Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If the site content is exactly the same Google will see them as duplicate content. If the site content is different Google will see them as separate sites, however you will now have two sites competing for ranking with one another. Google usually sees the m.domain as for mobile but not always. I tend to use a user agent redirect which detects if users are on mobile based browsers and redirects them to the m.domain. So you can keep your normal listing in Google, yet when users click on it on a mobile device they will be redirected to the mobile page.

I think I answered the same question you posted before, but did you try and use canonical tags? As I said using noindex and nofollow is probably not the best option if Google doesn't know that it should show http: instead of https.

Have you tried searching for http versions of your site listed? Are there any pages that are just http listed?

Hi these reports were a very good read. You need to sign up to get them though.

You would ideally use one email address to give continuity and to monitor and manage all your locations under one account. In fact I don't understand why you would have two accounts for two Google Places unless they were separate businesses.

Hi, this was recently asked at http://www.seomoz.org/q/following-penguin-what-is-the-best-practice-for-a-web-design-agency-placing-a-footer-link-in-client-sites. I added in the conversation and there may be answers you are looking for there.

You can change your page file names to your keywords. Make sure they are relevant to the actual page and not overly spammy.

so for example your kitchen quote page could be renamed from:

http://www.enchantingquotes.com/kitchenbath.html

to

http://www.enchantingquotes.com/**kitchen-****and-bath-quotes.html**

The way to do this is to rename the actual files, you will have to remember to change all links and also add 301 redirects to each new page from the old. You can learn more about how to do that at http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/url and http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection.

It would basically end up as reciprocal links though. Not really benefiting any party. Web design agencies use footer links for their own benefit, as a former web designer I used to do this as well, although I only linked on brand and not as many designers do just now on keywords like 'web design by' or 'website designed by' and not their brand.

Many designers do link back to their clients in the form of portfolios and case studies, but generally not in the footer.

I saw "look for a job in an industry that is not as developed", I agree totally with you point regarding attacking long tails on PPC. This is a good strategy, but to recommend looking for a new job in a less developed industry is almost like saying just give up and try something easy.

I don't think that is good advice at all, those that think that SEO is not worth doing or impossible in certain sectors either are too lazy or do not know how. Simply throwing money at PPC is an option, and does provide short term benefit, but it's not a long-term solution for continued ROI.

you should possibly try going down the route of having a single link on your clients websites, on the homepage. You want Google to pass good link-juice back to your site, by having 1000x links pointing from every page on a domain back to your site looks like spam and will probably not even be of any value. Your current site probably has tens of thousands of links coming in from only a handful of unique domains.

I would probably go down the route of creating separate accounts and attach them to the main account like client1@agency.com etc.. althought this does mean that you would have to log into each account to access different analytics. It is good practice though to seperate clients like this.

Otherwise you could create a custom naming structure for each advanced segment so they are easily viewable and manageable such as :

Advanced Segment 1 [Client 1]

Advanced Segment 1 [Client 2]

etc..

I feel your pain, but I do not know from my own knowledge if there is a way of categorising advanced segments properly.

This is one of those scenarios where you just have to be creative, tgood content, linkbait and social connection will be key here. Build up a good social following through twitter, facebook, google+ etc.. where you can reach out to users, follow industry specific blogs and become part of the conversation.

Once that following is built you can start syndicating creative linkbait - think of original content for your industry that your followers will appreciate and want to share themselves - think infographics, Whitepapers, video, unique captivating content. This is the kind of stuff that people will start to talk about, link and share themselves on the social and blogospheres building you natural links. It may be hard to achieve, but without a big budget it may be your best option.

Article and PR syndication rarely works, usually it results in low quality, spammy articles with 1 exact anchor link per 250 words. Looks tacky and spammy, and I am sure it looks the same to Google.

Change them to your brand. Avoid using exact match type competitive keywords like 'web design by..' Google does not penalise exatc brand mentions so much as most commercial websites are expected to receive numerous exact match brand links anyway.

You really should delete the old content that you are redirecting to a new page. If you have forgotten to de index the old page then because it physically exists Google may list that page which technically redirects to page #2. Not good.

The purpose of 301 redirects is to redirect users trying to access a deleted/moved resource to it's new location. I don't see why you would keep the old content where it is.

Try this:

RewriteEngine on

<code>RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ "/$1" [R=301,L]</code>

try adding this to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^princetown.in
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.princetown.in/$1 [R=301,L]

I have done quite a bit of work on this recently, although most of the advice has been not to react and don't do anything. At the very least you need to know what cookies are being used on your site and inform users of their purpose. I would start by reading.

Yes I agree with deep linking to other parts of your site on 1 domain, that is acceptable as the individual pages are different.

My point was using the same page to link to. So having say a link pointing at www.domain.com/page.html on 5 different pages of www.domain2.com is not good practice and Google will not see each link as individual but rather this will only count as one link.

I would definitely say 1 link on 1 site as long as it's on a prominent page, not on some abysmally deep PR 0 page.

I always use metrics of unique inbound domains. I know a lot of SEO'ers use metrics of total backlinks which is a completely false representation of how link building is progressing, but it's easy to show clients a massive number.

Some sites will naturally develop more links on one domain on their own, i.e. blogs that link you in the sidebar and/or footer links. These are now devalued by Google, and I do believe that those sites that had say 100 links coming from one domain were hit hard in the recent penguinanda updates!

I believe you should be able to see in the crawl diagnostics sections. Look for any 4xx (404) errors, this will indicate missing pages. Although I think you cna use Google Webmaster Tools and use the crawl diagnostics section which gives you a list of referring inbound links to the missing pages.

Of course the first thing you should do though is generate 301 redirects from the deleted pages to another page you want the inbound links pointed at.
