DMOZ doesn't have any value nowadays. I would prefer to concentrate on other areas to improve.
Use "og:url" with URL of the page itself and "og:description" to take description from the individual pages.
After Google released rel="next" and rel="prev", usage of canonical for non identical pages is not advisable.
Site performance didn't improve according to GWT.
Is there any Google preferred IT infrastructure list? - May be expecting too much.
FYI, previous infrastructure was managed by normal ISP.
Didn't submit any new sitemap. But crawled pages per day increased around 3 times.
Thanks for your time.
Checked performance and it didn't improve.
Previous infrastructure was managed by normal ISP. Now migrated to enterprise service provider. ( sorry for avoiding the names here)
You mentioned as something was fixed. Any insight on the other possible areas will be helpful.
Thanks.
Number of indexed pages jumped from 39000 to 52000 and traffic increased around 50% in my site.Note: used "site" command to check the indexed pages. I understand this is approximate.In addition, number of crawled pages/day also increased dramatically.No change in the robots.txt, sitemap, crawl errors and duplicate issues. But server migrated to different IT infrastructure.
Before any celebration, want to identify the helper.
Thanks.
What is advisable link count that you see in SEOMOZ crawl report?
How to change "votes" to "reviews" in the search result while implementing microdata / rich snippet?
Recently came across an article stating that Paid search may affect traffic through Organic search.
Did anyone have similar experience?
Thanks for your answer. Want to further clarify that if we have cross linking between these two sub domains, will there be any change in the Google's view?
If we have two different sub domain pages that talk about the same service but with different content, how will Google react while ranking?
Example : xxxx.abc.com/company/solutions/service1
Suppose if www.abc.com has good authority, which URL will be more benefited?
Consider a situation where we are getting 5000 impressions for a term in Adwords and Bing/Yahoo and the same term with the same landing page is ranked within top 5 positions of Google and Bing search.
If we get 2.00% CTR in Paid - Adwords and MSN average, What will be the acceptable Organic CTR - which is available in webmaster tool?
Apart from Title and Description, what are the other areas need improvement to increase Organic CTR?
