Link Webmaster Tools to Tag Manager
-
I know it is now possible to verify google webmaster tools accounts using google tag manager, but is it also possible to create a link from webmaster tools to tag manager? I would like to connect the two. I have analytics already linked to tag manager, but can't find a clear answer regarding webmaster tools.
Anybody?

It always amazes me when clients ask for stuff when they don't even know why they would need it. I'm not sure it's even possible to link them, and even if it was....I don't see what value it could possibly provide without all the systems that the tags are intended allowing for integration between them.
The value of linking Webmaster Tools and Analytics is obvious. There's stuff happening off-site that you might want to know about (inbound links, impressions on search, etc) and have integrated into your analytics report...fair enough.
The same is not true of Google Tag Manager, which simply allows you to manage the various tags easily. These tags are normally related to allowing other systems to do stuff (such as collect data). It is these systems that need to be integrated, if possible (e.g. Analytics and Adwords).

Hi Yusuf,
Thanks for the response! I know, it isn't necessary to do so, just have a challenging client who keeps insisting. So, there you have it! Just hoping to achieve some peace of mind, really
Thank you again.
Cheers,
Susan

Hi Susan,
I'm not aware of being able to "link" Tag Manager and Webmaster Tools, but am also not sure why you would need to.
What were you hoping to achieve?

Malicious Link
Hello all, We're doing an adwords campaign, and Google has said that there is a malicious link on the website we're looking to advertise - so cannot launch the campaign. I've tried to go through Search Console (I am a novice BTW). And it says that "Domain properties are not supported at this time". Which I don't understand. Any advice please?!

SEOMOZ and Webmaster Tools showing Different Page Index Results
I am promoting a jewelry e-commerce website. The website has about 600 pages and the SEOMOZ page index report shows this number. However, webmaster tools shows about 100,000 indexed pages. I have no idea why this is happening and I am sure this is hurting the page rankings in Google. Any ideas? Thanks, Guy

Do canonical tags pass all of the link juice onto the URL they point to?
I have an ecommerce website where the category pages have various sorting and paging options which add a suffix to the URLs. My site is setup so the root category URL, domain.com/category-name, has a canonical tag pointing to domain.com/category-name/page1/price however all links, both interner & external, point to the former (i.e. domain.com/category-name). I would like to know whether all of the link juice is being passed onto the canonical tag URL? Otherwise should I change the canonical tag to point the other way? Thanks!

Too Many On-Page Links
Hello. My Seomoz report this week tells me that I have about 500 pages with Too Many On-Page Links One of the examples is this one: https://www.theprinterdepo.com/hp-9000mfp-refurbished-printer (104 links) If you check, all our products have a RELATED products section and in some of them the related products can be UP to 40 Products. I wonder how can I solve this. I thought that putting nofollow on the links of the related products might fix all of these warnings? Putting NOFOLLOW does not affect SEO?

Why would you remove a canonical link?
Currently, my client's blog makes a duplicate page every time someone comments on a post. The previous SEO consultant told the developer to not put a canonical link directing it to the main blog post. Did taking out the canonical link result in these duplicate pages? My question is why would she recommend this action? Is it best to now add in the canonical link in or should we implement a 301 redirect or insert a index: no follow? Would adding a canonical link keep duplicate pages from happening in the future?

.Nofollow and link count
If i use nofollow on links ( internal or external ), will it reduce the link count as regard to Google. If there are 50 external links, and i nofollow 20 of them, will Google count this as 30 external links.
