Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks guys - the example I was going to send is now working.

I'm not logged in and there's no spaces between the colon.

If I can dig out an example I'll ping it over but thanks for your help

Hi Mozzers,

I'm seeing some changes in Google when using certain commands I've used for ages.

I'm trying to spot cananical issues by using this search

site:www.mysite.com intitle:"keyword"

This used to list all pages in the index on a certain site with the keyword in the title. Now I'm getting weird results and sometimes results from other sites - not the one specified in the site: command.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

Hi Mozzers,

I have a dev site that I want to run your crawl text on (Roger Bot) but I want to ensure the other engines don't crawl it.

What is the Robots.txt line that I need to make sure only Roger bot can get in and not Google etc?

Please advise

Thanks

Gareth

Hi Mozzers,

Does anyone know what an acceptable figure is for daily following on Twitter?

I've read lots of conflicting views and Twitters guidelines are vague.

I'm starting to follow users so I can get them to follow me back so I can build an audience to engage with. I want to do this more aggressively but whats the threshold to avoid getting banned?

Thanks

Bush

Thanks - the client have changed there structure so I cannot test this but many thanks for the advice.

Hi Mozzers,

Does anyone know if you can set a specified territory for a sub domain in WM Tools?

I know you can do it at domain level but can you do it for a sub folder such as

US.example.com or UK.example.com

I can't see it anywhere in the interface?

Thanks

Hi Kevin, O French and Dr Pete,

Thanks for your input - I'm being told a 301 isn't possible but looking at your comments we can do it and I'll push for it.

Thanks so much for all of your help

Hi Mozzers,

I have a question. The webmaster of a client of mine needs to make changes to some files which will effect the URL's.

Essentially everything is staying the same but the end of the URL will change from .html to .asp.

This is because the site will be dynamically loading content (perhaps from a database) (i.e. latest news to come from their blog etc..)  In order to do this we would need to change the filenames of the whole website.  (i.e. personnel.html would become personel.asp).

Changing URLs can harm indexation but a small change to the end - would Google drop these pages? A 301 redirect is not possible from old URL to new.

What impact would this have on Rankings?

Thanks

Hi Karen,

Spot on! Thanks for that I've been pulling my hair out on it.

March (not provided) rocketed. There are other things at play but this is definitely part of the issue.

You Rock!

Thanks Matt - I'll check the sources.

Rankings are great and have increased week on week so its not this. Organic traffic is up week on week as well.

The ratio or new vs rtn is the only thing to have changed.

Thanks again

Thanks Matt,

Yes I have checked other clients stats and everything is fine.

I can't work it out, thanks for your input though

Hi Mozzers,

I have a client that gets loads of traffic and since the 15th February there has been a decrease in New Visitors and an Increse in Returning.

Traffic levels are the same. The returning is up and new are down by a long long shot.

Have Google changed the way these visits are calculated? I can't see anything on the blog - anyone experiencing similar issues

Bush

Thanks Harold,

There's no reason we can see its being rejected, we've tried the above steps and have submitted a contact and awaiting a response.

Thanks for your help!

Hi MOzzers,

One of my clients has had their Google Products data feed refused since Thursday.

Google products does not offer any reason nor has anything changed.

Is anyone else having issues? I can't find any change of policy but maybe I'm missing something?

Cheers

Bush
