        if you are or not switching hosting providers it is always a good idea to put this information down on a piece of paper like this

        http://netdna.copyblogger.com/documents/WordPress-Emergency-Checklist.pdf

        here is more on the checklist for hosting

        I hope the SEO checklist along with hosting is helpful.

        Sincerely,

              What is the best way to handle annual events on a website?

              Every year our company has a user conference with between 300 - 400 attendees. I've just begun giving the event more of a presence on our website. I'm wondering, what is the best way to handle highlights from previous years? Would it be to create an archive (e.g. www.companyname.com/eventname/2015) while constantly updating the main landing page to promote the current event? We also use an event website (cvent) to handle our registrations. So once we have an agenda for the current years event I do a temporary redirect from the main landing page to the registration website. I don't really like this practice and I feel like it might be better to keep all of the info on the main domain. Wondering if anybody has any opinions or feedback on that process as well. Just looking for best practices or what others have done and have had success with.

              Woocommerce SEO and Product attributes

              Hi friends! I have a question that is advanced Woocommerce and seo-related.
              I'm seeing http://www.mywebsitex.com/pa_keyword/indexed in Google, but it cannot be properly optimized, and I would prefer to have a WordPress Page indexed for that keyword instead, which also lists those products and can be fully seo optimized. Woocommerce SEO plugin by Yoast lacks documentation and I have no clue if that would even fix this. I do have the Taxonomy (pa_keyword) set to not include these in the sitemap, but there doesn't seem to be a way to noindex/nofollow product attributes.
              1. How can I best accomplish this?
              2. Why are product attributes indexed by default?

              SEO and Squarespace? Is this Really an Option?

              Hi all, Any feedback on Squarespace, SEO capabilites and ranking factors? I have a client wishing to use the platform and despite the good reviews, which appear to be from resellers by the way, the forums say not. Although apparently Rand Fishkin, SEOMoz (yes right here!) gave them a big thumbs up “The square space team have put together a remarkable platform, SEO friendliness! Really not sure here and don’t agree, there are many limitations and hosting with a template provider is always big no no. Cheers

              E-Commerce Website Architecture - Cannibalization between Product Categories and Blog Categories?

              Hi, I have an e-commerce site that sells laptops. My main landing pages and category pages are as follows:
              "Toshiba Laptops", "Samsung Laptops", etc. We also run a WP blog with industry news.
              The posts are divided into categories which are basically as our landing pages.
              The posts themselves usually link to the appropriate e-commerce landing page.
              For example: a post about a new Samsung Laptop which is categorized in the blog under "Samsung Laptops" will naturally link somewhere inside to the "samsung laptops" ecommerce landing page. Is that good or do the categories on the blog cannibalize my more important e-commerce section landing pages? Thanks

              B2C directory website adding B2B ecommerce sub-domain

              Hey fellow Mozzers, Just got back from Mozcon and enjoyed getting to know a handful of you. I do in house SEO for a B2B wholesaler. We have a B2C website directory for homeowners to locate contractors to work on their home. On the site we have a products section which includes tech specs but not pricing. Our contractors have been asking us to add the ability to purchase their items online, so we are wanting to add a B2B sub-domain (store.domain.com) to our website for the contractors to purchase products online. We do not want consumers to be able to purchase the items and will have pricing behind a log in. I have a few questions that I'm hoping you might be able to answer: 1. What would be the best practice to not have duplicate content errors with products that are listed on both sites? Should we rel-canonical items shown on both domains or do something else?
              2. We are not against having the new site be crawled, but will Google be upset/ding rankings because pricing is behind a log-in? Are there certain best-practices for B2B ecommerce sites?
              3. Do you know of any other sites that have done this/do you have any recommendations on how to best implement this?

              Recommended Website Monitoring Tools

              Hi, I was wondering what people would recommend for website monitoring (IE is my website working as it should!). I need something that will:
              1/. Allow multiple page monitoring not just homepage
              2/. Do header status checking
              3/. Do page content checking (ie if the page changes massively, or include the word "error") then we have an issue!
              4/. Multiple alert possibilities. We currently use www.websitepulse.com and it is a good service that does all the above, however it just seems so overly complex that its hard to understand what is going on, and its complex functionality and features are really a negative in our case. Thanks
