Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, Oleg, for your response, and thanks, Matt, for jumping in.

The response was definitely very informative, but I'm still on the fence about this issue because, while Oleg confirmed what I had thought, that #2 would be the better choice, I now want to ensure that all the products on pages past page 1 will be crawlable by search engines. Any scenarios that you can think of in which search engines would not be able to read subsequent pages? Assuming that this is done using Ajax should we be okay?

(Please bear with me, my specialty is link building and content, not the technical stuff

Thank you! Just to clarify, this is a site that is being built from scratch so my question really is, what would be the best way to go about this?

1. use rel=next/prev and cannonical tags if necessary

2. ensuring that the URL doesn't change between pages 1,2, and 3 within the category

Hello,

I am working on an e-commerce site where there are categories with multiple pages. In order to avoid pagination issues I was thinking of using rel=next and rel=prev and cannonical tags. I noticed a site where the URL doesn't change between pages, so whether you're on page 1,2, or 3 of the same category, the URL doesn't change. Would this be a cleaner way of dealing with pagination?

Hi,

Thank you for this question and the responses because we encountered the same issue; Screaming Frog was only crawling a handful of products out of hundreds, because of JS. We made significant changes to the redirect rules on our dev site, and we want to make sure that the changes will not cause any crawling errors before we deploy to the live site. Is there any way to disable JS just for the purpose of a Screaming Frog crawl?

Our dev site is: https://msc-nop.com

Our regular site is: https://medicalscrubscollection.com

Thanks in advance!

We had the exact same issue! I had the developer fix the 302 redirect that I found, but I am sure there are more errors in the redirects, so we are in the process of getting a full technical audit done so that we can fix any other errors. After you fixed the 302 redirects, how long did it take for the search engines to correctly index your site? Was there anything that you did that helped speed up the process?

We had a drop in Google as well, but the more drastic drop was in Bing and Yahoo. I know that part of the issue is that there are errors with our redirects, and we are working on fixing them, but I am trying to make sure we have all our bases covered and that everything else is done correctly.

Thank you! I wish there was a way to verify them all and do the site move, because the traffic has really declined and I can only think that it's because Bing hasn't recognized the full site move...

Thank you for your response!

All of the redirects are working and I am on top of the backlinks, but when I try to add the other versions of the site (www and http) to Bing nothing happens. It just loads, and takes me back to the version of the site that is already verified. Would you know why it's not allowing me to add more versions of the site?

Hello,

We recently migrated our site to a new shopping cart, https, and from www to non-www, and it's been a rough transition. We've lost a lost of traffic particularly in Bing. All the versions of our site  are verified Google WMT, sitemaps are submitted correctly, etc. Unfortunately, this was not done for Bing. Currently only the new version of our site (https, non-www) is verified in Bing WMT. Do we have to verify all versions of our site in Bing, the way they are in Google WMT? Also, now that it's been a few months since the switch, should we still submit a site move to Bing WMT or is it too late?

Thanks in advance!

As you can see I am a fairly new SEO. (I worked for someone else for a year before starting on my own.) I know that I still have a lot to learn in the technical aspects of the site, but I was always good with link building, and so far I am learning on the job, and it's worked for me.

I have 3 clients. 2 are profitable, this site, so far, is not.

No, I am not able to build a site myself; I do have a trusted developer and I discussed redoing the site with my client way in the beginning, but at the time he didn't want to spend so much, and it's too late now. The site has to be profitable before he'll invest in redoing it.

Thank you for your response!

1. There is an xml sitemap, no html sitemap.

2. Page titles, meta descriptions, and content were all optimized, but yes, there still is some work to be done.

4. Is there any way to optimize flash?

I know about the on site issues, the problem is that there is no backend and the developer is being obnoxious, so every time I want to change something on the site I have to pull teeth.

Any other advice? Thank you so much for your time!

The url is http://www.cellsignalsolutions.com

I know that the site still has some issues; I have to ignore them for now because the developer is making it difficult for me to access the backend.

Some of my main keywords from the original list:

wireless building

inbuilding wireless

wireless DAS

inbuilding wireless solution/s

in building wireless solution/s

building to building wireless solution/s

in-building wireless networks

Some keywords from the new list: (It includes around 65 keywords)

das in building wireless solution/s

in building das New York

in building das solution/s

in-building das solution/s

Thank you in advance!

I have always used strictly white-hat SEO tactics, targeting long-term results, my main focus being on quality guest blogging.

I have been working on a site for around 6 months, and I started out with my keywords ranking very well, but very little traffic was coming to the site. 2 weeks ago I expanded my keyword list considerably in an effort to drive more traffic, but last week my keywords all took a nosedive. My client wants an answer by Thursday.

I know there's no quick fix, but what's the best way to quickly get my rankings back up and serious traffic to the site?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
