Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Tyler,

yes I ended up with the simple checking of the "noindex,follow" option for Tag within the YOAST Plugin (Taxonomies-Tab).

Now all the duplicate Content Issues are gone... so why is this option not set per default? hmmm

Thanks
Holger

Bug? or just because the change happened beyound the Top 50 within Bing & Yahoo SERPs?

The Keyword Ranking for in the example "dry desulfurization" shows a change of >40 up, but the history (Google) does not show these changes.

May be, it is that the change was within Yahoo and Bing Rankings, and because the keyword is not showing up within the Top 50, I just can't see? ... but Rogerbot is considering.

Thanks for any response

Hi Branagan,

yes I can set noindex, follow in the yoast plugin, but this seems that google does not obey this metatag? See the comment of a User from a blog:

Hi, I’ve been using the Yoasts SEO for years now, but unfortunately it does not prevent Google from indexing pagination all the time.

Matt Cutts. the Google technical expert and representative says in his video that the ‘noindex’ meta tag is a weak method in trying to prevent Google from indexing a page, since Googlebot will not always obey this tag.

Asking people, they say tags are bad and spamy and as I can see they generate all my duplicate page content issues.

So the big question is, why Google very often prefers to show in SERPS these Tag-URLS... so it can't be too bad! :)))?

Then after some research I found the "Term Optimizer" on Yoast.com ... that should help exactly with this problem but it seems not to be available anymore?

So may be there another plugin that can help... or just delete all tags from my blog? and install permanent redirects?
Is this the solution?

I understand,

I am not using a CMS and the site is not very big, so I wondered why Roberbot did not find all the 404 Error at the first time, because they have been there for many months.

Hi I experienced that Rogerbot after a new Crawl presents me new 4XX Errors, so why doesn't he tell me all at once?

I have a small static site and had 9 crawls ago 10 4XX Errors, so I tried to fix them all.
The next crawl Rogerbot fount still 5 Errors so I thought that I did not fix them all... but this happened now many times so that I checked before the latest crawl if I really fixed all the errors 101%.

Today, although I really corrected 5 Errors, Rogerbot digs out  2 "new" Errors. So does Rogerbot not catch all the errors that have been on my site many weeks before?

Pls see the screenshot how I was chasing the errors

Hi Brett & Takeshi,

please post if your foto will show up after putting it in a better quality, because I don't believe it might be an issue of the number of followers or content you post on g+ , because I am a good example because having just a few followers and also nearly no post at all... But its working for me. Also my name does not appear on some pages where I put the rel author. So I think there are other reasons.

Best regards,

Holger

Thanks Keri,

But its not about these common problems, because Rogerbot crawled the properly before. May be a ticked will help to find the cause.

Holger

When I saw the new crawl for my site I wondered why there are no errors, no warning and 0 notices anymore.

Then I saw that only 1 page was crawled. There are no Error Messages or webmasters Tools also did not report anything about crawling problems.

What might be the problem?

thanks for any tips!
Holger

Thank you Jo,

I have installed BWT some months ago and receive every day an eMail with "1" Problem with Webmasters Tools... So I will check this

best,
Holger

Yes! thank you Peter for your tip,

I will do this also...

thanks,
Holger

Hello Robert,

thank you. I will have a look at the Bing Business Listing as soon as finding time :)) May be I should also please bing to do all fine with their webmaster tools...

best
Holger

I have sometimes pages ranking very well on Google but in comparison with Bing and Yahoo they are not listed within the Top50 SERP's

What are the ranking factors for Bing and Yahoo? Although Bing and Yahoo play a minor role it would be fine also to rank well with these engines.

Thanks for any tips!

Takeshi, Thanks for the link! I was wondering: Who installed the 301, it was not me, so its a server feature?... Its becuase I have two sites exactly with the same structure, but on different webspaces because of 2 languages and TLDs. On one there is no redirect detected by seomoz ... But on the other. When I use a subfolder e.g. Example.com/services/ each subfolder contains an index.php and I link to it just linking to ...services/ and not to ...services/index.php Hope thats the best practice?

Hi Andrew, it takes only a few hours!... (also websites that post news will not wait 3 months ;)) But I think it depends on your trust and page rank which helps to get new links indexed faster. I have my own domain more than 10 years, got very few but good backlinks and never found time to optimize my own site but at least it has a PR4. I lately tested how blogging helpes to rank for keywords and made very good experiences. At night I posted a short article, submitted it with WMT ...fetch as google... And the next morning the new page ranked already very well !! So upload your page and submit it to google. And check next morning... It worked for my WP Blog. Thats my experience Best regards, Holger

I take it from a practical point of view: If in doubt, leave it out : ), I took the www. away from all of my sites because it seems a relict from the beginning of the WWW and just makes the domain unnecessarily longer (alos when advertising it) So do not encounter any Problem with it. Sure, people can access my site via www. but will be redirected to the non-WWW address.

But I am curious if this can have any disadvantage, as well. Here is may be a helpful link: http://no-www.org/

There are detected five 301 redirects on my site and I want to understand why this is happening? And is this important to fix?

http://domain.cl/subfolder      ---- redirects to ---->    http://domain.cl/subfolder/

What does this tell me "/"

I am very curious

Thanks for every answer

When I have a long article about a single topic with sub-topics I can make it user friendlier when I limit the text and hide text just showing the next headlines, by using expandable-collapsible div's.

My doubt is if Google is really able to read onclick textlinks (with javaScript) or if it could be "seen" as hidden text?

I think I read in the SEOmoz Users Guide, that all javaScript "manipulated" contend will not be crawled. So from SEOmoz's Point of View I should better make use of old school named anchors and a side-navigation to jump to the sub-topics?

(I had a similar question in my post before, but I did not use the perfect terms to describe what I really wanted. Also my text is not too long (<1000 Words) that I should use pagination with rel="next" and rel="prev" attributes.)

THANKS for every answer
