Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Elisa,

It looks like it's pretty simple, when I crawl your Web site with Screaming Frog I only found 11 pages too. The reason is that the other pages aren't linked from the 11 pages found during a crawl. I would recommend to link to your other pages as well so these pages are found.

Hope this helps!

The other solution is of course asking your client to grant you access as an admin of their FB page. It's a bit of a work around but it will work.

Hi Jean-Louis,

Why don't you just create a robots.txt file for the multisite domain addresses you used to prepare your client sites for. By doing this you will exclude Google from crawling your sub domain and make sure that they ignore the rest of the URLs. This should definitely increase your chances of removing the duplicate urls out of their index.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ahmet,

You could give it at try by add the lines to your robots.txt for a second and testing your sitemap from within Google Webmaster Tools to see if it's working. I can't give you a definitive answer on this one. In the cases I handled I just accepted that these sitemaps were ranking for some long long long tail queries.

Hi Ahmet,

I've seen this a dozen times, somehow Google thinks site maps are in some way great content as they are putting them within the search results. But by using the Disallow in your robots.txt Google won't be able to find your sitemap, or at least they will provide you with an error because you excluded them.

Hope this helps!

Hi Kristi,

I would definitely recommend watching the Webmaster video by Matt Cutts where he explains a bit how Google determines who is the original source. The video could be found here. In summary he explains that there are several ways to determine for Google who's been the first writer of the article.

Hope this helps shine a little light on this!

Hi Akram,

Not if you tag them in the right way by using for example the hreflang tags to do this. A lot of Web sites are doing this, they create blog posts and translate them into multiple languages by using sub folders per country.

If you would only create these blog posts and don't make them unique to their language, by not making clear which language the blog post is written in it makes it hard for Google to distinguish if your trying to spam (or not).

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi Russel,

Michael King of iAcquire wrote a great blog post about keeping your social sharing counts after a sites migration. I would recommend reading his article, here on Search Engine Watch. While it will probably be hard if you're not a developer to integrate this within the WP plugin you're using for this.

Hope this helps!

You can't, the best way to do this is to select all the keywords for the specific label, just delete the label and re add a new one with the new name. For now within Pro Tools there's no other option than this.

Hi Sophie,

For now Open Site Explorer is not supporting HTTPS, however in this post within their help section. They suggest that the addition of HTTPS domains will be somewhere around March this year. With March already halfway if you're lucky it will be deployed within the upcoming two weeks. But I wouldn't put my money on it ;-).

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi Faye,

I'm not sure if this is actually the main reason your Web site is not indexed but if you check Google's cached **text **version. You'll see that the links within your menu could not be found by Google. So this is probably causing that the Google bots won't crawl any more pages as they don't know how to find these pages on the Web site itself.

Hope this helps a bit!

Yeps, that's exactly what we saw in our graphs too. I found a screenshot of this within one of my old documents which show exactly this. Take a look at this screenshot.

This happend to one of the sites I worked on before, we saw a decline in visits through out the week which was a pretty normal phenomenon. It was just the weekly routine for people looking for our products back then. At the end of the week they wouldn't search for any product related information and starting on Sunday evening throughout Tuesday they started searching for these products.

Based on the explanation you gave me I wouldn't say this is related to something like a weekly EMD update or any other update.

It looks like to me the criteria are that you need to be a big brand to get your own search box within the search results. It could be that these sites are hand picked. Search Engine Land covered this topic a couple of years ago. Read the article here.

Hi,

What you might want to do to get rid of this issues within SEOMoz is add the parameters to your robots.txt file and specifically target the user agent of SEOMoz: Rogerbot. This way SEOMoz won't crawl the links with this parameter and by doing that also won't warn you about these duplicate titles.

Hope this helps!

Btw. As James already mentioned I would also recommend to configure these parameters within Google Webmaster Tools.

Hi,

As far as I know this is not possible, also the answer/ question you mentioned doesn't speak about including multiple sitemap indexes within a sitemap index. He's referring to multiple sitemaps within a sitemap index which is of course very normal.

As also mentioned within the error section of the Google Webmaster Help part about the Sitemaps: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35738 there's an related error to this: Incorrect Sitemap index format: Nested Sitemap indexes.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

In theory this is indeed not helping each other. Because as you've already mentioned yourself the first keyword will also trigger the second one. However when you're using negative keywords or you may want to adjust bids for these keywords differently it could be useful to use both keywords.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The answer is neither are accurate. But the best answer on this one is given by Ryan Kent in a previous thread about this issue. "If you want the most comprehensive link data, it is best to use numerous backlink tools and combine the data." - Ryan.

I would definitely suggest to combine the data itself as both aren't fully accurate.

Hi Ignitas,

To get some insights into what urls are linking to a 404 page the best would be to export your Crawl Diagnostics to CSV. These files contain the urls linking to your pages.

Hope this helps a bit! But I would still suggest to the Moz team to include this feature within the PRO tools.

Hi David,

To answer your first question, in a couple of our back link profiles for our projects I don't see any links referring from Twitter.com. I would guess that the tweets are shown within the toolbar under social.

Hope this helps a bit!
