Facebook Pixel Integration
-
Howdy Moz Fans,
When using a Facebook Pixel Integration plugin it sticks a small pixel on all your pages.
Who votes that you should "no follow" this link? Interested to hear opinions on this.
Example destination it sticks on the page is
Not a major issue, but it does flag up about 3000 times on Screaming Frog as it doesnt have a image alt....

It's embedded in a piece of Javascript which pulls in an image to your site from theirs. Just ignore it - it has no effect on SEO whatsoever. the only time it could affect is if it loaded slowly.
I would not play about with it in an attempt to no follow.

NigelHi Nigel,
Thanks for the clarification! It's reassuring to know that the Facebook Pixel, being embedded in Javascript for image loading, has minimal impact on SEO. Your advice to overlook it unless it causes slow loading aligns with a practical approach. It's indeed wise not to tinker with it for nofollow attempts. Your insights provide a clear perspective, and I appreciate your guidance on handling the Facebook Pixel with a focus on site performance. https://www.pixelscalculator.com/dpi-calculator/

Integrating the Facebook Pixel is like adding a finely tuned compass to your digital strategy. It transforms scattered data into a navigable map, offering insights that guide your online journey. This integration doesn't just track; it illuminates user pathways, enabling businesses to tailor experiences. However, in this data-driven adventure, let's not forget the ethical checkpoint – seek user consent before activating the Pixel. It's the compass of personalization, and with respect for privacy, it ensures that every step is a mutual venture between businesses and their online explorers.

Integrating the Facebook Pixel into your website is a powerful strategy for enhancing your digital marketing efforts.

The Facebook Pixel allows you to track user interactions, measure the effectiveness of your ads, and optimize your targeting for better results. To integrate the pixel, follow Facebook's step-by-step instructions provided in the Events Manager. This process involves placing a small piece of code on your website, enabling you to gather valuable data on user behavior. With this data, you can refine your advertising strategies, improve ad targeting, and ultimately boost the overall performance of your Facebook ad campaigns. -

What's the best way to integrate off site inventory?
I can't seem to make any progress with my car dealership client in rankings or traffic. I feel like I've narrowed out most of the common problems, the only other thing I can see is that all their inventory is on a subdomain using a dedicated auto dealership software. Any suggestion of a better way to handle this situation? Am I missing something obvious? The url is rcautomotive.com Thanks for your help!

A Wordpress site has a footer widget for facebook with some images, all of which are served within an iframe. The FB CDN robots is blocking the images from being crawled so Webmaster Tools rendering tool is reporting these 8 or so images as blocked. Should I be concerned?

To integrate a blog tool onto site - or build a blog solution - what's better for SEO?
Currently looking at adding a blog to our company site subdirectory and wanted to know if there was a SEO distinction between the following methods: Integrating a bolt-on blog tool with the site to create the blog VS. just using the current site infrastructure to build blog functionality. What's better for SEO? (and if tool integration is the overwhelming response - which tool?). Cheers.

Can these Yoast SEO integration issued be solved?
I had a site analysis done by the Yoast team. Of course, one of their recommendations was to install the Yoast SEO product. I see that there are many independent sources highly recommending it. But my programming is coming back with some concerns. My website is www.heartspm.com, for anyone who is interested in further analysis of my issue. My programmer's notes follow. Unfortunately, they are a bit to cryptic: "1. it does not do all for us anyway, so we'd have to keep the one's I made
Technical SEO | | GerryWeitz
before anyway, at least partially, but it will add up to complexety, loading
time as all new, and especially one-size-fits all plugins 2. another problem - Simple Press forum. Yoast does not have an extention for it, nor is it going to work along with our existing forum's SEO handling solution. So, it's
either reverting back to original SEO handling or forgetting Yoast. 3. original handling means no meta description although I think Yoast will put just
one description for each page, and title will be something like "<forum <br="">title> - <topic title="">whatever else you may want" 4. the same thing with XML sitemap 5. we won't be able to use Yoast's because it won't handle cities 6. and hopefully it will work with our existing XML sitemap solution as this can be turned off" Now, The Yoast team admitted and logically said that the Yoast plugin cannot support another plugin and therefore it does not support forums. We currently integrate the forum into our Wordpress site and perhaps imperfectly, but we are able to append forum links to the xml sitemap. Do any of you have insight into how one incorporates a forum into a Wordpress blog while using Yoast SEO?</topic></forum> We have special parameter based handling of cities. We used to pass codes like city=?zip and the like. Now, the URLS are very clean looking, but they use templates to match up cities in a city table with content that is somewhat similar, yet customizable. So my programmer seems to be saying that the Yoast tool doesn't seem to handle templates well or is not able to interpret it and get it into a sitemap. Do any of you have insight into using Yoast SEO with Wordpress sites that use templates and variables for locals or something of a similar nature? The Yoast SEO module also has switches to help resolve issues with duplicate content and archives and authors and multiple pages, i.e. page 1-10 of Latest News. If I can't use the whole Yoast module, are there ways to use only parts of it or to strip it down to what I want? Do you think with the above considerations, that the Yoast SEO module is not worth the trouble? Thanks in advance, Humbly, Gerry0 -
Facebook Like button issue
In looking through my top pages in Google Analytics, my #2 page (oddly enough) looked like this "/?fb_xd_fragment=". Apparently, this is because we added the Facebook Like button to many of our pages. But I'm worried these show very skewed PageView data and lower Time Spent on each page. The average time on this page is 5 seconds whereas the average sitewide time is much higher. Further, it shows 9,000 pageviews coming from only 250 Unique Visitors. I'm sure this is messing with our SEO. Is there a fix for this? Should I even be worried about it? I heard that I can remove it from my GA stat reporting, but I don't want it to be causing problems in the background. Please advise..my boss wants to keep the Facebook Like button the pages as it has brought us some good response. The page that this is on is: www.accupos.com Maybe there's an alternate version of the Facebook Like that we don't know about... I would appreciate any help on this DM

.htaccess when integrating one website into another
My client would like to integrate one of it's smaller websites into its main website. I've identified around 20 pages which I'd like to 301 redirect to specific pages on the main website, and this is simple enough. The problem I have is that I am not sure how I can then put a catch-all to redirect all other pages on the site to the homepage of the main website. I'd originally though something like this would work: redirect 301 / http://www.mainwebsite.com/ (catch-all)
Technical SEO | | AndrewAkesson
redirect 301 /about.asp http://www.mainwebsite.com/about (specific redirect 1)
redirect 301 /latest.asp http://www.mainwebsite.com/news (specific redirect 1)
etc. Any ideas?0 -
