How to put news on your site from other sources and is it a good idea
-
Hi i have seen this site and have been watching it for some time and really like it. I would like to put news on my site for one topic and would like it displayed like this site does but i am not sure how they do it.
here is the site http://www.topix.com/uk/grimsby
I use joomla so i am not sure you can do exactly what they do where they have so much of the story before being sent over to the main site.
Also i would like to know if this is a good idea or a bad idea as i am thinking this could take away my juice from my site
any advice would be great.

Does not take from your site. This type of feed, to some degree was presumed to bring freshness or keep a site current. Most are in sidebars and I think are likely devalued or irrelevant. (See Alan's comment - there is a reason he does it that way.)
If you want to add something to your site for your visitors and you believe it is relevant to them, do it. Set it where it always opens to a new tab or page so that if they close the feed page they landed on before returning, your page is still on their screen.
As to looking at a site to try to understand it, I can't. I see sites everyday that i have to believe have a purpose...I will never know what it is.

would it take away any of my juice from my site and also would it be a good idea or a bad idea. want people to stay on my site but thinking if i do this then people will leave my site and not come back. in two minds if to do it.
the one thing i cannot understand about the above site is, all they do is have feeds so how do they make money if people are going to jump off their site every two seconds.

You can do this with Joomla using practically any news feed. We use joomla on many client sites and have feeds. With most you can control how much of the feed to show. Many use Feed Burner but there are others that work well.

I have done it many times, i have not noticed any bad results.
I do it with code not wirth a CMS, I believe search engines can see that it is from news feeds or sites.
I use the Bing API to get news from Bing, or consume xml feeds. Some time I just request the webpage containing the news stories and cut out the string containing the stories.

What is a good crawl budget?
Hi Community! I am in the process of updating sitemaps and am trying to obtain a standard for what is considered "strong" crawl budget? Every documentation I've found includes how to make it better or what to watch out for. However, I'm looking for an amount to obtain for (ex: 60% of the sitemap has been crawled, 100%, etc.)

Rewrite a good post
Hello I have a blog post from 2015 that is ranking very well on Google but I have a terrible bounce rate of more than 98% for this landing page. This post is bringing 4 more visits than the rest of my website pages so I need to make people stay in the site. I don't want to lose my rankings so my question is: Is it better to modify this post or to write a new post and delete the old one? Thank you

Any ideas why this site is being penalized?
http://www.my-french-house.com/ has been online since around 2004 and has nearly always been in the top 10 serps for terms like 'property for sale in france'. However, over the last 12 months we've been hit really hard by Google and have fallen dramatically in rank. Can anyone give any insight into what may have happened? As an aside, we've had no message in the Google Webmaster Console and have not contacted Google about the apparent penalty / penalization. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jim

How much of an issue is it if a site is somehow connected to a site that was penalized by Google?
I am working with someone that is about to launch a new site, and one of the sites was affected by the Panda update. Does it matter if the two sites are connected? Share the same hosting provider and same Google Webmaster's account?
