No-index part of page
-
Hi All,
I want to copy articles from CNN/Bloomberg/etc and I want to show the content to my users in Lightbox (CSS), but the problem is duplicate content.
Do you have any idea how can I no-index part of page/content?
-
In that case you will have to install/use another type of light box - the two examples I menitioned offer the possibility to integrate iframes.

Hi Again,
I Don't have URL for the lightbox :|. -
Thanks all!

Hi John,
The answer of both Martijn and Brendan is correct - there is currently no way to tell Google not to index a part of a page.
If you want to present external content in a lightbox the best ways to do so would be to
- put a noindex on the page where you put the lightbox
- put a canonical url on your page - pointing to the original source.
A more elaborate way would be to create a separate page on your site that contains only the external content that you want to put in the lightbox and put this page as noindex. Then you call this page in an iframe in the lightbox. I am not an expert in lightboxes - apparently not all of them are capable to call an iframe - these ones do http://fancybox.net/, http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/ and probably a lot of others as well if you google it.
rgds,
Dirk

sorry, this is not my question...
there is way to say for google - don't index this lightbox?? -
You'll definitely need to add a link to the source anyway but even so, I'd carefully check the terms and conditions of the sites you mentioned to see whether they allow this.
If you're adding a timeline, I presume it won't be updated very often so I'd really urge you to create your own content rather than take it from another source. It sounds like a very risky strategy to me.

Hi there,
It will be timeline, I want to show for my users full content without getting punished. there is way? maybe Link to the source? -
We all would like a way for Google to ignore a certain part of page, but no there is no option for now to do it like that. Next to that I agree with Brendan on checking if there is any value at all to do this.

Hi John,
Can I ask why you would want to 'copy articles' from another source? What value will you be providing to your readers if the articles are available elsewhere, especially on really high authority sites like the ones you mention?
Surely a better way would be to provide content of genuine interest and value to your readers. Also, I presume that the sites you mention will also have copyrighted content on their site so it may not be a great long-term strategy for you.

Multiple Local Schemas Per Page
I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site. The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations. When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP). Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup. I think this would be confusing for search robots. Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM. Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?

Internal links, new pages & Domain Authority
I have two questions regarding Domain Authority: 1. Is it possible that a drop in Domain Authority may have been caused by adding a blog and blog posts? In other words, would adding pages/posts dilute the site's authority? And will it catch back up with itself or will that require inbound links to those new pages? (oops! that was 3 questions in one) 2. Would it be detrimental to have internal links coming from blog posts without authority to my Home page and could that have contributed to a drop in Domain Authority? Thanks!

Website Blog causes duplicate pages
Hello, I added a blog to my website, which is hosted at weebly. I was told this would drive traffic but I have actually fallen way, way down in Alexa rankings. When I ran a campaign here, the results show over a 100 errors, all to do with the website blog. It states they are duplicate pages and titles. I dont see a way to rename the pages. Am I better off getting rid of the blog? Thanks

How to Add canonical tags on .ASPX pages?
What is the proper way (or is it possible) to add canonical tags on website pages that end in .aspx? If you add a canonical tag to the Master Page it will put that exact canonical tag on every page, which is bad. Is there a different version of the tag to put on individual pages? And one to put on the home page without the Master Page error?
