Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I wonder if they just installed it and didn't make any configurations? That would be my first guess since they left it up to you (the client). I wrote an article about setup on nginx (seems to be your environment). Take a look at that post and specifically the virtual host server config where I enable specific PSM filters for that website. Oh, and I'd also check the nginx.conf file to see if it's turned on. Responded to your PM as well. #ngx_pagespeed module settings pagespeed on; pagespeed FileCachePath /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache; http://www.rankhammer.com/blog/2513/page-speed-module-nginx-setup-on-linode

you're running Apache tomcat right? 301 Redirect URLs. Redirect 301 /holidays/about-direct-traveller/british-travel-awards.asp /directtraveller/awards Redirect 301 /directtraveller/holidays/about-direct-traveller/british-travel-awards.asp /directtraveller/awards I am guessing this simply from you having this port open and having no issues with HTaccess 8443 is the default port of tomcat with ssl http://beamusup.com/generate-htaccess/

As Ryan and Monica say.... "combine these results into a single long page". That long page will be much more substantive content for the search engines - so it will probably rank a lot better than any of the single skimpy pages.  Also that page makes it much easier for visitors to compare.  And, it reduces duplicate content issues.

No you should be fine

If it makes things easier, based on your settings in that campaign you've always been crawling "all sites," including http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com. If this is due to a redirect, I'd guess that it's due to a redirect having been removed. Have there been any changes made on that site recently?

Using the Change of Address feature in Google Webmaster Tools and having your host point the DNS at the new site will help Google understand that the site has moved. However, you will probably see URLs from the old site outranking URLs from the new site for a while. If you can't create entirely new content for the new site, it would still be worth refreshing and rewriting the content for at least your highest-traffic pages, so they aren't exact duplicates. Reclaiming as many links as possible by reaching out to get them pointed to the new site, rather than the old site, is definitely worth doing. You should also start thinking strategically about how you're going to market the new site to earn more links links once it launches, to make up for the links you can't get re-pointed to the site. It will probably take a few months for the new site to start performing well and outranking the old site, but it's definitely possible.

Thank you for the answer, I will certainly keep an eye on Webmaster Tools. Best, Miguel

Hi Aaron. From the help page: Q: How do I show or hide the MozBar? A: Either clicking the button in the top right or using the keyboard shortcut (Cmd + Option + Control + M on OSX, Shift + Ctrl + Alt + M on Windows). It looks like now the SERP feature is an on / off view by clicking the icon in your browser. (Or using the keyboard shortcuts)

Hi, Thanks for your reply.  To clarify, in your opinion Time to Purchase and Time Lag are useless reports? I've not had a chance to look at KM, KI or CI.  How do they work?  I assume they cannot work retrioactively and are cookie based (cookies with a long TTL).  There is an obvious point of failure here - I read somewhere (shaky citation I know) that cookies are cleared much more frequently now (monthly) so this data has to be heavily caveated at best. Thanks again for your help.

I've noticied that the website ranking in the first position has a huge quantity of content about the theme: it could be possibile that the website ranks in that way (despite the DA and PA lower metrics) for some LSI / LDA factor? I mean, Google considers the website the one that talks in deep way about the theme, with correlate arguments. In addition, unlike the other websites, the first result is a website with that only theme (starting from the url), instead, some other websites has only one page about the theme of the SERP. What do you think about it?

Thank you Jonathan, I had read some articles on this "significant" change. My current website is NOT mobile responsive, however we are launching a new fully responsive website in mid-May so hopefully we will not fall of mobile SERPs for too long.

Hi MrSem, Thanks for re-launching this conversation with new questions, which are good ones. My advice here, numbered for clarity: You should only have one "Contact" page on the site, listing all 5 of your locations. You should also have a unique page for each location. These are typically called "location landing pages", "local landing pages" or "city landing pages" - not "contact pages". The contact page should feature the basic contact info of each branch. The landing pages should feature much more than this. They should each be a unique resource of information about that branch, including NAP, driving directions, a map, reviews, special offers, customized CTAs, proofs of community involvement and anything else you can think of that might interest, inform and persuade customers as to the desirability of choosing your company. If you're listing a toll free number, be sure you're designating it as such and that it is the unique LOCAL number you're most closely associating with each branch of your business. If the number of locations you have is beginning to create navigational concerns, you may be reaching the point where you need to consider a store locator widget. Typically, I don't see these being implemented for a business with just 5 locations. More like 10+. For major brands with hundreds or thousands of locations, store locators are an essential medium for helping consumers find the branch nearest them. For your business, with 5 locations, the function simply may not be necessary. You can list all of your location in high level navigation without clutter, and you can also put them in the footer, on the contact page, etc. This shouldn't take up too much room, and should provide good UX for your users. Does this help answer your questions? Please, let me know if you have others.

Kimberly Here's a little more background straight from Google on "duplicate content" - http://www.thesempost.com/duplicate-content-penalty-exception/

Hi Dan, Thanks for the great answer! Really helpfull. Best, Joost

Hey, how did this work? Did you get it to track appropriately?

Legend. Thanks Purkey.

If you're saying that organically it's ranking well you'll see a dip from the redirection process. If you like the site and don't want the risks associated in redirecting, you should probably avoid redirecting it.
