Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ryan. Thanks for your response. I understand that the translated pages don't need canonical tags, but I am wondering that since the parameter pages may cause duplicate content, should I add a canonical tag pointing to the non-parameter page? Also, I have heard conflicting views on whether or not the pages need a self referencing hreflang tag. Thanks! Kyle

Chaotic link building looks natural, google like natural things

I would contact the developer of the plugin for those types of questions. He seems very responsive to people's input on the discussion section of his plugin.  They do serve practical uses though, like preventing comment spam and such, plus your client has been specifically targeted in the past so it seems it is a value add moving forward.

Hi Ron, It's perfectly fine to run your business out of your home. No danger of being banned for this. Just be sure you are obeying Google's guidelines regarding how your address is displayed based on your business model: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en

Yep I think between the two I should be in a really good place. Thanks

I have the same problem, sometimes i optimize the metadescription to increase my CTR but google doesn´t want to show it.. grr

I would also do a full crawl of the site - to see if all internal links are still working properly. Visit your site with javascript disabled - check if you can still access all pages. Did you see any other problems after migration (less search traffic, decrease of positions in search results in Webmaster tools, more 4xx errors, crawl issues,...etc) I agree with Ryan that without the site it's difficult to guess what the cause could be.

Hi Vlad! I see  - you are talking about a contained business, but are asking about the address rather than the name of the business. In that case, I recommend looking up the business on smartystreets.com to see what the USPS deems as the official address of the business, and go with that version.

Moz itself has several excellent examples of curated content ranking on the first page for medium and higher level competition keywords such as: On-Page Factors: http://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors Search Engine Ranking Factors: http://moz.com/search-ranking-factors Local Search Ranking Factors: http://moz.com/local-search-ranking-factors and more... Are you wondering about techniques surrounding these rankings or more so looking for people familiar with them?  Cyrus Shepard, goes over how and when the above content was published and maintained in his most recent mozinar: http://moz.com/webinars/seo-basics-the-fundamental-signals-used-to-rank-our-content-higher.  All very insightful if it's just information that you're looking for. Cheers!

Hello. Depending on your CMS, shopping cart, or web site design software you can often find sites that are well-designed and ranking well, as one example: https://wordpress.org/showcase/tag/ecommerce/ (for Wordpress). you'll be able to find similar pages for Magento, Shopify, and others.  Cheers!

Glad I could help

"Let's put this to bed once and for all, folks: There's no such thing as a "duplicate content penalty." At least, not in the way most people mean when they say that." "Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results. If your site suffers from duplicate content issues, and you don't follow the advice listed above, we do a good job of choosing a version of the content to show in our search results." This information is from Susan Moskwa, Google Webmaster Trends Analyst. The only problem with duplicate content is that Google has to decide which copy should rank highest.

Thump up! Exactly what I was thinking..

As you are using canonical in "http://www.indigolittle.com/fees/" it will not be indexed in google results ( his original version "http://www.indigolittle.com/fee-guide/" will ). Try with "Screaming Frog" to detect duplicate content. Dont worry

Hi Erin, thank you for your response. Ok that makes sense. I appreciate it!
