Welcome to the Q&A Forum

it depends, sub domains that are independent (not cross linked) are pretty much treated like their own domain, interlinked sub domains (linked with main domain)  are treated a bit more connected.  So if the sub domain isn't connected to your domain you should be fine, Google treats sub domains as their own domain unless heavily linked back and forth etc.

Google did an update and 15% of them are gone, please see the currently main blog post  - http://moz.com/blog/googles-december-authorship-shake-up

Google can read PDF's and its valuable content it should help benefit your domain, may be better to have the content on site with a pdf download option perhaps.. realistically with the lack of internal links i doubt it's going to change that much but will help add to your link portfolio which is good.

hope that helps.

As a Firefox user I'm looking forward to the update. Understandable why you've done what you've done though.

Hello,

SEO is made up of loads of jobs that have a small affect compared to one big job that gets you that no.1 pos mostly. It's good to get your house in order so at some point i would recommend ensuring that users don't go through too many 301's. They are correct a crawler will index the destination of the 301 not the starting place.

Hope that helps.

Is possible don't forget rel="author" This should help with authority over time more info  can be found: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2539557

Hi Gary,

Unfortunately the it's not on the Moz teams short term road map. These means its going to be a while, they want to make sure its really really good before it comes to the UK and Europe.

It's really great because it helps get your site listed in many local areas with the same information making your life easier and achieving good constant results. I'm afraid I also Live in the UK so I don't have first hand experience but i'm sure some one around here can sing its praise.

use the canonical tag it will let you keep the pages where they are (as well as visitors) but tell Google which page is the original. As for harm it depends on how many pages I wouldn't see it being the greatest harm but its so easy to put the tag on you might as well do that. A quick heads up though by putting the tag on pages it means one page will rank but the others will no so be aware of that.

Hope that helps.

Hello there,

You will need to remove the 302 on www.greatwesternflooring.com/ you can ask your web dev team or who ever deals with your site, if you're doing it your self it depends on the system you are using. I'm sure we can help or you can response to Tracy and the Moz team will give you some great tips!

You can take a look through http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

good luck.

Hi Matt,

Well to a degree you're going to have to look for your self but there is a meta tag section of screaming frog then its just a matter of scrolling...scrolling....scrolling and looking for English words etc.  Some people might have a better solution here.  FYI there is also Xenu

Hi Ash,

It's really a preference. The great thing about signing the blogs (rel=author) is you get the fancy picture in any results which can help you stand out a bit in the SERPs

I suppose you need to ask yourself what you want from Google+ you may find it easier to use the business account for brand announcements but the personal account for e.g blog posts. This may help you build up authority in your niche whilst keeping any +1 on your business page engaged. You can write (well comment) on your business page with your personal page to help reinforce. it's all far too overly complex if you ask me!

If I'm honest I'm not too familiar with duplicate content on social media but lets assume by duplicating it we lessen the value (and the impact). You could look on "sharing" the business post (or visa vesa I suppose) so the value all goes back to the same place.

In short if you work out what you think would benefit your brand you can then fit in the rest around it. I hope some of that helps anyway. Lets not forget Christy and her great suggestions you using your personal account to really contact with your niche.

Good Luck.

The ticks mean that is fixed on your site "already present" so that's good, more info can be found here -

As for the how to fix issues it should tell you just under the problem how to fix it. If there are any you are struggling with let us know and i'm sure we can help/

one quick google later did you try ?- http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/favicon-generator-crop-images/

Moz can take a while to get around to canonical links, you can use the likes of screaming frog to help you pick up on if its working or not. If all done right Google knows about it which is the main thing and you just have to wait for Roger to get around to crawling it.

The other thing you could look into is download the report from Moz and make sure that it thinks that is the only duplicate page though I didn't see anything from my quick look.

If you're still lost you can also give help@moz.com a shout

It's not the first time I've seen something that fixed but still listed that's why I tend to double check it with other software.

Hope that helps a bit

Hi Robert,

Quick thought on people not bothering to read the subject is I would suggest moving the thumbs up/down button so you can only vote at the bottom of the article (thus assuming you've read it) and this may help stop thumbs down from just title surfing.

The only argument I do have for thumbs down is spam now and then it's in the comments so would be nice if we had thumbs removed just an opportunity to flag spammy comments.

thanks

If its your own content I always like to watermark it just to stop it begin stolen and duplicated. I don't see it taking away from the impact of the content (though it does of course depend on the size of the content to watermark).  As long as the content is good people can look past watermarks etc.

Don't forget to give a manual penalty if someone doesn't finish or enjoy it!

Hi Andy,

adding to Jarno you could bring in your blog if your blog is off site the offsite blog is getting any benefit you may be receive for it. Bring it onto your site and it can help if people link to you etc. Obviously it's good to use the likes of Squidoo to connect with a community etc. just don't put too much energy into it, remembering again any links to it go to the main site and only a small amount of the juice comes to you.

It defiantly sounds like your on a good path, if you can connect to your niche / community the rest becomes easy.

Best of luck to you.
