Welcome to the Q&A Forum

what is best recommended when some of the pages on site goes from HTTP to HTTPS: 301 redirection or 302 redirection?
and why?

thank you

I was asked to elaborate so:

on my website I have open account pages. users are asked to fill the details. those page are secured and are HTTPS. the problem is that the whole website turned to HTTPS so they redirected most of the pages from HTTPS to HTTP.
the secured pages are redirected from HTTP to HTTPS.

I wanted to check if it's correct and what is the best redirection way (301 or 302)

Hi.

Do you recommend that a company's Facebook Page be just the Brand Name, or should it include some keywords in the title?

Thank you everyone for your input. Unfortunately, the situation is not resolved yet. I will update if there is any change or if I figure out a way to do this.

We were linking regularily from the website to both Facebook pages (posts that contained links to the website) - each page from its respective language on the website. Otherwise, the English website has more link-building done on it than the other language.

Hi,

One of my clients has company Facebook pages in several languages. The page in Arabic, which was targeted at Saudi Arabia, used to rank 5th place on the search for the brand name. The page has a steady growth of followers and a high engagement rate. for the past week it suddenly completely fell off ranking and instead the English page ranks #5 in the results for the brand name in Saudi Arabia. What could have caused this change and what can we do to bring the target language page back to its ranking?

So far, no.  It seems like the only option is transferring all the movies to the new account, but I would lose all our engagement if I were to do that. I'm debating whether to just wait and see if Google will have another update.

Before Google merged Google+ and Youtube, we had opened a  Google+ account for our business from one email account and a separate account on youtube from a separate account. Now that Google merged the two channels, it created a new G+ page for our youtube account. but I want to merge the youtube account with our formal Google+ page.

How do I go about doing that

Thank you

Hello again Jon,

I already do that, it's the same like Firefox; When the Mozbar is on "Hide Mode" it's work fast but when this cause the browser performance to be slower.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

thank you for your answer. maybe I missed something but I don't think that it answered my question.

it doesn't matter where I put my link, I want to be able to tag the link with google URL builder and than to shorten the address in a way that will include my domain name.

I want to track the data from google analytics and not from other platforms

hi,
in my business Facebook page I have my website address. I want to track how many people arriving through this URL address to my site. I want to use URL builder but the final URL is too long and not pretty. I thought about using bitly.com but I need that the address on my page will contain the name of my brand.

any ideas hot to shorten the URL address and still be able to track the data?

thank you all.

Hi Jon,

I have the latest version of Moz toolbar for Firefox (see attachment please).

I already tried Chrome version and it's feel like working a bit better but still affecting negatively on browser speed.

This is particularly noticeable when opening new tabs and crossing between tabs.

I hope we'll solve this issue asap.

Thanks

I'm considering to implement google site search bar into my site.
I think I probably choose the version without the ads (I'll pay for it).

1. does anyone use Google Site Search and can tell if it's a good thing?
2. does it affects in any way on seo?

thank you

Hi Joel,

I tried to turn off all my add-ons and keep running with Moz toolbar only and it's still makes the browser very slower than before. When I turn off Moz toolbar the browser speed up again.

I really like Moz toolbar but which options do I have now to make it work perfectly with Firefox?

Thanks

Hello,

One of my clients posts a daily review of the finance market.

it's been a discussion in our SEO team, whether to add the title to the URL or to write the date of the daily review in the URL instead.

Adding keywords instead of dates:

advantage: Adding keywords to the URL helping getting ranked for those keywords.
disadvantage: the URL comes out too long.

what do you suggest in this case? keeping the keywords in the URL or adding dates instead and lose one of the important factors which affects getting ranked for the specific keywords.

Hello,

One of my clients wants to know how many leads he gets from the organic search, he has Affiliate ID's for the Social media and for his affiliate websites, but now he wants to know how many leads he gets from the organic search.

According to his affiliate program there are some leads without affiliate ID's but not all of them from the organic search big part of those leads are from "refer a friend program" and leads that were entered the system manually.

Is there anyway in Google Analytics or any other program that can track the leads who come to my client website from searching for the brand name or concepts/long tails and registered/opened a new account ?

Hello,

I have a question about adding Affiliate ID's to links.

I receive a DoFollow link to my website with an affiliate ID in order to track the leads and the traffic that comes from each affiliate link/website.

• does this link (with the affiliate ID) pass Juice from the affiliate website? (I use canonical link element on my website pages)?

• how does Google deals with links with affiliate IDs ?

• is adding Affiliate ID to links reduces it's value?

Hello,

One of my clients has a Facebook page for his company, and his social media manager posts some promotional and educational posts on daily basis. the social media manager uses affiliate ID's in the destination URL to track traffic and leads that come from the social media and to make it look nicer he uses shortcut links service - bitly.

Now I have a few questions about this:

• I don't see traffic comes from bit.ly or bitly.com in Google Analytics, my question: is using 301 redirect makes Google Analytics understand that the last website which sent the traffic to my website is not the actual Referral website?

• Is using shortcut links in the social media damages the links value (even though they are <nofollow>links - but still considered as signals from social media</nofollow>

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a page for opening an account in my website, this page is not accessible from my website menu, the only way to reach this page if you have the URL, I send the URL for specific users I want them to open an account in my system.

I have two questions regarding this:

• does this harm or cause damages to my website SEO ?
• blocking this page in Robots.txt will cause any issue/will help ?

waiting for your answer.
Thanks in advance,
Joni.

Hi,

I've noticed that Google indexing some of my pages as regular http, like this:

http://www.example.com/accounts/‎

and some pages are being indexed as https, like this:

https://www.example.com/platforms/‎

When I've performed site audit check in various SEO tools I got something around +450 pages duplicated and showing me pairs of the same URL pages, one time with http and one time with https.

In our site there is the possibility for people to register and and open an account, later on to login to our website with their login details.

In our company I'm not the one that is responsible for the site's maintenance and I would like to know if this is an issue, and if this is an issue - to know what causing it and how to fix it so I'll be able to forward the solution to the person in charge.

Additionally I would like to know in general, what is the real purpose of https vs. http and to know what is the preferred method that our website should use. Currently when URLs are typed manually to the address bar, all the URLs are loading fine - with or without https written at the start of each URL.

I'm not allowed to expose our site's name, this is why I wrote example.com instead, I hope you can understand that.

Thank you so much for your help and I'm looking forward reading your answers.
