Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, Miriam.  Sometimes it's good to have a third party confirm what you already know the correct answer should be.  Appreciate it.

Our client used to have a listing in each city, but after updating the addresses they were forever under review.  Google said that businesses serving customers at their locations can only list their primary office.

Back when this client had multiple city listings, all addresses but one were UPS boxes.  If they are to change back to "No, all customers come to the business location," can they once again submit a listing for each city using these addresses?

Yes, I realize they are UPS boxes, but they insist on being listed for each city.

Thank you for your reply, Alan.

To confirm, the pages I listed in my initial post have nothing but product listings on each of them.  Some pages have only a few products.  The client already has a self-referencing canonical tag on each of those pages, but is asking about canonicalizing everything to /BRAND

Any additional feedback would be helpful.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

Quick question:  one of our clients has an e-commerce site with a very poor canonical tag setup and thousands of pages of duplicate content.

Let's use this as an example:

BRAND > Category > Type > Color
Four separate pages/URLs.

The BRAND page lists all products.
The Category page lists all BRAND products for that category.
The Type page lists all BRAND products of a specific type in that category.
The Color page lists all BRAND products of a specific type in that category of a specific color.

Anyway, these generate four separate URLs:

/BRAND
/BRAND/Category
/BRAND/Category-Type
/BRAND/Category-Type-Color

Avoiding duplicate content and product listings, I would appreciate your proposed canonicalization strategy/feedback.

Hey guys, is there a way to do these things?

1. Paste a list of URLs into a Google Docs spreadsheet and get the main metrics for each domain (like domain authority and page authority) pulled into the spreadsheet using OSE's API? I know it can be done, but has someone done it already? And if you have, would you please share the link?

2. Do a Google search and see the DA and PA for all the domains below each result. SEOQuake does a good job with this but they don't show SEOmoz's metrics.

3. Is there a better way to check for keyword difficulty than pasting 5 keywords at a time in the SEOmoz tool? Is there an API for this? What about a Google spreadsheet?

Thank you so much!

They have a new site, no links, no content, their page isn't optimized for this keyword (it's not even one on the page or their page title)... They only have 5 incoming links with the keyword in it, but its competitors have way more. Can someone solve this mystery?
