  • Hi, You can export PDFs via the custom reports tab or most pages you should see a "download PDF" button. I can imagine you more want a CSV, where applicable you will see a download CSV option, this is more for ranking reports etc. as seen here - http://i.imgur.com/GQd6rtq.jpg Hope that helps.

  • Hi Alan, To go down another route, you could instead set up URL parameters in WMT itself, that way you could set the URL that contains /page/ as the canonical without having to implement anything on the Wordpress side. Kind Regards Jimmy

  • I usually recommend noindexing search results pages, since Google has said they don't want "search results in their search results." I was thinking about this this morning and I think one way to go would be to give advice on owning a dog in different areas of the city. For example you could say something like "In the City of London, the area is more urban and green spaces are fewer and far between. Dog owners in the City should expect to take their pups to a dog park for some regular exercise, and may want to consider smaller, lower-energy breeds who don't need as much time to run." Something like that. You could talk about nearby parks and dog-friendly attractions, endorse some local vets, list nearby pet hospitals, that sort of thing. It will take time to build out this content, but you can prioritize based on the existing organic traffic each page is getting, or start with your top converters and go from there.

  • I agree with DC1611 and would reiterate you shouldn't just stuff your keywords into both tags. Google's penalized keyword stuffing for some time now and they are always emphasizing user experience. Remembering that alt tags are designed to help visitors who are visually impaired and given the space constraints of title tags, I'd err on the side of using language that succinctly and accurately describes the image.

  • I agree with Dirk - the names you have suggested would work fine and there is a clear difference between each. Obviously the more descriptive you can be with each file the better - but often easier said than done on eCommerce sites.

  • Hi Tamir, Matt has already done a great job in answering this and I would add just a small side note - my guess for the new domain came from someone reading that keyword matching between domains and content was a great way to get better results in SERPs. It's antiquated thinking but that's what it looks like (adding "travel" to the domain in the hopes that potential customers would better understand what they were all about). As Matt said, the big issue is the way the redirects were handled (should be 301'd to a similar site structure for the smallest possible rankings impact). If you were to create a site structure similar to that found on the previous site, you would probably see a return to those traffic levels (or close) fairly quickly. Another method might be to re-institute the previous site by reloading the site map on the old domain (there are tools for this). This would permit you to use the old site until you could get a proper site structure set up for the new one. You don't have to move back to the previous website permanently, but it wouldn't be a bad idea until to have sorted out what you want to do with the new site moving forward. A properly-executed 301 redirect should cost you between 1-3% of your overall link juice. Hope this helps a bit. Rob

  • Hi Kane, thanks for that. After a fair bit of trawling the internet I eventually found the article below which provides a great way of doing what I wanted. For anyone else with an application built on rails (of which I'm sure there are quite a few!) then the following might make a lot of sense to those wishing to utilize the benefits of a Wordpress blog platform: https://medium.com/@parterburn/wordpress-inside-a-ruby-on-rails-app-c324fbf39ad8

  • If you are doing a link cleanup I highly recommend cognitiveseo.  It takes all links from Moz, ahrefs, majestic as well as allowing webmaster tools imports.  You can categorise your anchor texts, and it will run its own system and recommend links to disavow which you can manually review. On top of that, it will also create the disavow file for you.  Saved me a alot of work when I got hit by some negative seo.

  • I had a couple of people who worked on our SEO a few times but we never really got much good advice.  The best advice I have had so far comes from MOZ and our most recent SEO guy, and people such as yourself.  Asking these questions on moz helps reduce it.

  • Well, depends, if it´s a GOOD domain there are some very interesting benefits against a new domain: Domain age is still a positive SEO factor:-) Domain authority, will also help you to rank If the domain has domain authority, it probably has some inbound links ( as i said, its important to check if they are good ). This practice is may not be so ethical, but it´s possible that looking into the domain past with archive.org, you may find interesting content to use that is not longer indexed in google results. You also can use an older domain to do a redirect 301 to your new domain and take part of the old domain authority, but as always, just do it when the old domain is completly clean and the topics match!

  • Of course adding unique content is the only way. add unique categories description if you have a blog, last excerpt of posts related to the category alternative categories info try to figure out possible user generated content, category related define an algo to present different set of products for each category, even if many products fall on multiple categories you don't have to show always exactly the same multiple product descriptions for the same peoduct, one for each category... do some brainstorming and you will come up with more ideas

  • Matt Cuts said literally about this that if this is your main concern, you should probably take one step back and see if there are not some more important issues to resolve regarding your SEO strategy like page speed, usability issues, ...etc. Full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AsLWIuNNMU&t=11 According to an (old) study on Moz (http://moz.com/blog/results-of-google-experimentation-only-the-first-anchor-text-counts) - apparently only the first link is counted (in terms of anchor text). Matt Cuts mentioned this in the video as well, but wasn't sure if this was still the case today (last time he checked was 20009). An older question also adresses the same topic (http://moz.com/community/q/is-there-a-seo-penalty-for-multi-links-on-same-page-going-to-same-destination-page) - answers seem to agree that there is no SEO penalty. So to answer your question - I wouldn't really have big concerns about having multiple links to the same page. Must say that based on the description you give, I worry a bit about the usability of this menu. rgds, Dirk

  • Agree with Ryan - if you want to make changes - better make the image name a descriptive one. Also, take care if you get search traffic from image search - changing the name of your images could cause a big negative impact on your traffic. In my experience the image index is updated slower than the normal index - so if 2554.jpg is indexed and you change it to 6842.jpg or even better red-ford-truck.jpg the image in the result will return a 404 and be replaced by the same image from another site (if it's a stock photo) or dropped from the results. Better to keep the old image in the initial location until the index is updated rgds Dirk
