Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Restart your browser, maybe that will work. It could be viewing links from previous site you were viewing.

Also it could be possible that OSE hasn't crawled your page yet. It is updated monthly.

Wish I could try it right now but won't be able to yet. Screaming Frog I believe does sitemaps and my site crashes it.

Thanks, I will try this out when I get to my Windows PC.

If anyone else has a good external crawler please do post.

I actually came across that everywhere else but wasn't sure. Site was a bit outdated and last time software was updated in 2007.

How long does it take to crawl pages for you?

I may have been exaggerating about millions but more like 2 million pages.

What sitemap generators are you guys using right now? I'm in need of a generator that is not allowed to be installed onto the server. So perhaps an external crawl and generator.

The site has A LOT of pages in the millions.

Typically they will be removed in a few updates on their crawls. The timing may vary with each different crawler.

This is a good read on which crawler could be more reliable. Again there is no perfect tool that can crawl all the web...except maybe Google.

You will have to refer to the 'multi week' update which was implemented on about June 24th. These changes affected PMD a lot and then recovered a bit on/after July 4th.

You will have to figure out what is going on with your on page optimization, links and so forth.

Again, it takes time if your site is not crawled often. On my SERP it shows it was last crawled on Jul 11, 2013.

That tool is just another way to crawl your page to see what they see. You should wait a few more days to see if it will update.

It is working.

Please see screenshot below.

Give Google some time to crawl and update.

When did you change it? This can take some time depending on how often Google crawls your site.

You could try using the rich snippet tool in Webmaster Tools to perhaps see what Google sees. Or you can also fetch as Google. These can be done via Webmaster Tools.

Over-optimizing can be a variety of things. Majority of the time if you are doing something for SEO more than for the reader you might be borderline over-optimizing.

Some things Google will easily notice is your domain anchor text link profile, exact match anchor text is no longer as ideal as it would've been a few years back. Now it is more important to make sure your anchor text profile is wide spread and using more generic terms like "click here" or domain match anchor text.

Other similar things could be using too many h1,h2, etc tags and using those tags as exact match rather than something more descriptive of what is being offered in the body of the content. Also using bold and italics when it is not necessary could be easily noticed.

SEO has started to be more about quality and usability and with more updates, they will start weeding out those that are not as user friendly. So just think user friendly optimizing. I work a internet company and we get mentions on Yahoo, CNBC and other highly authoritative sites and we NEVER have our PR guy ask for anchor text links. Everything is done fluidly and at the end that is where SEO is headed towards.

Title tags may vary. And could be anywhere from ~50 through ~70. It is measured by pixels.

What Tuzzell quoted is true. Subdomains is not for languages. It is mainly for SEO value and structuring of your site.

Both. Sites generally do have errors, and you don't have to fix everything down to a 0.

If I were you I'd use a crawler to find out where it is linking to that page and remove it. If its not being linked, look into your sitemap and see if it has to do with that. If none of the above are resolving the issues for you I'd suggest ignoring it unless it is a huge usability issue.

Subfolder is the way to go.

The rationale is that subfolders will have links from all parts of the site including from the different language section. For subdomains your ranking might fluctuate between different languages.

Subdomains are not used very often except to differentiate a primary domains core business and purpose. If it is usually just language, a subfolder is what everyone normally uses.

Haha. Yes. We pay a premium for some SEO swag.

I WANT SOMETHING NOW! MOOOOOAARRRR.

Would be good to get a Roger bobble head.

...I've never received anything.

I had to do quadtriple takes on if I had the video tab selected. This is probably just an isolated problem that would be fixed soon.

Looks like Google might be messing with their video search criteria/algorithm. Funny that they are all YouTube links.
