Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Robert, the website was hosted there. We only had/have access to the domain itself of which the name servers have been changed to connect the new site.

I think getting access to the old site on the Italian host is going to be the hardest part (they don't like us accessing it for some reason)

Is there a way i can find every url that needs to be redirected so i can send this link to them in order to get the redirections we need?

Oh sh*t...

Thanks for your response Robert. Unfortunately the old site was hosted and managed by Segafredo Italy. We never had access to it. I think i will pull out my best Italian and call them. Starting from scratch would not be ideal...

I'll let you know how we get on.

Thanks so much,

Ciao. Manny.

Hi guys, we relaunched our website www.segafredo.com.au a few weeks ago, however google is still showing site links from our old page that no longer exist...

Is there anything we can do about this? Sit back and wait or try demoting the old urls in webmaster tools?

Looking forward to see your tips!

Hi guys i would like to hear what your tips are on keeping the "professional" competition enterers from flooding your facebook competitions and how you attract quality entries.

I've noticed by looking at entry profiles on Facebook roughly 90% of entries i'm receiving are the "stay-at-home-mom-self-proclaimed-professional-competition-enterer" that do nothing other than enter competitions all day...every day.

Are they still of any value in your opinion? (other than driving traffic to your site etc)

Hi Carlo, PDF's get indexed as well. Unless you outline the text in your design that is. Sites like Slide Share can be useful for submitting them if you intend for people discover to share your content. Make sure to optimise your PDF with urls to gain some traffic to your site.

I don't know if urls in PDF's count as a backlink? Maybe someone else can shed some light on that.

Hi guys, it looks like our developers have figured it out...

I don't know how it happened but for some reason it was doing it on this url: http://www.segafredo.com.au/Disclaimer/ Our site is run on Umbraco (ASP) but the shopping part is a custom plugin for SAP which doesn't play nice with friendly urls.

Somehow they solved that issue but created an other one... duplicate content :S

Even though search engines don't see the the "for" (correct me if I'm wrong) keep in mind you're ultimate target is humans. So being grammatically correct might affect how they perceive you.

Hi guys this is more of a technical question. Has anyone seen this before in a url www.domain.com/\page\

i'm referring to the forward slash / followed by a backslash \ resulting in /\

Any idea why this happens?

Hi guys i'm just going trough some pages with the seomoz one page optimization tool.

As one of the "easy fix" suggestions it says: "Avoid Multiple Page Title Elements"

"Explanation: Web pages are meant to have a single title, and for both accessibility and search engine optimization reasons, we strongly recommend following this practice.Recommendation: Remove all but a single page title element."

By single element does it mean 1 single word?

Is that realistic?

I'm interested to see what you will do in regards to redirecting the visitors to the new address. We're going trough a similar process at the moment where we are replacing the current site which was hit with panda and penguin updates to a new branded domain although with a new design and new content. Would placing a message asking visitors to visit your new address with a no-follow link do the trick?

So basically the search engine won't see the relevance between .../coffee/beans/... but rather .../coffee/coffee-beans/...

If i understand it right from the video? Or i shouldn't worry about it to much as long as it makes sense to users?

Hi guys i just wanted your expert opinion on keywords in urls. The example i'm giving you is in regards to a ecommerce website:

Option 1: www.example.com/shop/coffee/coffee-beans/brand-coffee-beans-500gr

Option 2: www.example.com/shop/coffee/beans/brand-coffee-beans-500gr

We sell coffee so i'll keep the example relevant 

Does it make a difference on how the keywords are stacked throughout?

Would the search engine combine the two keywords  eg. .../coffee/beans/... or would i be better of having .../coffee/coffee-beans/...  and is there a penalty for having the same phrase more than once in the url?

I hope my question makes sense...

Looking forward to your opinions and ideas!
