Welcome to the Q&A Forum

hey thanks - perhaps this is a grey issue? I have been told that I should not link from my mainwebiste to other sites - when I look around at other e-commerce websites I see very few links on other e-commerce main websites either -

hey thanks for the reply - yes i understand your point but my concern is that perhaps all my linking out to other websites from my blog may remove the strength of my main webiste (if I were to combine the two websites).

Sorry to ask this question again but I left out some background info......

My blog sits at www.gardenbeet.wordpress.com

I have been using the blog as my main linking page for my main website at www.gardenbeet.com  - the blog links to relevant sites in both blog articles and on the side of the blog.

The blog links to industry websites that in turn link to my main website at www.gardenbeet.com.

If I was to move the wordpress blog to my own domain will my mainwebsite loose its strength. Will all those blog links pour my link juice out of my website?

Will the current three way links become two way links and thereby lesson their linking importance?

Is the previous recommendation (combine the blog and the main website) still the best course of action?

Should I keep the two sites or perhaps close entries on the existing blog and start another on my own domain?

thanks for your time AGAIN

If I transfer my blog to my website will that mean all my link juice for my main website will be given to all the links i have on my blog.I link to heaps of people from my blog

Also many of my links from my blog point to domains that point to my main website -

given this info would you still advise to move my blog from wordpress to my own domain?

hey thanks Marcus - well OK it will be moved - but not by a happiness engineer as my server does not sit at one of their preferred locations - never mind - unhappiness here I come

hi thanks for your response but can you explain why you would do this?

My blog  sits on the wordpress domain http://gardenbeet.wordpress.com/ - it has good page rank and has around 300-400 visits per day  - should i move it to my website or Should I start a new blog?

i have a page set up for it on my website but it now has good rank http://www.gardenbeet.com/content/design-blog.html - and now want to keep this URL

am a bit confused - what is the best strategy in terms of SEO?

thanks - i dont know why it was disabled - it probably caused another problem - we have had many!! will give reply to developer and see what he says

appreciate your time

HelloMy website http://www.gardenbeet.com has been rebuilt using prestacart and there are 158 duplicate title and meta descriptions being reported by google.My developer advised the following Almost all the duplicates are due to the same page being accessible at the root and following the category heading. e.g;

/75-vegetable-patio-planter-turquoise.html
/patio-planters/75-vegetable-patio-planter-turquoise.html

This is hard-wired into PrestaShop. Was the Canonical module (now disabled) responsible for the confusion by not including the category name?

The Googlebot shouldn't be scanning the root versions now. I don't believe this to be a serious issue but I'd recommend a second opinion from someone more SEO savvy just to be sure.Opinions??
