New Ecom Category
-
Hello,
I'd like to create a new category for my store.
All products will be from other categories, no new products will be added.
So this is really content that is already on my site.
I will add cateogry specific text in this page with unique title, etc.
But the products are all already on my site.Is this duplicate content, will this be a bad move?
Thanks

Maybe good keywords... maybe good traffic... but duplicate content won't get you a ton of great content

God almighty, please stop with the customer in mind.
Yes its good for the customer and if I rank for these keywords I will get more traffic.
I thought about disallowing these pages, but they are good keywords that will get me traffic.

I don't think it's a bad move if you have the needs of your consumers in mind. If it's specifically for the consumer, you might think about not allowing this new category to be used. If it's for SEO, I don't really see a lot of value there? Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
-
It is partially duplicate content, yes. As long as you're creating a unique title and unique on page text for the new category, you should be fine, though.

New domain wipes out domain authority
A client wanted to change their domain name, which we have now done. The site content itself is exactly the same. We put 301 redirect links in so that Google searchers would redirect from the old site to the new one. However Moz then said that it couldn't crawl the old domain because of the redirects and advised creating a brand new campaign for the new domain. We have done this but now Moz says that the domain authority of the new site is 2 (it was 14 on the old domain). Specifics are:

old domain: https://ryemeadcleaning.co.uk
new domain: https://ryemeadgroup.co.uk So basically it seems like we're starting again from scratch with the new domain and all the SEO from the old domain has been lost? Have we done it wrong?0 -
Is it a good idea to use an old domain name for a new product
Hi guys, I have a domain name XYZ.com which hosts the site of a technology service company as of now. The company however didn't do well and shut down a few years ago. Now, that company wants to launch a new set of technology products and wants to use the same domain name. Is it a good idea. The issues that I can see here are: 1. Google has previous pages indexed 2. There are a couple of subdomains totally irrelevant to the business. like employees.xyz.com there. 3. Can the previous indexing be completely undone. Regards, Mayank

What is better for SEO, keeping a current blog or creating a new one?
We are working with a client to build a new website. They are asking if we should keep their existing blog or create a new one. If they keep the current blog, should we move it so we can incorporate it into their new site or keep it as a separate URL? Or, should we build the new site into the current blog––they are using Wordpress, so we would be able to build out the blog to incorporate the new website.

What can I do about missing Meta Description for category pagest etc.?
On all my campaigns I'm returning high levels of 'Missing Meta Description Tags'. The problem with fixing this is they're all for category, tag and author pages. Is there a way to add a meta description to these pages (there are hundreds) or will it not really have any ranking effect?

If I point a domain name to a new faster server, will I lose some keyword ranking?
I'm redesigning a client's site, breaking up content into separate pages and moving the site to a managed server keeping the same domain name. Will I lose any link juice or keyword ranking for site even if I 301 redirect the old pages to the new titled pages?
