Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I came across an article mentioning this as a strategy for getting product pages (which are tough to get links for) some link equity.

See #21: content flipping:

Has anyone done this? Seems like this isn't what the tag is meant for, and Google may see this as deceptive? Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm doing an audit of a site for a very competitive term (project management software).

The site ranks for its root domain on the second page. They have a lot of other non-blog pages that are geared towards longer tail versions that include that term (project management software pricing, project management tool comparison, etc).

My question is: are those pages cannibalizing potential search traffic? Should they just stick to the one page (root domain) and include those longtail keywords on the page instead of creating various pages that seem to possibly be cannibalizing traffic? Is this a fair conclusion that these other pages is causing them to rank lower for the main head term?

@highwayfive, you can actually get this information from SEMRush, using their keyword difficulty tool.

Thanks Anthony, thats a great solution..

So here is the situation.

I'm working on a site that offers "Best Of" Top 10 list type content. They have a list that ranks very well but is out of date.

They'd like to create a new list for 2014, but have the old list exist. Ideally the new list would replace the old list in search results.

Here's what I'm thinking, but let me know if you think theres a better way to handle this:

1. Put a "View New List" banner on the old page

2. Make sure all internal links point to the new page

3. Rel=canonical tag on the old list pointing to the new list

Does this seem like a reasonable way to handle this?

Looks cool. Not exactly what I'm looking for but thanks for the rec

It would be great if there was a tool that helped find words/terms frequently used with other terms.

For example, a search in this theoretical tool for "mobile app development" could bring up "iPhone app development" and "mobile app design" as examples of frequently co-occuring words.

Any ideas or tools for this kinda thing?

Yeah thats whats going on. Its using something called SiteCore. Looks like theres an issue on their end, but tough to troubleshoot from my perspective. Thanks.

I'm working on a site and am running some basic audits, including a campaign within Moz.

When I put the domain into any of these tools, including response header checkers, the response is a 302 that says there is a redirect to an Error Page. However, the page itself doesn't redirect, and resolves fine in the browser. But all of the audit tools cant seem to get any information from any of the pages.

What is the best way to troubleshoot what is going on here? Thanks.

I have a review site that has approximately 70 category pages.

I'd like to include a few of them (not all 70) in the footer of the page for easy navigation and to direct the crawlers to the best ones.

Is it advisable to use anchor text of "Category + reviews" or just leave it as "Category".

I certainly dont want it to be overoptimized, but I do think its a good usability cue, so I'd be surprised if it was against guidelines.

Any thoughts?
