Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Today, I have checked Google webmaster tools to get answer of following question.

Who links the most to my website? I was assumed that Google webmaster tools provide me list of external website where I have created my text links.

But, I can't get it when see my own website links the most to me. (4652??)

I checked my other websites which are integrated in Google webmaster tools. They also developed on same platform as well as same internal linking structure.

But, I am not able to find out similar issue over there.

That's why I am quite confuse with Vista Store. How can I solve it? Does it really matter?

"Open Site Explorer is my favorite one and always using that to get it done. But, Google webmaster tools is also active & free so why should I not jump in to... "

I am thinking on same way. If I will create individual XML sitemap for my Table Lamps category so help me more to focus more on specific category.

If any category will not index by Google so I can focus more on quality of product pages.

What you think about it?

I have read such a great blog posts on Multiple XML Sitemaps on following websites before a week.

• SEOmoz
• Distilled
• Google Webmaster Central Blog
• Search Engine Land
• SEO Inc

I have created multiple XML sitemaps for my eCommerce website with following structure and submitted to Google webmaster tools.

http://www.vistastores.com/main_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/products_sitemap.xml

But, I am not satisfy with my second XML sitemap because it contain more than 7K+ product page URLs and looks like very slow crawling by Google!

I want to separate my XML sitemap with following structure.

With Root Level Category

http://www.vistastores.com/outdoor_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/furniture_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/kitchen_dining_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/home_decor_sitemap.xml

OR::: End Level Category

http://www.vistastores.com/table_lamps_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/floor_lamps_sitemap.xml

.

.

.

.

.

.

. etc....

So, Which is best structure for Multiple XML Sitemap?

I read some where as follow. So, which is right? I am too confuse...

a single feed can handle up to about 100,000 items of
all types and categories -- from handbags to hammers.

up to 10 feeds may be registered for up to 1,000,000 items.

multiple feeds are mainly intended to submit
more than 100,000 items -- not as a general
separation of products.

there are various issues associated with multiple feeds
that should be taken into account -- such as coordinating
unique id values across all feeds and update and upload
coordination issues; but 10 registered feeds are allowed.

I have submitted my product feed to Google Merchant Center. There are 7K+ products in one product feed. (data_feed.txt)

I am not satisfy with my products' performance on Google shopping. Because, I am not able to maintain data quality for all products as well as not able to focus on high selling categories.

Can I submit multiple product feed with separation of categories as follow.

category001_data_feed.txt (With 200 High selling products)

category002_data_feed.txt (With 100 offers products)

I have read entire blog post which was recommend by you. Kate Morris has given us such a great post and suggest to create unique content on product pages.

But, It's quite hard for me to create unique content for Manufacture Detail tab for 7K+ products.

Can I go forward with Ajax or Java Query to make it hidden. So, crawler will not able to crawl that content. What you think about it?

No, That content is displaying in all product pages. I am able to find out that content in source code.

I am surviving with Google's crawling issue. Google had not index my product pages yet. I have Google a lot and read too many articles to get it done. But, I did not get satisfy answer with it.

I just checked my product pages and found that: There is one tab with Manufacturers Details containing one paragraph.

This content is available on too many product pages with same manufacturer. You can know more by visiting following URL.

So, Does it matter to stop my crawling? If yes so How can I fix it?

I have issue regarding duplicate pages on website as follow.

http://www.vistastores.com/review.html?pr_page_id=90344

http://www.vistastores.com/review.html?pr_page_id=90345

I checked my Google webmaster tools and found that Google have already set Parameter with pr_page_id. So, what is this? Will Google index all that pages? Can I use following Meta tag to block indexing? Which one is best?

Great. Thanks for your prompt reply and I suppose to integrate with my problems.

Ryan,

I 100% agree with it and felt similar situation. But, we have to drill down issues and get final solution which suppose to help us in retaining of business. What you think about it?

I am here to find out final solution and I think you have gave me such a great suggestion. But, I can't do that or remove first 2 domains' content.

So, What's other alternatives for me that's more important. I can do any thing [Exclude removing of 2 domains ] to sustain my organic ranking as well as do 100% white hat SEO for my website.

Ryan wants to say in following manner. If I suppose to search black outdoor floor lamps keyword to Google and assume that I got top 3 ranking with my 3 products.

Now, what will happen in users' mind? Users will click on all top 3 result and will find same products.

So, users of Google will irritate and think that, Google is providing me dump result. Google is going to loose own value due to our dump SEO stuff.

Ryan... You are trying to tell in that direction. Right??

Yes, I can understand it. But, I am doing marketing of my website for US. I know that, there are huge competition in US so I want to take all steps which prevents me in all factors.

I can't follow option 1. That's for sure. I am going to follow option 2.

You have given me such a nice information and suggestion. But, I want to give one input in your answer.

I don't want to work on First and Second domain. I want to leave it on current situation and focus 100% on Third domain. (http://www.vistastores.com)

I worried about internal competition which was created by me.

Patio Umbrellas - See VistaPatioUmbrellas.com

I have similar category with similar product with similar keyword.

http://www.vistastores.com/69_21/outdoor/patio-umbrellas.html ( I want to get rank for this URL during Patio Umbrellas keyword)

I want to give same example for other keyword.

Outdoor Table Lamps - See LampsLightingAndMore.com and similar page as follow.

http://www.vistastores.com/6_73_74/home-decor/indoor-lighting/table-lamps.html

This is big question for me. How How How can I compete my already ranked pages with same products?

Today, I have watched such a great video on YouTube from Google Webmaster Help with following subject.

Does selling the same product on three different domains look spammy?

Now, I have same issue with my three websites. You can find out details as follow.

[I have submitted series of question on SEOmoz Q & A forum to resolve my website's crawling issue.]I assume that, this is one of biggest reason to stop my crawling. So, How can I fix it?

Oh great. That's fine. Now, I got idea... What's wrong with my site. If I suppose to find that duplicate page in Admin so I may not able to find that pages. Right?? So, I just need to set 301 (Permanent Redirection) with help of htaccess. Now, It's clear. Thanks a lot for your prompt reply and quick discussion on my issue.

Are you talking about HTML sitemap or XML sitemap?

If HTML sitemap so you are right and I suppose to make it live very soon with proper structure.

If you are talking about XML sitemap so I have created it with two partition.

http://www.vistastores.com/main_sitemap.xml

http://www.vistastores.com/products_sitemap.xml

So, What you think about it?

301 redirection is final. Right?? After removal of duplicate pages.

In addition you may want to remove "zero products" pages from index and not link to them as they are not good for users or search engines.

Yes, you are right. I want to remove zero product pages as well as all pages which were created due to human error.

As I mentioned above: Following page is not available on website for buyers. Buyers will not able to see this page any more because, not a single page available on website which is available with hyperlink to that page.

http://www.vistastores.com/126/cookwares.html

But, SEOmoz crawler detect it and when I see in excel so I quite confuse. Because, that page is working and visible with all products which are available to original page.

Users are not able to go that duplicate page but Google crawler can go there and able to detect as duplication.

I have bit knowledge about duplication and assume that Google will detect both page as duplicate. That's it. And, I want to resolve it.

I think, This issue is not regarding URL rewriting. I can say very sure for it. As I said, duplicate page content URLs are not available on website. If any visitors will visit website and go to each page so that visitor will not able to find duplicate page.

URL rewriting will fix issue regarding URL structure but, what about duplication which is available in my own website to compete both pages with same keyword?

I am quite confuse with 301 redirect. There are too many duplicate pages which were generated due to wrong categorization or create new same category rather edit old category.

I want to remove all duplicate pages from my website and want to set 301 redirect.

I want to give one example for it.

Original Page:

http://www.vistastores.com/125_126/kitchen-and-dining/cookwares.html

Duplicate Page:

http://www.vistastores.com/126/cookwares.html

Duplicate pages were created due to Admin issue or by human error. No one will find our land on duplicate page during website surfing.

Now, I want to detect and remove all pages which are available with duplicate content.

So, Does it matter to delete that pages from website and set 301 to associated page or home page?
