Does google know every time you change content on your page
-
What i mean by the question is, so on our home page www.in2town.co.uk we change the article under lifestyle story of the day, if this changes every hour, will this encourage google to visit that page more often or will then just ignore that and just visit each day
would love to hear your thoughts on this

cheers for that, will need to shift my focus, many thanks

Yeah, it seems you may be a bit more focused on a symptom, rather than on a cause. Authority is a function of your link profile and is Moz's interpretation of PageRank. The greater your authority, the more often you get crawled, and the greater your opportunity to rank higher for more search queries.

since the update of my site, things have been a bit funny. i was seeing my site get crawled every four days and now sometimes it is daily or every two days. is there anything i should do to get it crawled more often.
You say about the authority, is there anything i should be doing to improve this.

The frequency Google crawls your site/pages tends to be based on authority, rather than on how often it is updated. So if your authority dictates that your page gets crawled on a weekly basis and you change the content on a daily basis, not all of that content will get indexed.
You can see when the last time a page was crawled by using this search cache:example.com/page and you'll get the last crawl date at the top of the page. You can also look through your server log files to see crawler activty.

You mean to say that the article on home page is updated with new article every hour
Yes, as long as the content and snippet get changes and backed with Authority links - it will enable search engine to crawl website more often in lookout of fresh content. **Note - **Search Engines crawl site basis the source code, so as long as the content is changing frequently - so will the crawl too

What are the SEO recommendations for dynamic, personalised page content? (not e-commerce)
Hi, We will have pages on the website that will display different page copy and images for different user personas. The main content (copy, headings, images) will be supplied dynamically and I'm not sure how Google will index the B and C variations of these pages. As far as I know, the page URL won't change and won't have parameters. Google will crawl and index the page content that comes from JavaScript but I don't know which version of the page copy the search robot will index. If we set user agent filters and serve the default page copy to search robots, we might risk having a cloak penalty because users get different content than search robots. Is it better to have URL parameters for version B and C of the content? For example: /page for the default content /page?id=2 for the B version /page?id=3 for the C version The dynamic content comes from the server side, so not all pages copy variations are in the default HTML. I hope my questions make sense. I couldn't find recommendations for this kind of SEO issue.

Structured data and Google+ Local business page are conflicting
Hi, A few (almost 8 now) months ago we have added structured data to our website. which according to the testing tool should work. (Our url: https://www.rezdy.com) However when searching for our company name, our old local business page from Google+ shows up. I have reached out to google to tell them that we aren't a local business anymore and want the data from the page to be removed. But this all takes painfully long. I want my search result to be shown like the large businesses (examples: Adroll, Hubspot), including logo, twitter feed etc. etc. Will this all work, if so, is there a way to speed up the process, any suggestions?

Existing Pages in Google Index and Changing URLs
Hi!! I am launching a newly recoded site this week and had a another noobie question. The URL structure has changed slightly and I have installed a 301 redirect to take care of that. I am wondering how Google will handle my "old" pages? Will they just fall out of the index? Or does the 301 redirect tell Google to rewrite the URLs in the index? I am just concerned I may see an "old" page and a "new" page with the same content in the index. Just want to make sure I have covered all my bases. Thanks!! Lynn
