Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Make sure then that whatever backlink building you do, it'd be for domain.com/language, not just domain.com

Hi there.

It's quite simple - Moz crawling resources are way smaller than Google's. So, instead of crawling every single possible page and link, MOZ pays attention to top pages on your (and others) domains, as well as they look at domains, which are more correlated to rankings, rather than every single possible one.

Hi there.

If I understand your situation correctly - now filters for products have actual urls and you want to use filters with ajax on the same url - then yes, just do redirects. However, you can't do redirect to ajax filter, so you'd be redirecting to categories, I guess. 4xx surely is not the way to go, as well as option 1 you suggesting, since it would result in 404s.

Maybe canonical links could help - not sure though. I say go with 301s.

Hi there.

There are not many ways for you to get the domain back:

1. Buy it from current owner;
2. If the domain name is complete match of company's name or company's product, and this name is trademarked/copyrighted, you can get the domain back through court, since it would be a domain squatting by former employee.

But, if there is no trademark and domain was purchased legally - I believe there is no way for  you guys to get it back, but buy it from that guy.

P.S. Why didn't you have on automatic renewal?!

Hi there.

Do any of those navigation links have nofollow attributes or 302 or 4xx statuses?

Also it might be due to crawling history on your website. OSE relies on data from MOZscape crawls, which means that if your website is fairly new or haven't been indexed often enough for whatever reasons, it will be showing fewer pages. links etc overall. Also, since MOZbot has the crawl limit per domain, and you have thousands of pages, the issue might be that mozbot reaching limit before crawling every page.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

Well, just adding a video on a page will not attract any links. It's the same as building super cool looking office. It will make people feel better when they go in, and they might spend a little more time there, but that's it. Internet Marketing is much more than just adding a video, especially link building. If you have like a channel and you are adding videos all the time and they are awesome, you start building audience, following, brand etc., plus add awesome UX&UI, relevant text and image content, also do other types of internet marketing like social media marketing - maybe only then just putting up a video on a website will attract links (but most of them gonna be from current followers anyway).

Now, I'd like to say that adding a video is not a bad idea at all, just it don't expect any backlinks by just doing so.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

What's the link? Are you sure it's actually not indexed, rather than just dropped in rankings? Also, you say that you added canonical link. I assume that you have added canonical link to page which was ranking? If there is no robots.txt issue, are meta robots used - it could be the problem.

Hi.

Interesting, I didn't see that article. Well, then, I guess, it's matter of preference.

I'd still go with different sitemaps. cause managing them individually allows script and code based automation.

Hi there.

Well, as for best practices - you got it covered - remove/substitute underscores, remove redundant directories, make urls readable and understandable by users, implement redirects for pages, which are being renamed.

As for removing extensions from files - i'm not sure it has any effect on SEO or user experience at all. But no, you don't have to create new format pages. Basically what mod_rewrite does is when somebody requests a page, server says "I gonna server you this file with this name, because you sent me this specific request". Just be aware that there is no way to access both original url and rewritten url at the same time, since it would create duplicate issues.

As for rankings affect - as long as all redirects are done properly and urls are targeting the keywords on the page - you should be fine.

Hi there.

Your link doesn't work.

Anyway. Youtube video are embedded iframes, and as we know, iframes are considered pretty much as a part of another website, inserted into your website's page. I assume that price thingy is the same. So, no matter if you lazy load it or not, iframe will not be considered as a part of YOUR content, especially not as unique content for sure.

So, make sure that you have plenty of another content on those pages - text, images, whatever. Otherwise even from the user experience perspective it would be not the best page to be on.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

I found this list of all available locales, if locales you're trying to do are in this list, then go ahead, otherwise it won't work.

P.S. List might be old and updated by now, but i don't think so.

Hi there.

you have inline css code, line#173:

#content a:hover, #sidebar a:hover, .social a:hover, .member-bar a:hover, #home-search a:hover,.paging_full_numbers a:hover, .placester_properties a:hover, #content .person-name a, #content .post-title a,#sidebar .widget-title a {

1. font-family: arial !important;
2. color: #fcf9f9 !important;

_}_This is what makes anchors become invisible on hover.Exactly the same reason for your titles not showing up. because titles are links and they are that "white color. The same inline css - line #181.Cheers.P.S. I recommend you hire a front-end developer, who understands this stuff, otherwise you gonna waste countless hours scouting web for answers which don't exist.

Hi there.

Well, here is my question - how can you be sure that traffic from Bing is related to sitemaps resubmission? How about, simply, rankings? Or one of tons of other reasons?

Sure, I did this: http://bfy.tw/2hTu

Yes, I believe so, that's the only rewrite you'd need not to mess up rankings.

I don't know if one of codes is better than another. All I know that my piece of code is working and i haven't used the one you wrote. It seems ok to me, but just test it. If it works, I don't think there is any difference.

Hi there.

Basically, canonical link tells search engines to move all the ranking weight to a page, linked by canonical link. Therefore if google thinks that page A should be ranked for a given keyphrase, but this page A has a canonical link to another page B, page B will be considered as a ranking nominee and page A will be discarded. Which means that all meta data and other things WILL be taken from page B.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

Everything seems good to me. Just make sure that you use proper hreflangs or canonicals for content, which can potentially be duplicate, make sure that you have proper/correct sitemap and there are no problems with crawlability and accessability.

Good luck

I'm saying rename files first and do rewrite for removing extensions.

You will have to do rewrite for replacing underscores with hyphens anyway, just for redirect purposes.

So, rename files from underscores to hyphens; do rewrite rule for underscore to hyphens to insure old pages are being redirected; do another rewrite for removing file extensions. In som time (2-3-4 months) when old file names (with underscores) are out of google index, delete first rewrite.

Howdy.

I'm crazy about loading times optimization

So, the strategy is to have first visual within 800ms. and everything visually available at the scrolling pace. That's why deferring and lazy loading is so popular.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I believe if there is no visual within 3 sec, there is like 80%+ of bounce.

_So using /pt-br/ is fine, what really matter is letting Google know the language/location through search console and other measures what language/location the page are targeting. _

Correct, also, do look into meta tag called "hreflang":

https://moz.com/learn/seo/hreflang-tag

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en

I'm not following what you mean in the last sentence: Unless you use some type of CMS, then you can just use RewriteRule or something to only display needed URL.

Most CMS systems have some type of functionality or plugins, which would let you create content in different languages within the same admin, so you wouldn't have to physically create all subfolders etc. So, whenever CMS does that, it would give you URL, but you might use htaccess rewriterule without redirect to make URL look like you want. Just google "rewrite rule without redirect" and you'll see what i'm talking about.

Hope this clarifies a bit
