Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dear Fridends,

I´m working on a brazilian e-commerce ( aqmp.com.br ) focus on female clothes. This is the actual struture:

1. Clothes
1.1 Shirts
1.2 Tshirts
1.3 Blouses
1.4 Pants
1.5 Dresses
1.6 Skirts

2. Acessories 
2.1 bags
2.2 scaves
2.3 belts

3. Jewelry
3.1 necklaces
3.2 bracelets 
3.3 earrings

4. Sale

5 News

Shirts, Thsirts and dresses are the top sellers.... should I use these as main categories or keep as subcategories? Should I keep the top sellers "open" in the menu?

What do you think about Google URL parameters? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1235687

A new client ( aqmp.com.br/ )call me yestarday and she told me since they moved on magento they droped down more than US$ 20.000 in sales revenue ( monthly)...

I´ve just checked the webmaster tool and I´ve just discovered the number of crawled pages went from 3.260 to 75.000 since magento started... magento is creating lots of pages with queries like search and filters. Example:

1. http://aqmp.com.br/acessorios/lencos.html
2. http://aqmp.com.br/acessorios/lencos.html?mode=grid
3. http://aqmp.com.br/acessorios/lencos.html?dir=desc&order=name

Add a instruction on robots.txt is the best way to remove unnecessary pages of the search engine?

thanks Dan, really helpful !-)

thanks Dan,

• are you moving just blog posts, or are you moving pages too?
  Only Blog Posts
• when you say "combine" do you mean put the old blog posts into the new blog section on the new site?
  YEAP!
• you're going to maintain the same theme as is currently on SEO Martin?
  YEAP!
• how do you want this transition to appear publicly? Just that one day, all of a sudden both sites will be combined? Or are you going to do it in stages?
  The fastest as possible, (no stages)
• what are you going to do with the old domain? redirect the old URLs to the corresponding new content?
  I don´t know...   I can redirect posts urls to the new site or just use as second domain, in this case i´m wondering to redirect the same way because permalinks are little bit different

I also know google webmaster tool have a "move your domain" section... but i´cant find information if I should use that before or after the "move" ... thanks Dan !-)

I would like to move all my  old domain content ( dicasdogoogle.com.br) with more than 1200 tutorials pages to a new one (seomartin.com)...  and then unify them.

I´m using wordpress in both but the permalinks are different...   Any tips 4 me folks?

this is somenting I would love to know more!-)

I think news and updates, maybe a blog in your site can make google "feel" it has to come back more times to refresh your site again ( "hum dude, they are doing something there)...  Links to your site and to new articles in social media could help a lot.

If you find anything let us know!-)

Lucid,

I´ve just made a search on google and I found 93 results for your site,   http://www.lucidsoftech.com/ , is that url right?

How many results do you actually own?

make sure you have a robots.txt on public folder. You must allow bots and disallow some folders.

Example of robots.txt of wordpress site

---

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Disallow: /*?
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-content/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /xmlrpc.php
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /tmp

Allow: /wp-content/uploads/

---

use vimeo as default and Youtube for top3 videos. Youtube will increase trafic for the site and your site will use vimeo best quality videos

Header image is great but instead of header.png you could name it the-web-hosting-hero-header.png. The same for others pics

I found something. I´ve just tried to scan your site with screaming frog and i found only 3 results... BUT when I increase the response timout of scanning  I could find 445 itens (256 pages).

You have a issue with your code. page speed can show you few tips!-)

I´m using internet marketing consultant because in the end we have to analyse the whole online marketing strategy; since the beginning to check for searchs and key words ( market) till social midias ( how they will find you on these channels)... in the end it´s all about to find you and how to convert users to clients

I´ve just tought to delete the pages and redirect because It could "transfer" some PR to a new page, (a new machine to sell) and keep the server clean (with less pages and pictures).  Thanks for your toughts

I´ll start posting in a wordpress blog used machines (excavators and wheel loaders) from a local company. They buy used machines every day and sell machines every day also.

When They sold a machine should I:

A) Edit the page with a sold machine text and show similar machines?

B) Change the category of the post ( to something like sold machines)?

C) Make a 301 redirection to one similar machine?

D) Keep the page and Make a 301 redirection to one similar machine?

E) Delete the page and Make a 301 redirection to one similar machine?

F) Keep the page and Make a 301 redirection to top10 machines?

G) Delete the page and Make a 301 redirection to top10 machines?

F) Any Suggestions are welcome

Just perfect Moosa. Thanks a lot 4 your thoughts !-)

Hi there !-)

I´m helping a friend who has a e-commerce about nail polish in Brazil. I´m a little in doubt about the urls and folder structure. Two questions:

1. There are 10 products per category and 50 categories. Should I put them all in the root folder or creat 2 major categories ( 25 sub-categories each one)?

2. Whats the better product page url ( the store has around 500)

• nailpolish.com/IMPORT/BRAND/NAME-OF-THE-PRODUCT OR
• nailpolish.com/COMPLETE-NAME-OF-THE-PRODUCT

Whats the best recomandation?
