  • Have you tried organization schema to markup the brand, company name, etc? http://schema.org/Organization I second the suggestion to try Adwords if you can't retake the first ranking. Should be pretty cheap if you're bidding on branded keywords with low competition and high-quality score for the client's site.

  • Hi Guys,Gianluca brings up some good points.Talking about very real situations that happen to me quite often. I will prefer to read German and if there is a conversion like a purchase obviously I will have to back out and find the product that I hope is in stock for the US market.I think placing something the language that is native to the country and you can only hope the visitor. "We saw you are visiting us from the USA. If you want you can go to www.domain.com. If not, do not consider this advice" (this is what Amazon does, for instance). Gianluca User see the English version and can change the language manually? I would say user see native version for whatever country you're actually assuming that they are visiting from. Well said GianlucaAll the best,Thomas

  • I once worked for what could be described as a "holding company" that's in the Fortune 500. Because everything they owned was so diverse, they either kept separate branches or the companies/brands separate. Especially if the brand was worth money as a name. It's important to do the research on how valuable the brand itself is because even if you decide to have one company to rule them all, you need to figure out how to transition customers.

  • Not so much SEO implications, although you may want to noindex the page if the only content shown will not be unique (i.e. you're copying the content you post on social to your website). I would be more concerned about the implications on the users. If I click a social icon it is normally because I want to go to the social property. If doing that on your site takes me to a page that has your newsfeed, but I need to make another click to get to your FB profile it would annoy me mucho.

  • HI Mark, There really isn't a big secret to ranking dynamic pages. Provided they all have unique URL's then it is just a matter of populating the content based off of some parameter. I can't say what is the best way to do this but I can give you an example of how I would handle lets say a site like LinkedIn So we have a search box that requires some input lets say we use a name. Run a query in a database to see if we have a match. If we have multiple matches then query basic information (Location, Title, Image) show them to the user and let them select the correct one. Once a user is selected then use that information to populate the page. So I would set as many variables as I could based off of our database information. Say we queried my name (Don Ford) and you found me from multiple matches displayed them to the user and they selected me. $person_fname=Don $person_lname=Ford $person_job=Web Developer $person_company=Columbia Engineered Rubber etc.... Then I would use this variables to generate my title, description, h1, h2 tags, and content and serve it up. Provided the page has a unique url you get my page on LinkedIn. It can be included in a sitemap, indexed by search engines and found online. Example: <title>$person_fname . ' ' . $person_lname . '  Professional ' . $person_job . ' At ' . $person_company</title> The real trick is how much unique content can your store in your database and return to the user. The more you have the more unique content you can display. Since its dynamic you make everything possible dynamic including all the SEO basics. Its really that simple.

  • Have you compared your domain authority to your closest competitors? For example if yours dropped 1 point but theirs dropped 4 this would still be considered excellent. As Monica mentioned DA tends to change a lot and this is normal.

  • I also have a lagging campaign; typically I receive reports on Wednesdays, but no update since Jan 28. Other campaigns seem healthy.

  • It sounds like you'll want to contact your cart platform regarding that.  That example you sent also uses CDN instead of CAD, so maybe that's part of it.

  • For conditional based redirection you'll want to use a 302 or by dynamically serving the right HTML. Things to consider though: Which version will be indexed by Google? Will it be cached? Does the professional version require a login? https? What user hurdles could there be? Cookie off, not executing java script? Is the page crawler friendly? (Lynx test). How's this fit with the business plan? Etc. If it's a paid professional service, it'd probably make more business sense to keep it behind a login. Otherwise your client could be giving away the keys. Moz.com itself is a good example though of a workable model... Here in the Q&A content is being generated that's basic / accessible, but the professional tools are served as part of an account based login.

  • I would tend to agree with Lynn Patchett. Could you tier out your changes and plan to methodically release it in small increments while monitoring the effects? This way you could begin with smaller changes, even a few url's with an update and gauge its effectiveness (or non)...

  • This should change after recrawls. A few things to check for sure: Syntax. Make sure the meta description tag is typed correctly. URL Parameters. Check to see that the missing description isn't attributable to variable or session based issue. Browser test. View the source of some pages as a spot check to make sure nothing is changing between the code and the public facing side of the site. That should do it.
