Google Street View -- Detroit, MI
May 23, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Google Street View is an amazing search site, and I can't tell you how I've enjoyed it.  However, despite so much of the nation being photographed in this manner, most of the City of Detroit and eastern suburbs seems to have been overlooked.....alas, no purple outlines on the streets.

Any idea when Google might continue 'mapping' the street views of the City of Detroit?

About subdirectories and duplicate content
May 23, 2009 at 6:00 pm

Hi everyone,
I am relatively new to SEO and I have a few questions.

1. Let us say I have a website with a primary domain asd.com and subdirectories asd.com/uk and asd.com/us
Now when a person visits asd.com it takes the person to the page where it shows "choose location" UK or US
Clicking on UK takes the person to main page for UK which is asd.com/uk  and every link clicked from there will take him to asd.com/uk/......(whatever page he wants to visit) The same for a person opting for the US page.
Now the issue is even though the page is targeting US and UK there is a lot of duplicate content for both pages like for example company details, product details etc. and everything is shown under either asd.com/uk or asd.com/us
What I mean is the primary domain asd.com stops serving its purpose as soon as the person chooses the location and from then on it is either asd.com/us or asd.com/uk
Let me make it more clear: If a person visits the "about us" page for the company details it will take him to either asd.com/uk/aboutus Or asd.com/us/aboutus There is no page like asd.com/aboutus . It is either asd.com/uk/whateverpages asd.com/us/whateverpages
Only in the case of certain products there is a marked difference in the product brands but otherwise the product categories are same.
So this means except for one or two product brands all other pages such as description of product categories, company details etc are the same. This means that asd.com/uk and asd.com/us has pages with almost same content and similar Title meta tags.
I would like to know:
1. Whether Google will treat this as duplicate content and thus have a negative effect on the SEO or since it is asd.com/uk and asd.com/us will this be treated as different and not penalized?
2. If in case it is treated as duplicate, will it be good to mention in the title metatag as UK or US depending on the pages, along with the keywords  so that the search engine understands as one is for UK and the other is for US and thus treats it as not duplicate content?
3.Are asd.com/uk and asd.com/us subdirectories or are they just an extension of the primary domain and thus not different from each other?
4.How do one check whether they are subdirectories or not?
5. If I break them into subdomains (uk.asd.com OR us.asd.com)  will it be better and make any difference and treated as separate contents as the UK and US pages will have different IP addresses? If so will the already established PR for these pages go down and will have to start all over again?
I know this is a long question but I thought of treating this as a case study as I had come across such websites and was wondering about the SEO aspect and thought of getting your ideas.

My Site's URL's Are Changing, How Do I Change Them and Not be Penalized
May 23, 2009 at 5:25 pm

I have a very large site and it's become necessary to upgrade my site to a new version of the Joomla CMS.

I currently have about 40,000 URL's in the Google Search index.

I am going to have to change the name of all my pages with the exception of my home page due to my old SEF URL software isn't compatible with my new version of Joomla.

What I would like to know is how I need to handle this change in terms of not losing my Google Search placements.

For example

I have a page now called
thespread.com/mlb-scores.html

I need to change that to
thespread.com/mlb-scores

How do I tell Google about these changes? Will this simply be solved by submitting a new sitemap with all the new URL's or does something also need to be done to reference the old URL's.

Any help would be appreciated.

Malware warning on site - no option to reverify
May 23, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Hiya,

When I browse to www.jonathandalton.co.uk I get the malware warning. I've wiped the site and reuploaded it from my original files and have requested a password change from the host but I don't have an option in webmaster tools to request a review to remove the malware warning - it doesn't warn about malware as it has done before. The site is verified.

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.jonathandalton.co.uk also says the site is currently clean but reports that there was malware there the last time google visited (so surely that means it's not clean??).

Any ideas?

Also, the webmaster tool says my sitemap URL timeout: HTTP request timeout

Which site should I post to the Webmaster Dashboard
May 23, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Hi,
I set up a website at sites.google.com/site/abcc1web/  and redirected the URL to www.abcc.org.ar according to the instructions on Google Sites Help.
Which site should I add to the Dashboard?
1. Only the sites.google.com site?
2. Only the www.abcc.org.ar site?
3. Or both sites?
If the answer is both sites, I presume I should verify and submit a Sitemap for both sites?
I do not want to run into trouble with duplicate sites.
Many thanks!

Our website has been replaced with backup and still reporting as infected

We have subsequently cleaned it by finding out the attack date, and using a backup of the entire site from 10 days prior to attack.  We've also manually checked and there is not files that appear to be infected.  This includes checking it with PHP checked on unmaskparasites website/  However, the Google review says we are still infected, but does not give any additional detail about what files/directories are infected.

We are a small nonprofit in the midst of a fundraiser and this has decimated our campaign.  Can you please please provide any additional detail to help us get to the bottom of this? This is doing irreperable damage to our small arts organization.

Duplicate content and indexing
May 23, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Hey guys, its over a month now and my website is still not indexed, I think this might be due to duplicate content. I have a few diferent ways of getting to the content of a page for example my psp release dates page, you can view it through all three urls below:

1. http://www.out-soon.com/sony-psp-release-dates/page18.html
2. http://www.out-soon.com/page18.html
3. http://www.out-soon.com/page.php?18

I am using e107 cms and a plugin called furl which rewrites urls to somthing more meaningful, this is why it is happening.
If i use <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.out-soon.com/sony-psp-release-dates/page18.html" /> in the head section of my pages would this sort my duplicate content problem, and help me get indexed by google?

thanks!

Removal requests still denied after fixing redirects
May 23, 2009 at 12:02 pm

I posted a few days ago about Google denying requests to remove my sites with alternate TLDs from search results. Before, my redirects were not done properly, and now my alternate domain names (e.g, danacomputing,biz) have 301 redirects to the main site (danacomputing,com). Once I confirmed the redirects were working properly, I submitted new requests in Webmaster tools to remove the alternate site names. However, the requests were all denied and it looks like the 'learn more' text is saying it's because robots.txt doesn't block the entire site.

There's only one robots.txt file for danacomputing,com and the alternate site names don't have one of their own. And I haven't found any way to block alternate urls in the robots.txt file. For example, you can't do something like  Disallow: *.biz/

Can someone tell me what to do here?  Thanks for your time!

Robots.txt unreachable site not getting indexed
May 23, 2009 at 11:33 am

It has been over two weeks and I have been trying to get my site http://torrenttraffic.com indexed, however webmaster tools reports that the URL is unreachable because they can't reach robots.txt. I thought the problem was because I didn't have a robots.txt file present in the root of my site, so I went ahead and uploaded one. However, this still hasn't fixed the issue.

I'm not exactly what the problem could be. When I first put the site up, my host was down for 3 days, could that have anything to do with it?

This has NEVER been a problem before with any of my other sites, they usually get indexed within a day or two. It's been over two weeks now. There are a decent amount of links that point towards torrenttraffic.com too.

I've configured my application to use 4 subdomains for static assets, which actually point to the same IP/site. assets0.example.org, assets1... etc. Google started to showing assets subdomains in results so I had to do 301 redirect pointing assetsX.example.org to www.example.org. Unfortunately I can't just block application on this domains now cause they're already in index, so users can enter site from them...

I think that google is still crawling assets subdomains cause site: query shows more and more results. How to prevent google from crawling these subdomains and get rid off them in the index?

Question from Piotr Sarnacki in Webmaster - Crawling, indexing & ranking
