Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Tom, thank you very much for your answer and time! I explained to Patrick above which are the reasons for doing in this way.

I will have to find another way because this will obviously not work.

Patrick thank you very much for your answer and time!

You are right that this can create bad user experience. The reason we want to do this is: we have strong www.website.com site that are ranking good in Canada (this is our main target).

Since we'll splitting our website into .com and .ca domain I was thinking that redirecting www.website.com to website.ca would be the best option (since the Canada is our primary target).

My only concern is what to do with .com domain. I know that subfolders with hreflang will be the best solution but we would like to have .com.and .ca as separate  (we will use hreflang)

Hello,

Can someone give me advice on this specific situation:

For now we have a website www.website.com/

Because of some specific business situation we want to move to .ca version but also we want to keep website.com - for U.S customers.

Here's how I imagined to do this:

301 Redirect from www.website.com to website.ca.

Because at this time website.com redirects to www.website.com I would remove the redirect and just keep it like website.com (so this will be new domain).

Is this is the right solution?

Hi Joseph,

If you just C/P comedians bios, I think it will be very difficult to have good rankings in the SEPRs since you are not giving any new value to users so your website will be like hundreds of other sites who just C/P their bios.

Maybe is better idea to write about this comedians in your own way in order to provide unique content and valuable, new informations to users.  I know it's a difficult and time consuming job, but in the long run it can be valuable.

Hi Dev,

If you have same content on several pages  - yes it's duplicate.

For example: abcd.com/htcmobile.aspx and below of all products are other sub categories (samsuing, nokia etc) with all products, description etc.   - it's duplicate because on the other pages you will have same content but in different order.

If you are are talking about links to other categories below all products  on abcd.com/htcmobile.aspx for example, it's just links (like navigation to other subcategories) so this is not duplicate.

OK, we'll try with this. Thank you very much!

EDIT: The correct solution is to contact Google directly and remove page from Google Places/Maps.

Hello Mozzers,

We have specific situation with google places. We are e-commerce store but google display us as local business where people can come in. (with directions button). This creates problems for us, since we do not want and we are not setup to receive customers.

On our website there is address in the footer and also we have About Us page with the address (this is the address of facility from where online orders are shipped.) - is this a problem and is google concluded that we are physical store because of this?

Is there any way to change this or we should contact google directly and explain the situation? And if we should contact google, is there any risk involved? (like: why you have the address on site when you are not physical store? )

Thank you,

Nenad

Great! Thank you for your answer.

Thank you very much for the answer

There are mostly brute force attacks on known root port. Any ideas how to stop this in better way?

Thanks,

Hi folks,

We have a webiste and we see that large majority of attacks are from China, so we want to block China IP addresses (we have no customers from China).

My question is: will we get penalized by Google or other search engines?
