Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Iqbal,

Open this page and edit out the URL then redirect this URL to new URL that you create by using redirection wordpress plugin.

Let me know if you still have any problem in it .

Hi Iqbal,

Have you setup targeted country as Pakistan in Google webmaster tool ? Have you listed you website in Google Local Map ? Have you listed your website in major Pakistan's Directory ? I have checked five three home page blogpost, they have very less content in comparison to your  ads on your page. Its look look like you have just created blog for ads, you are not highlighting content but your ads.

Hi Iain,

In this case your have to 301 redirect to your preferred version URL. If I say from seo point of view please check which version has backlink. Then redirect less backlink version URL to more backlink version URL.

Hi Ayaz,

As far as you are linking to webpage that are relevant to your blogpost and helpful to your visitor if he navigate to that link for additional information. According to me, you should provide the dofollow link ( as credit ) to awesome blogpost or content. When you don't trust the information ( comment on blogpost), you can use nofollow tag.

Your post Pagerank depends on incoming links and social shares.

Hi Luke,

You are not going to face penalty from search engine for these issue. I have the same issue with my client but I have Google webmaster access of each site. I download all duplicate html then forward to client to aware them of this issue. Most of the client provide me access after checking too many duplication errors. But if I don't get access, I check backlink profile of both version and continue my seo effort on version which has more backlink.

Hope this help you out....

Its not going to harm your website but if you really want fix it out then put "noindex" meta robot tag into those pages ( 4th option).

Hi Rahul,

• Google Places results normally comes in search when your search term has location name.

• If the author has implemented author profile with website then only you will see Google author image in search results.

• Its obvious you will see different result in Google.com and Google.co.in

May I know the search term you have searched and from which location ?

Yes Ayaz, you have to edit out the content and Title ( include targeted keywords ). Don't change the URL as it might have some incoming links.

Hi,

Wait for some time, Let the Google index all new pages.

Have you redirected all old pages to respective new pages ? Have you submitted the XML sitemap to Google through webmaster ?  Is it possible to share few URLs ?

Hi Iqbal,

I have checked all URLs that you have shared. You have implemented canonical tag perfectly on above all URLs. SEOmoz just provide notice whenever they find canonical tag in page so that you have verify it out. I have verified all your pages, you don't have any error its just alert from seomoz.

Hi Iqbal,

Seomoz has just alert you about canonical tag it might not be a error. Can you share your website URL here or PM for checking error ?

Can you PM me your httaccess code ? And your website URL ?

It should be on root folder or in "public html" folder.

May I know which platform are you using ? And how you have done 302 redirect ?

If you have done it through httaccess file then KLLC is right, just replace 301 in place of 302.

Have you read 13 point in that blog post ? Please find below:

13. If I run two businesses from the same address, could I simply add a suite number to differentiate?

Yes, but you'll also need to have different phone numbers for each business, even if it's just a forwarding number. Google uses phone number as their unique identifier for the business so they will merge businesses with the same phone number and assume it's a data error instead of two separate businesses. I have seen this happen with clients in the past, and it just can't be fixed without two different phone numbers.

I have opened direct adwords.google.co.uk from India. And its working for me. I am not using any API of Google.
