Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Woohoo!

Depending on the individual's Facebook profile security settings and their own engagement reach, if they like a page -- not your Facebook page -- it will show in their friends feed, but it's likely not going to be a crazy amount of promotion.

Thanks, Pete!

It shouldn't matter at all. If you're worried the sites are low quality, you might consider no following, but press link pages are pretty common.

I'd also check out BuiltVisible's Schema Guide.

We've also seen links posted in G+ getting crawled more quickly. Not fool proof or guaranteed (or something you should do with a ton of links), but certainly an easy thing for a one-off page you want crawled quickly.

Great to hear that someone from your company can go!

We don't typically allow questions to be deleted. My best suggestion is to go and edit your original post to say that the ticket has been claimed. Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

You also might try posting this on our MozCon Facebook Group. When you do figure out where the ticket is going, just email us at mozcon@moz.com & we'll make the name transfer.

Hi,

I took a quick look at your site, and it appears that you have a problem with category pages. When I took the following text from your site's homepage -- "Minha esposa trabalha como manicure. Tá sempre trabalhando no salão ou atendendo nas residências. Faz tempo que trabalha num salão perto de casa" -- and searched Google, it found 3 instances of it.

All were category level pages. The good news, is this is a pretty common problem for lots of sites, which means there's been a ton written about it. My suggestion would be to noindex those secondary category pages if you aren't going to put unique content on them. Here's a discussion from a similar Q&A post that adds great insight.

Unfortunately, we don't have an ETA for recognizing the new TLDs. This is something we're working on. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We don't seem to be having any issues with this report. Have you tried running it again?

This question was also posted here last Friday.

If you're just looking for tracking, just use standard utm tracking parameters in your interlinking. Tracking code will not mess up your rankings.

Yes, you can a/b test content copy blocks the same as testing which button. However, it will affect your on-page metrics most dramatically, not your rankings. (Which has some ranking signals.)

It sounds to me that your situation is more about convincing your team and higher ups the potential of different marketing methods compared to the current reality of what they're doing.  And to look at some different metrics besides rankings. Check out this blog post from Avinash about the metrics to track instead of rankings for every business size.

A/b testing is definitely a great start to show what could work better. You can always create reports showing potential business that could come in based on those or what you actually wouldn't lose by taking some of those extra pages off your site.

Best of luck!

If you were going to canonicalize, you'd be canonicalizing to the comedian's own websites where the original bio about them probably lives. It can be tricky when using bios, since you want to make sure that's okay with the person. I'd suggest two things: 1) Either rewriting their bios and having them approve the bios before you post them on your site or 2) Adding other info about each comedian besides their regular bios that makes them unique.

To answer your questions, no, it will not improve your rankings. No, it's unlikely to harm it either if implemented correctly.

But the better question is why? Why are you linking to pages in three different sections of your site on every page? What is that doing for the people who are using your site? How is that navigation helping them find what they need on your site? Are people clicking on this links? If so, where are they clicking on them from? If they never click on them from a certain part -- navigation, footer, and sidebar -- why are those links still there?

Primary keyword in that URL example from the Learn SEO section refers not to the most important keyword on your site or the most important topic on your site, but to the most important keyword on that specific page that the URL is pointing to. I believe that's where the confusion lies. Hope this helps.

Glad you like our timeline. Ours is definitely custom coded.
