Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Having a website with individual pages for different topics that are easily crawlable by the search engine bots is the most basic and best thing for SEO.

If you can work on open source technology then Wordpress is a good option

Hi,

Last year Google announced that it will treat links from a sub-domain as internal links and not external - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.in/2011/08/reorganizing-internal-vs-external.html. Does it means that now there is no difference between a sub-domain and a sub-directory and anyone of them can be used?

Regards

I suggest to use sub-directory for your blog. But make sure to write original content. Further, it should be for the users and not the search engines.

Hmmm..probably i misunderstood your "parent" question. No value will be passed if link points to the current page.

Definitely. Each link is counted as a vote and internal links help in making the page look more relevant but the link should not be out of context.

The results on this page still goes to the actual domain but the page says "more coming soon". Do you think it's gonna replace google.com and if not, will it change users' preference of using google.com? I mean more and more people may start using wdyl.com...it's making me nervous

Don't redirect, create a sub folder for English content.

Yeah, it's a quiet release but is trending on Twitter and TechCrunch has a post on it

Is this gonna be a game changer for SEO http://www.wdyl.com/

What i am planning to do is - create a small function that based on the user agent will render the content i.e. if the user agent is of smart phones, it will render mobile version of the website and if it is desktop then it will render the desktop version. I hope it does not amounts to cloaking. Please correct me if i am wrong

I am sure everyone around here is aware of Instant Pages that Google introduced at Inside Search Event. How does it affect Analytics?

Since the page is pre-loading, does that get recorded as a visitor? If the user doesn’t click on the link, will that impact the bounce rate?

Hi,

Please tell me how to make the mobile website availabe:

htp://m.mysite.com

or

http://www.mysite.com i.e. to render different content based on user agent but on the same URL

Hi,

While searching on Google, i came across a new search result page without underlines in the titles of search snippets. Is Google experimenting with something new or there is some problem in my browser. I checked it in Firefox but at the same time when i checked it on IE, normal page was visible.

Which one should i use to start my blog on my own domain name?

Hi,

I want to implement an interstitial similar to http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/defaultinterstitial.cms. Within few seconds it gets redirected to http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/. What are the SEO implications of having this sort of arrangement?

Thanks for the helpful reply Alan! Can you please explain this - "If it's only a few pages, sure, duplicate content there could have an impact". How duplicate content issues vary between small and big sites? I was under the impression that number of pages do not have any influence in duplicate content.

Is it okay to use the same privacy policy and terms of use across different websites as long as i noindex,follow them?

Thanks for the reply Ryan! But if i don't block it via robots.txt file or noindex tag, will it affect my site negatively? I mean the overall site

Hi,

If i use same terms of use and privacy policy content across my websites, does it amounts to duplicate content issues? Does it affect my websites in any manner?
