Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I can see that you are using https://www.supershuttle.fr. Have you added the  HTTPS version of your site within Search Console?

"Add all your website versions

Make sure you add both "www" and "non-www" versions for your site. Also, if you use the HTTPS protocol, add those variations as well."

Here's a best practice article on implementing HTTPS: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6073543?hl=en

It may be worthwhile adding your posting your question about translation separately to get it in front of more Mozzers (as you'll have the benefit of giving your question a relevant title and catching the attention of users with experience of this specific issue).

I hope that helps.

Yes, adding both www and non-www to Google Search Console is absolutely best practice to ensure you aren't presenting duplicate content.

It's also the first recommended step in your check list after you've verified your property within GSC (which suggests it's pretty important).

Here's what Google say about this:

You may need to verify ownership of both the www and non-www versions of your domain. Because setting a preferred domain impacts both crawling and indexing, we need to ensure that you own both versions. Typically, both versions point to the same physical location, but this is not always the case. Generally, once you have verified one version of the domain, we can easily verify the other using the original verification method. However, if you've removed the file, meta tag, or DNS record, you'll need to repeat the verification steps.

Note: Once you've set your preferred domain, you may want to use a 301 redirect to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain, so that other search engines and visitors know which version you prefer.

I hope that helps.

Hello and welcome aboard!

It's working here, (with hurl.it and others - and I can see the actual page content as you'd expect). I can also crawl it within MOZ: "Accessible to Search Engines"  - CHECK

Could this just be a temporary issue with your web host or perhaps an issue where you are/were connected where you attempted the crawl?FYI: Crawl results show all your pages with 200 status (apart from one 301). All is well

Sorry to hear of your woes.

Depending on the structure of the URLS you could create some simple pattern matches rules within .htaccess? If you could a few dozen rules could handle many thousands of redirects. If there isn't any easily identifiable pattern to match then a DB will, indeed, be your best option.

One of the web devs I used to work with  (who was considerably smarter than me) faced a similar issue (with a 'mere' 10k+ redirects) and used some Ruby on Rails middleware as a redirector: This may have been the solution he used:

https://github.com/vigetlabs/redirector

I hope that helps.

I hope you're able to get this sorted without too much pain. Good Luck!

Marvellous! That's great news. Thanks for bringing to my attention, too

Hi,As far as I can determine, the limitation for Small Businesses is based on the number of physical locations rather than the number of employees. When I follow this link to their help section: https://mapsconnect.apple.com/ui/help I see:"Small businesses"For businesses with less than 20 locationsWhich expands to show:"We currently only accept businesses whose customers visit them and where we can confirm a physical presence. Businesses that may not be approved include: businesses operating from residential homes, businesses with temporary locations (including real-estate for sale) or without a physical address, mobile businesses, or businesses that have not yet opened for business. Please create only one profile per physical location having a distinct purpose. Departments with clearly separate purposes may have a separate profile. You may create a profile for public-facing individuals if they have contact information that's different than their business."

Is is possible that your business would qualify based on those parameters?

I agree that it isn't necessary but I wouldn't automatically consider it spammy, either. (The content will determine that far more than the URL structure).

Considering the URL structure as above will not make the site look spammy. Consider a

www.myshoeshop.com/womens-shoes/ 
/mens-shoes/
/boys-shoes/
/girls-shoes/

It is relevant (i.e.) the page in question deals in mens shoes etc. All you have done is indicate to the visitor that this page relates to their search; no harm in that.

When you use the On-page grader: https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader, one of the considerations is keyword in URL so it's expected. One page for one keyword is still common practice (though Google's introduction of Rankbrain will see this diminish over time: https://moz.com/blog/optimizing-for-rankbrain-whiteboard-friday) and we will need to evolve our content and thinking in alignment with this.

You could, of course simply use mycouponsitename.com/walmart etc.  as you allude to in your statement. I'd worry less about the URL structure and more about the content as here's plenty of scope to make this look spammy, depending on how you deliver the content. Deliver relevance and engaging content, don't bombard me with ads and, most importantly perhaps, provide COUPONS THAT ACTUALLY WORK and you will have delivered a great user experience. Your/the clients revisit rate will go up and people will spread the joy, regardless of the URL structure.

If you haven't already, be sure to check the Mozscape API updates page, here: https://moz.com/products/api/updates. As one went live the day before this post.

I'd second what Gaston says about advising against this (and similar metrics) as a KPI.

If you are concerned about duplicate keywords, download the Adwords Editor and follow Google's guidelines on identifying and removing them, here: https://support.google.com/adwords/editor/answer/47633

QS aside, my concern with duplicate keywords would be the cost implication as you'll end up bidding against yourself in the auction. As Alick300 has mentioned, keywords with different match types are not considered duplicates. Be aware that broad match keywords with the same words in different order, etc would be considered duplicates.

I hope that helps you.

To expand up the idea of find out what questions searchers are asking in your targeted niche, go to keyword explorer add the keyword 'psychology' (https://moz.com/explorer/keyword/suggestions?q=psychology) See all keywords, and select 'are questions under 'Display keyword suggestions that and then sort by volume (high to low). Then set about writing copy that directly answers those questions. Get it right and you may feature within the Featured Snippets: https://moz.com/blog/featured-snippets-from-start-to-finish, which would give you a real boost.

Beyond that, and based on your niche (which is a subject a lot of people are interested in) I'd consider creating a variety of psychology quizzes - the kind of things people share on Facebook: A psychopath test or things that flatter the ego - as people tend to share their results if they are flattering. (Apparently, my reactions are faster than a fighter pilots and I'm smarter than Einstein - It's true, Facebook said!) and the same sort of thing with Pinterest (Colour Psychology infographics etc.) Producing good quality content that people want to share with their peers and you'll be well on your way.

Guest articles on related sites would be a real boost, of course. The more, the merrier!

Beyond content and link building don't overlook your on-page work: https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader and https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test etc.

Good luck!

You haven't given us too much to go on (what searches are you performing and what results are being delivered - are they local results etc.) However...

The first step to replicating (and surpassing) a site's success is to understand it.

To get you started, take a look at Moz's Open Site Explorer, searching around this website and you'll see that this site has only a small number of established links from a handful root domains,  though the ones present almost all relate to Wedding Photography, none of them are spammy and most have a respectable Domain Authority. If you look Linking Domains and change Target to Root Domain (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/domains?site=emilyhelen.com&target=domain&sort=domain_authority&page=1) you'll see a list of these, the linking pages and their DA.

You can also Compare Link Metrics for your site against this, here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons?site=emilyhelen.com

Quality, inbound links which pass on link equity from related sites are a big factor as they serve as endorsements, so you'll certainly want to develop as many of these as you can and the best way to do this is through building relationships with the humans behind the sites and getting them to engage with your content - if they like it there's a good chance they'd be happy to share it with their audience.

Also, be sure to check that your assumptions are correct. To do so, take advantage of the Rank Checker, here: https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker which you can use to confirm your (and your competitor's ranking) for a variety of keywords, to check that what your seeing in your browser is a true reflection of what the rest of the world are seeing.

Beyond that, this site has nothing much in the way of text content (that I can discern at a glance).

I hope that helps give you a clearer understanding.

Good luck!

Jo's quite right, Google haven't gone live with this, yet:

"To make our results more useful, we’ve begun experiments to make our index mobile-first. Although our search index will continue to be a single index of websites and apps, our algorithms will eventually primarily use the mobile version of a site’s content to rank pages from that site, to understand structured data, and to show snippets from those pages in our results. Of course, while our index will be built from mobile documents, we're going to continue to build a great search experience for all users, whether they come from mobile or desktop devices.

We understand this is an important shift in our indexing and it’s one we take seriously. We’ll continue to carefully experiment over the coming months on a small scale and we’ll ramp up this change when we’re confident that we have a great user experience. Though we’re only beginning this process, here are a few recommendations to help webmasters prepare as we move towards a more mobile-focused index."
See: the full post, here: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/11/mobile-first-indexing.html

Yep. All HTTP. Drops of around 3 - 4 points across the board. It's almost reassuring that we're not alone.

It never ends, my friend!

Good luck!

I'd also look to write content to take advantage of 'Featured Snippets' by creating content that answers questions that relate to wheelchairs - even those that aren't directly related to just their parts (using Keyword Explorer, with Display keyword suggestions that > are questions  with keyword 'wheelchair') and write copy that directly answers those: Here are some examples I found:
'Which wheelchair is right for me?', 'How do I get a wheelchair?', 'What to do with old wheelchairs?' etc.
without trying to shoehorn links in EVERYWHERE, instead, drop a link into the articles that do relate closely to this keyword. You'll gain more in the long run by establishing yourself as an authority on all things wheelchair related, and raise awareness of your service in doing so.

Featured Snippets:

Glad to have been of some help. Good luck and happy hunting!

Synonyms are part of our everyday language. we use a wide variety of synonyms in every conversation without any loss of meaning or confusion; using them in our written communication (specifically, web copy) ensures that it sounds natural, makes it less of a chore to read, and not just something that has been hammered out, solely to try to gain traction in the search engines. Google knows that its continued dominance relies on it's ability to deliver relevant results and understanding how synonyms work is an integral part of that, so, unsurprisingly, this is something they are very, very good at.

(Here's a 2010 article from the official Google blog which refers to synonyms: https://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/helping-comnds puters-understand-language.html.)

If you look at Google's example of keyword stuffing (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66358?hl=en) you can see how unreadable that is; much better to add a variety of synonyms throughout a piece of engaging copy.

To address your concern directly, editing your copy and replacing keywords with a sprinkling of synonyms is not going to result in you suddenly getting penalised for 'keyword stuffing'.
(Remember, that the notion of a keyword density % is a myth See: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/myths-and-misconceptions-about-search-engines

Don't forget to test your edits with On-page Grader: https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader.

Proceed with usability and readability in mind - write something a human being would enjoy reading - and you won't go far wrong.

Hi Eelco,

This extract is taken from an article on Search Engine Land "Google Explains How It Handles The New Top Level Domains (TLDs)": http://searchengineland.com/google-explains-how-they-handle-the-new-top-level-domains-tlds-225671

"Q: How will new gTLDs affect search? Is Google changing the search algorithm to favor these TLDs? How important are they really in search?
A: Overall, our systems treat new gTLDs like other gTLDs (like .com and .org). Keywords in a TLD do not give any advantage or disadvantage in search."

Personally, I think it's inevitable that we'll see wider adoption of these new TLDs (despite them having a 'vanity' feel about them at the moment) because, quite frankly, all of the good .coms are gone!

I hope that helps!

Hi Jay,

When you say 'submit your website to" be careful you don't fall foul of Google's guidelines See: Link Schemes: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en) otherwise, all your efforts could be in vain.

Don't be tempted to submit your site to each and every blog or directory which has a dofollow link in the hope of a quick boost to your rankings (which, for many, was the "go to" method to fast-track their way to the top, a few years back).  Instead, spend some finding the 'influencers' within your niche and take some time to build relationships with them and see if you can get them to engage with you, to help you promote your product or service. A great tool to help you find these 'influencers' is BuzzStream: http://www.buzzstream.com.

I hope that helps.

Interesting article - thanks for sharing
