Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Couple of things. We have 20k pages or so. Individually redirecting that much would be a pain.

After working with some people we now have it to where www.neat-stuff.com/235425243 category on the new site redirects to www.neat-stuff.com/category on the new site correctly. Same thing with neatstuff.com/4544564 to www.neatstuff.com/category on the new site. Shouldn't it be to one?

For the home page both www.neatstuff.com and www.neat-stuff.com work but there is no redirect. When I run a checker it says direct link. I think we are being shown as a duplicate site.

On our old site the categories were /52352524 and one of the things we did on the new site was actually give them names so it is now /category WIll that still work with that?

Wanted to add that most of our current redirects are done dynamically because we use asp.net so if you go to category 34234 it will take you to the correct /category through a 301 redirect.

It is hosted on a Windows server. Do you have a similar fix for IIS?

I work for a company that has a domain that is something like www.neat-stuff.com but most people just use www.neatstuff.com without the dash. The redirect for the homepage works fine.

We recently launched a new site and if you use www.neat-stuff.com/category it redirects from the old site to the new site just fine.

However if you use www.neatstuff.com/category it does not properly redirect to www.neat-stuff.com/category.

How do I fix that?

I am looking at the links to a competitors site and they have a ton of links from things like this http://www.directoryws.com/ Is it worth submitting to something like this? It has a 58 domain authority from Moz.

Our site was done with asp.net and a lot of scripting. I want to see what Google can see and what it can't. What is the best tool that duplicates Googlebot? I have found several but they seem old or inaccurate.

I have read that page and this is why I have the confusion. The URLs will not be close, the content will be very different, but the keywords will be similar. If I sell widgets and also have a blog post about widgets the content is very different between the two but bot have similar keywords.

The URLs will be very different. Current structure is www.site.com/category/item The blog will be www.site.com/blog/blogposttitle the URLs will not be close but the keywords throughout the page will be.

I work at an ecommerce site and we are in the process setting up a blog. Do I need to use rel canonical what talking about a certain category? If I sell widgets and write a blog about widgets should I use that tag? Or is there something else I should do?

We have a large e-commerce website made with .net. so all of our category and item pages are made dynamic. Most things like title, some of the words and a few other things are done with scripts. I want to be able to target certain words and have more customized words on certain pages. Has anyone dealt with this? I know .net is pretty common so I can't be a unique case.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank You

Before I look at the quality of the site, I need to know what sites I should be looking at. I can't find any sort of resource for that. For personal use I search the web on a regular basis and have used both about.com and wikihow.com. I know there are other sites like that I have not used. Is there any list out there of sites like these?

We will be working on blogs in the future. Right now I am looking for alternative ideas such as WIkihow. Is it better to try Wikihow or about.com? What are the other comparable sites?

Yup. That is the same stuff I have read everywhere. Was hoping for something different.

I am looking at starting to do some link building for my site. I have already done directory listing. What are my options for link building without blogs? Things like Wikihow?

I ran that but it only told me about what links the page had going out from it now coming in. After just checking tons of links I found it but for future reference I would still like a more efficient way.

I ran IIS Seo toolkit and it found about 40 pages that I have no idea how they exist. What tool can I use to find out what internal link is linking to them so I can fix them or get rid of them?

We has the same problem, after a lot of research we figured it it was scripts. If we had a script on a page it counted the page twice most of the time. The Seomoz crawler isn't as advanced as the Googlebot so it can't do quite as much.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank You.
