Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm not sure the best link structure exist. But i usually use 2 different approach for internal cross-linking.

First one is ease to use and useful for database sites, like shops, directories etc. It's simple tree hierarchy with vertical links: home<>category<>object and horizontal links between related objects and categories.

Second one i use for sites with large amount of content. It's more algorithmic and lead to measurable results in my tests. Here is it:

1. Select keyword and target page for this keyword.

2. Search in google: "keyword"  site:mysite.com

3. Google highlight "keyword" in relevant pages text, or part of keyword.

4. what you need is link to target page via this highlighted keywords, or if there are part of keyword - update text to exactly match, or add additional sentence.

Usually i use no more than 10 links with each anchor, and it increase ranking on 1-3 positions. Be carefully - too many links is not good, per link efficiency drop down when target page link from more the 10 pages with same anchor..

Yes, but small amount. It's not critical.

Make 301 for all pages and don't worry. Link juice will flow to your new pages.

Do you really want to double your work? Parse and later remove forums content?

I think will be much better rewrite yahoo answers, of course it need more time and resources, but your content will be unique. And you've got search traffic much faster. It's ease to find cheap rewrites, who fill your forum very fast.

You can try http://www.socialmarker.com/, as i know it's free. I've prefer syndd  for bookmarking to main sites, because it has integrated spinner and other great features.

But are you really need to add you pages in ALL social bookmarks?

First way will work great. And you can always update you content later.

Search is always case insensitive - http://me.lt/7ZVGv.

What it can really influence is  CTR for SERP. By the way #1 site for your example show up for me.

But be carefully to avoid "looks like spam" snippet for you site.

keyword.com is totally unreachable at this stage.

I've proposed that google limit number of my urls on 1st page. Before mysite.com is not #1. Have you any thoughts about this?

Anyway now i am going to keep all #4 pages and use videos, Thank you for analysis.

Easiest way is add url here http://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=google%20add%20url&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Faddurl%2F&ei=tpfLTtzfNIf0-gb7i_nSDg&usg=AFQjCNEAk-snUt37grGpxHVUfBBq-DPG6g&sig2=YV7PFrWKmA7ygq6R9UrJWg&cad=rjt

Satellite-builders said it's work perfect)

Also  there are special tools for this, if you need to add many pages at once and don't won't to type capchas.

Agree,

There are many possible  variations of same URLS, not under site owner control - different ?parametrs etc. So better add cannonical to each page.

Hi Mozers,

Can anybody help me with this.

For "keyword phrase"  SERP looks like this:

1. keyword.com/page1

2. keyword.com/page2

3. Mysite.com/page1

4. mysite.com/page2 ...

13. Mysite.com/page3

14. Mysite.com/page4

Is it possible to include Mysite.com/page3-4 both to the top 4th-5th, or better merge this pages and promote only one?

Thanks.

There are both stop words, and most SE's ignore them. they apply in SERP only if you search exactly "and".

So (Holiday Inn and Suites)=(Holiday Inn & Suites) , but if they search ("Holiday Inn and Suites ")  he find only page with exactly phrase.

You can block on server side all IP except Google bot for any file, but it may lead to ban, because of cloaking.

To answer this questions needed to understand why google have implement "canonical" tag.

Before, to determine is content  duplicated or not. Google bot downloaded page content and via complex algorithm compare it with other page in index. As i think there are special bot  running through indexed pages database and searching duplicates (that's why copy-paste sites take ban not right after indexation but in some time after).

Tag "Canonical" make this task more easier, Google bot  don't need to download page with duplicate content, just need to check section, and may be hash or something like "hashsumm" for . So there are no necessity to download and store same data few times(delete stored data is hard for high-load data centers).   It's more effective and fast way to crawl large data sets like web. Also link and url related data, i think, should be added to primary page data set.

I've made a test on this, Google download much less data if the page has rel="canonical" to other page, compare to primary page.

So according this answers for your questions are:

1. Link just flow as usual's, all link data for duplicated pages merge with data for primary page. So PR may slightly decrease in some cases,by the way if you have links from same pages to both  primary and duplicated pages. But impact is not critical, almost similar to 301.

2. No, because Google bot check not only canonical. About this i have one more point, Google is statistical SE, and rate pages on topics, so in you case  even if canonical will added to pages, it will not help you rank better for both terms.
