Welcome to the Q&A Forum

take the new 4 letter domainname you can market and brand. Redirect the old domain as best and logical you can to the specific pages on the 4 letter domainname. 4 letters are much easy-er to market. usernames in twitter, facebook etc, and you can make xyxy seatle, xyxy newyork as branding or social handlers for local markets and stuf.. #marketing #branding #worlddomination

If there is a 301 already in place then you have nothing to worry about. Google won't see it as two different pages. As for the PA variation, this is a very minor variation and nothing to worry about either. I would only be concerned if your non www site had a much higher PA than your www site, then you may be redirecting the wrong site. For instance, you wouldn't redirect your PA55 version of your domain to the PA12 version. Hope that helps.

If the urls follow any particular pattern then you can use a  htaccess redirect and return the header code 410 / 403 / 404 to Google. (I suggest 410) They will soon drop out of the index. I don't know the exact .htaccess syntax off the top of my head but it will be something like this: If they all come from the same folder then it would look something like this: RedirectMatch 410 ^/folder/.*$ If they have a common character string after the forward slash (such as xyz) then it would look something like this: RedirectMatch 410 ^/xyz.*$ If they have any common character string footprints at all (such as xyz) then it would look something like this (now I'm guessing): RedirectMatch 410 ^/()xyz.$ This would be a pretty easy fix if all of those spammy urls have any common characters after the forward slash or they all originate from a certain folder.

Why don't you sell those products? Is it because those other products are inferior in quality, too expensive for value, etc.? If there are specific reasons like that, it can some times be helpful to state that specifically as a means of helping to educate your customers and potentially sway them into seeing the value of what you do sell. The other thing to look at is what keywords are driving traffic to the page. Granted, this data is hard to get but you can get a good sense of this in Search Console. Figure out why you are ranking for the things you don't sell. For example, if you have a lot of links pointing to you referring people your way referencing something you don't carry, see if there is a way to change those links to something more specific Alternatively, if you are getting enough people coming to the site interested in products you don't carry but there isn't a great reason your company doesn't carry them, maybe see if there is a way you can carry the products (or resell them or something like that). I've worked with more than one client who didn't realize so many people may be interested in Product X until they saw the search traffic and that traffic helped them decide to change products offered.

Its funny, I always have the right direction when working for my clients but when it comes to your own websites and seo optimizations it always helps to get a second pair of eyes. We are all bias to our own work. I couldn't agree more

As others have said, there are a few ways to tackle this but all involve improving your schema so it adheres to the Facebook Open Graph standard (http://ogp.me/).  If your site is a Wordpress site (or other CMS), there are some simple ways to set this up.  Then, when you place a link to your site in the Facebook post, the correct image and information is pulled in automatically.  This can have a great impact on your professional appearance so it's recommended that you do take care of it. That said, let us know what kind of site you are working with and maybe we can offer some more specific directions.

Thank you Andy Had the same conclusion actually, was hoping their could be a magical trick Thanks anyways for your feedback

If you change signals, Google will pick them up. They much prefer to see change than content being incorrectly handled. -Andy

I know that this is an old question but I just started using Snip as well and I want to know, are you still using it? How has it affected your SEO? I read the info on the link too but I am still curious. OR has anyone used it long enough to know how this can affect SEO? Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan, Thanks for this! I had initially asked and then without getting an answer had to go dig around and figure this out myself. At the end of the day I made it happen! Thanks for looking through this again. Ill mark it as answered!

To expand upon Mike's answer, you should be able to connect additional Google Analytics accounts within your campaign settings, like so: http://www.screencast.com/t/bQrQbLpN

Hello, to see all the links to a page have a look at Google Webmaster Tools (now called Search Console).  If you go to 'Links to my site' there is a list on the right called 'Your most linked content'. If you click on this it will give you a breakdown of the links to each page which Google are using as ranking factors.

Hi there I would do a quick content audit and see what content from your old blog could be removed, consolidated, or updated. People love in-depth articles and posts so this could be a great opportunity to see what content is worth expanding on or leaving alone. Whatever you, do make sure that you properly URL map your old blog so that old posts are pointing to their new home on the new blog - that way you don't have a bunch of old blog posts pointing directly to the main blog category. You may also want to do a backlink audit in case some of those old blog URLs have links pointing to them and you want them to updated to the new URL structure, or removed because they are spammy. Hope this helps! Good luck!

if you have your data on your keywords. both rankings and traffic. you could also get his rankings on the same keywords and make an estimation on how much traffic it should be. The CTR for each position you could also estimate based on your own results, or check http://www.advancedwebranking.com/ctrstudy/

Hi, I'm replying you point by point. 1>You must take backlink point to https domain because currently you are using SSL. 2>Yes as you mentioned that you have used 301 redirect so link equity pass to https domain with very negligible loss in link juice but you should take link on https domain because you are using SSL now. 3>Yes of course that is why people use 301 redirect so link equity can pass from old URL to new URL. Hope this helps. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions hectormainar.

Yes, but don't link to it from your home page. It's for search engines not visitors.

Yes, correct - multiple CCS files & javascript will not affect server response time - I think ryan was referring to page load speed.
