Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I wont worry about them, its totally fine to have 404 errors ... make sure you dont have any quality links pointing to these pages ( i dnt think there will be ) . but other than that dont worry about it

On another note, please check this G+ Post from John Mueller (Googler)

hope it helps

I am assuming that you have installed mod rewrite on the IIS box.

you need to add this to the web.config located in the root

<match url="(.*)"></match>

<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignorecase="true"></add>

<action type="Redirect" redirecttype="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}"></action>

and make sure in the iis manager for the "SSL required box" is unchecked

Google Does crawl Iframe but it attributed the content inside of it to the source.

So if you placing on page A content from page B. Google will Crawl and Attribute the content to Page B. (so no duplication)

it works for TLDs and different country tlds

so in you company.com your header will be :

and you can self reference 

you think its a penguin related slap?

if you can provide us more data about the date that this drop happened. and let us know if these are the only 4 pages that went down or if you saw the whole site getting "downgraded" in a way

I have many clients in Dubai that they are either in UAE or From other countries targeting the UAE market. Google Prompts the user to change from .com to .ae. ( so they have the option to use either .ae or .com or .co.uk)

on the other hand, Google will provide results that most relevant to that region ( based on ip of the user)

You should track how did they convert from which keywords, social channel or any other marketing channel that led them to convert.

and see how you are performing in that region ranking wise and traffic wise in GA.

No Need to do it at all,

utilizing the 301 is the best option. having mix signals will take more time for google to adjust to the new destination and might have mix signals in the future.

my apologies i forgot to mention the link that i recommend the text in it

i meant this one http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/weddings-in-bath.htm

Having 4 or 200 /300 both are fine

Google can handle that and definitely after the structural update "caffeine".

coming back to our issue one question i have how many clicks will it take you to go from the homepage to the page we are talking about  ?  (hope you understanding from where i m coming from)

can this page include more informationational text about the weddings in Bath (500 to 700 words) ? which you will link to all the "subpages" under Bath (like venues, all venues, marquee hire and many others? )

/magazine have a decent internal structure and links .

why doesn't the homepage have a comprehensive links, menu, maybe more content or even the same structure that you have on the magazine page?

My point i m trying to relay, that the most linked page on any website is always the homepage ( 99%) so leverage the authority that is coming through your homepage to your subpages

If you wanna send signals to google  that this page is one of the most important pages on your website then you have to show it in the structure. you homepage is poor. leverage the authority of the homepage to pass to that page and similar pages you have that are important for you.

leverage internal linking from other pages to that page or by launching a blog.

cheers

there is no documented number that is considered as a flag. but i keep my htaccess less than 200 lines

Or

5. Shorten the keywords in the url post ie

title: Some Post titles are quite long as they are long tail terms

url: /parent-category/child-category/post-titles-long/

.htaccess file is evaluated on EVERY server request. So you are talking when it pulls images, CSS, JSS and all elements, the htaccess gets evaluated. ie when you have more than 400 lines in a htaccess file. the server will go through all of them to reply to the request. hence make your site load speed slow.

So you have two options when your htaccess file goes big:

• Make it Smart: you can use rewrite rules and wildcards to minimize 300 lines in a htaccess file to just couple of lines
• move the redirects to be controlled by http.conf on the server level with rewrite map. (reference: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/rewritemap.html)

hope this helps

The problem with that is maintaining and scaling this structure, now and in the future.

From Google Side, its ok to use any of the versions, as if you do a search "Voitures à vendre a paris" you see sometimes that the word "cars" and even "autos" is highlighted in the url. So Google is doing a pretty good job detecting translated versions or even transliterated version.

Lol let me flag your answer as the best answer then

To tell you the truth, i m guessing like you are .

but the most important thing is driven by the audience/user. if they have a huge audience in Dubai for example then having a Google Plus page in arabic is definitely the way to go. but you will go ahead and face another problem is the adoption rate of google + in that region or language.

business wise, is each site (country tld) controlled by a different business entity in that region or country ?

What is the site Petsitters Plus? coz if it is i dnt see the website on the G+ page

I understand from where you are coming from,

did you try to run the website on screaming frog or Moz Crawler? did u see certain anomalies ?
