Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The amount of code (navigation, related item links, reviews, etc) that eBay adds to its pages should prevent this as well as being selective about how much you send.  For example, you could write a longer description as part of content on your page while uploading a truncated one to eBay. Mostly it's a a question of sales though. If your store numbers remain healthy while eBay adds to it, then that's the most important measurement.

Thanks for the detailed response Ryan.

This does seem like a good opportunity for you to do better than your competitors. Obviously, that's a huge amount of pages with issues. I agree with EGOL's suggestion to remove the brand name if that's one thing making your titles too long. Otherwise, prioritize your most important pages and start there. It's my perception that a good page title is important for SEO, but it's even MORE important because it represents a chance for you to communicate with the people who are finding your page in their search results. Give them a reason to choose your site over your competitor's - a too-long, keyword stuffed title won't do that.

Nicholas, Did the link Lynn provided answer your question?

We are having this same issue. I was hoping someone clarified it for you. Did you ever get it sorted out?

More that will help you show google there two companies Yes in order to break the correlation between the businesses it does not really matter that they're on the same IP.  more on that at the bottom in case you're using a .com and trying to target a country that you have yet to tell Google Webmaster tools you wish to target. this only matters if you are outside of the country you are are targeting with a geo-targetable domain like .com,  see https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1347922 etc. you will then want to make sure you sign up for https://www.google.com/business/  this is free and allows you to add your business to Google plus one very important part of adding this site correctly or sites correctly to Google Webmaster tools is to make sure you have chosen www. or no-www in Google Webmaster tools the reason this matters is you cannot target any country without doing this first. See https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en Then add Your businesses to https://www.google.com/business/faq.html you should place your IP address into the box in this URL this will tell you where your server's data center is http://www.neustar.biz/services/ip-intelligence ( always nice to see people using a VPS) one thing to understand about IP addresses is they do play a small role in Google's understanding of where you are but it is extremely small. If you are in the United States and have a .com address you will want to use Google Webmaster tools and target United States. Obviously you would want to do the same for whatever country or in. If you're in a country with an non-geo-targetable domain like .ca ( Canada) or .de( Germany)  you automatically are targeting  the countries with a geo-target domain. There is really no other way around doing that then once they're created use Moz local to create citations that will differentiate the two businesses even more. https://moz.com/local/overview one of the best I signed up with http://localu.org/ You will also want to add schema to your address along with a KML file and XML site map with your  latitude and longitude this is a free tool that allows you to do this and even creates a schema generated map. http://www.geositemapgenerator.com/input If you use WordPress I recommend purchasing the Yoast local plug-in it will do this and add it to your site map flawlessly along with giving people directions to your business you can also incorporate tools like yoast local SEO in order to add  https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/local-seo/ http://local.yoastdemo.com/widgets-demo/ another easy way to add schema for your address is to use Google's rich snippet creator which is only good for Google not other search engine but if that does not bother you here it is. https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/ in my opinion this is one of the greatest schema tools and it has a WordPress plug-in if needed. http://schema-creator.org/organization.php or you just want a fast address made correctly http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/address/ to better understand why you should use it http://www.webmechanix.com/advantages-of-html5-and-semantic-markup All the best, Tom

Happy I could be of help!

Thank you. I will insist then. It is just a django thing, it gets a bit more complicated but we will do it like that. Thanks

Chris is absolutely right. Here's a tip: For each Google+ Location create a separate landing page on your website to associate it with and in the 'website' section on Google+ use the landing page URL, instead of simply your domain name. This is standard best practice when dealing with multiple business locations.

The # Root Domains Linking? That's a number, not a logarithmic scale.

I see the same thing. I rank #2 in the organic SERPs for a really good money term... and I have a really low  clickthrough rate.  But, there are lots of ads above me.... and image results above me.... and shopping results on the right....  and more ads on the right. I bet google is making buckets of money from all of those ads and the big beautiful images in the shopping results.

Hi Neil, As Don says there is nothing technically wrong with serving the site from a subdomain, google will simply see all the content as coming from the www domain, so no issues with indexing, getting page authority etc. The issue is likely to be the 'keeping some of the old links live' - I cannot think of a way you are going to be able to do this unless you recreate the old joomla content on the new wordpress install and either make the wordpress install serve the same urls as joomla did or 301 redirect the old urls to the new ones. When you say that you have advised that google will not be able to crawl them this means also that users will not be able to see them, that YOU will not be able to see them. So - they are not really live in any real sense (unless I misunderstood something!).

Hi Don't worry. We have seen the same issue. We disavowed at the start of 2014 and the links still show in Webmaster Tools I'm sure eventually they will update the Links to show an Accurate list I would say the most important message you are looking to see , is the one from Google Acknowledging the Disavow or if you have received a penalty , the message from Google saying the Penalty has been uplifted.

Thanks so much, Ryan and Alex for the information. I can see I need to do some more research, so I appreciate the links and advice. We're using Yahoo Web Hosting and the Small Business Plan so, unfortunately as best I can tell, there's no support for 301 redirects. I didn't realize this was not a feature as our site is fairly small and I've never needed to redirect anything before. I've been thinking about moving the site for a long time and now I'm thinking I should step that up.  I've had the preferred Domain name set up in Web Master Tools for years. I don't see anything else there that seems to help.  Thanks again!

Thanks Anthony, that's what I was thinking as well!

_For each subdomain (es.example.com/blah-blah for this example), I need to place the hreflang tag pointing to the page the subdomain is on (es.example.com/blah-blah), in addition to every other 28 subdomains that have that page (it.example.com/blah-blah, etc). In addition, I need to place a canonical tag pointing to the main www. version of the website. So I would have 29 hreflang tags, plus a canonical tag. _ Everything correct but the canonical part (but maybe I misunderstood what you wrote). If the different country targeting pages are in different languages, then you don't have to point the rel="canonical" to the main www. version. NOT AT ALL, because they are not identical. You will start seeing the search snippets of the URLs of those geo-targeted versions (shown because of the hreflang) using the title tag and meta description of the www. version page. So, for instance, the search snippet of the Italian version having the Italian URL but everything else in English. If you need to use the rel="canonical" it should be self-referential (if not another in same cases, but of the same subdomain)

Ah, the image you linked to showed the dashboard. Try going here instead: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/keywords?siteUrl=http://arowautorental.com And look for it in the report: Google Index: Content Keywords. Cheers!

Hi Ryan is correct, it can be done by looking at the server logs, it's a bit tricky to set up so just checked your devs have done this before. also and this is important do you want to show different data to organic visitors from Google or all Organic visitors from all search engines.
