Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Melia

Hi,

I want to dynamically create unique page titles (possible meta descriptions too) on a 10k page site. Many of the page titles are either duplicates or are missing. I heard about the option of grabbing the page titles from a database or possibly using the h1 as the page title.

solmelia.com (the website consist of mostly static pages)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Melia

I will use a canonical tag, but my concern indexing the pages.

Melia

Hi,

I am having an issues among others, regarding indexing dynamic pages. Our website, www.me-by-melia, was just put live and I am concerned the bottom naviagtion pages (http://www.me-by-melia.com/#store, http://www.me-by-melia.com/#facebook, etc) will not be indexed and create duplicate pages.

Also, when you open these pages in a new tab, it takes you to homepage. The website was created in HTML5. Please advise.

Melia

Thanks! How long have you been using Magic Submiter? Have you see any results? Also, what do you recommend on how to use the tool to keep from abusing it? I just want to make sure I am not cross-posting to the point where search engines consider it a spammy technique.

Melia

Thank you for your reply. I am going to use OnlyWire.com.

Melia

Also, can you tell me what custom filter you use for google images, maps & places? That would help alot!

Melia

Am i able to change the referral for images.google.com & google.com/imgres to organic?

example:

pageTracker._addOrganic(“images.google.com”,”q”);

If so, will this allow me to see keywords for images?

Melia

Is using a platform to automatically cross post on the social bookmarking websites good or bad for SEO?

Melia

will this help me find the images url and keywords in google.com/images?

Melia

Is cross posting automatically on the multiple social media networks good for SEO or bad?

Melia

Is cross posting on the multiple social media networks good for SEO or bad?

Melia

Does anyone know how to track keywords for your images in Google, Yahoo, Bing (/imgres)?

Melia

will this software be able to export the site in xml or bascially just a offline copy?

Melia

That would probably work, keri. What are the tools you speak of?

Melia

i want a copy of the site content (on-page content and meta data) to give to an agency to optimize. its a regular site hosted on apache server

Melia

Hi,

I am having an agency optimize the content on my sites. I need to create XML Schema before I export the content into XML.

What is best way to export content including meta tags for an entire site along with the steps on how to?

Melia

Hi,

My site has several canonical issues that should be fixed.

http://www.crosscountryallied.com

For my Home Page, more links are pointing at www.crosscountryallied.com/ (887) than http:// http://www.crosscountryallied.com/ctAlliedWebSite (27). It is recommended that I implement a 301 redirect to recapture a significant amount of link value.

The following lists show the most common canonicalization errors that can be produced when using default settings on my web server:

Microsoft Internet Information Services 6 (IIS):

http://www.crosscountryallied.com/

http://www.crosscountryallied.com/default.jsp (or .jsp depending on the version)

http://crosscountryallied.com/

http://crosscountryallied.com/default.jsp

or any combination with different capitalization.

Each of these URLs spreads out the value of backlinks to our homepage. Should I just redirect them to:

http://www.crosscountryallied.com

and add a canonical tag?

Melia

What are some good sites that offer white hat link building opportunies for the Hospitality vertical?

I like the guest blogger option but dont know what site(s) are the best options?

Melia

bless your little heart erica

Melia

Do you know any tool that can find the http response code for a bulk list of urls?

Melia

Thats a great site. They dont have a section for business or properties. Which path do you think I should take?

Melia

Thank Alan. I know schema for hotels page and how to test it. But I was trying to get an actual example of my hotel in order to get it correct.

Melia

I was interested in setting up rich snippets for all our hotels. I having a difficult time finding an example for a hotel without reviews. If you could add reviews, is there a way of showing your ratings on google places? I would like to add a picture, price, reviews, etc. for www.paradisus-puntacana.com/?

Anyway, you can help me out with forming a rich snippet for this hotel?

Melia

Try looking at the pages below, we are currently using a meta reshresh at 0 seconds. We're still trying to find out how to do a 301 redirect.

Melia

Will do. I'll let you know what happens.

Melia

Here is how I did the configuration of the redirects:

I don’t understand why the destination page is different from the one is configured in the apache server. Any ideas?

For example:

http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/spanish/entertainment/ is being already being 301 redirected to a 404 page (http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/es/index.htmlentertainment/) that does not exist on the Apache server. As you can see, the url was incorrectly written.

Another occurrence from the spreadsheet is http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/spanish/gallery/beach.html, which is also being 301 redirected to a 404 page (http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/es/index.htmlgallery/beach.html). This is causing a hard 404 page.

Here is my .httpaccess file:

i know there no limit. I want to know the best solution of redirecting these 404 pages.

Melia

I am trying to 301 redirect my old site to the new site (under the same domain. Most of the 404 urls are 301 redirects from 404 pages but they are still able to redirect. I need help understanding why I cannot redirect half of my list.

gastronomia.html

Melia

Yes I understand that is a given. But the other hard 404s, which I did the exact same 301 strategy at the ones in the first post.

The succesfully 301s:

Melia

Thanks for your response. I understand the these hard 404 are coming from other 404s. But how come I am able to redirect some of the 404s and not the ones above.

For example.

I was able to redirect http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/spanish/services/ (which is orginally 301 redirected from http://www.me-by-melia.com/spanish/services/) to http://www.meliacaribetropical.com/en/services.html/ succesfully.

I dont have access to .htacess file.

Melia

I am trying redirect my old site to my new site, both on the same domain. For one reason or another, I am having a hard time redirecting the some of the old urls to the new site. Please let me know how I can fix this issue.

Below are the following old urls that are not allowing me to redirect:

Melia

Yes, I we have a extensive robot txt file but I agree a canonical tag would be best. Pointing to one page and adding content down the road would be my best bet.

Melia

Currently experiencing duplicate pages for all hotel pages. What would be recommendation to fix the pop up pages that uses javascript?

Our website has creating numberous "future pages" with no alt tag or class tag that are showing up as 404 pages, To make matters worst, they are causing duplicate 404 pages because we have different languages. The visitors cant find the 404s but the searchbots can. Would it better to remove or add the links to robot.txt or add nofollow/noindex tag? This is an example. http://www.solmelia.com/nGeneral.LINK_FAQ http://www.solmelia.com/nGeneral.LINK_HOTELESDESTINOS_BODAS http://www.solmelia.com/nGeneral.LINK_CONDICIONES http://www.solmelia.com/nGeneral.LINK_MAPSITE http://www.solmelia.com/nGeneral.LINK_HOTELESDESTINOS_EMPRESA

Melia

what you recommend on how to change the url structure from http://www.me-by-melia.com/index3.html to www.melia-by-melia,com/London?

I try to F12 on I8, and click network. How do you distingiush how many redirects there were?

Melia

Excellent point as I whole heartily agree!

Melia

Your right. I was referring to duplicate titles. Something as simple as that can be fix updating the title tags. Do you recommend I changing the titles of the page in the URL string instead of showing /press26 or /press27?

Good suggestions though!
