I am convinced I have an internal PR problem, thoughts please?
-
I have lost all internal PR on my site when using the browser toolbar, only my homepage has PR now, the rest are unranked. It has been like this for a few months now.
Can anyone confirm this for me please? The site is yourcityoffice.com
If you have any other interesting ways to check PR that do not involve a toolbar or tool bar equivalent. Please let me know.

We were hit by Panda and Penguin and got an unnatural link penalty way back in 2012, Staff at Google confirmed there was no issue, however I have confirmation that we have STILL not recovered from a penguin refresh yet! Even after all this time. However as of yesterday my pagerank is back on all my sub pages!
Maybe this is the first sign of an actual recovery. Even though the pagrank back in the day was a steady 6 with the odd occasion of a 7.

Hey Gary,
Is your traffic OK? Have you been banned?
If neither of those things are issues I wouldn't worry about toolbar PageRank.

Definitely http not https
Ok this gets more strange, I just check on my cell phone as well with wifi switched off and I still get n/a for pagerank on 5 different sites.
PA and DA show up correctly.
What the hell is going on? My business partner in the UK is experiencing the same issues as well as others I have spoken too.
I really need to get to the bottom of this issue, but I am at a total loss right now.

Just in case, you are not trying to look up the PR for the HTTPS version of it. Are you?
https://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php
You cannot check Google PR for HTTPS pages by the way on many websites.
-
Gary, for the page, http://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php
the PR is 3. Checked with different tools and they all show the same. Very strange.
-
How bizarre... have you tried using OSE or AHREFS to see if that displays any PA & DA? Have you tried using PR checker? http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

Just installed search status on firefox on another computer and have the same issue! That computer has never ever loaded up my website and is on a totally different operating system etc...
WTF? LOL
-
Same with PaRameter Pagerank 0, I cant understand what is going on.
The homepage says PR5 so I know its not the tools
-
Strange... have you tried using a different computer? Clearing browser cache, cookies etc. (not sure if that has anything to do with it)
-
I just used installed Status Seo Chrome tool bar and it says PR 0 for the same page? i just dont understand it?
-
Agree with Manny. Your site is absolutely fine Gary. I use the Search Status plugin on Firefox. You can also use PaRameter to check the Google PR for bulk URLs. Here you go: http://www.cleverstat.com/en/page-rank-software.htm
By the way, PaRameter is free
Best,

PR5 for home page and PR3 for http://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php using PageRank Status Seo Chrome tool bar.
I use the MOZ bar for PA DA
-
What PR did the page say? Also what tool do you use to see the PA & DA?
-
Hi Gary, i had a look at your site seems fine to me.
When i checked http://www.yourcityoffice.com/serviced-office-united-kingdom.php i get a PA27 and DA46
I get 55 and 46 on your home page.Maybe try reinstalling the tool bar? I find the one in Firefox works best, Chrome is slow to load at time.
Ciao,
Manny.

Internal link is creating duplicate content issues and generating 404s from website crawl.
Not sure what the best way to describe it but the site is built with Elementor page builder. We are finding out that a feature that is included with a pop modal window renders an HTML code as so: Click So when crawled I think the crawling is linking itself for some reason so the crawl returns something like this: xyz.com/builder/listing/ - what we want what we don't want xyz.com/builder/listing/ xyz.com/builder/listing/%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9/ xyz.com/builder/listing/%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9//%23elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Ijc2MCIsInRvZ2dsZSI6ZmFsc2V9/ so you'll notice how that string in the HREF is appended each time and it loops a couple times. Could I 301 this issue, what's the best way to go about handling something like this? It's causing duplicate meta descriptions/content errors for some listing pages we have. I did add a rel='nofollow' to the anchor tag with JavaScript but not sure if that'll help.

How big of a problem is this? - link cannonicalization I think?
Hello! I'm new here. My moz Pro account is flagging my website for having 282 duplicate pages, which it is saying are critical issues. I looked at this and it seems like the problem is that many of my pages are being indexed like: www.joeborders.com and joeborders.com and oeborders.com/index. I think this is an issue with link cannonicalization...right? I contacted my website builder/host a while ago and they said they don't have a way to to link cannonicalization....is this a huge problem?...Is there some way to do it that I'm missing? Should i get a new website builder/host? 😛 for reference, this is what my builder/host said when I asked them about it: "Good question, at the moment we don't offer it, I will add it to our feature request list, as I think it would be a good idea. In a traditional hosting environment this would be using a htaccess file, since we are in ruby on rails environment we would need come up with a custom solution."

Optimizing internal links or over-optimizing?
For a while I hated the look of the internal links page of Google Web Master Tools account for a certain site. With a total of 120+K pages, the top internal link was the one pointing to "FAQ". With around 1M links. That was due to the fact, on every single page, both the header and the footer where presenting 5 links to the most popular questions. The traffic of those FAQ pages is non-existent, the anchor text is not SEO interesting, and theoretically 1M useless internal links is detrimental for page juice flow. So I removed them. Replacing the anchor with javascript to keep the functionality. I actually left only 1 “pure” link to the FAQ page in the footer (site wide). And overnight, the internal links page of that GWT account disappeared. Blank, no links. Now... Mhhh... I feel like... Ops! Yes I am getting paranoid at the idea the sudden disappearance of 1M internal links was not appreciated by google bot. Anyone had similar experience? Could this be seen by google bot as over-optimizing and be penalized? Did I possibly triggered a manual review of the website removing 1M internal links? I remember Matt Cutts saying adding or removing 1M pages (pages) would trigger a flag at google spam team and lead to a manual review, but 1M internal links? Any idea?

How best to fix 301 redirect problems
Hi all Wondering if anyone could help out with this one. Roger Bot crawler has just performed it's weekly error crawl on my site and I appear to have 18,613 temp redirect problems!! Rather, the same 1 problem 18,613 times. My site is a magento store and the errors it is giving me is due to the wishlist feature on the site. For example, it is trying to crawl links such as index.php/wishlist/index/add/product/29416/form_key/DBDSNAJOfP2YGgfW (which would normally add the item to one's wishlist). However, because Roger isn't logged into the website it means that all these requests are being sent to the login url with the page title of Please Enable Cookies. Would the best way to fix this be to enable wishlists for guests? I would rather not do that but cannot think of another way of fixing it. Any other Magento people come across this issue? Thanks, Carl

.htaccess problem using POST method
Hi guys I'm after some help with trying to achieve the following: 1. Canonicalise to http://www. 2. Remove the index.php from root and subfolders. I have the .htaccess code below, which seemed to work fine, but the urls use the POST method and this isn't working with the rewrites. Can anyone please advise as to what I am doing wrong? As you can probably guess .htaccess isn't my strongest SEO discipline! The code I have is: http:// to http://www. RewriteEngine on
