Google decides what shows up. Thanks for using the plugin. If you have some ideas for improvements, drop me a line.

You're welcome!

Hi again This means that because you have multiple sitemaps, Google is going to crawl those at different times possibly and at different rates, hence some of your sitemaps taking a day longer. I really wouldn't look into it too much, and just be assured that Google is crawling your sitemaps fine and indexing. If you notice major discrepancies in what you submitted and what's being indexed, then I would refer to this Google resource on how to fix issues or errors you find in your sitemap crawl. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there This totally depends on the content of the page you are A. linking from and B. linking to. There are also multiple factors that you should consider when linking to an external site. Take this list from Moz for example: The trustworthiness of the linking domain. The popularity of the linking page. The relevancy of the content between the source page and the target page. The anchor text used in the link. The amount of links to the same page on the source page. The amount of domains that link to the target page. The amount of variations that are used as anchor text to links to the target page. The ownership relationship between the source and target domains. Reviewing the above list and resource will help you gauge whether or not linking to an external page is necessary, and if the page you are looking to link to is worthy of your link. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks EGOL. Makes sense.

Hi there Technically, for the time being I would imagine, Google views that as a relevant link, since they are a web development company and developed those sites. I am not the biggest fan of links like this. While most are good hearted and natural, it just always seemed a bit gray hat. The plus side of this is that they tend to be in the footer and low value, especially when trying to rank for phrases outside of "website development". They aren't really worth it, especially if they are sitewide, it looks shady. I would let them do what they're doing - I always thought one link on the client's homepage or an "About Us" page was more natural and effective. Outside of that, I would look for different query and keyword opportunities that tend to be low competition and higher volume, those could be areas you're missing out on. Check out SEMRush for competitive rankings and search opportunities, your Search Console Top Queries for areas you may not know you have, and Keyword Difficulty to gauge what areas you need to work on to possibly see higher rankings (the SERP Analysis report is amazing for this). Here are some good resources as well: Why We Can't Do Keyword Research Like It's 2010 (Whiteboard Friday) The Illustrated SEO Competitive Analysis Workflow (Moz) Beyond that, when it comes to anchor text, I would focus more on branded anchor text and focus your efforts on the content of your website being based on what your audience is searching for. That way, your content associates your brand with the topic and when Google crawls it can understand that your content associates your brand with a topic and relevant variations. If you do this with your anchor text, you run into the issues of overoptimization, and that can possibly lead to issues down the road. Keep your link building and content development natural, and you'll be on the right side of history. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi, In most cases having duplicate content is not going to punish/hurt you in terms of SEO (unless it's deceptive content) - see https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en It remains however best practice to make sure that content on only one unique url - the example you give seems to be a text book example of 'when to use canonicals' - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en The fact that Google doesn't seem to index the #! pages is probably related to the fact that these pages have few incoming links and that it's making the correct guess that these duplicate pages are not really important. You should also take into account that the site: command is not necessarily giving you all the pages that are indexed. Long answer to confirm that you better add the canonical. Hope this helps, Dirk

Hi there!  Thanks for providing example links and answering my questions. Those were very helpful! I had a peek at your site, and noticed that it has several issues hindering its performance in the search results, including two major ones: 1) widespread duplicate content issues; and 2) very few inbound links. Before you do anything, though, I recommend thoroughly studying Moz's guide to SEO for beginners at https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo. Next, tackle your duplicate content issues. While you could try to sort this issue out using canonical tags (and those are almost always a good idea to use anyways - see https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization for details of implementation), I would focus the bulk of your resources on planning and creating unique, highly valuable content for each page of your website. It looks like a lot of the content for each region and specialist is identical, with some of it near-identical (with the latter having simply the specialist and/or regional names updated from one page to the other only to distinguish it).  This strategy is commonly used to create content on large websites that target many different regions, as it makes it easier to scale content creation, and it used to work to a certain extent to help geotargeted landing pages rank in the SERPs... many years ago. To get some ideas for creating a strategy that will work for your particular website and its audience (and please the search engines), I recommend you check out this Whiteboard Friday on scaling content for geo-targeted landing pages - https://moz.com/blog/scaling-geo-targeted-local-landing-pages-that-really-rank-and-convert-whiteboard-friday. Now, what about those links? How do you acquire those? Once you have created the content that the audience you are targeting craves, linkbuilding will be much, much easier, as people are more apt to link to it -- without being asked. The key to making this work is to get said content in front of the right people. That is, you need to figure out how to best share and promote your content to the people you want to link to it. For more on this, I recommend studying Paddy Moogan's excellent guide to linkbuilding, which you can find at https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-link-building. I hope that helps! Please let me know if you need additional clarification. Christy

In general, H-tags are intended for headlines. That's why they've typically been seen as (at this point somewhat weak) ranking signals—the headline of a page is a decent indication of what the page is about, which helps the search engines determine what to serve that page in response to particular searches. I honestly can't see a reason to use H-tags is a widget title like "Most Viewed." It does nothing to communicate what the page is about, and if you're also using an H-tag for the page headline, the second one may "confuse" crawlers. There are other ways to format those widget titles. I really like Wesley Smits's analogy from this Q&A thread: What i would like to add to his answer is that you should look at H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6 tags as if the webpage is a book. In a book the chapter-title is a H1 tag. All the subchapters have an H2 tag. If these subchapters have another sub-area then this would be marked up with an H3 tag and so on. Having a clear hierarchy in your heading tags will make it more user friendly. Search engines might also understand better which parts of the content are connected to each other and which are separate because of this. I really can't speak to why Wordpress themes would be using H-tags in widget/sidebar titles. It's certainly not what I'd recommend.

I believe that canonical does pass link assets.   If you have a canonical on Page A, pointing to Page B, all of the links that go to Page A will start showing in the link profile for Page B in Google Webmaster Tools. They will show in WMT as..... Via this intermediate link:  http://yourdomain.com/page-a

Hello Steve, It is difficult to say how long it will take because Google handles different sites at different speeds depending on things like domain-level trust metrics, how often the pages get updated, how easy the site is to crawl, etc... Generally speaking, bouncing back after a complete site migration takes a couple of months, which can be shortened by following best practices, most of which it sounds like you've already done. I would submit a new XML sitemap (replace the old one) and then fetch these new pages as Googlebot. Then if you want to write a useful blog post that links to those pages it would help get them crawled and indexed, while also building some internal pagerank for them. Good luck.

This looks like it could be a non issue, it doesn't do it in any other browsers and does not do it on other computers, which I think is strange. On another note I wanted to email you and ask you about something totally unrelated, is there a good email address for you? The only one I have is the support one. Or you can email me at lesley@dh42.com
