Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Frank,

I've been looking for such tool myself but so far nothing found. I use the internal site search and the site operator in Google for posts on similar topic and link from them.

Best,

Lily

Hi all,

We have a lot of FAQ sections on our website, splitted in different places, depending on products, technologies, etc. If we want to optimize our content for Google's Featured Snippets, Voice Search and etc. - what is the best option:

• to combine them all in one FAQ section?

• or it doesn't matter for Google that this type of content is not in one place?

Thank you!

Thanks, Jordan.

Thanks, Andy! I will check your tool suggestion.

(Closing this thread as no one else participated.)

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible for Google to diregard the canonical tag, if for example they decide it is wrongly put based on behavioural data.

On the Natviscript Blog's individual blog posts there is a canonical tag for the www.nativescript.org/blog/details (printscreen - http://prntscr.com/e8kz5k). In my opinion it should not be there, and I've put request to our Engineering team for removal some time ago. Interestingly, all blog posts are indexed and got decent amount of organic traffic despite the tag.

What do you think? Could it be that Google would disregard the tag based on usage data from let's say GA?

Thanks,

Lily

Hey, guys,

We are using the pro-sitemaps.com tool to automate our sitemaps on our properties, but some of them give this error "This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location" for all the urls.

Strange thing is that not all of them are with the error and most have all the urls indexed already.

Do you have any experience with the tool and what is your opinion?

Thanks

Hi guys,

We're in the process of moving one of our sites to a newer version of the CMS. The new version doesn't support page extensions (.aspx) but we'll keep them for all existing pages (about 8,000) to avoid redirects. The technical team is wondering about the new pages - does it make any difference if the new pages are without extensions, except for usability?

Thanks!

Valuable tips are shared here, fellow SEOMOZers! It also worth adding some other ideas:

• build your authentic profiles in the social web (create Facebook, Twitter, G+ profile) and foster the communication with your clients and suppliers (if relevant). Listen to them, follow them, share their content and promote their content. By doing this, you should manage to "sell" your content in a better way as you will have a community that you converse with you. Make sure that you regularly check for those people who influence the others and craft a strategy to attract them on your side (it depends on your website topic + whether it is B2B or B2C). Social media activities not only help you expand your reach among your most relevant prospects, but also aid you generate positive social signals which search engines pay attention to.

• if your client does not run a startup company, then it's time to look back and find those people who shared the content, who tried to establish a conversation and outreach to them with something hot that you have right now for your company/product

• don't forget your customers, once you've acquired them, always get back to find out what they like about your product and how they use it. Make a contest, a giveaway or simply support a community that is relevant to your website and is committed to giving to the others. You will show that you care about growing communities and by supporting non-commercial initiatives, you will show the genuine human nature of your company. Don't simply acquire, but give  and you will receive even more.

I would like to also highlight what Matt has said, just make sure that your links are diversified, don't use the same anchors all over again. Additionally, it's important to monitor and watch our for suspicious spikes in your links (add links gradually over the time and conduct an audit for negative SEO, caused by a competitor...)

• Even though this is directly related to your question, I just want to quickly remind you not to overlook the power of good interlinking. Start establishing a good internal structure for your website first and then proceed with the link building process.

Excited about this discussion, it's nice to follow new tips and exchange knowledge after the latest G updates.

Cheers

Hi guys, we're in the process of implementing rel=author markup on our blogs containing more than 3,000 posts. They are written by about 50 different people, and some of them don't blog anymore or are no longer with the company.

Should we have rel=author for all blog posts, even those published in 2006?

Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

Our UX designers are working on a new page design, and the breadcrumb position looks somewhat strange - it's almost in the middle of the page.

The new page looks like this (the breadcrumb is below the head banner), but it's a showcase page that contains about 150 items. Each of them has a small thumbnail, title, category and short description. They've decided to use the head banner's place and have there all items, grouped in categories that visitors can browse. The breadcrumb menu is at 900 pixels from the top of the page

In other words, you have the major part of this page content in front of the breadcrumb menu.

Are there any SEO implications in such case? Should we use breadcrumbs on this page if they're not at the top?

Thanks,
Maggie
