Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If the pages are worth the effort of 301'ing them, I wouldn't worry about page speed for them. Besides link authority from those old pages, you should also look for traffic, since 301s are actually more about seamless experience for the people coming to your site.

You can definitely use Fresh Web Explorer (part of your Pro subscription) to track and get alerts.

Hi Gareth,

Most email companies function on a monthly fee, which then is factored in how many emails you send per month through them. Many companies choose to separate out their transactional emails and their marketing emails to keep costs down.

Some great ESPs out there: MailChimp, My Emma, Blue Hornet, StrongView, and Marketo, just to name a few.

It's not a secret that Google can use Chrome anyway that it wants for data collecting. Just read the TOS.

If I was in your shoes, even though your canonicals are working (great step #1), I'd be inclined to clean up the URLs are much as possible and 301 any duplicate pages that you can get approval for. You'll always want to have your canonicals coded in regardless. But having less actually pages will save you in other areas - content audits, Google bot and other bots crawl time, space on your server, confusion for customers, etc. Less can be more in this case.

We are currently in the process of revising our community etiquette, which will hopefully more explicitly cover some undesired behaviors that it doesn't. Though the current one does cover spammy thumbs.

Okay, that is extra weird. It could be that GWT hasn't update your information since you made the changes. Since everywhere else is telling it's correct -- especially the fetch tool -- then you should wait a few more days and see if it updates.

Hi Darcy,

Yeah, if it's still showing as a soft 404, there's still something wrong. I'd try using fetch and render as Google bot and see what happens.

Best of luck!

I'd check to make sure your 301s were done correctly. If they are showing up as soft 404s, they are probably implemented wrong.

URLs always help our community come up with more specific answers for your site!

While we don't keep a list of those who use our tools, we do have a recommended list of agencies that we trust to do great work.

This will still get you hit with a duplicate content penalty. Each page needs to have unique content on it, if you are trying to target different locations.

It'd be super helpful if you could share your site URL, then our community can get even more specific with answers.

At Moz, we've considered using one to better serve our content. Many allow you to "buy out" the ads and only show your own content.

Yeah, Dropbox links expire. Here you go.

It's really hard to say without information about your company and the competitor that you're concerned about. My suspicion would be that the ranking has to do with how Facebook judges the pages, not Google.

Are you seeing this when someone "likes" your page?

When I copied your link and posted it to my Facebook, it worked just fine, and I'm not seeing it.

In the Open Graph meta tags, used for better social sharing, you specific the URL there. Which means, you wouldn't need to change your canonicals, just your open graph tags.

Also, Facebook can be weird due to caching, and they have an entire debugging tool to help you make your page show up correctly.

If the car is a completely new model, part of marketing's greater job is to create a market with PR and make it a keyword people were searching for. In 1995, no one was searching for Prius, for example.

Moderator note: Just so you know, this isn't a Moz tool. It's likely someone in our community has used it and can help you. But I'd edited the category to reflect that. Thanks!

It would be super helpful if you could share your current domain.
