Crawl Diagnostics

http://www.seomoz.org/help/crawl-diagnostics

It's not just you I have seeing flux, so have people like Cyruss Shepard. I'm assuming it's another rollout of on of the new updates. SEO Moz has been showing flux as well http://mozcast.com/

If it's Good for users it's good for Google.

Potentially duplicate content < Fast page load speed + Lower Bounce Rate

Change the site structure and let the pages 404, Google will deindex them if they are not being linked to.

Yes, and I'd ask:

What do they do on the off months? You can help them on the one months, but what are they doing to diversify their income?

Help them with both and you'll have a client for a long time

It absolutely makes sense!

Why?

Google is great at picking up on duplicate content, even if it's in another language.

Benefits of separating:

Register with a .es domain name and you can geo-target spanish speaking clients easier.

No duplicate content penalties.
Increased, targeted traffic = better conversions (more sales)

How?

Just use the same design/structure for your new site
301 the old pages to their new locations

Cost?

Low if you use the same design
Have to pay your SEO for the work

Network with bloggers and social media users who:

• Are computer or tech friendly/technicians
• Advertising firms that specialize in print
• Graphic Design Firms
• Office Equipment Websites/Blogs
• Business Bloggers

By network I mean

• Share tips/experience
• Share funny yet professional stories about your industry/pitfalls
• Interview people in those industries
• offer to write a guest post for their blog

No, this is new to me. But this might help:

.htaccess: how do multiple .htaccess files work?

Looks like "crawlink" is the fourth search result for it's own name out of 7000 pages. It's a pretty strong indication that it's a poor domain to be associated with.

Network with some bloggers and social media guys and ask them to share links to some of your interesting content.

Check GA (Google Analytics)

1. Are the 404d pages receiving search traffic?
2. Are the 404d pages ruining your user experience? (Are they accessible via your site links)

If no to both, is this really worth a couple hours of your time?

Hi Blaine,

From a purely SEO prospective, it's better to share just the site's link on Facebook.

However!

I personally prefer to have** people like a Facebook account** because it allows your todirectly interact with visitors following your site. And it's great for visitor retention and brand loyalty.

Regards,

Ben

Why not both? If you are creating a valuable resource that is.

shrugs Never had that issue, I say go over at least 25 charters but under 70

"this is an example title" < -- That's 24  characters

I use this tool when I'm uncertain:

Really? Scratches Chin "Good... Good.." have a link to an article on it?

" raw video files" as in pre- rendered?

• Illegal? No
• Impractical? Yes

Sounds like your dev team is lazy. Tell them to convert to videos to .mp4 and go from there.

If the keyword you want to target is already in your URL and Title it's spammy to do it if in the category as well.

domain.com/blue-shoes/blue-shoes-tampa

Flat structure such as /%postname%/ gets you indexed faster.

Never use tags - you will be creating too many link paths, and on page links, which devalues the internal links you do have, such as categories.

Ah, if you use Google as the marketplace to sell you products, how do you know which rank your products show up in the SERPs.

That's a good question.. I'll have to do some digging for you first.

Can you rephrase/clarify " the price ranking of my products in google shopping"

• You Tube - It has a larger audience
• Yoast's new Video Plugin (if using Wordpress) - Embed the youtube video on your site, the plugin creates the video sitemap and rich data (SERP display image) for you.

These are all crawlable:

• HTML (and all variants)
• .css
• .php

Google still may have issues with:

• some .asp
• Java Script
• They are pretty good about JQury (Our stuff gets indexed)
• Flash.. everyone except for clients' hate flash lol
