  • There is no "penalty" per say for duplicate content. But, if you have the same page in two places they will be competing for a spot in the SERPs. The best way to handle that is a cross domain canonical tag. I agree with Doug however. I think that there is more value having this information on your current site. Is there a particular reason you want them separate?

  • You can look into the use of the Canonical Tags as well and tag the pages you don't want to rank and then make 1 main page with all the color variations.

  • I'd also check your queries in Google Webmaster tools. You can drill down on them to see impressions by day. If you see that your impressions go to zero for a particular Keyword or keyword stem, it's a sign that you might have gotten a penalty of some kind. Penguin tends to attack pages. If you see a particular page or pages had significant falloff, it's a bad sign.

  • Hi Andrei, I wholeheartedly agree with Ryan on this. When you say you have "3 separate blogs for 3 separate domains which are more or less identical", do you mean that the entire domains are nearly identical (which would be the case if these domains all stand-alone blogs.) Or is the content on each domain unique, with the exception of the blog? Let us know, thanks! Christy

  • Most of us SEO practitioners have had clients come to us with that kinda "hack" on their site....poor security or using just plain bad SEO wanna-bes might be the cause...so yes as Matt said here, tighten up your site!!!

  • There are a few different things going on here. Just discovered links are separate from the main OSE index, "This report is driven by a new SEOmoz index that is independent from the Mozscape index, and is populated with URLs that are shared on Twitter," from: http://moz.com/blog/announcing-the-just-discovered-links-report, and is a function of the Moz Fresh Web Explorer. For those links to then go into OSE they have to be added to the overall index and processed as part of the next update. With both tools though you're able to interact quickly with new links, while accomplishing long term planning with OSE and its competitor comparison features. Here's the location of the update schedule: http://moz.com/products/api/updates And Rand's latest Q&A about what the last update (Jan 27) accomplished: http://moz.com/community/q/have-questions-about-the-jan-27th-mozscape-index-update-get-answers-here As long as your links from just discovered get crawled and recorded by OSE, eventually they'll show up.  Cheers!

  • I don't know if you're looking at the right thing... Your site is listing in Google if you check with a site:morganlindsayphotography.com search, so that's current. Plus DNS tools show that your site is pointing to the correct nameservers: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/morganlindsayphotography.com. Further, there aren't any pages listed that are your old 'html' style: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site%3Amorganlindsayphotography.com+inurl%3Ahtml. And I'm seeing pages that have been crawled as recently as February: site search with "past month" selected from search tools. If you're in Google Webmaster Tools and go to Google Index >> Index Status, you'll see a running timeline of how many pages Google has in their index up to recent dates. Starting a new domain and rebuilding your site would be a bad idea as it would only delay OSE further.

  • HI, There are quite a few professional extensions that should do this with minimal fuss (for example here and here). I haven't tried them so am not recommending any specific extension but if the extension is made by a certified magento partner you shouldn't have too many problems. You can also code it yourself - but this would require a developer with good knowledge of magento to implement.

  • The key point to me in any anchor text discussion is this: Google doesn't want you to control your IBLs. Most sites that link naturally will not use the same anchors over & over. If your link profile is natural and you don't control a whole lot of it, yes anchor text is very valuable. If you control most of it and you're adding to the same stuff over & over, it's very bad for you and can result in your rankings dropping. This is the exact reason SEO can be so difficult.  The same link, the same anchor, the same page on the same PR site linked at the same time = everything 100% the same = can still have two very different effects on a business depending on what the existing site, profile and anchors look like. So there's no clear answer to many SEO questions like this. The answer is "it depends."

  • Not so much anymore as others have said...plus, we track heavily our inbound traffic and honestly, it's been YEARS since I ever noticed a DMOZ referral for any of our clients... Might have been a real prize...but not so much anymore, eh!

  • So your footer links, top nav bar, are only visible in code? But can you see them on the page? To elaborate on my answer, I feel that schema markups for links in the footer, sidebar and top nav are irrelevant and not worth exhausting the effort. What benefit does the markup have to the user? The markups should highlight the most important parts of your site for the benefit of the searcher, not the search engine. Therefore my answer is really that same, put yourself in the shoes of the searcher. Is there something in those links worth highlighting that could possibly increase your CTR? My guess is that there probably isn't. Without seeing your site, I couldn't really assume otherwise. The benefit is not to the engine as these markups are for user experience alone. Highlighting the data won't help you rank better if it is irrelevant to the searcher.

  • Hi Woj. I've yet to use that, but conceptually it sounds like it would work as part of platform that's already using a delivery solution: "Edge Redirector requires a delivery solution and works in concert with other Akamai Intelligent Platform capabilities."  If the server based .htaccess is becoming very large and a bottle neck to serving pages globally, I'd consider it.

  • It could be that you need to switch accounts in the navigation itself. Or that he hasn't created any campaigns so far.
