Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Ryan!

You are correct in assuming that our domain name has not changed.

We did 301 redirect as many URLs aas we possibly could (lots and lots) although we had some minor issued with getting some of them to work properly at the beginning.

When I search our search terms Google is showing the new URLs. I can't search them all but I have searched enough to feel pretty confident that the switch has gone mostly according to plan.

Webmaster tools however, is clinging to the old data like old bubble gum to the bottom of my shoe. The change occured on 3/12 and Webmaster Tools shows nary a sign of figuring that out.

It's a bit odd...

Since relaunching our site (with a new url structure), webmaster tools impressions have dropped dramatically.

At the same time, actual rankings seem to be rising and Analytics is showing little to no loss of organic traffic.

Does webmaster tools take a while to figure out the new URLs (I did resubmit the sitemap however it still seems to be tracking the old ones) and if yes how long?

Hi Ray,

Thanks for responding, I don't know my programming too well, but from the way you are saying it, it seems like this is a standard process.

I will send this to my developers, thanks for your help!

Does any one know of any script that can be written to generate schema on my product pages. I need something that would be compatible with a custom php website.

Here is an example of what I am looking for, it's for Magento so I can't use it: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/schema-org.html.

Or, if you have any idea on how to do implement schema without doing it manually please let me know here!

Thanks!

Hi,

We are redoing our site structure and I was wondering what are the benefits of having a flat url structure. For example store.com/product instead of doing store.com/category/product.

I noticed sites doing it both ways, even moz.com has both structures ex: moz.com/learn/seo and when you clck on something it brings you to moz.com/seo-expert-quiz (even though following the previous logic it should be moz.com/learn/seo/seo-expert-quiz)

Please advise, Thanks!
