Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I suspected that those related products being marked up might not have been good. Good to know. We'll for sure test that out.

Thanks for the recommendation on the blog post and for your help!

Hello,

I work with two ecommerce sites and we've implemented product and review schema back in mid-May. Since implemented, I've seen some of the product prices and review stars start to show up in Google, however, now it seems to be long gone. I've tested sample URLs in Google's rich snippet testing tool and no errors come up and it looks like we have all the required components needed for each schema type.

I know Google doesn't for sure show schema, but these sites are a decent size and trustworthy enough where I think they would be showing it.

Does anyone have an idea on what I'm missing? Have you experienced something like this?

Thanks in advance.

I work on a couple ecommerce sites that are on IIS. Both sites have return a 200 header status for the CAPS and non CAPS version of the URLs. While I suppose it would be ok if the canonicals pointed to the same version of the page, in some cases it doesn't (ie; /Home-Office canonicalizes to itself and /home-office canonicalizes to itself). I came across this article (http://www.searchdiscovery.com/blog/case-sensitive-urls-and-seo-case-matters/) that is a few years old and I'm wondering how much of an issue it is and how I would determine if it is/isn't?

I work with a number of ecommerce sites that have dynamically-created urls based off of product attributes we've assigned in our cms. I am updating a handful of these attributes to more seo-friendly terms because they are outdated but am not certain how to go about redirecting all the urls that each attribute is in/could be in.

For example: If I had the attributes hoagie and beanie and changed them to sandwich and headwear, a dynamic url might change like this:

• .com/hoagie/french-bread ---> .com/sandwich/french-bread
• .com/beanie/hoagie/novelty ----> .com/headwear/sandwich/novelty

Since the urls are dynamically created, I am not sure how I go about redirecting all of them, or if I need to redirect all of them at all (instead just redirecting the urls indexed by Google, etc.)

I also have a number of links within copy on each of the sites that contain linked anchor text using attributes that will be changing. I am assuming I will need to 301 each of these or update them manually to reflect the new attributes.

I am new to the seo field and would appreciate any and all advice or direction to guides and tutorials that could aid me with this project.  Thanks!

Hi Kasy,

I'm curious - did you sign on with Catch Marketing?

Thanks.

Hi,

I've been watching the Total Indexed number for 4 domains that I work with for the last few months. In Google Webmaster Tools three of them were holding steady up until August-September, when suddenly they started declining by hundreds of thousands of URLs a week.

I've asked my IT department and they say they haven't done anything technically different in the last few months that would affect indexation. I've also searched on google and on search marketing blogs to see if anyone else has experience this to no avail.

As you can see in the image, the "Not Selected" pages have not increased so it appears this is not due to duplicate content (of which we have a lot). However, the "Ever Crawled" number is increasing.

The only reasonable answer that I can conclude is that Google is now de-indexing inactive URLs? Anyone have a better answer?
