Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, I fear that it's not going to work for the Arabic version. In each case I am certain that the on page grader of Moz is unable to deal with non-latin characters - see also the answer from Matt Roney on this question: http://moz.com/community/q/use-of-moz-with-non-latin-characters rgds, Dirk

Hi Patrick, Thanks for taking the time to look into this matter for me. Your first suggestion a re-direct is probably the best way to go. Most of the products are changing every season, and get slightly updated in colour of fit so a redirect is the best way to go imo. If products are never coming back I will update my sitemap and internal links. I'm trying this plugin to help me out with re-directs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/Seems to be a good solution for redirecting pages and post, so if anyone needs it try it out! Thanks again Patrick. Question answered. Joost

I think you'd get more results from removing "frogs" so many times from the URL. We had a client doing this with insurance: theirinsurancecompany.com.au/business-insurance/insurance-details.html And it was a disaster. We changed all the URLs to types of insurance but without the word so: theirinsurancecompany.com.au/business/insurance-details.html And rankings improved dramatically over the next month or two as the URLs were recrawled and reindexed. Now they rank for all sorts of insurance related keyphrases with FEWER instances of insurance in each URL.

I would post a nice, but very obvious banner at the top of the site that says something like this... Mr Egol has joined the law practice of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.  WIth smaller font below giving your new address, phone and email. Clicking the banner could go to your profile page at the new firm with a nofollowed link.

That's pretty much it. Wordpress is pretty easy to setup with https. As for the question of this thread. You already did it since you inserted all versions to GWT.Google will do the rest as long as you've properly set all to direct to https. Youll see your webmaster stats for http drop like a fly to https and youll see an (almost) instant upwards with your line in your https impressions.

We use Speechpad here at Moz. It's quite accurate; we really just go over the transcript after the fact for formatting.

I'll try that, thanks.

I thought so! Thanks, Patrick, have a good weekend.

Hello, Well, there are some strategies to avoid duplicity like adding extra text to your job profile pages (the content at your header, footer, H1, etc... everything counts!!!), that only you will have and other sites won't. So, problem solved....! In terms of Google penalizations, I won't be worried, since normally the content even if it's repeated at other sites like monster or gumtreem, the content is not spammy and Google (and Matt Cutts) know it. Hope it helps! Luis

Jennifer, Some of your pages still reference http images - example https://www.tsheets.com/proadvisors-we-trust.php calls image http://cdn.tsheets.com/images/pros/denise-loter-koch.png "Your connection to www.tsheets.com is encrypted with obsolete cryptography. However, this page includes other resources which are not secure. These resources can be viewed by others while in transit, and can be modified by an attacker to change the look of the page." This is probably the reason for the 804 errors in Moz. You should also check your internal links - some of them still point to the http version which is then again redirected to the https version Example https://www.tsheets.com/infographics/time-tracking-infographic-hr-industry links to http://www.tsheets.com/infographics/time-tracking-infographic which is then redirected to https. Unrelated to the https - but you might want to optimise the image on https://www.tsheets.com/online-invoicing-and-billing/ (https://www.tsheets.com/online-invoicing-and-billing/images/main-image-billing.png) rgds Dirk

Many thanks all. I will look at those articles and give it a go and see what happens. Pete

Hi, When you say that referral traffic was unaffected - did you see the burst of traffic in Analytics or not? In webmaster tools - do you see that clicks go down to zero during this timeframe. Was there an increased number of crawl errors during this period? Was your site able to handle the traffic or did it go down - sometimes when sites are unstable or frequently offline Google temporary removes them from the SERP's until the situation has normalised. Without additional info it's difficult to judge what exactly could be the cause. I never heard that a sudden peak of traffic from one source had an impact (in the negative sense) on search traffic - normally more visits from other sources are rather positive for your rankings. rgds, Dirk

Thanks Tom

Many thanks Patrick, I will take a look at the article etc.  These pages are gone and wont' be coming back , so It looks like a 410 would be fine. Many thanks Pete

Awesome resources here from Laura on the subject - definitely check them out!

Hi Again, I showed your image to a few very good Local SEOs and no one had ever seen anything like it before. Maybe some type of radius function. Maybe Google is testing something. Update: I stand corrected. Someone I spoke to says they have seen this in the Google My Business dashboard and that it was called 'hit radius'. It might have been something showing where most calls or traffic were coming from. I guess it's not a well-known feature whatever it is! Might be worth it to take it to the Google and Your Business Forum and see if you can get more info on this from a TC there.

Hi Joseph! These are both good answers, but I want to add that a PA of 1 often means that our crawler isn't reaching those pages, or that there are no inbound links to them. Sure enough, when I looked your site up in Open Site Explorer, I saw that the subpages all show that we don't have data. If you haven't had the chance to look up those pages in OSE, here's the advice the tool returns: Check your URL for typos or other errors. Did your URL cut off or contain the wrong punctuation? Check out the site's navigation. Sometimes it takes multiple index updates for us to discover pages that aren't linked to from the site's primary navigation. A simple fix is to create a link to the URL from another page on the website. The Mozscape index is still growing. Keep in mind that, while large, our index doesn't cover the entire web. If you have a smaller site it's possible we haven't crawled the domains linking to it. Search the pages linking to yours to see if we have indexed their links. If you need help with link building, check-in with our Q&A community. If you don't see any inbound links to this page: Make sure we're not blocked from crawling this URL or site. If our web crawlers are blocked from crawling certain pages (i.e., with "noindex" or Robots.txt), they may not be included in the index. Does that help at all?

Hi, Matt is very rightly said "If you want to sell worldwide, I wouldn't use .london extension" . Apart from that Matt cutts said in 2012 "Google has a lot of experience in returning relevant web pages, regardless of the top-level domain (TLD). Google will attempt to rank new TLDs appropriately, but I don’t expect a new TLD to get any kind of initial preference over .com, and I wouldn’t bet on that happening in the long-term either. If you want to register an entirely new TLD for other reasons, that’s your choice, but you shouldn’t register a TLD in the mistaken belief that you’ll get some sort of boost in search engine rankings." Hope that helps Thanks

Thanks Tom - that's incredibly helpful - much appreciated Luke
