Welcome to the Q&A Forum

1. Use as many options as possible

2. Think about your product names, name them so they're first word is different on every product. This should be possible.

Blue Team Logo

(Options are better but if you must, title it like that.)

3. It seems like a large task, but take the time to write descriptions differently. It gives you a chance to play around with many keywords and will be very worth it in the end.

Again options are going to be a big help to minimize duplicate descriptions, names and titles.

In Google our main website page url is <cite class="_Rm">www.wheelchairparts.com</cite> it has 25 root domain links & PA 34.

When you go to our website from there, the homepage url is http://www.wheelchairparts.com/store/pc/home.asp it only has 3 root domain links & PA 27.

Do I need to add a 301 Redirect here? What kind of redirect is on it now?

Thanks,

Pete,

You shouldn't have more than 200 links on one page. I don't see why you would need  so many duplicate links, a few yes, but 50%?

1. Side wide vs homepage - Site Wide links should only be the top level categories and information pages like About Us or Contact Us

2. Follow vs nofollow - Follow = better, nofollow = still good.

3. Anchor text and descriptive text - Company Name + Web Design

4. Alternatives or extra link opportunities - Only legit and related sites!

Andy,

I agree, I am not getting much help from our developers. All I know is these url's shouldn't be there and I can't even access them on the back end, only the one original product page.

I don't know how to remove them.

Thanks,

I know a few of these problems come from products being in the same categories but I have no idea how to get rid of the url's that are showing duplicate content when the product is in the exact same place. Hard to explain, but here are URL examples.

Any Idea's how to fix / get rid of these URL's?

Thanks!

Hello,

On top of just keywords I would highly recommend Moz Local.

If you use them you won't need to worry about location keywords. People will find you there.

Hello,

Could you make a nofollow link or copy url to your site?

Hello,

Make sure you have no errors in webmaster tools. Then, Link building is a MUST! Open Site Explorer will help you with that A LOT.

A quick way to figure this out.

Copy a entire paragraph from the content in question. Paste the whole paragraph into Google search.

any close matches? Then It is duplicate.

Thanks!

Brooke,

Are you going to be keeping the url for your main product? If that is the case, you shouldn't have to worry about losing any juice, only waiting to gain it. Your product pages will actually gain page authority for having less products under a category. If you do redo the url's there will be a slight fall for a while, but use Webmaster Tools to manually re-index your main pages and it will be quick.

Thanks,

Jamie,

You should update your sitelinks with Google at least once a month. They know when you've re updated it. A date inside the document shouldn't make a difference.

Brooke,

Having a website with many similar products, I know what you're experiencing. The best move would be to have as many attributes on one page as possible. Colors, Sizes, Slightly different styles. Less products with a higher quality will also improve the shoppers experience and keep them on one page.

Thanks,

Greg,

Google taking out their keyword information is quite upsetting. Google webmaster tools however gives you a decent report of top traffic keywords to your site. And SEMrush does a good job as well. You could just pay one months worth to figure this out and pause your campaign until needed again.

Thanks,

Hello,

I would suggest looking at Google Analytics for your own pages to figure this out. There are many possible ways for people to get to your page and Analytics may show you the exact metric.

If one page is getting traffic through any source it will help it rank.

Hello,

I looked this up with open site explorer and it appears a lot of your linking domains look pretty spammy. One step would be to disavow those links and focus on getting better one's. (Your top few are really good links.)

Thanks,

Hello,

If the article is sponsored by you and is all about you, I would request no-follow. If it was not sponsored by you (but still by someone) and there is only a brief mention of you and a link I would keep that as a follow. At the bottom of this article from woorank it explains similar circumstances.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

How much can this affect that specific page?
