Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Charles,

1. Not really, if you make sure that all the pages from site A make their way to either B or C then it won't have a very negative impact on traffic.
2. The most relevant one and the one that's most important. According to the fact that you have more products on B I'd go with that one.

Hi Nancy,

Yes it is, what Google does is they provide the user with a more relevant title in the search results on what they think is better for them. But they will still take the content of the page to do that. So usually they don't make up their own title but use headlines that can already be found on the page.

In this case it would be good to think about how you can provide more content around these topics/ change the title of the page to fix that for users.

SameAs markup probably won't be enough as for now it's really meant to be used for identifying social network accounts for a specific Web site. What I would also look into is marking up your actual content via Schema.org because Google probably will need the data for it's knowledge graph in some structured way at least.

Hi,

Like Kirsten already mentioned, I would definitely go with structured markup. The best thing around these these is JSON-LD to do this so you can separate your structured markup from the rest of the content. In this case I would also re-use the Organization information on your Product pages but also go indeed with the Product Schema. But what you can do as well is make sure that if you have review they're marked up with the Review Schema as well.

Best of luck!

As far as I know in some cases Google will directly try to crawl the right information from the LinkedIn pages when wanting that information. They probably do talk to LinkedIn to make sure they have the data in the right format.

Hi Armen,

Taken into account that these mobile pages are not the AMP variant of them I would say this might become an issue. In the end you're improving the user experience but as you're doing it by creating two pages which are the same based on the content you're not doing the best from the SEO perspective. What I would do is look into using the canonical tags back to one of the two: either mobile or desktop. By doing that you'll make sure that there is only 1 variant of every page out there for SEO.

Martijn.

If you know what URLs there are they probably have a common URL parameter that you could check for in your reports on landing pages. That would make it very easy to check the result for this with a couple clicks. If you want to go advanced than identify the URLs that have issues and run them through the Google Analytics Reporting API

Mwah, this is just a personal opinion. But I would say for now you should be able to get away with this. Sometimes the information provided for a dance class provider isn't that much but overall it doesn't harm the page.

What I would look into for the long run though is the fact that you have these footer links that look a bit spammy: http://take.ms/jN6tJ

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure this is what you're wanting to do, but what you could do is check your competitors. Get all the details from ScreamingFrog, export the data and then do manual checks on the data in Excel to see for certain keywords if they're in the META descriptions. This should be something that you should do manually anyway because a tool can never really help you out in grading it the way you'd like it.

It clearly has an H1 on the page. Maybe the tool can't handle the fact that the H1 has some extra attributes. I would use any other SEO scraper like ScreamingFrog to see if they're able to find the H1 on the page. Which is probably going to be the case, if so then I wouldn't worry at all about your IIS tool not seeing the H1.

Welcome to Dutch link building, overall the quality of links is way lower than the averages in other countries. In some cases the low quality links are still seen as more high quality. We've still got some very popular link farms/ directories that in any other country would directly end up in your disavow file.

It's a tough discussion. We're a news site and we're marking up things as NewsArticle, just a little different again from a blogpost and the article. In the end it probably won't have a huge impact as the schemas are in the same category in the end. That's why it's probably best to just make sure the Schema.org is top notch so you can benefit from it. Just having a Schema.org on your page won't have a huge influence as most of your competitors will have that as well.

I second this, we just implemented a similar thing to make sure that we don't get in trouble with duplicate titles.

Hi Marco,

If the permalink structure is just the post slug then you should be good by changing or adding/removing multiple categories. If it would be the case that the category is part of the URL structure then I would be careful.

There can be upsides in linking to multiple categories as they would get more internal links which would build a better structure.

Martijn.

Completely agree, I really wouldn't want to host my stuff with a company that can't figure out what really the best practices are ;-). This is very well layed out why you shouldn't want to set up your robots.txt like it is right now.

Hi Annette,

Huf is right, it's been asked before in the Moz Q&A but Schema.org or even duplicate content in general on your own domain isn't consider to become a penalty. It just hurts the crawl budget and the quality of your pages. In the case of Schema.org you're completely fine.

Martijn.

Depends on what kind of terms you're competing for. You'll definitely not start ranking for keywords like: facebook and microsoft but if you start with very much long tail keywords having only awesome content should definitely be enough from time to time to start ranking.

Hi,

That's not fun, have you tried adding these pages to Google Search Console and submitting them to the Index from there?

Martijn.

Do the other 31 domains need to be online? Otherwise I would say make sure that you redirect and de-index these domains as soon as possible yourself as they'll definitely can have an impact on the authority of the one that you would like to rank.

That would definitively help. In addition I would look into still adding the pages manually through the Submit to Index feature.
