Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Just to add a little bit to the previous responses. Assuming each rug is truly different, then you could have on each product page: a general paragraph about the collection and an unique paragraph about each individual product. I would advise using schema tags (http://schema.org/IndividualProduct) and try to figure out which fields can truly be unique per item. Unique photos and videos for your products is also helpful in providing uniqueness to your pages. I realize that 4k is a lot of product to have unique descriptions and you can noindex non-unique pages until you update them.

Absolutely. All content should have synonyms and singular/plural and reversed order variations of the keyword phrase if possible, not just for LSI but also for better optimization for long tail and alternative keywords.

"PC monitor" might even be a secondary keyword. It shows Google that your page really is about PC Screens and not just some BS SEO article written with "PC screen" thrown in a bunch of times.

If you're a global site yes, if local then they probably don't hold as much weight but still count.

If you have a french section of your site and have links from .fr domains that's a good indicating factor as one of many factors.

"The big opportunity would be to get all 3 sites to rank for primary keywords like personal development. Of course, this strategy will require 3 times the work :-)"

also requires you to not get caught by Google or all three sites may get penalized for site spamming.

you can javascript the links and google won't follow them and you won't be throwing away all your PR on those pages

send over the URL

i'm not so sure you need a folder for /owasso-movers/   it won't help for seo so do it only if you think you need the structure. and if you do, make it different keywords like /owasso-moving-companies/owasso-office-movers

if you don't need it for structure then something like:

.com/office-movers-in-owasso-oklahoma

.com/furniture-movers-in-owasso-oklahoma

depending on the amount of content you can provide, you might want to consider county pages as well.

.com/office-movers-in-bergen-county-ok

read up on adding local info such as zip codes, microformatting addresses and other local SEO optimization for these pages to be better geo targeted

http://www.example.com/test page.html will be converted to %20 so it could be interpreted as the same page

All three could be considered spaces, I wouldn't use any of them.

Embedding your Youtube video on your site will help promote your Youtube video on organic results in Youtube and Google. The number of embeds is definitely one of the factors that is looked at in the Google algorithm.

using subdomains for locations is a technique that spammers took advantage of and as a result is no longer recommended. Use directories/folders or simply targeted landing pages in the same folder.

a) You can code it so that you don't show a global phone number in the header

b) it's your site, you don't have to create links that take the user to deeper location pages if you don't want to

c) Regardless you need to create unique content anyway, if it's on a subdomain or directory it's still using the same template and you need totally unique content for each page, don't just swap out location names.

In every case i've seen they should be deindexed. Install YOAST SEO plugin and it will deindex them by default. It's a great plugin too.

I would recommend taking a look at slash vs non slash pages and seeing how many non slash pages on your site are listed as 404'ing. Look at your 404'd pages in Google Webmaster Tools. If this happened to one URL chances it happened to many across your site and if so this is a big issue but can be resolved very easily by appending the slash to the end of all URLs.

Some code might have broken or been improperly or accidentally changed by a webmaster, because if the slash URL version was originally there then that used to be the standard and something technical caused it to go away. This could have broken if you changed from Microsoft to Linux or vice-versa - the .htaccess file or modrewrite would stop working if that was the case.

Totally not an issue to be concerned about on any of those questions you asked - just remove the noindex tag and submit the URL(s) in WMT for Google to respider those specific pages faster, you'll be back up and running in no time.

more pageviews is good, and this is preferred, however you should allow only the first page to get indexed and the paginated subsequent pages should all be noindex,follow so that you aren't creating tons of low or no content pages.

Another issue with excessive linking on every page is that you are diluting your page uniqueness and you may get flagged due to having a large ratio of duplicate pages. I would strongly recommend you limit the number of links on your primary landing pages to the links that people are most interested in and/or mostly related to the page content. In the same vein, any mass of content (author bios, disclaimer, etc..) that is on every page of the website needs to be examined and optimized.

Add canonical tags to your pages this is a must with wordpress category pages and tag pages etc.

somewhere on your site google is crawling and indexing/seeing services/57 which is really services/  - but without the canonical added to services/ google doesn't know that is the page that should be considered the representative page.

install the YOAST seo plugin for wordpress, install it and configure it to properly add canonical tags and noindex tags. it's really easy takes like 10 minutes after you instal and activate it

if this helped you out please feel free to thumbs up or mark as good answer! if you send me the URL i can take a closer look for you

Is the bounce rate on the homepage high? Leave the store page and make the homepage more conversion friendly is my recommendation. I understand them wanting to get the user one click closer, but not really the best solution, try to mimic the store page on the home page a bit a keep track of changes and increases or decreases so you can revert if need be.

FYI look at the links in your left nav here http://www.iboats.com/aboutus.html  and also your global footer, you are nofollowing internal links, this is throwing away precious page juice.

Updating old posts will not allow you the benefit of having your article getting into Google News. Here is what I would suggest.

1. Create a category page with links to all articles on that subject. Add some content and recent photos and videos to the category page.

2. On your related articles that are surfacing on top in the search results, link on top of the article to the newest article

I just saw this story today about a new Google Webmaster feature which lets you download a file of the most recent links.

http://searchengineland.com/google-now-shows-you-your-most-recent-links-127903

I downloaded the file today and I already discovered a major site issue. Our site blog was completely duplicated on a secondary domain we own and Google was showing that site as recent links. I already emailed the dev team to fix this pronto.

Anybody else using this new feature and perhaps can share if it helps you in any way.

Congrats, people need to realize how much free advice you offered to the SEOMoz community and all for a t-shirt.  I just crossed the halfway mark today myself and I think I can get that t-shirt in 2012. LOL.

It should go away on it's own once you removed all the offending malware code from your site.

Call your hosting company and they will scan your site and remove the malware for you. A lof of people don't know that their hosting company will be more than happy in assisting removing hacks or viruses present on your sites at no charge. It's probably still on your site if you're still getting the message days later.
