Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I do not see that function in the free version of cloud flare? I am adding the "challenge" rule to hopefully cut back. My client does not have the money for the paid plans. My next step is to go disavow those links.

Hi there I recommend running your page through the Fetch as Google tool in Search Console. This will help you see how Google sees your page. From there you can diagnose any issues you may run into. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Huh! Fair enough.

Hey RedSweater, Thanks for your in-depth response. So firstly I wanted to ask with regard to the pop up modals for each star sign are you saying if we use the AJAX instead of the javascript to pull in each additional sign like you were saying would this be a better way to optimize the page for spiders to see, also how we currently have them creates the duplicate content effect? Another question I might ask is, why are you archiving all the daily horoscopes? Are you seeing visitors to old horoscopes, or are you holding onto them for your own records? No, we are not holding them for any records at all, not that I see or know if there is any benefit in doing so.  We currently do keep backup copies offline. That way, you could have a permanent "Daily Cancer" page with a more refined meta description that ever changes, and every day you just go in and edit that sign. Same for all the other signs, and same for the weekly sign pages. Anytime people link to these pages, they would keep that value - and I think that might help your rankings. Right now, with every horoscope being on its own separate daily page, say 2 people share that link on Facebook. Those links go straight to say the Cancer horoscope for June 1, 2015. That means they're kind of frozen in time. If instead you had a "Daily Cancer" page and they linked there, and then a week later they shared it again because they liked the new horoscope, you'd have 4 incoming links to the same page. I think I see what your saying now: So if I'm correct in my understanding I can create a separate page for each star sign, and every day while updating the dailies I can go in and replace the old with the new this way the links are staying the same etc the only thing I would be tweaking is the meta tags des now and again and the content for each star sign. Is that correct? Thanks for you in-depth look into it really appreciate it. Justin

Hello, I'm not able to read the content, but just looking at it side-by-side, the content appears to be very similar. You may want to consider re-writing a bit to make the pages a little more specific to their topics. I understand that the topics are closely related, and we encounter issues like this on our site as well - there are only so many ways you can write about a rail pass! But, by changing the copy up a bit, you'll garner better SEO results. It has been my experience that search engines scan from top to bottom, so especially your intro paragraphs on each page should be different copy, just looking at these two pages, they seem VERY similar including the headline: Een vaste rentevoet, dus geen verrassingen is there an easy way to change this copy up a bit? You may want to consult with a copywriter who should be able to assist you with this. Good luck! Amiee

Hi there Here's an example direct from Schema.org: GreatFood 4 stars - based on 250 reviews 1901 Lemur Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (408) 714-1489 www.greatfood.com Hours: Mon-Sat 11am - 2:30pm Mon-Thu 5pm - 9:30pm Fri-Sat 5pm - 10:00pm Categories: Middle Eastern , Mediterranean Price Range: $$ Takes Reservations: Yes You can see more examples when you scroll down to the bottom of the page. Keep in mind that you need the business information to attach the hours schema to. If you don't want anything else other the opening hours visible, you can take advantage of meta tags to put in missing / implicit information. I would discuss with you web development team. Hope this helps! Good luck!

No problem. You were just trying to help.  Appreciate it.

Chris Young, Senior Director of Product, updated the feature request and it seems that it should be released within this month: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20199538-is-there-a-way-i-could-add-another-user-to-access-my-pro-account

Hi, Thank you for this question and the responses because we encountered the same issue; Screaming Frog was only crawling a handful of products out of hundreds, because of JS. We made significant changes to the redirect rules on our dev site, and we want to make sure that the changes will not cause any crawling errors before we deploy to the live site. Is there any way to disable JS just for the purpose of a Screaming Frog crawl? Our dev site is: https://msc-nop.com Our regular site is: https://medicalscrubscollection.com Thanks in advance!

Wow, 10 years ago EGOL! Must have been tough taking that approach back then when black-hat methods still worked pretty well. You were always in it for the long term I'm guessing.

we don't do the hard sell If I read that on your website, I would be a lot more likely to call.  This is why I would be an email person.  I want to avoid this. Would you believe it though??? I wonder how many people would... I guess its worth testing!!! I'll talk to the team and see what they think. Thank you! Unless we know the customer's financial history we can't offer fair and reasonable advice If you tell me this before you start asking I am will be more comfortable about providing it.  You probably do this now. hmmm... I honestly don't know. The sales teams do build a rapport with the customer over the phone, which helps I think. I'd need to see their 'script' (they don't have scripts as such, more like checklist to ensure they cover the regulatory/legal requirements) to know for sure. Thanks again for the input - I always look forward to your advice.

Hi Martijn, thank you for your answer. I am basically trying to decide if I should geo-target or language target a website. From what I understand from your answer (correct if I am wrong), if I geo-target a website for the UK, it will appear in SERP optimally not only if the searcher IP belongs to the UK, but also if the search was done from google.co.uk outside the UK. I need to get this right, since the market I am in is rather competitive

Hi there Here's a good post from Dr Pete on the subject. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Yes, the links should come from your own website. If you have a powerful site, creating sitewide links to several logical category pages within your product pages can be adequate. If your site is new or not very strong yet then it may be best to grow the number of product pages in steps as your site is able to get them in the index and hold them in the index.  A weak site will probably not be able to get 5,000,000 pages indexed.  If your site is not powerful, attempting to do it usually results in a ranking decline on the original part of the site.

Google is fickle when it comes to sitelinks. There's not a lot you can do to control them aside from telling them which pages NOT to show for certain URLs in Webmaster Tools. There's definitely a correlation between your highest-authority pages and pages that appear prominently on your site by default. The only thing you can really do to get site links is to prove to Google that you're a brand and that you appear more prominently in a search for something like your brand name. It's less a technical matter and more a matter of spreading the word about your brand. Links, shares, online mentions, and real-world awareness branding actions are all likely to help.

Hi there Rand actually just gave some insight to this in another Q+A thread; I recommend reading it! Hope this helps - good luck!

Hey there Patrick, Thanks a ton for responding to my question. I too indeed have the hreflang tags within my site but still use a redirection. I will try changing that as soon as possible then. Also what kind of redirection should i use if someone chooses another language in my site? Right now the redirection is set as a 301. I have heard a lot of chatter talking about a 302 redirection. Any opinions?
