Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello jonaz,

Here's the short answer: dashes are best.

Next best might be underscores.

For the long answer, check this post out: http://www.seomoz.org/q/hyphens-v...

Hope this helps!

Start by making sure all of your WordPress themes, plugins, etc... are all up-to-date. It might also be a good idea to re-install if you have a backup of everything (including the database).

I'm not sure what is flagging as Malware, but it also might be a good idea to perform searches on the names of all of your plugins/themes used to see if any have been related to Malware in the past.

You can click on a person's name to view their profile and to get an option to send a private message.

Yeah, I don't think you'll go wrong with "en". Glad to help, hope that answers your question

I believe you are correct, yes. I put canonical links in place for my content and my duplicate content errors went away. So I'd look into it more if I were you.

Before you cancel read the above. Ryan is exactly right about the Q&A forums. $99/month to have your questions answered by peers in the know? That's cheap!

Another thing I will be keeping in mind is, as a Pro member, I get $600 off MozCon 2013. That's like getting the Pro membership for a year at 1/2 price.

This is a good question though and I think you're going to see a lot of people answering, "Yes! It does provide value."

Install WordPress SEO and you can update the SEO page title and description for every one of your pages. Here's a link:

http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

If you don't understand how, Yoast has an FAQ here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/faq/

I suggest reading up on it and using it to solve these problems. It's very quick to set up and easy to use.

Hi Michelle, "ll-cc" stands for "language-countrycode". So in the case of English, you can use "en-us" for English United States or "en-gb" for British English. I don't believe case matters (I have seen "en-US" and "en-GB" used too).

For your question, yes you can use:

You could also use:

Either one will work fine :). Which language are you targeting?

Here is some more reading from w3.org that seems more up-to-date, though I think you would be fine using one of the above methods.

If you have Duplicate Content errors in your campaign, you may still have problems.

You may need to confirm your rel canonicals are set up correctly. Just because they are present, it doesn't mean they are referencing the right location(s) to fixing duplicate content issues.

What type of site do you have?

If it's WordPress driven, do you use Yoast's WordPress SEO Plugin?

This is likely what you are looking for, but I don't think this is causing you any SEO problems.

SEOmoz has a page on the topic of duplicate content that might help: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/duplicate-content

Using a canonical link may fix your issue for when you provide URL parameters for tracking purposes. Try that.

Hope this helps!

Read up on this Webmaster Tools guideline: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66353

Note the following from the guideline if there is a very important reason for why your developer wants to use CSS to move the text off the page:

"However, not all hidden text is considered deceptive. For example, if your site includes technologies that search engines have difficulty accessing, like JavaScript, images, or Flash files, using descriptive text for these items can improve the accessibility of your site."

If there is not a very important reason, and even if there is, suggest they populate the ALT attribute of the image with the text instead.

Hope this helps!

Great news William! Good job. I imagine the wait time is going to be at least whatever your normal crawl rate is.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Yeah definitely!

Ahh OK. I don't think you're missing anything. Facebook will use a thumbnail, yes.

In that case, I don't think there's much you can do if people are just liking your photo and not clicking the link. Perhaps including more text describing the benefits of clicking through would help them click and then include sharing capabilities on the post will influence some of the visitors to like/share.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Use an image in your post and then open graph markup on your blog pages. Then when you post the link to your blog post to Facebook, Facebook will pull in the image from your post and maintain the link to your post (not the image).

Here are a few posts for how to do it:

You should be able to search by the filename and/or by the Alt text used to describe the image. I would start with the filename. If the filename is generic (e.g. 001.jpg), then it will be close to impossible to find, and this is a very good example for why your filenames should be more descriptive.

Hope this helps!

Must understanding is you can create multiple Business Pages. You should be able to do that by visiting this URL: https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php (when logged in).

You may want to use a different name for each page being sure to include the business name.

For example: For a business named "Pizza Place" with 3 locations west, south, and east, the pages might be named "Pizza Place West", "Pizza Place South", and "Pizza Place East", respectively. Then use the appropriate address on each page.

From what I know of the Business Pages, you can't have more than one address per page.

Hope this helps!

Are you talking about the "crawl notices" in your campaign summary?

If so, those are just notices letting you know the crawler "saw" them. You can review those notices to be sure your canonical URLs are set up correctly, but other than that you shouldn't need to do anything.

Canonical tags are used to cover these duplicate content situations so you don't need to "eliminate" pages. I think you are good. Perhaps someone else can join the discussion for further clarification too.

Hope this helps!

Jinx! You owe me a diet coke.
