Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is no longer allowed.  Notice when you do this from interests, it says "People who have expressed an interest in or like pages related to SEOmoz.org".  This isn't necessarily mean you'll reach people who like the SEOmoz page, but people Facebook thinks are similar to people who like their page.  To reach fans of a specific page, you have to be an admin of that page. Twitter does the same thing for their targeting, you can't target people who follow a specific account, but you can target people like those that follow an account.

Hi Tyler, This should do it. If you don't do this facebook will scan all the pics and give a user an option to choose out of the scanned images. If the above is used once it will give one default image to be selected. You can use multiple og:image tags to allow the user to chose multiple default images that you have selected. Hope this helps!

I also have the Same Problem as My client is Using Volusion So I am also Going for blog.website.com. Thanks

Tyler, just so we're clear: it's the first TIME the link is mentioned on a page that counts, not just the first link on the page. So, if you have several links on the same page to page1.html then only the first time counts--the other mentions (if they have different anchor text) don't count. If you have a link that's useful (like a link to site's home page) then having the logo on your page link to your home page at the top is useful. Then, having a link on the sidebar to the home page might be useful for users, as well. Then there is the link to the home page in the footer. Those are all useful.

Hi Tyler, Based on your description above, to Google or the bots, it only seem like it is 1 page with the URL and it is definitely bad for SEO.  I am assuming the developers have some sort of script in your website to create this effect.  I would suggest removing the script and making it not so fancy and have different URL for each page. Furthermore, the URL itself is bad since it doesn't tell bots and users what the page is about.  You should look into how to optimize URLs or best practices for optimized URLs.

There are actually very few Ecommerce companies doing video right in terms of SEO - including My Binding, who get outranked by YouTube for most of their videos. It's worth noting that putting product videos on a YouTube channel is invariably a bad strategy, so I'd look outside of channels and search for some good sites with securely hosted videos on them, rather than YouTube embed. However, in terms of content, i'd recommend looking at www.appliancesonline.co.uk who I think do superb product videos and have superb product pages all-round actually.

#1 A domain has many links to it, but has been 404ed for 4 months. Should I redirect to a page I own and is almost exactly the same content. Will the fact that it was once 404ed be an issue? This sounds like a good idea to me. Make sure the page you are redirecting to is relevant to the original page. There shouldn't be an issue here as fas as I can tell. #2 I have an old domain that has many links but has been stagnant for a long time. Are these links still valuable and I should I redirect them to an important page on a different site? Whether the links are valuable depends on their quality. You should get an indication of their quality from how the site performs in the serps. If it is performing well then it probably does have valuable links. In this case I would be tempted to keep the domain running and add fresh content to the site. You could then link to another relevant site that you own and benefit from the value this provides. Either way, if you have a site that has value and performs well for certain keywords, it would be a shame to just redirect it to another site when you could gain commercial value from it. Adam.

This is also the way I would do it as well. Were you able to remove your site? Do you still need any advice for this question?

Hi Tyler, Did these answers solve your question, or are you still looking for some more help? Thanks! Keri

Tyler, I was curious so I started searching.  I could not find anything new.  Pages are associated with organizations, businesses, celebrities, brands.. as opposed to personal profiles.  The personal profiles do have something relatively new called "Timelines".  A few of my kids have changed their profiles to timelines, but I like the old way with a wall...  Here is what I see available: Personal Profiles Timelines (New) Page Local Business or Place Company, Organization or Institution Brand or Product Artist, Band or Public Figure Entertainment Cause or Community Group The only thing I really see as new are the timelines and they have been around for awhile.  Hopefully someone else has a better answer.

Hi Tyler, did Alan's response answer your question, or are you still looking for some more help?

I implemented this and it did not work. I did it exactly as you said and made sure rewrite engine is on. Tyler

Oh - the IP is the old server, not the IP of the current one?  All of the above still applies, except it just got a lot easier! Redirect all traffic on the old server to the new one (301 redirect). Failing that just turn off the old one.

Think of Googlebot like a web user (who happens to be somewhat aimless and browses without JavaScript support). Googlebot requests a page that it finds by A) following a link on another page, B) following a reference in a sitemap.xml file or C) some other usage data we don't know about (i.e. it scraped the link from a source it doesn't "officially" have access to or users have hit that page frequently with Google toolbar installed, etc). This is a basic server request for the page. The server gets the message "load this URL" - if there's an .htaccess 301 redirect in place, it does not matter whether the page would ordinarily display content, because the server never gets to that point. It handles the redirect first. I'm hung up on the second part of your question. "If the page doesn't need to exist...you want this website to redirect to another website." I'm not sure under what circumstances you'd need to do this. If the page doesn't exist, it shouldn't be referenced anywhere on the web, and if it's not referenced anywhere on the web, there's no need for the redirect. Perhaps you're planning to set up the page as a vanity URL - such as a short URL, for easy reading/remembrance. In short, for whatever reason you want to achieve this, .htaccess bypasses the need for the first URL to exist - it works on the request for that page, whether the page is there or not, the redirect will bypass it and work properly.

Yup totally agree. The only thing I would add is that if your page is deleted you do have 14 days to reclaim it before its actually gone for good.
