Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone knew of any cool tools, or ways to track performance for multiple websites (specifically organic traffic and conversions from Google Analytics) from one single dashboard.

Any recommendations?

Cheers, Chris

Hi Matt!

No i have not yet found a tool which can do this.

The _ScrapeBox Anchor Text plugin _CleverPhD mentioned can only do this for one domain at a time. I need it for multiple domains.

Any other suggestions?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of free TD*IDF analysis tools on the market?

I know about onpage.org and Text-tools.net both paid.

I was wondering if anyone knows of other tools?

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks guys,

Yeah Gianluca that was a mistake should be .com/uk thanks for picking it up though!

I was also wondering for the sitemap itself, is it fine to have one single sitemap across all the different countries?

It seems this is what Apple does:http://www.apple.com/sitemap.xml

Hi guys,

In the process of launching internationally ecommerce site (Magento CMS) for two different countries (Australia and US). Then later on expand to other countries like the UK, Canada, etc.

The plan is for each country will have its own sub-folder e.g. www.domain.com/us, www.domain.com.au/au, www.domain.com.au/uk

A lot of the content between these English based countries are the same. E.g. same product descriptions. 
So in order to prevent duplication, from what I’ve read we will need to add Hreflang tags to every single page on the site?

So for:

Australian pages:

United States pages:

Just wanted to make sure this is the correct strategy (will hreflang prevent duplicate content issues?) and anything else i should be considering?

Thankyou, Chris

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your answer!

Good tip on the 302s. Yeah definitely isn't ideal.

Currently the Australian site is the one with most of the domain authority and organic traffic. I'm also thinking at this possibly:

http://c714091.r91.cf2.rackcdn.com/4c2aae21dc8c159b81caae827029d8a1bbf57c90ed.png

So just leave the Australian site for now, the developers will have to simply deal with this on there end.

And the US site do the temporary 302 then change to 301 once the global site is ready.

What do you think of this instead?

Hi guys,

Just want to check on this site migration strategy. Basically we have an Australian based ecommerce site which is going to launch globally.

The company has two site. One is (http://www.domainUS.com – for US market) and one is Australian based (http://www.domain.com.au).

Basically the plan is to have one single global .com site (like ASOS.com) on a new domain which would be domain.com and put both the current http://www.domainUS.com (US VERSION) and http://www.domain.com.au  (AUSTRALIAN VERSION) on the new domain: domain.com (global)

To make it even more complicated the new global domain (domain.com) is in the process of being purchased (someone else has the domain) and won’t be available till January 2016. But the company wants to execute the new global setup in November 2015 temporary on the .com.au version

The current migration plan is to create two different sub-folders one for US e.g. http:www.domain.com.au/us and one for AUD http://www.domain.com/au on the current domain Australian domain.com.au for the global launch in November 2015. Then once domain.com is ready in January 2016, then migrate to domain.com with the countries as sub-folder (as shown below in stage 3).

I was wondering if you guys think this would be an ideal migration strategy given the circumstances.

Link to screenshot of current migration strategy:

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Basically want the anchor text, so I can easily identify the location of the link on the page without needing to view source and search for the URL.

This export is directly from: http://s29.postimg.org/ujxm0c4lj/screenshot_677.jpg

Scrapebox backlink checker which doesn't give you anchor text.

Thanks CleverPhD, sorry should had mentioned i'm looking to do this for multiple domain names not just one. So the method you describe works great for a single domain.

Hi guys,

So basically i have a list of URLs/Domains and there backlinks (example: http://s29.postimg.org/ujxm0c4lj/screenshot_677.jpg) but i'm missing anchor text. Can anyone recommend any tools which can scan a backlink, locate the URL/Domain on the page and then pull the anchor text?

Cheers, Chris

Hi we have a e-commerce site on Magento.

A lot of the current current meta descriptions are over 120 characters, which is approximately what Google cuts off for mobile search.

We want to create mobile meta descriptions but where would we add them to the CMS and how do we tell Google to use the mobile meta description when the site is responsive.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi basically i have a large list of page URLs and want to gather the external links for each URL at once.

Currently we have been manually doing this e.g. inserting the URL into ahref, exporting the links, then putting all the links together in one single excel file. Which can take a while.

Any solutions i should check out to automate this?

Cheers,

Chris

Hey does anyone know of any tools which can test your meta descriptions against competitors meta descriptions for specific keyword terms.

I know one tool called SERP Turkey which uses mechanical turk, i was wondering if there is any others on the market?

Even a tool which can automatically score your meta description against others on the SERP results page. E..g optimised, keyword, call to action, etc.

Cheers,

Chris

Hey guys,

Just wondering if you anyone knows of any tools which can identify link type e.g. guest post, forum post, blog comment, directory, etc.

One tool i used in the past was link detective which seems to be no longer running.

Does anyone know of any other alternatives?

Cheers.

Hi guys,

Currently have duplicate pages accross a website e.g.

1. https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart**#!**

2. https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart

The only difference is the URL 1 has a hashtag and exclamation tag. Everything else is the same.

We were thinking of adding rel canonical tags on the #! versions of the page to the correct URLs. But Google doens't seem to be indexing the #! versions anyway.

Does anyone know why this is the case? If Google is not indexing them, is there any point adding rel canonical tags?

Cheers,

Chris

https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart#!

Thanks Woody,

Ok, any issues with adding no-index tag - Disallow: */?currency/ to robots.txt?

Rel canonical would be very difficult to implement (CMS is Wordpress) to implement and super time consuming.

HI guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any tools to scan a site for duplicate content (with other sites on the web).

Looking to quickly identify product pages containing duplicate content/duplicate product descriptions for E-commerce based websites.

I know copy scape can which can check up to 10,000 pages in a single operation with Batch Search. But just wondering if there is anything else on the market i should consider looking at?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi we just did a massive deepcrawl (using the tool deepcrawl.co.uk/) on the site: http://tinyurl.com/nu6ww4z

http://i.imgur.com/vGmCdHK.jpg

Which reported a lot of URLs as either 508 and 500 errors.

For the URLs as reported as either 508 or 500 after the deep crawl crawl finished we put them directly into screaming frog and they all came back with status code 200.

Could it be because Deep Crawl hammered the site and the server couldn't handle the load or something?

Cheers, Chris

Hi guys,

I have duplicate category pages across a ecommerce site.

http://s30.postimg.org/dk9avaij5/screenshot_160.jpg

For the currency based pages i was wondering would it be best (or easier) to exclude them in the robots.txt or use a rel canonical?

If using the robots.txt (would be much easier to implement then rel canonical) to exclude the currency versions from being indexed what would the correct exclusion be?

Would it look something like:

Disallow: */?currency/

Google is indexing the currency based pages also:

Good answers!

If you do 301 redirect to all https pages would this cause issues with previous rel canonical tags which point to http version of the page.

E.g. this page

http://www.the upside sport.com/sale/women/hoodies/recovery-hoodie-coral

Has a rel canonical pointing to (which is correct):

http://www.the upsidesport.com/recovery-hoodie-coral

Then if i implement a 301 redirect to the https version the correct version would be:

https://www.theupsidesport.com/recovery-hoodie-coral

But the rel canonical would be to the non-http page unless i change it. Would this cause issues if i don't change the rel canonical tags to the https version.
