Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Just a very quick look for my penny's worth: The 'Read More' links on this page http://www.zulu.org.za/archive are then being 301 redirected rather than then new URL being used on the 'Read More' also some of the archive pages do not appear have any copy in such as http://www.zulu.org.za/index.php?view_page+180295

The sitemap link in the page footer 404's

The contact us in the page footer (http://www.zulu.org.za/contact-us) is redirected to http://www.zulu.org.za/archive/contact-us-F30503

I'm slightly confused as the question title is 'Problems with Wordpress and Yoast SEO Plugin' however you then say 'the plugin was somehow stopped but not this time'. Are you having an issue with the plugin or could it possible be something else you have done either on or off site?

Think of it this way if you already rank for 'Townscript' with the domain name being a match. Why would you need to use this word throughout the whole site titles. I would recommend using it on some generic pages such as 'About Townscript' etc.

Use the title for something better, something more descriptive (wow just think of all that extra space!).

Excellent that you have used Canonical which should be enough of a signal however personally I also use the robots.txt file to disallow the dynamic element of the URL ie ?xz=

You might want to start here: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/how-search-engines-operate

In your example, what position did this result appear and I going to assume to did this as a 'non personalised search'?

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

I think you may need to elaborate a little on your question as to why the page goes from http to https ie for a cart checkout etc?

1. 'Will this get me into trouble creating duplicate content with the main category page? Should I only have  the main category indexed and "no-index, follow" all the product attribute pages? '

I don't feel that you have anything to worry about here, however having an extra element of descriptive text would help on the sub category pages ie. on chainsofgold.co.uk/earrings/studs/   etc..

2. 'Can I link to those product attribute pages without the risk of getting accused of creating duplicate content?'

Linking is fine however to ensure the search engines do not consider those extra parameters you should filter them via robots.txt ie Disallow: /?filter_gold-type OR Disallow: /?filter_* (if all your filters begin with '?filter_')

You should also link your sitemap from your robots.txt file

I guess it depends on what works for you as any of the platforms you mentioned are capable of selling most physical products.

I've tried out quite a few (not tried Prestashop sorry Lesley) and my personal favourite is WooCommerce, If you can work with php, I suggest you create a child theme and make all code changes in the child functions.php/css then you have a framework that is fairly simple to upgrade.

Google bans sites (domain names) rather than IP addresses. However if you are thinking of moving your site so https then you would need a dedicated IP address. Yoast has published an interesting article here Moving your website to https / SSL: tips & tricks perhaps that's what they are referring to.

No, I would recommend that you fix the underlying issue. I can see from your sitemap that you still have the URL's with commas in.

Personally I would use screamingfrog.co.uk to find your crawl errors as you will not need to wait a week for the next report.

So since you tidied the URL's has moz crawled your site again or are you waiting for the next crawl?

Where are you seeing the errors being reported? If you have corrected the problem with the error URL's and there are no links to theses URL's then there should not be a problem.

If however you are seeing theses URL's in the search results then yes a 301 redirect would be appropriate.

A 301 redirect would be sufficient as this is effectively telling the search engine that the page has moved permanently.

Hi, I am assuming that coriate.com is the web designer, if so they should have blocked search engine/public access to the site via something like Htpasswd.

The sub domain is appearing in the search results so yes I would recommend a 301 redirect.

Now I'm confused, you said "But it's not visible on front end side (except the Facebook comment iFrame)." Then "the hidden text is not inside the iFrame"

In the source code do you actually see the word iFrame?

Generally speaking anything in an iFrame will not be indexed for your site and therefore will provide no SEO benefit. So if the hidden text is within the iFrame this will have no positive or negative effect for your site.

A quick test for this would be to test your site in http://seo-browser.com and compare it to the same page source code (in browser right click 'View Page Source' or 'View Source' depending on browser) as I'm not sure what elements are being hidden

Your link will not work as it is within your account. Perhaps an image may work better

What's your thought behind the question. In my opinion telling Google that this is a no-follow link indicates that the receiving site is not trusted.

If your happy to link to them then you should be happy to allow follow - if that's an actual term
