Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Came across this last night too.  http://searchengineland.com/from-microdata-schema-to-rich-snippets-markup-for-the-advanced-seo-162902 It talks about microdata schema and rich snippets.

I use the DYNO Mapper sitemap generator for large sites, but it is probably not best for millions of pages. watch?v=kjFBnQCoxjI

THIS. IS. FRIGHTENING.

In addition to what EGOL suggested, which is right on - you could also check to see which pages are indexed but not receiving traffic (for say the last 3 months). I would do this by crawling the site and comparing an export of your product pages to an export of your organic landing pages from analytics. Any products that Google has indexed, but not ranking or returning in search are good ones to noindex until you make them better. -Dan

as i say only the two options / well three including robots.txt to not index the page

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I mean't that this proposition is for 1 release for 12 months. The plan I purchased was 2 releases per month. Sent you a private message.

Hi William PM me also as I may be interested in this.

You could use a rel="canonical" pointing to the preferred version of each page. This isn't as optimal as using a 301 because I believe Bing still only considers the rel="canonical" a hint, but it sounds like your best bet at this point. Worth a shot.

Ha. I will take a look at it. Thanks a lot. Sorry for late response.

Pretty sure all directories look like they were created in 1973.

I sent a request on Oct 14th and got a response on Oct 18th. I've been removing links around Aug. Responses whether denial or success seemed to range 1-2 weeks.

Can you look at your analytics and see if there's one particular browser that is or is not converting? Maybe IE is throwing some type of security error, and the devs only tested in Firefox and Chrome and don't see that error?

Check out Joomla.org. It’s a great CMS and they have tons of extensions. Look under their multimedia category in the extensions and I am sure you can find what you’re looking for. Lots of them are free and the paid ones don’t cost much at all.

William- No guarantees in life.  I have helped a bunch of companies with reconsideration. I would recommend the following service to help you identify the most likely unnatural links:  www.linkdelete.com.  Once they generate a report for you, it will rank each link as most likely to be creating problems.  You will then work through the list and figure out which links are more likely to be creating problems. Once you identify the links, they will submit the requests for you and will follow up to notify you which links have been removed and which haven't. One helpful hint as you go through the process is identifying which keywords have been affected the most in SERP's. Then cross referencing them with the links that have been built and then cross referencing those results with the ranking from linkdelete. One last hint....when you file for reconsideration after you have removed the links make sure you understand that Google will be manually reviewing the request. So make sure you do a couple of things before the reconsideration request and in the reconsideration request: Make sure your site is on and offpage optimized to the best of its ability. No keyword stuffing. Dont be doing alot of SEO right before the reconsideration request. In the request, make sure you are as transaprent as possible. if you hired someone to do linkbuilding...tell them. Provide them with the data of the links you identified as bad and that they have been removed. Make sure you arent writing a novel. be clear and concise and make it easy to read. Good luck. Hope this helps.. If you need more help let me know. Mark
