Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Just to clarify - they use

and

<title>..</title>

?

In the campaign section you paste in keywords separated by comma tab or newline.

<embed id="Siber_embed1" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 0px; height: 0px; position: fixed; display: block;" type="application/rf-np-plugin">

Hi there,

The URLs are viewed as different due to the campaign tracking variables being appended to the end and hence it appears as though you have duplicate content.

You can resolve this by using the canonical tag.

hope this helps!

If its your domain then perhaps you can get access to the DNS file from your provider.  This will list all the sub-domains OR login to the control panel.

If you have access to a Linux command line you can run the dig command:

dig @your-domains-primary-name-server ea.com axfr

Hope this helps.

Looks like its now sorted!

Checked link: http://www.plasticstorage.com/

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://plasticstorage.com/

Check out Google's First Click.

Implementation of this allows you to include restricted content in Google's main index.

I think it could help with what you want to achieve.

Hi there,

I doubt there will be any latency difference between the US and UK or Germany.  Just go with a provider who has good network/peering.

Here's a good video on where to host when targeting particular country etc.  Should answer your questions.

Hope this helps.

just noticed this post is a little old. You seem to ranking no1 for the phrase now..

I've seen a similar thing with yellow pages business page ranking higher than the actual company website -

awesomeplumber.com

I've not looked into it yet so can't say with any certainty but there are many factors at play.  Could hazard a guess that trip advisor has greater amount of back links/higher quality back links.

it will be related to the code/logic of your site creating the duplicate pages.  You could work out why/update the code so you only have 1 page for each product OR you could use the rel canonical tag to resolve the issue.

Just thought...as you appear to have so many duplicate pages it may be quicker to look at the logic of the site and fix it all in one go.

The redirect is still a 302:

Checked link: http://www.plasticstorage.com/

Type of redirect: 302 Moved Temporarily

Redirected to: http://plasticstorage.com

Change the type of redirect to a 301 - this is done at the server level usually.

Unless I'm mistaken they appear to be identical duplicate pages.

Hey David,

sorry but I don't understand - where are you seeing the difference in traffic.  Its been one of those days.  I'll catch on in sec!

cheers

I'd still strongly recommend fixing the 301 redirect.  The preference in the GWT tools is kinda like a soft preference.

Can you show 2 URSs that are deemed to be the same/duplicate?

Its in respect to the data from the Google keywords tool api -

exact match - Allows your ad to show for searches that match the exact phrase exclusively

broad match 
Allows your ad to show on similar phrases and relevant variations

Hi

I'd maybe create the pages from the second site on the first site (if it fits)and set-up multiple 301 redirects.  If you have any anchor text links the 301 redirects will match them up on the new site.

site2.com/wood-rafts >> 301 >> site1.com/wood-rafts site2.com >> 301 >> site1.com

whether its a good idea depends on your business goals etc

hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi

I think it takes data from Google keywords tool data to determine keyword difficulty so I guess if the Google keyword tool data changes then this would be reflected in the keyword difficulty tool results.  although don't quote me on this!

Hi there,

One issue is that your www.plasticstorage.com is a 302 redirect to plasticstorage.com.  You should update this to a 301 redirect.  This will be causing a few issues.

I think the SEOMoz tool shows content that it deems duplicate in the report.  Can you post some examples of pages that are deemed duplicate?

Cheers.

One take on this would be to add a 301 redirect one of the URLs onto to the other.  As Vjay mentioned this would look after any inbound links to the page.

this post has some good info also

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/301-redirect-or-relcanonical-which-one-should-you-use

I think you should return a 404 page if content no longer exists.  The internet is always changing and 404 pages are a normal part of that.

You can return a 404 page, which is useful to users.

If you have a 404 page, which has backlinks to it then you can use a 301 to redirect to a related page or correct page if someone has linked incorrectly.

Hope this helps.
