Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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.

Hi Kyle

Had a similar issue with a site that used filters (CS Cart) and used the robots.txt file to resolve it.

Mine ended up being quite extensive but as an example:

Disallow: /?more_filters=
Disallow: /?subcats=
Disallow: /*?features_hash=

Looking at your screenshot you may be successful with:

Disallow: /*?filter_

NOTE:

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

You may also be able to accomplish this via the taxonomies section of SEO Yoast.

Personally I use campaignmonitor.com for my clients. I have also used mailchimp.com on occasions (free account).

Joomla integration - www.campaignmonitor.com/integrations/CMSubscriber-joomla

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.

Hi John

PM me if you like, I'll have a look for you. Promise not to repeat the domain name.

Hi John

Could you provide the address so we can look please. Would be making wild guesses else.

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?

Hi Sherry

Simple answer - Yes you can manage all your clients with one account.

The clients still have to verify the Google places listing either by phone or post card.

I normally do is setup the account and if Google wants to verify by phone I give the client a quick call first to let them know that they will shortly receive an automated call.

Call your client back to collect the verification code and your done.

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

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 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.
