Welcome to the Q&A Forum

At SEOmoz we use Amazon CloudFront that allows us to setup a CName for our CDN. For example you will see that all our CDN images come from a few different subdomains, such as cdn.seomoz.org or profile1.seomoz.org. I bet your drop is coming from the ugly url that your CDN is providing. If your CDN allows you to create a clean CName I would do that and create  your CDN at cdn.vistastores.com. Casey

The first meta tag refers to the Internet Explorer - you can read about it a bit more here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx The other meta tags are referring to the size of the view port - based on the condition whether the device that is used to preview the page is a mobile device or not. You can also see the meta title and description tags: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> Meta description is wrapped with the conditional statement. My suggestion would be to remove these lines: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> And place your standard meta title and description above: Hopefully this should solve your problem.

Thanks for your reply. Honestly, I did not want to digging more on this question after getting your first reply. But, I just assumed that, I may get some additional information from your experience. Finally, I'm going to Mark as answered.

I got your point. What you think about page rank? Can I pass maximum page rank to my product pages. It may increase my organic ranking during long trail keywords.

The best way from what I understand is to continue link building, but do so from high authority sites with an anchor text to that specific page. Anchor text being, "patio umbrellas". Blogs are a great place for that, because often your links will end up on the home page, at least for a short time, which will significantly improve results. Try guest blog posts if you have time and have a network and link from authority sites blog rolls as well if you have them available. Other than that, pray and hope.

Yes you can submit the same video to as many different video sharing websites as you want. I would suggest writing a unique description for each video. One question to ask yourself is are you providing users/viewers with quality content or are you just creating spam...something to consider anyways.

I agree with Ben on this one. There are plenty of 404s caused by scraper sites that don't and won't affect my time, especially on big sites. Also, redirects aren't the only tool available. There are plenty of other ways to fix GWT 404 errors, particularly if there is a fundmental problem aside from the link in question.

It can be frustrating, but definitely give any change time to work (unless it seems like it's actually harming you). It can take Google a long time to re-index/re-cache deep pages, even if they visit your site daily.

Love most Masala so I shall.... Thanks

Hey, For the keyword you want to rank in top 3 I get: Home Depot, Amazon and Overstock. All of these 3 websites are big authority websites. It won't be easy to outrank them and it will require a lot of time and linkbuilding.

I would firstly check the competitions for that term. What they are doing, where to they get their "juice" from. And only then start thinking about a strategy how to out-rank them. Good luck! Istvan

EGOL, Good to know, That's interesting to know about filtering of weaker domains. I have very big question in my mind. I have given too much efforts to create these contents for distribution in external websites. Now, I have internal platform to share my content or knowledge associated to products for my buyers. Because, this will give me good benefits rather than external websites. I am not focusing about external links. I am selling patio umbrellas and have 20+ How to, DIY or related content which may helpful to my buyers. So, I have big question about my organic performance which is associated to products level. Google will find out duplication due to my blog section. That's for sure. But, will it create negative impact to my organic ranking which is associated to product level pages or categories?

Good to know that, Visits may be short term. I have set Canonical for all dynamic pages. I have done big R & D before make it happen. That study includes big eCommerce websites. But, I am surviving with my visits since January 8, 2012.

Good to know! I don't want to raise one more question with it. But, want to know that, Can I do it with my eCommerce website. http://www.vistastores.com/

Are you talking about internal link structure or external links? I have done lot of work to define proper categorization and internal link structure.

Not a complete answer but instead of rel-canonicaling your dynamic pages you may just want to robot.txt block them somthing like: Disallow: /*? this will prevent google from crawling any version of the page that includes the ? in the URL. Cannonical is a suggetion whereas robots is more of a command. as you can see from this query: https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&pws=0&gl=US&q=site:www.vistastores.com&biw=1366&bih=520#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&pws=0&gl=US&source=hp&q=site:www.vistastores.com%2Fpatio-living-concepts%3F&pbx=1&oq=site:www.vistastores.com%2Fpatio-living-concepts%3F&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=8408l8408l1l8644l1l1l0l0l0l0l65l65l1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=b03d3d8a434daa&biw=1599&bih=795 Google has indexed 132 versions of that single page rather than follow your rel=canonical suggestion. To further enforce this you may be able to use a fancy bit of php code to detect if the url is dynamic and do a robots noindex, noarchive on only the dynamic renderings of the page. This could be done like this: I also believe there are some filtering tools for this right within webmaster tools. Worth a peek if your site is registered. Additionally where you are redirecting non-www subpages to the home page you may instead want to redirect them to their www versions. this can be done in htaccess like this: Redirect non-www to www: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301] This will likely provide both a better user experience as well as a better solution in googles eyes. I'm sure some other folks will come in with some other great suggestions for you as well

The thing is that you have no option 'Default Landing Tab' that pages normally do have. You should find out why that is missing. If you do have the option, this is the way to set the landing page: 1. Go to your page and click 'Edit page' 2. Go to the 'Manage permissions' settings 3. Find the option 'Default Landing Tab' and select the page you wish in the drop down 4. Save changes

You can gather links from non related websites. try get some context around your link i.e. make an article about you product, but links are better than no links Personally I would take high authority brand links on non related sites over lower authority, exact match links on related sites S

i could not find any rel=next or prev in those pages, there was a rel canonical. If you do a rel canonuical then you need to have the content on the canonical page. You can not have a page with ABC the canonical it to a page with XYZ. If you use rel next and prev. the fiorst page will have rel=next the last will have rel=prev, all pages in between will have both. Google will give credit to the first page with only rel=next, all links pointing to any of the pages will pass link juice to that first page. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/view-all-in-search-results.html http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/view-all-in-search-results.html
