Hi Corey!

Since they are so similar and basically just variations of the same keyword, I would say to stick to one page. What you can do is research which variation has the highest search volume and use that on the title tag. You can then make sure to use that same variation on the H1(on-page title), then you can use a couple of the variations throughout the actual on-page text (don't over do it...). Also, if you have an image, make sure to use one of the variations as the alt text...Lastly share it socially, and work on some inbound links using the variations above as anchor text.

it is a best practice to have a mobile XML sitemap and is a way of informing Google that you do have mobile content. As far as a reason to "not" create one, as far as I know, Google still has one index for regular web and mobile, and it is also a best practice to set the canonical link elements of on your mobile site to point to your regular site. Lastly, as long as the site identifies the device the visitor is using, and serves the right version you should be okay.

Hope this helps at least to point you on the right direction!

Does anyone know of a good way to be able to track traffic from Google's display network to a site since this traffic doesn't show up under paid search traffic in Omniture?

Thanks!

Found an answer to my own question. Omniture doesn't count the clicks from the content network towards paud search:

https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/669/kw/measuring+display+network+clicks

So I've been noticing that the "searches" being recorded in Omniture for my paid search campaigns are closer to the total number of clicks that I get on my "search" campaign. However, when I look at the total number of clicks the discrepancy between the two is high...I'm talking 30 to 40% difference....

So I was thinking that perhaps neither Omniture nor Google Analytics really count clicks coming from the "Content Network" as searches or visits?

Would anyone agree to this, or does anyone have any other clever ideas?

Thanks!!

Thank you for your comment, Dan! Yes, I would love to hear if anyone has any good suggestions as far as platforms go.

Just like any other piece of duplicate content, you can use canonical link elements to specify the original piece of content (if there's indeed more than one identical piece). You could also block these types of files in the robots.txt, or use noindex-follow meta tags.

Hi All!

I want to know what people think about having forums on their sites. Do you still find value on these, or are they mostly a waste of resources? Would it be better to use facebook's registration plugin or something along those lines?

Any other thoughts or suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Margarita

Does anyone know for sure if search engine bots still crawl links on a page whose canonical tags are set to a different page? So in short, would it be similar to a no-index follow?

Thanks!
