Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi LW

I agree with Mark re archiving products. Although our products don't expire as quickly as yours appear to do I use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalone-google-sitemap-generator.html on a cron job to keep our sitemap fresh.

I also exclude some of our over dynamic URLs using this tool from appearing in the sitemap.

Good article here on Moz that may interest you: Using the Correct Hreflang Tag: A New Generator Tool

Here are some good answers - http://moz.com/community/q/good-rank-tracker-tool

Sergio mentioned Child Themes. Personally I would recommend the use of frameworks that support child themes, easier to upgrade, easier to make changes. In the long run just easier.

Also Sergio thanks for the PageNavi suggestion.

Hi Antonio

Re the plugin l recommend using is SEO Yoast - http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/which normally integrates nicely into most themes.

Personally I don't use meta keywords as I feel they have no benefit (well only to your competition)

Hi Zeeshan

Are you saying that you have found duplicate pages on your site or that SEOmoz is reporting duplicate pages that you cannot find?

However if you are simply asking is duplicate content is an issue? then here is your answer - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world

Hi Brian

I think if you read your question again "I've just done some quick research and it doesn't seem like many of our competitors or even any in our industry is on there." why would you not go for it? Zag whilst everyone else is zigging.

I do like to give new themes a chance to bed in and get some feedback first so I agree with you on that one. Re the cost this could be an attempt to get some sales in on the theme to boost it's popularity.

Side note: I have just started using this one http://themeforest.net/item/impreza-retina-responsive-wordpress-theme/6434280 as it has the visual composer built in (a separate plugin which you can further extend - http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431), it's well written and I am raving about it. Better that Avada in my personal opinion. (No affiliate link, no personal or commercial interest in my recommendation)

Sure you know already - Use a child theme

Hi, We had the same issue. Each product having many variations each creating it's own URL, what I ended up doing was to have a single product per page and represent all it's variations on that single page. Easier to demonstrate:

http://www.reddiseals.com/product/brighton-fastener/

Also the reviews are on this page which creates the schema.

Hope that helps.

Good Question.

Google+ allows page management however I'm unsure about Google+ Local.

If I'm reading this correctly - https://support.google.com/places/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=17104 then it may be a problem.

Anyone else got experience in this area?

Have you looked at GravityForms if you are working with WordPress they have a quiz add-on here: http://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/quiz/

An interesting article on moz relating to your question here: The First Link Counts Rule and the Hash Sign - Does it Change PR Sculpting?

I'm sure wayback I had an issue with apple devices not being happy with the # not having a slash.

index.html#saving-water didn't work but this index.html/#saving-water did. You might want to check it out or I may have just dreamt it!

Hi, it helped us rank better for each product page. It allowed me to focus on a single product rather than variations of a product and made our site easier to navigate for the visitor.

The original question was just referring to Google Places and not Google+. I manage twenty plus Google Places account without any issues, however I also agree with Andy. If in the long term the client wants to take control of the Google+ then his idea is better.

I am currently trailing a tool www.mention.com

Hi,

I picked up a tool seo-browser.com from this post http://moz.com/community/q/what-recommendations-do-you-have-for-the-seo-of-this-site#reply_237515 by David Kley

It's a bit like a Fetch as Google https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/158587?hl=en

Unfortunately yes you will need to 301 the subdomains back to the folder structure.

Hi
Looking at the screen shot I assume that you are using Google analytics custom campaign parameters.
To resolve this issue I used the robots.txt file adding the following

Disallow: /*?utm_

NOTE:
Be very careful when blocking search engines. Test and test again!

Still using changedetection.com myself. I find it easy to setup and fairly reliable.

Hi,If your using a CMS then there may be an extension to create the html version. What CMS are you using?
