Page in html and Wp as blog
-
Hello, i have a website in html5 and recently i did a new folder in my site: www.site.com/blog for example, and there i installed Wordpress.
I would like to know if that is correct, because 1 have 2 sites different and maybe i had that install WP in blog.site.com ?
Must i add www.site.com/blog in WMT?
Thanks for all.

Sorry, Juan Carlos, I'm still not clear on the differences between the 2 sections of the sites.
You say "The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) ... but the website don't talk about that".
Then you say: "The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site."
If the blog isn't specifically about the same topics and targeted at the same web visitors as the html site, then it's not going to help get more sales and should be completely separate. It sounds to me like you're doing a general blog, but hope it will generate traffic for the specific sales site. This almost never works, as having a lot of off-topic content on the blog will confuse the search engines about what the sales site is about. It will also be attracting visitors that aren't interested in your site's products, which is a waste.
My suggestion would be to have the blog completely separate, and then when you do write a post that actually is about something the html site sells, link to the page about that product.
Alternatively, (and this would be far stronger for SEO of the sales site) leave the blog where it is and limit the blog topics mostly to things that relate directly to the products you are selling.
Make sense?

Hi Paul, the blog is in Wordpress and the general website in html 100%. The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) and to talk about tips, advices, etc.. but the website don't talk about that, the blog is a complement. The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site.
Do am i in the correct way?
PD: I would like to add my blog to WMT to get more exactly estadistics from there.

Is the blog an integral part of the html website, Juan Carlos? By that, I mean - do they serve the same audience? Does the blog support the purpose of the html site? Are they about the same topics and designed to enhance the value of each other? If so, having the blog as a subdirectory of the html site is exactly the correct approach.
If, on the other hand, you simply want to have another website (the blog) in the same hosting account as the html site, and they're about different things, then you should keep them completely separate. Best way is to set the blog up as a completely separate site on your hosting account. At the very least, setting it as a subdomain (blogname.yoursite.com) would be better, but best is still to separate them completely with a new domain name for the blog.
As far as adding site.com/blog to Webmaster Tools. that's only necessary if you wish to designate the /blog folder as targeted at a different country than the main site. (Many sites use this method to have a subsite specially targeted for a different country or language for example).
Bottom line - if the html site and blog are on the same topic and designed to help each other, your setup is correct. If the blog targets different topics and audience, you need to separate it from the other site.
Does that make sense?

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

What is the proper way to execute 'page to page redirection'
I need to redirection every page of my website to a new url of another site I've made. I intend to add:"Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html"I will use the 301 per page to redirect every page of my site, but I'm confused that if I add:"Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/" it will redirect all of my pages to the homepage and ignore the URLs i have separately mentioned for redirection.Please guide me.

Parent pages
Hi guys, A website has many venue pages, for example: www.example.com/venue/paris For some reason the parent www.example.com/venue/ is 301 redirecting to a minor page elsewhere on the website. Should I remove the 301 redirect and then create www.example.com/venue/ page that then links to all the venues? My thinking is: Google will expect there to be a /venue/ 'parent' page So if the parent page is redirecting to a minor page elsewhere within the website its telling Google all the venues like paris must be even less important. Should I do it? Any suggestions from fellow SEOMoz's would be appreciated! All the best Richard

Duplicate Page Title/Content Issues on Product Review Submission Pages
Hi Everyone, I'm very green to SEO. I have a Volusion-based storefront and recently decided to dedicate more time and effort into improving my online presence. Admittedly, I'm mostly a lurker in the Q&A forum but I couldn't find any pre-existing info regarding my situation. It could be out there. But again, I'm a noob... So, in my recent SEOmoz report I noticed that over 1,000 Duplicate Content Errors and Duplicate Page Title Errors have been found since my last crawl. I can see that every error is tied to a product in my inventory - specifically each product page has an option to write a review. It looks like the subsequent page where a visitor can fill out their review is the stem of the problem. All of my products are shown to have the same issue: Duplicate Page Title - Review:New Duplicate Page Content - the form is already partially filled out with the corresponding product My first question - It makes sense that a page containing a submission form would have the same title and content. But why is it being indexed, or crawled (or both for that matter) under every parameter in which it could be accessed (product A, B, C, etc)? My second question (an obvious one) - What can I do to begin to resolve this? As far as I know, I haven't touched this option included in Volusion other than to simply implement it. If I'm missing any key information, please point me in the right direction and I'll respond with any additional relevant information on my end. Many thanks in advance!

Getting individual website pages to rank for their targeted terms instead of just the home page
Hi Everyone, There is a pattern which I have noticed when trying to get individual pages to rank for the allocated targeted terms when I execute an SEO campaign and would been keen on anyones thoughts on how they have effectively addressed this. Let me try and explain this by going through an example: Let's say I am a business coach and already have a website where it includes several of my different coaching services. Now for this SEO campaign, I'm looking to improve exposure for the clients "business coaching" services. I have a quick look at analytics and rankings and notice that the website already ranks fairly well for that term but from the home page and not the service page. I go through the usual process of optimising the site (on-page - content, meta data, internal linking) as well as a linkbuilding campaign throughout the next couple of month's, however this results in either just the home page improving or the business page does improve, but the homepage's existing ranking has suffered, therefore not benefiting the site overall. My question: If a term already ranks or receives a decent amount of traffic from the home page and not from the page that its supposed to, why do you think its the case and what would you be your approach to try shift the traffic to the individual page, without impacting the site too much?. Note: To add the home page keyword target term would have been updated? Thanks, Vahe
