Welcome to the Q&A Forum

That's true, and you may be right. But as ignorant as I am, it's the very first time I read url slashes canonicalization is not best practice. And I truly mean you are probably right, but yet I would like to see some piece of proof, like a video of Matt Cutts, an article on searchenginejournal, or something, before to call what was once considered best practice dead and buried.

Perfect, thank you.

Your facebook page has a high number of backlinks from a very small number of domains.  I wonder if the link quality has something to do with it.  Have you dug down into what backlinks are pointed at your facebook page? Also, what about freshness of content on the facebook pages?  Uniqueness of content as well?  This can have quite a big impact I have found. There are so many factors to consider in SEO that the Moz metrics are just that.  A guide that can point you in the right direction.  I quite often outrank competitors despite having vastly lower scores.

Hi Jamie! It looks like there was a problem a little earlier today with this. It should be resolved now. Can you give it another go, and email help@moz.com if you're still experiencing any issues? Thanks!

Hi, Back in the days the trailing slash suggested "this is a directory" in contrary to "this is a file". Browsers would react slightly faster – or at least that's what I was told – when they were indirectly told "look for a file called index…". Today that trailing slash is next to obsolete. Today it is considered good practice to either always or never have that trailing slash – otherwise it could be considered duplicate content. But as far as I know neither theory has any impact on SEO. Thanks

I had a problem with hidden content on a review plugin I was using (they have since changed it) due to tabs.  I can confirm that none of the reviews were indexed that were behind hidden tabs. So, no I would definitely not hide text now that Google doesn't see it.  If you want to test what Google will see and take into account, use the Google Render tool in Webmaster tools.

Hi Carl, Google will be seeing the non logged in version of whatever content you provide when it crawls the site so as long as whatever that content is is consistent with your SEO aims then there is no negative impact. If you are worried about google thinking you are hiding content in some sneaky way for example - this is not an issue since google will be seeing the standard non logged in content consistently.

In general, you should expect Google to look at your desktop pages when it's calculating PageRank, link juice flow, etc., NOT your mobile menu.  So if there are links to your category pages in ONLY your mobile menu and not your desktop, then your category pages won't rank as well as they should.

Hi Steve, I don't see a problem with doing that but best practice would be to leave the optimized image alone and add some linked anchor text somewhere or maybe link the product name within the blog post instead? I have shared a blog post about internal linking below. Check it out https://blog.kissmetrics.com/commandments-of-internal-linking/ "In keeping with the content theme of internal linking, your internal links should use anchor text as opposed to linked images. Image links are fine, provided that images are not the main source of links, and assuming the image is properly alt-tagged."

Ha, you got it done while I was still typing. Good, thorough answer.

" Launched in 2003, back then it wasn't such a bad idea to use keywords/tags in the URLs, so I did that." - it's not necessarily a bad idea now - I'd question why you feel the need to change them? Shorter is often better though. If you do go ahead, 301 would be the best practice. Canonicals pass link juice too but they're not always honoured. A couple of extra things - make sure to update all of your internal links to the new URLs as millions of 301s could negatively impact the speed of your server. And check a sample of the old URLs just to make sure everything is working as expected.

It is a simple question. I have some tiers but I need how many tiers more I need. In addition, I have two levels from link building but I don't know if it is enough.

Hi Alick, Actually my concern is, is there any functionality where we can set campaign timing while we upload xml feed? As our xml is automated that is the reason i am asking such question.

Yep, thanks. Content is the same. Will do redirect.
