Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Alexa rankings are not used in the Google algorithm, and should have no impact on your search rankings. I wouldn't worry about it.

There is a possibility that Google will crawl a link in comments, it's happened before with comments in Javascript. However, it will not have any impact at all from an SEO perspective.

It's not a huge deal, but generally you want to keep the number of links per page to around 100. Even though you have those pages noindexed, Google is still going to crawl them, which wastes your crawl budget. The only way to fix the issue is to have fewer links on the page. It doesn't look like you have that many links on the page, so it's probably not a big deal.

Your sitemap should be updated whenever you create new pages. That's the point of having a sitemap.

If you're feeling impatient, you can try submitting your new/edited pages via Google Webmaster Tools, but I haven't noticed that having much of an impact. The best way to get new content indexed is to point internal & external links to it.

The breadcrumbs should reflect the structure of your site. It sounds like from your examples, Home - Metal gates - Driveway gates - individual driveway gate would be the way to go.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean either, but how you link within your own site is your own business, and you won't get penalized for it. Unless the internal link is 301 redirecting to an external site, you can link however you want.

UGC is probably the best way to go, by allowing users to rate images and leave comments. Also, spending some time to add descriptions to images as well as relevant tags can provide more text content that Google will appreciate.

There seems to be some confusion here.

First of all, rel="publisher" is a way to connect your site to your page on Google+. This can help your page be recognized as the "official" page for your brand and make it eligible for Google Direct Connect. The rel="publisher" tag goes ONLY on your homepage.  rel="publisher" will NOT get your company logo shown in the search results (at least not yet).

rel="author" is a way to link the content on your site to specific authors on Google+. This has the benefit of building up the author rank for those authors, as well as displaying author snippets in the search results. This only works with photos of people, not cartoons or logos. The author tag should go on every page where you have unique content.

Hope that helps!

Having worked on a number of ecommerce sites myself, I would say that if you want to do content marketing for an eccomerce site, you're going to want to build a Blog or Resource Center or some other hub for your content to live.

Sure, creating unique and informative product descriptions and category pages is important, but truly compelling content that you can actually promote to get links and social shares is probably not going to live on your product page, but on a separate section of your site.

This a pretty confusing question, and the terminology you use is different from industry standard. Check out these links for a quick overview of how Google works:

If you are just worried about changing a page's url, just be sure to put in a 301 redirect from the old page to the new page. That way, even if Google has an older version of the page indexed, it will automatically redirect the user to the new page as well as help Google discover the new location of the page.

Try this:

<code># BEGIN WordPress  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  RewriteEngine  On  RewriteBase  /  RewriteRule  ^index\.php$ -  [L]  RewriteRule  (.+)/$ $1 [R=301,L]  RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-f RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-d RewriteRule  .  /index.php [L]  IfModule></code>

It's best practice to put canonicals on every page of your site, so that Google never gets confused by things like URL parameters. This can usually be automated by most modern CMSs.

If you are appending the city name to the keyword, then it's not a duplicate title. There must be other pages somewhere on your site that are generating the duplicate titles. If you are using Google Webmaster Tools, it will show you all the duplicate titles on your site as well as which pages are using the same title.

This is a great site I use for domain name generation:

Another great site is JustDropped, which shows domain names which have recently expired:

Penguin penalizes sites that have a large amount of over-optimized anchor text, so my advice would be to mix it up. Have some links lead to inner pages using keyword anchor text, and have other links lead to your homepage with your brand name. Include suboptimal anchor text like "click here" or the URL.

Just mix it up and don't overdo it. Make sure the blogs you are guest posting on are high quality, and make sure you're getting backlinks from sources other than guest posts. Don't be spammy.

Just because you create a new page and delete the old one, Google won't know immediately about it. So if Google crawls the new page before it's had a chance to crawl the old one, then it will indeed consider the new page to be duplicate content. Then when it tries to crawl the old page, it will discover that it no longer exists. However, as long as links to the old page exist, it will continue to try to crawl that page. Eventually it may de-index the old page if it keeps returning an error.

Bottom line, if you are moving content to a new URL, be sure to include a 301 redirect on the old page so that Google (and other search engines) know that the piece of content has moved. You can also do this with canonical tags, but 301s are more effective.

The title tag is one of the most important on-page factors that Google looks at. Every keyword you have in your title dilutes the value of all the other keywords, so you should stick to as few words as possible, plus maybe your brand name. This is also a good practice from a user experience perspective.

MozRank is a link popularity score, similar to PageRank but calculated using Moz's internal algorithms. You can improve it by getting links from sites that have a high MozRank, which should also help improve your rankings, which should be your ultimate goal.

If you already fixed the error, then just wait for Google to figure things out on their end. Having those errors in GWT isn't going to hurt you.

It looks like you are using Wordpress. When you upload an image to a post, there should be a box that says "Link To". By default, this will contain the URL to the image so that when you click on the image it will open a new page. If you don't want the image to link anywhere, simply leave the field blank.
