Optimising 2 ecommerce sites
-
Hi there
I have been optimising an e-commerce site snowsupermarket.co.uk and it's range of products available to B2C customers.
I have now been asked to do the same for the B2B site shop.snowbusiness.com which sells the same products but also, many more.
My question is,
Should i use completely different meta information or choose keywords that are my second choice?
Both sites are also on the same IP - would this be a problem with potential duplicate content?
Many thanks in advance,
Ben

Keywords are not needed anymore.

Thanks
-
Then i m afraid that the answer to your question is yes. there is a risk of duplicate content between both sites
-
Hi there
The .com site only sells to UK
-
Hi Ben,
Its definitely a risk of duplicate content.
Potential fix:
the .co.uk is definitely a site that is targeting for the UK audience. and the shop.snowbusiness.com resides on a .com (obviously) so is the intent of that domain (other than b2b) is it to target the English speaking People in the world? if so i recommend, based on your current business plans and goals, to target this domain for the whole world. ie make all your currency in dollars, use href lang between the UK and the .com etc( you are providing signals to google that this website is my World website and this is only for my uk market)
Ps i see also duplication between your items and items listed on ebay. so make note of that.
Cheers

Adwords Ad disapproved - Banned product on Site (glutamine)?
We are starting to get ads disapproved. One yesterday, one today. The reason - banned supplement 'glutamine'. Neither of these ads were for glutamine so I assume it's because l-glutamine is sold on the site. The actual ad for l-glutamine landing on the l-glutamine page has not been disapproved? In 2012 Google informed us the glutamine was no longer on the banned list so I'm not sure what's going on here? Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there a solution apart from removing the product entirely?

How would changing every title tag on your site at once affect SEO?
We are moving our website to a new CMS, and working with a vendor who would like to change the title tags from the current format to a breadcrumb structure. Our fear is that this may negatively impact the current optimization efforts in place. Our current title tags are a mixed bag of good, bad and neutral, but some have been optimized for best practices. Does anyone have any insight on the effect we would see if everything were changed at once, or any suggestions on how we could test this before we launch the "new" site? Thanks!

How to track in Google Analytics 2 different subdomains (one for website, the other for PPC landing pages)
Hello Mozers! I have a website with organic visits/goals on www.site.com and a few AdWords Campaign landing pages on lp.site.com whose goals are tracked with both adwords conversion monitoring AND analytics (not imported from analytics into Adword). The landing pages of the campaign have nothing to do with the web site (different cms, they don't link each other, totally isolated) and viceversa. Given that, what would it be the best practice to configure Google Analytics to track the website (www.site.com) AND a PPC campagin (lp.site.com)? I have been told to set up different views of the same property, but do I really need that? Please let me know what are you thinking. Thank you very much. DoMiSoL Rossini

Noob Question on franchise sites
What is the best way to approach these franchise sites that have tons of location pages with 95% same content on every page? Each location has its own unique url that just redirects to the main franchise location page, but with no uniqueness or independent blog is it even possible to get a page like this ranked locally or is the best route PPC?

Enhanced Sitelinks for Large Ecommerce Sites
We're about to set up enhanced sitelinks for our main site but I'm not sure about the best way to do this given the duplicate URL rule. Ex. we have a campaign for X category of products. X category has 13 subcategories and each subcategory has 4 ad groups. So in total, campaign X category has 52 ad groups in it. We planned to do a sitelink for every ad group, so 52 for this X category of products. But the duplicate URL rule makes this difficult considering how many will be in a single campaign. Making them links to related subcategories isn't possible as we'd run into duplicates really fast. Same with About Us, Contact Us, etc. What's the best way of approaching this?

Your Google AdWords account has been permanently suspended for repeated violation of AdWords or Landing Page and Site policies in this or a related account.
My client nor I received any warning. We even had a google adwords team optimize the account and my rep does not yet know the reason for the ban. Not sure if its related but their google organic rankings dropped significantly at the same time. https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164786 Any advice here? Do these Questions get indexed by google? I will ask my client if I can disclose the domain. Is there any way around a permanent ban? They were spending 50K per month. Is this enough to have any clout?
