It really depends on how the backend of your site is built.

On my site, I could edit the title tag on 100,000 pages at once using an excel file (if I wanted to).

I don't want to sound like a smart butt, but you should reduce the amount of characters in your Title Tags to less than 70 to remove the errors.  It is that simple.  Anything more than 70 does not display in Google, anyway.

Hi there!

Currently all the URLs on my website, even the home page, end it .html, such as http://www,consumerbase.com/index.html

Is this bad?
Is there any benefit to this?

Should I remove it and just have them end with a forward slash?
If I 301 redirect the old .html URLs to the forward slash URLs, will I lose PA?

Thanks!

Here's what I know about sitelinks in a nutshell:

Google randomly chooses them, there is no markup involved.

From my experience, more prominent pages from your navigation tend to be chosen.

All you can do is choose which pages should NOT display as sitelinks by demoting them in GWT.

It is easiest to attain sitelinks for branded search terms.

Interesting question, I'm interested to see what other people have to say.

Our site has a TON of internal links, a much higher ratio than our competitors.  I'm wondering if adjusting this will help us rank better.

Hi Mozzers,

What are your thoughts on using www.folkd.com for video SEO?

We have a few company videos and would like to possibly get a backlink by either embedding one of our youtube videos on our site or self hosting the video.

Are bookmarking sites like this spammy?

No, it won't.

I suggest doing as Google recommends, removing the old URL and adding the new URL to your sitemap.

The sitemap only helps index your pages and optimize which pages get crawled more frequently.  It does not help with value transfer.

When Google crawls the new URL through your sitemap, I believe it will also see the 301 redirect pointing towards it.

Thanks for the reply Paul.

I'm a little confused here: 
"Change old Page A redirect to Page C" Ideally that is what I would like to do, but is it even possible to change a 301 redirect?  I thought it was called permanent for a reason.

Hi Mozzers, What happens if I have a trail of 301 redirects for the same page?

For example,
SiteA.com/10 --> SiteA.com/11 --> SiteA.com/13 --> SiteA.com/14

I know I lose a little bit of link juice by 301 redirecting.
The question is, would the link juice look like this for the example above?

100% --> 90% --> 81% -->72.9%
Or just 100% -----------------------------------------> 90%

Does this link juice refer to juice from inbound links or links between internal pages on my site?

Thanks!

I believe he is referring to an actual site map html page, not an XML file to submit to Google.
