Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you very much Paul! His site http://dianibeach.com and our poor is http://villasdiani.com

Thank you so much for all this!

Thank you so much Paul for the explanation! Unfortunately for me, the link is one every of his pages in the footer:-( so I guess it is pretty useless for our site ranking.

If I may ask one more question,  What would be the best way to give us good link from his site so as he he would not loose traffic  on us and we still get some value?

Thank you very much Paul!

We have recently receive linek from one website. The site is quite very powerful for the word we try to rank, however the link is kind of wired. This is how it looks like: http://villasdiani.com/?db

The webmaster of the site said that he ads (?db) on the end so as we would see on our analytics the traffic from his site..

Also the link is from footer...is this good or it does not have value

Sunny greetings from Diani beach Dan! Thank you very much! I wish you very nice day

now it just worked...I am cursed:-(

Thank you so much Dan for all the explanation! All clear now! I have now manged to do redirect in .htaccesses file. All links are running well now. Thank you so much!

Iam trying to give you the good answer and it is bringing me to Not Found page:-(

I believe I might be cursed by computers and our site will never rank:-(

Thank you very much for this Phil! I will disable it. Thank you!

Thank you very much Phil,

So now I am confused:-(  We are using vimeo paid account where we can control who will embed our video. For now we let the videos to be shared as we want to get views, however we plan to disable it in the future.

I thought that the more people will embed and share the video from our site, it is like they would be giving back link to our site and it will be good for our site...is this not true?

I can't say if the traffic from youtube is good or bad(our Channel is new so we have very little traffic from there) but what I am definitely sure is that it really can't be good if I will have the same video on the site like other 500 people...:-(

Our videos are uploaded from vimeo to our site.

Thank you very much Shane! I like very much wistia, thank you for the tip!

Thank you Kade, I actually have the videos on youtube and linking to the site, but on the website they are uploaded from Vimeo.

Thank you Kade. We are using Vimeo paid channel as I googled that Youtbe can degrade your site and plus your content will not be unique anymore. But it might be not true, however.

We featuring properties videos and want people actually watch it and go to listing and book the villa. And there is again the video, I do not know if this is a problem, something as duplicate content.

I would like to ask if somebody know what is the best way to embed video on home page. I read that google does not read i frame.

Also it is a problem if i have featured video on home page with link to post where is again the same video?

Also it is not a problem if I plan to be changing the videos on the home page in period of the time 1-2months?

Also, people can embed video from there, is this not a problem?

Thank you for any advice

So and now i have pasted redirects of some posts and I am going to check and I can't axes the site! It says Internal server error. And now I am dead:-(

Thank you Jeff very much,

But we are not using www, do you thing that I have to include it anyway or is this redirect without www correct? Redirect 301 /geography-kenya-map-kenya/ http://villasdiani.com/where-is-kenya/

Thank you very much Jeff, I thought that the only option will be to do it in .htaccess file, any idea how to do it?

Most of our permalinks are way to long and almost all contain Diani beach, which is a word we wanted rank for and believed we have to write it everywhere....so I need to change them as it is a problem.

Sure I can change the permalink directly for each of the post, but then all the old posts links will be still not found after I change the link...

I thought with yoast plugin it is going to be easy but it does not make sense for me why if I redirect the post it stays in category. What is it for...who wants to redirect a post and then keep it in a category...

I can't find any answer anywhere:-( I am actually getting to the point that I want to just delete them(it is around 30) and wait until google index the new once, but I am afraid of some punishment..

Hi Philip, Thank you very much, yest I would love to, but once I delete them and I go to check the redirects, they do not bring me to the new url but the page is not found:-(

I would like to change some of permalinks on our website. I have created  new posts with new permalinks and the old ones I have redirect by using yoast seo plugin.

Today I have opened a category and I have realized that there are of course the post with new permalinks, but also the old once!

What should I do with the old posts?

Hi Baldea,

Thank you very much for your answer! The categories have the most important value to our visitors. They have villas, hotels and cottages, which we want they will book. I just set them nonindex as they are duplicate of the posts which are set to indexed. We are using wordpress and yoast seo.
