If the domain name is expired and the content has nothing related to what it was before, then the trust and authority of the site will go down. Its like GE buying out a grocery store chain and replacing everything in the store with GE products…
CLS issue: more than 0.25 (mobile) I am seeing webmaster report about this issue. But this issue does not really effect the usuability of the site. No buttons are being moved only other elements . How does this affect SEO or Index rank or this just a warning .
What is the simple algorithm for page rank?
Webp is supported on Webkit but only on newer versions. iOS and OS X. Firefox supports webp. Cloudflare and CloudFront offers support to automatically convert the image for you. Then it will look at the users header from their browser and serve the required image format. https://medium.com/nona-web/converting-images-to-webp-from-cdn-9433b56a3d52
Good quality images should always be linked so the user can get good details of the product. This will increase your SERP or what ever they call it today.
Hi John thanks for your very informative video can i ask you my website http://www.wilsonwatches.co.uk is on Wix platform and i keep getting told that my urls are ugly and i think what they mean is the collections is the url and on Wix you can't have a product url for each single product is there away round this please as this stops i belive this holds back using Google shopping to add each product, also as the site is on Wix the speed is not great when i check on think Google website speed checker it always scrores me around 2.5 to 2.6 seconds and then says poor speed does this effect my ranking also with my website i am selling Rolex watches and other high end brands and need good quality photography which then adds to weight to the page and then slows the website down also Wix JavaScript cannot be manual minify or any other files its a locked system could you have a look please at my website and tell me what would help my ranking on Google and to speed it up thanks in advance Peter
This is my first website and a very steep learning curve
To the gentleman’s question about no indexing product list pages or category list pages, if you no-index list pages, if those products that show up on those list pages are not listed anywhere else, those product pages will cease to exist in the SERPS. We tested these on a website with 800,000 pages and over 1 million SKUs and it in fact happened exactly that way. Even if you put a canonical to the first page from all subsequent pages, often times those product pages disappear from SERPS and again many or all of the products also become throttled.
What I would do if I were you, is try to make those subsequent pages as unique as possible using variables in the title tag meta-description and H1 tag so a user would see them as somewhatunique pages or at least additional product options. It can only help you dominate that search page with multiple listings.
You will never find a case where you have a category list page, that perhaps ranks forth on the first page and when you no index the subsequent pages, your original list page moves up to third or second. That does not happen. In effect, by no indexing those subsequent pages all you’re doing is limiting your visibility and perhaps eliminating products and product pages from the search engine results pages as well.
Surely, in regard to buying an expired domain with lots of backlinks – if they backlinks are not relative to your product and services it won't have that much impact? So just going and buying ten expired domains to point at your own site wouldn't work as well and shouldn't it be something an organisation might risk penalisation for trying to manipulate ranking this way?
Should I insert 1 keyword in 1 paragraph?
