301 vs 302 redirect

Hello,

I wanted to know whether I need a 301 or 302 redirect.

I have a site which needs to move to a different address. I want the redirect to be only temporary, but I do need the seo to remain on the long run.

Basically, what I need is a 301 redirect (Which is the only one I tried so far) with a twick - That after some time the original address will again stand on it's own (But without the SEO, which has been transferred to the new address)

Will 302 redirect suffice?

"Googlebot can't access your site" help me anyone

Hello

there , i found a mail from google , So please help me anyone :

------------------------

http://www.govtjobsportal.com/: Googlebot can't access your site

Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1 errors while attempting to retrieve DNS information for your site. The overall error rate for DNS queries for your site is 50.0%.

You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.

Recommended action

If the site error rate is 100%:

Use a WHOIS tool to verify that http://www.govtjobsportal.com/ has a proper whois record and that nameservers are configured for the site. If not, contact your domain registrar to update your whois records.
Using a DNS lookup tool, verify that the nameserver's name can be resolved to an IP address. If not, either update your whois record to contain an IP address for your nameserver, or update the DNS records for nameserver.
Using a DNS lookup tool, verify that http://www.govtjobsportal.com/ can be resolved to an IP address. If it can't, update the DNS record for http://www.govtjobsportal.com/ on your nameserver.

If the site error rate is less than 100%:

The most likely explanation is that your nameserver is overloaded. Contact your hosting provider and discuss the configuration of your DNS server and the possibility of allocating more resources to your DNS service.
If your site redirects to another hostname, another possible explanation is that a URL on your site is redirecting to a hostname that has a DNS problem. Consider checking the links to which your site redirects and make sure that the sites in your redirect links don't have any DNS issues.

After you think you've fixed the problem, use Fetch as Google to verify that Googlebot can properly access your site.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

please give me its answer.

i am waiting your response.

Thankyou

Rich snippets, structured data & Ajax applications

Hello All,

i have the ajax application [1] that was improved to be crawable. I used this guideline [2]

today, my application on request with _escaped_fragment_ replies [3] with stuctured data [4].

i noticed that webmaster tool says me that "We do not detect any structured data on your site.".

also i have made search in goolge on my website by keywords that should show snippets. i have found nothing.

my questions: does rich snippets works with ajax applications? how i could ensure that all work well, are there good practices?

thanks.

Re: Changing domain name and duplicate content

Thanks for your replies, so as you say the best solution is to buy my old domain again for say 6 months and redirect all old pages to the new domain pages... 6 months will be enough for google to change its indexes to my new domain pages right ?

Hi Kareem,

Yes it certainly would be considered duplicate content and you therefore need to be careful.

Almost certainly Google will already have indexed the pages on "justdevelopwebsites" and if they then found other identical pages they would ignore them (i.e. NOT index them) because they don't want the same posts appearing twice under different guises. Ironically then you might find that your "old" pages were in the Google index and your "new" pages are not!

It is likely that the pages on "justdevelopwebsites" will have acquired some PageRank and ideally you need to transfer this to your new site - it would be a pity to just lose it! The way to do this is with 301 permanent redirects. This has the effect of redirecting anyone who types in one of the "old" URLS or who follows an "old" link (say from Google Search) to your "new" page and at the same time transfers any link equity to your new pages.

Hope that helps,

Colin

Re: Changing domain name and duplicate content

Your previous domain is quite important for Google. If someone visits your content via the previous searched results, he may see an error page. It's better to take the domain back and park it on your new website for a while.

the most ridiculous thing is that some time keywords like "gutter guards", "leaf guards" ranking is going up and after few days ranking is gone down.why this up and downs is happening.
can anyone tell me why is this happening?

Hi Luna,
The fact that your site has been up-and-running for 8 years almost certainly means that for one reason or another Google are not valuing your site as highly as they once did. If you have not changed your site substantially then the reason for the devaluation can only be that Google's method of valuing sites (their algorithms) have recently been changed. Nobody outside of Google knows the exact nature of the algorithms but my top 3 suggestions to make Google look more kindly upon you are "Inbound Links", "Freshness" and "Specificity". A few notes about each follow…

INBOUND LINKS
Your site has been going for 8 years and still only has a PageRank of 2 and that suggests that there are only a few "Good" sites linking to you. It could even be that you have recently suffered a penalty because you have "Bad" sites linking to you. If you have not done so already then it's important to setup and keep a watch on Google Webmaster Tools – that's where Google will tell you if they are unhappy about something on your site.

If you can provide really good, useful information on your site about your speciality subject (not overly commercial) then it is much more likely that other "Good" sites will link to you. Google takes this as a clear sign that your site is trustworthy with resultant better rankings. Have you thought about running a blog? A blog that is "promoted" on social media sites is flavour of the month for building inbound links from trusted sources!

FRESHNESS
Google are keen to ensure that "redundant" and little-used sites are purged from their rankings or at least significantly demoted. If no pages have been added to your site recently then you may have fallen foul of the sections of the Google algorithm that deal with "freshness". Here again, a blog on your site (or even just a new page dealing with a specific subject every couple of weeks) might work wonders.

SPECIFICITY
Your site has relatively few pages and because of this each page is relatively non-specific. This means that Google gives you LOW priority in the rankings for MANY different terms and what you want is the opposite! My feeling is that it is preferable to rank in the top 5 positions on page 1 for just a single key term than it is to rank on page 5 for 100 different terms. The hard truth is that people just don't visit page 5 in the SERPS let alone trust those sites!

The solution to specificity is to determine exactly what products and services you can offer and then write a page for each one. On each page you need to convince visitors (and Google) that you are the expert in this field. Using your in-depth knowledge of the subject tell visitors what the problems are and how to overcome them; show them solutions you have and can provide; show them pictures of "Before and After"; explain why your system is better than anyone else's and most importantly of all, demonstrate that you empathise with their situation and you can make their lives better!

FINAL THOUGHT
Google are becoming better and better at determining what makes for a "good user experience". If you focus on providing more and better information to potential customers then Google will increasingly reward you for it.

Hope that helps,

Colin

Hi Inderjeet, Michael and Reg

I have to say that I agree with Michael that loads of PR zero backlinks could do a lot more harm than good but, as Reg says, a lot could depend on relevance. In my world of online education I find that very few (20% or less) of sites that are relevant have PR zero - after all a site owner has to do very little to get to the level of PR1. Reg, it would be fascinating to know how you managed to acquire so many links from PR zero sites and then just one excellent site that is PR5 with virtually nothing between. We also need to consider the fact that Google tell us they expect to see a "natural link profile" and 115 links with 113 having PR zero certainly could not be considered "natural". I would think that site is headed for a Google penalty fairly soon!

Inderjeet, if along with your 100 zero PR links you also have a few hundred PR1's and better then I would not worry. On the other hand, if the majority of your inbound links are PR zero then I would be very worried about incurring the wrath of Google!

Re: My Website Have 100 Xero PR Backlinks

The PR of a webpage is no longer the focus in a link's assigned PR.

Google changed PR to be based on relevance.

If your links on any PR page, even 0, is relevant it will help your PR.

On a brand new site I got a PR4 in just over 4 months.

When I got it i had:

115 links in total.

113 on PR0 pages,

1 PR5 & 1 PR3 links.

All links were on pages relevant to the landing page.

Re: Why suddenly my site ranking is gone?

Hi Luna.

Google changes their algos all the time and your site might have fallen to these changes.

Look at the use of the keyword "gutters" on your index page. There are 30 repetitions of it in around 600 words.

Ask yourself if your readers need to see it repeated as often as it is.

Look at your inbound link profile.

You have a lot of links from non-relative pages like http://www.ourscenetv.com/articles/one-million-moms-boycotts-dancinc-with-the-stars-chaz-bono

http://www.buyaustralianmade.com.au/categories/farms-gardens-and-pets

http://www.nokidhungry.org/blog/news/2012/12/cory-booker%E2%80%99s-food-stamp-challenge

And look at your meta tags. Your keywords tag has over 25% repetitions of the keyword "gutter".

Google thinks that more than 3 repetitions is spam.

Also, FYI, the meta tags are "information about information" and should ONLY repeat what is ACTUALLY on the page.

The exit popup is probably a problem also.

Contact me in Skype, (vre-crash) if you would like to discuss your SEO options to regain your top positions.

Good luck.

Re: why my website is down

I'd add a h2 on the index with content under each with a link to that page in the contents key phase

Make sense?

Hi Jay,

This is very good to know and will require a few changes to several of our sites.

However, the demotion is specific to the keywords "post driver" and "post drivers". We're still ranking well for our other key phrases. Do you have any insight as to why we were dinged for these particular phrases? I was told by another SEM pro that it is probably because our blog is "postdriver.net" and is integrated with our site (which we had to do because of tech limitations on our ecommerce server). Does that seem likely?

Hi Luna,

The fact that your site has been up-and-running for 8 years almost certainly means that for one reason or another Google are not valuing your site as highly as they once did. If you have not changed your site substantially then the reason for the devaluation can only be that Google's method of valuing sites (their algorithms) have recently been changed. Nobody outside of Google knows the exact nature of the algorithms but my top 3 suggestions to make Google look more kindly upon you are "Inbound Links", "Freshness" and "Specificity". A few notes about each follow…

INBOUND LINKS
Your site has been going for 8 years and still only has a PageRank of 2 and that suggests that there are only a few "Good" sites linking to you. It could even be that you have recently suffered a penalty because you have "Bad" sites linking to you. If you have not done so already then it's important to setup and keep a watch on Google Webmaster Tools – that's where Google will tell you if they are unhappy about something on your site.

If you can provide really good, useful information on your site about your speciality subject (not overly commercial) then it is much more likely that other "Good" sites will link to you. Google takes this as a clear sign that your site is trustworthy with resultant better rankings. Have you thought about running a blog? A blog that is "promoted" on social media sites is flavour of the month for building inbound links from trusted sources!

FRESHNESS
Google are keen to ensure that "redundant" and little-used sites are purged from their rankings or at least significantly demoted. If no pages have been added to your site recently then you may have fallen foul of the sections of the Google algorithm that deal with "freshness". Here again, a blog on your site (or even just a new page dealing with a specific subject every couple of weeks) might work wonders.

SPECIFICITY
Your site has relatively few pages and because of this each page is relatively non-specific. This means that Google gives you LOW priority in the rankings for MANY different terms and what you want is the opposite! My feeling is that it is preferable to rank in the top 5 positions on page 1 for just a single key term than it is to rank on page 5 for 100 different terms. The hard truth is that people just don't visit page 5 in the SERPS let alone trust those sites!

The solution to specificity is to determine exactly what products and services you can offer and then write a page for each one. On each page you need to convince visitors (and Google) that you are the expert in this field. Using your in-depth knowledge of the subject tell visitors what the problems are and how to overcome them; show them solutions you have and can provide; show them pictures of "Before and After"; explain why your system is better than anyone else's and most importantly of all, demonstrate that you empathise with their situation and you can make their lives better!

FINAL THOUGHT
Google are becoming better and better at determining what makes for a "good user experience". If you focus on providing more and better information to potential customers then Google will increasingly reward you for it.

Hope that helps,

Colin

Re: Why was my website demoted

Lol that's why I love Jay .... He calls it like he sees it.

Actually Lynn you asked the group for help and I'd like to ask the group the same question to them and you in response to your question... What have you done for your site lately ? (Feed it.)

That's why u bounce. #1 doesn't bounce.

I have been planing sites with over 10000 pages. I like #1 ;) happy Googling Lynn

Content is KING.

Lynn,
Your not the only one that this happened to.
May 22 Google began a large demotion penalty for sites with none or minimal content above the fold.
This is an obvious SEO issue and can be solved by simply removing the 4 extremely large rotating images completely and slide the good text up.

Google can not read those big images or decipher the content of them. They can tell however what the ratio of text to image is and where on the page those images are. Google would like to be able to read the content that is exposed in the screens view without any scrolling down required. In the coming years we will see this penalty expanded because we will be moving to unilateral navigation, the ability to swipe pages up or down or side to side. When that day comes we will all be designing far differently.

As Michael Wilson has said over and over.. "Content is King" but I like to spice it up for the occasion..

"Content is King - Above the Fold"

You will come back real fast on Google after you remove the images. Don't shrink them or try to keep them on at all.
Let the Google bots know its gone completely. After your rankings come back, then shrink them down and put them below the fold.

Problem solved ! Let me know how it all went some months down the road.

Hi Luna,

The experience I have had with our own sites is that this roller-coaster type of ranking is extremely common on relatively new sites and indeed, on new pages within established sites. You sometimes hear people talk about a "Honeymoon period" and it seems that Google often rank new sites highly for a few weeks to gage the reaction to them. After this initial high ranking the sites and pages fall back in the rankings and then begin a slow climb back up again.

Again, my own experience is that it takes about a year of doing the right things for a new site and new pages to reach their "correct" position in the rankings and after that the ups and downs are much less tumultuous!

All of which is assuming you have a relatively NEW site. If you have an established site (say a year or more old) and your rankings have suddenly fallen back then you have most likely succumbed to a change in the Google algorithms. Let us know how old your site is.

Best wishes, Colin

Your site ranks 72 on desktop and 69 out of 100 on mobile according to Google PageSpeed. Speed is a factor in Google search algorithm. Why don't you try to improve your site's speed?

You can have a large image if your an expert SEO and still get enough of a good score for good SERPS.
In Lynn's case, this change would be the most effective at a chance of getting back without hundreds of hours of SEO work, that only persons like yourself and full time SEO's understand.

In Lynn"s case the timing is all all too close to the fold issue event. I have been seeing a LOT of this issue across many companies in the last 2 months. Perhaps thousands and my recommendation has been working.

Hi Jay and Lynn,

I totally agree that "Content is King" and I also believe that if you have loads of advertising above the fold then you are likely to get justifiably penalized by Google BUT I would not expect to get penalized for having large rotating pictures at the top of the screen.

Our out two websites at www.educationquizzes.com and www.jigthings.com have large pictures at the top of the screen because I believe that nowadays this is the best possible way to grab the attention of visitors to a site. Our SERPS for both sites continue to rise and we certainly have not seen an indication of any form of penalty this year. Here in the UK my two favourite shopping websites (Marks and Spencer and John Lewis) both adopt the idea of large pictures first and text later.

I would be extremely interested to hear other views. Are you there Michael Wilson?

Best wishes, Colin
