Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Darin I appreciate your answer and will look to put this in place.

Best wishes,

Dean

I managed to snap up a domain last October that was previously being used by people to create online resumes.

On this domain I have created a site that allows businesses to have a short web address that they then use to send their customers to. This short address displays a list of review sites that the customers can choose from to leave a review on the business, ie GMB, Facebook (basically any established reviews site) etc.
The problem I have is that there are so many old links that are pointing to the site referencing the previous resume business and I have three issues:

Many people blindly sign up thinking it’s the resume business because they read it on another site who’s link they followed.

The sites that list my domain are mainly job or resume related sites.

I have the previous business customers still with their personalised links leading back to the site that I currently 404.

The site in question is https://re.vu

Any assistance or advice would be gratefully received.

Hi FVdBeuken,

Just tested it with WordPress Version 4.4.2 & Yoast SEO Version 3.0.7 and all still works fine.
Make sure you follow the instructions carefully and let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Dean

Possibly a little more information is required to receive an answer. Are you looking for freelancers or to offer your services or perhaps your looking for a new job?

Thanks for the heads up on Session Cam Amelia, not see that one before. I have used a similar service before namely ClickTale but that got a bit pricey.

The setup was easy, I did ask a few question and the support was awesome so first impression are good (starting to sound like I'm affiliated, I'm not just like it when I receive a good service)

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

Hi,

Have you checked the source code to see it the alt tag is actually there?

ie in firefox/chrome > right click > view page source

Looking for something like:

If it is there then perhaps you need to wait for Moz to re crawl the site, if not and it's definitely on the image alt in wordpress media then you may need to look at your theme. Establish if the theme utilises the alt element and if not then you may need to add it yourself (via a child theme preferably)

Good article on Moz: Should I Change My URLs for SEO in particular number 4 re Keyword Stuffing

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

Hi Faye,

Yes with custom taxonomies. Familiarise yourself with 'Basic diagram on taxonomies and their relationships in Wordpress' over at http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies and also look at Taxonomy Generator here http://generatewp.com/taxonomy/ for a quick way.

There are also plugins such as http://wp-types.com/ that will allow you to do all this without coding.

Hi Faye,

Sorry for going off on a tangent. Personally I would go with the following (to avoid the 301 completely):

http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/ as a parent page

http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/verona as a child page

Then use categories to identify the colours as these are the product variants

Or switch it about to suit yourself, however I think the parent / child / category is the way forward unless you wish to create another taxonomy which is easy for any decent coder.

With custom taxonomies you can create whatever configuration you wish.

Hi,

Firstly I would ask myself, what would I want to see as a person looking for this product. Am I searching for the brand, the type of flooring or the colour

Do people know what engineered, prefinished, reclaimed wood is when looking for flooring, is verona only ever available as Dark Engineered Wood? if so then why have such along url structure.

Rather than:
http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/darks-blacks/verona/

Perhaps:
http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/verona

OR
http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/verona-flooring

Are you referring to the GA dashboard as this can be customised to show any widgets?

If you are referring to GA in general then the percentages are calculated as a percentage of your overall sessions for the selected time period.

Hi,

There is the same question here on moz: Duplicate Content and URL Capitalization

Thomas,

That's an awesome tool, thank you for sharing.

Hi,
Lines containing only a comment are discarded completely, and therefore do not indicate a record boundary however you may need to remove the line break (not 100% sure but worth testing):

User-agent: *
Disallow: /product/
Disallow: /media/bcc.xml

Hi,

I don't believe you can use GA Exit tracking to determine what domain the user visited next without using a link on your site to track the outbound links. I can not think of any third party tools to complete this tracking.

Hi,

What type of website are you running i.e static html, php based such as Wordpress etc?

Cheers

Personally I would go fully qualified links ie xyz.com/blah.html.

Yoast has a good post here about the subject - https://yoast.com/relative-urls-issues/
