Hi Paul,

The difference would be made how you plan to use these domains, if they are going to inter-link to each other, they may be seen as Link-wheel  strategy (black hat strategy). If they are competing for same industry space (as in keywords) or working to benefit the same company together, then again that may be a problem.

As for the same IP, there are several websites hosted on same server IP at a time.

I hope this helps, please respond if you have further questions.

Vijay

Hi There,

Additional to David's answer, you should have a look at this Q&A for generating PDF reports for dashboard https://moz.com/community/q/how-can-i-print-a-report-that-shows-the-general-results-in-the-dashboard-view

As for taking PDF printouts for any screen, you can use http://www.dopdf.com/

I hope this helps, please respond if you have additional questions.

Hi Bob,

Although people are blaming it some Algo update for the drop, yet I would like to keep my focus on conversion rate drop ( if you framed you question correctly, that there is not much drop in visitors compared to sales).

I tried using your website to find anything that was amiss and the only fault I could find which can directly correlate to sales is that Javascript alerts for order validation,  If this dialogue is suppressed, validation fails and order can't be processed.

Please look into it.

hi Bob,

You have not provided enough information or website URL for anyone to answer accurately, anything we reply here would be mere speculation.

Please provide more details about the website and when exactly was done prior to sales drop.

That's the reason, we have culturally created an environment within our organization to LOG everything we do on our client sites.

Vijay

Google officially announced in 2009 that meta keywords were not a factor. Including Meta keywords can be a negative instead of being a positive factor, as they are generally words which are inconsistent without meaning anything to a user or a search engine.

Hi Adriana,

The whole point of an SSL certificate is so that the browser has a reasonable degree of trust in the server's public key for HTTPS transactions. As per my opinion SSL has advantages for SEO and also for creating trust with the website visitors.

Do the SSL certificate actually matter, you should read this study / research http://blog.searchmetrics.com/us/2015/03/03/https-vs-http-website-ssl-tls-encryption-ranking-seo-secure-connection/

Generally, browsers come pre-loaded with lists of people/organizations that the browser should trust.  When your website presents this certificate to a browser and the browser would unquestioningly accept it (assuming that you've paid a sufficiently well-known CA (certifying authority ) that is likely to be in the trusted lists of all browsers).

Now, it's the trust level of these CA which matters to the browsers and search engines, then there are risks / disadvantages of using free certificates. Check following links

https://www.cybersecureasia.com/blog/the-risk-in-free-ssl-certificate
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-pros-and-cons-using-a-free-SSL-Certificate-for-signing-and-encrypting-email
https://www.volusion.com/ecommerce-blog/articles/5-reasons-you-should-beware-of-free-ssl-certificates/

Coming back to original question, whether free vs paid SSL would matter for SEO, on the surface, it looks it won't matter if your CA has enough trust with browsers, however, if you scratch the surface there are some hidden facts which are highlighted in the disadvantages of a Free SSL mentioned on above links.

It would be better to get a paid certificate, be safe and secure without being worried about if it would hurt your SEO.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions via your response.

Hi Lance,

If you do end up finding Flash on your site  using http://seositecheckup.com/tools/flash-test

These links might also be helpful

https://moz.com/blog/flash-and-seo-compelling-reasons-why-search-engines-flash-still-dont-mix ( Rand's opinion about Flash and SEO )

http://www.toprankblog.com/2009/11/seo-for-flash-tips/  ( Existing Flash SEO)

SE-Flash.com
This tool that visually shows what from your Flash files is visible to search engines and what is not. This tool is very useful, even if you already have the Flash Search Engine SDK installed because it provides one more check of the accuracy of the extracted text. Besides, it is not certain that Google and the other search engines use Flash Search Engine SDK to get contents from a Flash file, so this tool might give completely different results from those that the SDK will produce.

I hope this helps, please feel free to respond if you have additional questions.

Hi Michael,

Just to add, even if Yandex is important for targeting Russian region audience, we have observed that some of the recently migrated / expats in USA  still use Yandex.

I hope this helps your cause in targeting the right audience.

Hi Ali,

Please check the title of your pages, if they are same then those links would be counted as duplicates. Also, check how many duplicates are being reported in google webmaster, these are also good indicators for duplicate pages.

This link  should help as well

http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content

& this is a link to a 301 redirect generator

http://www.htaccessredirect.com

Remember to also use a
Rel=Canonical put this tag in the correct page you want to show people.

Then do a 301 redirect on the pages that are duplicates and point them on ONLY right one

As for 404, they will need to be reviewed and handled with 301 to map them to actual URL.

I hope this helps, please feel free to respond if you have further questions.

Vijay

Hi Fabrizo,

As answered by Joshua Belland in above answer, you will need to be careful with how you plan it out.

The IP and DNS need to be on a different server.

Be careful about how prtovide link for these with each other.

Hi Kristen,

If you're "just" a user who doesn't want to play around with plugins and tuning things up yourself, Squarespace is the solution for you (SEO-wise).

There are other options like Drupal , you can get a complete list here http://www.toptenreviews.com/business/internet/best-content-management-system-software/

However even Matt Cutts uses WordPress for his blogging

Hi Becky,

This can be a major issue, as fetch as google feature was introduced to show what Google crawler would see on your page.

Many times, websites use complex javascript, JSON, jquery, angular Js etc , these scripts render the content of the page either late or in a different way than what crawler expects.

Work with your developer and get it fixed, I have seen many beautiful websites not rankings due to this error.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask further questions.
