Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Again, I know this.

Have you launched a mobile site?

Hey Andy,

Thanks for your reply.

I know what your saying and I understand the mechanics of specific user-agents being redirected - However they are stating here that it should be a 301 redirect.

I have since seen on the developer forum that it doesn't matter what you use (301 or 302). What I am after is is there any benefit of doing a 301 over a 302?

As above, you would think a 301 would pass over any build up link equity to help it rank, is this the case?

Hey,

In the following article, Google recommended using a 301 redirect but doesn't specify why.

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-friendly.html

I assume this is to pass over link equity to the relevant mobile/desktop variation. Can anyone confirm this? Also is there any other reason? Again assuming this would keep the correct URLs in the correct index?

Anything else anyone can chip in would be great.

Thanks

True but that shouldn't be the concern

Here's my advice

Who cares?

You should be bothered about increasing traffic not your DA

Thanks to you both but I am after something I can set running and it records automatically so I don't have to manually check using the 'cache:' command.

I haven't heard of such a tool but I would have thought it would be pretty useful for measuring changes etc

Does anyone know of such a tool?

Hey folks, In the in-page analytics section of GA I am wanting to get the % of clicks on a particular link over a large selection of dates. Does anyone know how to pull the data without having to do it day by day? Ideally I want to pull it all at once. There might of course be other ways to do this, if so please let me know. Thanks for your help. Cheers,

OSE only about 25% of the size Googles index is

As SWM says, have location pages and make sure you have full addresses and phone numbers on them and also think about getting some google places pages set up.

Hey

Quite easy really just add the following snippet

rel="canonical" href="Your URL Here" />

This should be placed between the tags of the page.

BUT.......

Make sure you are using this correctly, if you have duplicate page titles due to canonicalisation (http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/basics-of-search-engine-friendly-design-and-development) then that's fine but if its just because you have duplicate page titles across your pages then they need to be rewritten.

Hope that helps

It will indeed but its not the whole picture but a good starting point read this twice then backwards!

SEOmoz turn hours into minutes with their truly irreplaceable research tools; a must for any search & social professional.

Hey I recommend you read this http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo there is not much point in explaining these as you won't know what to do with them if you don't already know what they are.

Read this guide it's not that long and you will have a better understanding of what's what.

I'm not 100% on what your asking here but if its what I think then It doesn't matter either way as I believe content from embeded facebook apps as well as comments from a facebook login system arn't picked up by google and therefore don't count as "content"

Sorry If I missed what you ment, hope this helps

I see

I don't really think it's a massive problem but to improve it why dont you take out the drop downs so rather then everything being one click away its 2 clicks

For example turn the parent pages into hubs of that category and this will cut down total number of links on pages across the site.

I hope that made sense 

Also I noticed your using tags,  I advise against these but if your going to use them you should noindex, follow these pages I checked a few and they were indexed.

This of course can cause duplicate content issues.

Hey

Why not just set the main domain so its tracked by the US, UK and FR search engines and then enter your keywords for each language these will then be easily picked out in an excel sheet.

The only ones you might have problems with are the UK and US with it being the same language but that is just a little bit more excel filtering.

Hope this helps

Good luck

Does anyone know if the 'average time on site' in Google analytics is calculated with bounce rate included?

For example if you have a 50% bounce rate and your average time on site is 2 minutes the actual time would be 4 minutes as the 50% bounce rate time is classed as 0.

I hope that is clear!

Cheers

It's not very clear what your saying but if you mean to submit it to completely different sites then I don't see there being a problem however you might want to consider doing a little refresh of the content as the more relevant and up to date it is the more chance it has of going viral etc Best of luck

Having a quick look, I'd say keep the domain you have now as business is one of your keywords "helping small businesses do business"?

Your URL isn't overly large so looks good to me and it's within the 3 word rule/ memorable etc.

If you do decide to 301 redirect to the shorter URL and transfer your content you stand to lose up to 10% of your hard earned "link love"

If it was me I wouldn't bother.
