Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

I have the following line in my .htaccess:
RewriteRule privacy stdpage.php?slug=privacy [L]

So if you go to the www.mysite.com/privacy it takes the stdpage.php with the argument above.

But if you go to www.mysite.com/privacysssssssss catches the same file.

How can I prevent this? It will give me multiple URLs with the exact same content. I have a 404 page which i would like to show instead when the match is not 100%.

Thank you. I have done so. No need to not get the juice

I mean that in webmaster tools Google has some links lige http://www.betxpert.com/links/football.asp which a URL from the old site. There are a lot of these registeret with an 500 error in GWT.

The link section would be a collection of good links for sports bettors. Partner links, interesting statistical links. Not a whole lot of crappy links

You say to be careful? Why and how?

Hi all,

I am currently thinking about adding a link section to my site. In 2010 I released a new version of the site, where one of the main differences to the old site was that a link section was left out.

Now i see in webmaster tools that a lot of old links are still indexed but has a 500 error.

My question is:

1. Will my site in general benefit from having a link sections with relevant links for the users - in terms of SEO?

2. Will my site benefit from creating a link section and having all the old link section URLs in google redirected to the new section?

Best regards,

Rasmus

Hi,

We are on the verge of selling some of our content articles to a business partner. But my concern is about the content appearing severeal places on the web. It will most likely be labelled as duplicate content. The articles have links to our site, so link building-wise it would be great to benefit from these.

What would the best solution be?

1. If I ask the partner to set pages to noindex - google will not label it as duplicate content.

2. If the partner sets the pages with a canonical link to our page, will this be okay SEO wise?

10 on google.dk - so it could use a bit of improvement.

Well, actually. We have lots of visitors, and the blog/forwarding site would probably not serve much other purpose than SEO and a bit trafficing.

But if i was to create some content on a blog for link building to my main site, would it be beneficiary to do it on a domain with a keyword in the domain name or does it not matter?

Hi all,

I am currently working on link building to our site http://www.betxpert.com which has a number of keywords I am targeting. I have become aware that domains with the keywords are available. We (in Danish) target the phrase "ekpert tips" and the domain www.eksperttips.dk is available.

Would it be a good thing for us, to register this domain and do one of the following things:

a) DNS forward traffic to our main site

b) Build a small blog with minor content and linking to the main site with text links with the tekst "ekspert tips"?

c) Simply do nothing, save the money and spend it otherwise...

Hope someone can give me a sound advice.

Best regards,

Rasmus

Exactly - I want to show some information for the users coming from Google

Great - thank you!

Hi all,

I am trying to optimize our landing pages in order to getting new visitors to make an action instead of leaving. But in order to so, I need to be able to identify when a user comes from a Google search and when a user does not.

Can anyone help me? The site is written in PHP.

Best regards,

Rasmus

Hi,

I have earlier had a post about this, but still I am in doubt. I posted: http://www.seomoz.org/q/page-not-being-indexed

The keyword "betsafe" in that question has now "bounced" back and is now the page shown in SERPS for the search keyword. This is great, however I don't know why. By checking the URL in OSE i have discovered that the page has in-links from SEOmoz.org. Which comes from the above questions thread.

Can it really be, that these 2 links from SEOmoz forum has done the difference? We appareantly have zero links from other sites to the URL, despite actually having them on another site.

Now we are having trouble with keyword: "bet365" which should show page http://www.betxpert.com/bookmakere/bet365 but does not (on google.dk).

I have optimized the page as far as I can stretch it without doing in in an unnatural way. Only thing left to do is bring down number of links.

What is your advice? Should I simply try to link build for the URL with the keyword - and then it will beat our other pages which seem to steal the SERPS?

-Rasmus

So! Have now made some changes.

I have removed the large number of links at the bottom and a single widget on the right. It seems to have lowerede the level of noise on the page.

We brandish our articles with keywords (but mostly new ones since the feature is new) such that only relevant articles are linked (in a widget which appears when relevant articles are found).

This change should cut it, right?

Hi,

We have a whole lot of articles on our site. In total 5232 actually.

The web crawler tells me that in the articles we have a lot of duplicate content. Which is sort of nonsense, since each article is unique. Ah, some might have some common paragraphs because they are recurring news about a weekly competition.

But, an example:

http://www.betxpert.com/artikler/bookmakere/brandvarme-ailton-snupper-topscorerprisen

AND

http://www.betxpert.com/artikler/bookmakere/opdaterede-odds-pa-sportschef-situationen-pa-vestegnen

These are "duplicate content", however the two article texts are not the same. The menu, and the widgets are all the same, but highly relevant to the article.

So what should I do? How can i rid myself of these errors?

-Rasmus

I am not able to click on the link? I get an SEOmoz page?

Can you post the link again and make sure that that it is clickable to the correct address?

Also, when you are at it, post the method of redirect. Is it .htaccess or is it done in the code?

If done correctly, then yes you should be forwarded. So something is not correct.

-Rasmus

As the title says:

Do anchor links pointing to bottom/top of page count as link?

This page:

http://www.betxpert.com/forum/bookmakere/vis/ladbrokes-kommentar

I has over 300 links, but I don't see that many links. Is it the "#15" and the top/bottom of page anchors that count?

Is this harmful in terms of link juice?
