Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello, I also have a similar problem. Please can you tell me if having duplicate page titles in Moz is an issue as I also have rel= canonical in place. Thanks

Hey there, I was going to write up a full response, but honestly this video does it better than I even could. Have you seen it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nJzwDIf7r4 Your specific question begins to get answered around 2:25 mark, but you might want to watch the whole thing to get context. The part about default and custom segments begins around 4:50. Basically, you can either query for a dynamic segmentation ("on the fly"), one of the default segments (same as the ones in the GA interface like direct, search, mobile, etc.), or one of your custom segments that you created in the interface. You're gonna have to grab the ID associated with your custom segment and call it with: &segment=gaid::{whatever the id of your segment is} The ID that you need will be listed in your XML account feed (around 5:15 in the video). Hope that helps.

Thanks, Ryan. I was confusing those. To execute the sitemap index, would I just point the crawlers to the index? Do you have any links to overviews of how to set that up?

You could refresh your sitemap, then re-submit it to Google webmaster tools. This usually works for us

Oh, PERFECT. That is exactly what I was looking for. Lays everything out in a super easy to read format. Thank you very much.

That makes sense. So is that hurting/helping our SEO? We have a 301 redirect in place on the www. so I imagine it shouldn't be big deal.

Just found this today and after a year and a few months it is still helpful, thanks Dr Pete!
