Syndicated posts extracts on wordpress and impact on SERPS
-
On our main site (http://www.deeperblue.com) we've been syndicating posts (not the full posts just link and short extract) from a trusted partner of ours.
These posts are listed as Diverwire Staff and point directly back to the original website.
What i'm concerned about is the impact on SERPS - we don't want to be penalised by any of the search engines.

You'll want to make sure that you're using the Canonical Tag so Google and others know that your site owns & is the originator of the content.

Identify hidden content + Question of impact
I have a client that had a web agency which systematically implemented hidden content. Is there a tool that will compare source content vs what is readable on from the browser? Otherwise, can you recommend articles that focus on doing this? What are the impact on hidden content these days? Another client had hidden content on the first page and when we took over them they were ranking nr 2 with the home page on their brand name (nr 1 with a sub page). We have checked the link profile with Majestic, Ahrefs and Moz and nothing spammy comes up so I doubt it is Penguin related.

Non-Existent Parent Pages SEO Impact
Hello, I'm working with a client that is creating a new site. They currently are using the following URL structure: http://clientname.com/products/furry-cat-muffins/ But the landing page for the directory /products/ does not actually have any content. They have a similar issue for the /about/ directory where the menu actually sends you to /about/our-story/ instead of /about/. Does it hurt SEO to have the URL structure set up in this way and also does it make sense to create 301 redirects from /about/ to /about/our-story/?

Could a partial repost outrank my original post?
A blogger asked to repost one of my articles. I said they could if they used rel="canonical" However, they're on blogger and not too technically skilled. They couldn't figure it out, so I suggested just reposting part of the article. Here's their repost: http://ditchyourfridge.blogspot.ca/2013/07/graeme-blake-living-without-home.html Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

Best practices for repetitive job postings
I have a client who is a recruiter for skilled trades jobs. They post quite a few jobs on their job board on a regular basis. They frequently have job postings that are very similar to older jobs or multiple current job postings that are similar to each other. Looking at their webmaster tools and site: command search in google, it does appear they have some duplicate content issues. We're thinking it's because of the similar job posts. What is the best practice for dealing with this? And is there any way to correct the situation so that the number of "omitted due to similarity" results declines? Thanks for you help!

Different serps
Hi, I seem to be making progress in recovering from penguin/panda. (maybe) However I get vastly different results if I search google in different ways for example if I specify the geographic location as US (I am in the UK) for prom hairstyles ie http://www.google.com/search?q=prom+hairstyles&gl=us (which I believe gives the SERPs for the US or at least it used to) my site (prom-hairstyles.org) comes in at number two or sometimes on the second page. But if I just search google.com it comes in at 450 or so. My question is do you get the same and why such a big difference? Thanks, Ian

How To Find and Delete Erroneous Pages From My Wordpress Site
I've downloaded the Seomoz csv file from the crawl data on my site and it found lots of 404 errors, duplicate content, etc. The problem is that when i go to my wp-admin and look for the pages to delete them, I dont see them. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've checked with HostGator and they say it's a WP problem. I need help locating where they are so i can clean them up or delete them. Thanks Mike

How do I put something below description in the SERPs of Google?
How do I put something below description, the search box within the website, and map in SERPs of Google? For example, when I enter ‘mit’ as the keyword in Google, the description of MIT is shown more. Many thanks in advance.
