Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I just started working at this company last month.  We started to add new content to pages like http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/49/-/181/1137/Bridgestone-Motorcycle-Tires.   This is their main site.  Then i realized it also put the new content on their sister site http://www.jakewilson.com/t/52/-/343/1137/Bridgestone-Motorcycle-Tires.    the first site is the main site and I think will get credit for the unique new content.  The second one I do not think will get credit and will more than likely be counted as duplicate content.  We are changing this so it will no longer be the same.  However, I am curious to see ways people think we could fix this issues?  Also is it effecting both sits for just the second one?

Thanks for your input.  We have already tried to implement all of the big ones here in the States.   This is just another one we thought could help and are considering adding .

We are looking into getting the google Trusted badge.  We meet the requirements and now just deciding if it is worth the time to do it now or later.  Has anyone noticed a difference in your organic rankings or PLAs with it.  What about conversion rates?   Any input would be great!

What is your opinion on something like http://www.bikebandit.com/motorcycle-tires/n1348 where they have the text at the top but it only takes a couple lines before it has the option to expand with the "more" option.

We are using it for both.  We want the first two - three lines to be quality content, however my boss does not want to push the products down to much cause he thinks it could hurt conversions.  So by adding the "more" option it is a way we can agree to move the content to the top without having to push the products down to far.  With a new content writer in the house we are now having good quality content around 2-3 paragraphs a page and he thinks that will push the products down to far.

thoughts?

However, by having the text higher up we move our products down and that could lower the conversion rate, right? And isn't having products good quality content too?

Did you ever have a chance to look at the url i sent?

We have an eCommerce site.  We have noticed several of our competitors are moving their text to the top of the page.  How much of a difference to you think it makes in googles eyes to have the text at the top above the products vs bellow them?  Here is an example of how one of them moved the text to the top http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/119/MNGR/Motorcycle-Jackets.aspx

No we have fixed 997 of them and now only 3 show.

We recently did a build to our site and after the build the build one of the softwares that we are using changed.  This caused our server errors to go into the thousands.  right now google webmaster tools gave us a list of top 1,000 pages with errors and we fixed them all is there a way to see the rest of the errors?

Thanks,

I just sent you a private message about it.  Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Besides just avoiding low quality links the best thing to do is only do things you would normally to increase brand awareness.  Only go for quality links that will drive traffic to your site.  They will also help increase your rankings,   Link bait is also a great way to get people to link to your site and share your content too.   Have you looked into doing some Press Releases if you have news worthy things to talk about or quality guest blogging? They are all good ways that will not get you penalized by google.

yes

You seem like you know what you are talking about, you should weigh in on this discussion too http://www.seomoz.org/q/are-my-footer-links-bad.

thanks,

Thanks for your help.

Yes i understand that, I am wondering if google is advanced enough now even if we do not provide the HTML snap shot they will still crawl it etc.
