Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, similar response to Andreas but I suppose a bit stronger. Rule of thumb is that with every redirect you use up Google's processing power (meaning it's likely to spend less time elsewhere on your site) and that you lose some link equity at each step. So, if we're answering the question "is a redirect chain less-than-ideal for SEO?" then I would say yes - we should remove redirect chains where we can. However, the question we're answering is "does a redirect chain have any impact on rankings?" To be honest there is a huge range there. If we're talking about one redirect chain, which has two hops (the least problematic version of having a redirect chain) then it's probably unlikely to cause too many issues. It'd be a nice-to-fix but not something I'd spend 5 hours dev time sorting out. If you're talking about thousands of links on your site going through multiple redirect hops, that becomes much more problematic and I'd want to get that fixed more urgently. Unfortunately, as with many things in SEO, the answer here is "it depends". Hope that helps!

I always include the site name in the title. It will also help from a brand search perspective for people to click through to your page.

No, Bing doesn't use it.  Source from Bing's Duane Forrester. Also here: "But as the engines get smarter with and about signals, and as new, trustworthy signals are grown and adopted, the SEO of yore becomes a bit less relevant. No one really cried when we all walked away from tags after they were inundated with spam. No one cried when keyword density became a passé topic, largely covered up in the then somewhat novel approach of “making quality content”."

No-followed links don't usually pass SEO authority across, negative or positive. Unless you begin to notice a specific and isolated impact on related rankings, I honestly wouldn't worry too much. No-followed links usually don't affect SEO (period) You could always just disavow the domain(s) if you really wanted to, then even if they removed the no-follow tags you'd still be unaffected. In my opinion I wouldn't do anything if the links are all 100% no-followed anyway

Hi Have seen it impact many sites. Most down, a few up.  It is the continuation of the roll out or tweaking of the medic update.  So the first major update August 18, then March 19 and then the June one referenced. It was poorly named as the medic update - it really should be called the "entity update" or the "trump update".  Most are saying it is about content - it is far more complicated than that.  We have recovered a few sites from the August update.  If your business sits within "YMYL" verticals - then there is plenty to be done.  Usually, the largest job however in time, is a content audit, and then a re-write as the content usually coming up short on audit.  The technical elements are just as critical from schema markup to uniform citations etc. Not sure it helps, but your not alone.

Hi, So the situation looks like this website domain1.co.uk in not regional - it's in only for UK but had multiple languages polish language pages on domain1.co.uk website were redirected (301 redirect) to domain2.com  but with /pl "bit" so: domain1.co.uk/page1 > domain2.com/pl/page1 and domain1.co.uk/page2 > domain2.com/pl/page2 when user in UK look for Polish keywords, for some the keywords, the result is correct (it shows domain2.com/pl/page2) and for some Polish keywords user in UK got served domain2.com/page2.  Please notice that in both cases is the same location and different polish keywords. pages on both sites was mostly "mirrored" which means article in Polish had English equivalent, so even when Polish user gets to English page, it's still relevant, thus increasing bounce rate as user don't necessary have to understand it. Would you need more info to get clearer picture of the situation? Thank you.

Meta keywords haven't been used for over a decade

Not a problem. Just remember that web user's browsers, Google's crawlers and SEO-tool crawlers all tend to react to certain factors a little differently Never lose sight on pleasing Google first. Never lose sight that Google wants to please users the most (as without them, all their ad-revenue disappears)

Hi, When it comes to related questions there is nothing specifically you can do. It's similar to featured snippets. You should make sure that your content is clean and easy to read. You can also look at some over the related questions that you want to be included in and see how the websites that currently are included have their content written. Hope this information helps!
