Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Does anyone have more suggestion/alternative strategies? Many thanks in advance.

Thank you Tom and Richard555.

Hello there, we have a problem.

Let's say we have a website www.mainwebsite.com

Then you have 40 websites like this:

www.retailer1.mainwebsite.com

www.retailer2.mainwebsite.com

www.retailer3.mainwebsite.com

www.retailer4.mainwebsite.com

www.retailer5.mainwebsite.com

www.retailer6.mainwebsite.com … an so on

In order to avoid the duplicate content penalty from Google we've added a rel="canonical" in each 40 sub-websites mapping each page of them to www.mainwebsite.com

Our issue is that now, all our retailers (each owner of www.retailer-X.mainwebsite.com) are complaining about the fact that they are disappeared from Google.

How can we avoid to use rel="canonical" in the sub-website and not being penalised by Google for duplicate content in www.mainwebsite.com?

Many thanks, all your advices are much appreciated.

Very interesting the idea to use AIDA model in the "Meta Description Tag"!

We'll try it and we let you know if it works for our customers!

Hi there!

In the "Meta Description Tag" we use some relevant-descriptive-useful-for-the-users keywords and we keep the length about 155 characters.

In your opinion guys, is a good idea to add at the end of the "Meta Description Tag" a strong "call to action"? Maybe with some capital letter?

Does it sound strange to Google? Even if this improve the Click Through on the SERPs?

What are the best SEO practice to deal with "Meta Description Tag"?

Thank you for your advice!

Thank you goodlegaladvice! We already tried with "Click Tale" but unfortunately it had some problem with an extension that is installed in Magento... The traffic is coming from relevant and specific keywords from Google AdWords Campaigns. Which is in your opinion goodlegaladvice the biggest and more common problem in a cart?

Which are in your opinion the "Top 5 things to do" to increase the conversion rate in a beds e-commerce site? The conversion is "to sell a bed" The website is http://www.idealetti.com Thank you in advance to everyone that share his experience or give some advice!

Which is in your opinion the best "301 practice" to notify Google that a web page does not exists anymore?

For example:

...
---CATEGORY PAGE
-------SUBCATEGORY PAGE
------------ PRODUCT PAGE 1
------------ PRODUCT PAGE 2
------------ PRODUCT PAGE 3
...

If you delete “PRODUCT PAGE 2” does it make sense to create in the .htaccess a 301 redirect towards the “SUBCATEGORY”?

Do you have others tested methods to deal with this issue?

Thank you in advance for sharing your opinions and ideas.
