Moving Some Content From Page A to Page B
-
Page A has written content, pictures, videos.
The written content from Page A is being moved to Page B. When Google crawls the pages next time around will Page B receive the content credit? Will there not be any issues that this content originally belonged to Page A?
Page A is not a page I want to rank for (just have great pictures and videos for users). Can I 301 redirect from Page A to B since the written content from A has been deleted or no need? Again, I intent to keep Page A live because good value for users to see pictures and videos.

but as long as I have a lot of great pictures indexed by Google wouldn't it be a waste to noindex such pages, even though I do not care about ranking for those pages? In other words, if I have "noindex, follow" wouldn't that mean Google will not count all the pictures on such pages and that could ultimately hurt more important pages on my site? I want to move these pictures to other page where the pictures do not load before users scroll. I will share with my web developers what you mentioned above. If you can think what the javascript is please do keep me posted

If you don't really need to discover new pages, then it is better to use just "noindex".
-
You can solve the page speed issues using CDN for the images and using scripts that upload images only when needed, as saying when people is scrolling down and the image must appear (sorry I cannot remember the name of that Javascript right now :(( )
-
The bigger issue is I would like to add pictures to Page B (delete from Page A) but that would make Page B too heavy loading. So, I wanted to create it so pictures (if moved to Page B) only loads if users scroll down the page. However, in this way I cant get Google to index all those pictures. Or, is there a way to have pictures only load after users scroll, yet all pictures are indexed by Google?

Gianluca, thx. Question: Page A's written content is now on page B. Page A has lots of great pictures and I imagine Google seeing I have a lot of pages with pictures (just like Page A) it would make sense to keep indexed even though I do not expect any traffic from search. Since the written content is no longer on Page A, am I not guaranteed Page B will receive the SEO credit for the written content when Google crawls again? Or, are you implying I need to place a noindex on Page A in order to increase chance Page B gets the SEO credit since the content originally was placed o Page A (though it ia no longer there, so no duplicate content here).
-
Just add the following to the top of your video page, as Gianluca suggested. However I would make it NOINDEX, FOLLOW.
-
If Page A is there just for the users during navigation on-site, but you don't care of having it ranking and you fear to fall into duplicated content issues, then why don't you simply noindex it via meta robots?
-
You mention in your title "some content" and then on your text that you move a whole page. Are you moving the whole content? if so what is the point moving it to a new page and not optimising the old page around the additional content?
If you move "some content" 301 is not the best solution as you eliminate the original page with the other half content.
If you move page A to page B and page B has already its own content with Page A content being a nice complimentary addition to the whole then do what Whittie says and set a 301.Good luck!
-
If you have no longer need for Page A, as the content will now be on Page B then a 301 redirect will / should take across any 'link juice'.
Take a look at this; http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirectionIf you need Page A & B, is there a different URL you could use?

Customer Reviews on Product Page / Pagination / Crawl 3 review pages only
Hi experts, I present customer feedback, reviews basically, on my website for the products that are sold. And with this comes the ability to read reviews and obviously with pagination to display the available reviews. Now I want users to be able to flick through and read the reviews to help them satisfy whatever curiosity they have. My only thinking is that the page that contains the reviews, with each click of the pagination will present roughly the same content. The only thing that changes is the title tags which will contain the number in the H1 to display the page number. I'm thinking this could be duplication but i have yet to be notified by Google in my Search console... Should i block crawlers from crawling beyond page 3 of reviews? Thanks

Can Googlebot crawl the content on this page?
Hi all, I've read the posts in Google about Ajax and javascript (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/174992?hl=en) and also this post: http://moz.com/ugc/can-google-really-access-content-in-javascript-really. I am trying to evaluate if the content on this page, http://www.vwarcher.com/CustomerReviews, is crawlable by Googlebot? It appears not to be. I perused the sitemap and don't see any ugly Ajax URLs included as Google suggests doing. Also, the page is definitely indexed, but appears the content is only indexed via its original source (Yahoo!, Citysearch, Google+, etc.). I understand why they are using this dynamic content, because it looks nice to an end-user and requires little to no maintenance. But, is it providing them any SEO benefit? It appears to me that it would be far better to take these reviews and simply build them into HTML. Thoughts?

How to prevent duplicate content at a calendar page
Hi, I've a calender page which changes every day. The main url is
Technical SEO | | GeorgFranz
/calendar For every day, there is another url: /calendar/2012/09/12
/calendar/2012/09/13
/calendar/2012/09/14 So, if the 13th september arrives, the content of the page
/calendar/2012/09/13
will be shown at
/calendar So, it's duplicate content. What to do in this situation? a) Redirect from /calendar to /calendar/2012/09/13 with 301? (but the redirect changes the day after to /calendar/2012/09/14) b) Redirect from /calendar to /calendar/2012/09/13 with 302 (but I will loose the link juice of /calendar?) c) Add a canonical tag at /calendar (which leads to /calendar/2012/09/13) - but I will loose the power of /calendar (?) - and it will change every day... Any ideas or other suggestions? Best wishes, Georg.0 -
Redirecting Entire Microsite Content to Main Site Internal Pages?
I am currently working on improving site authority for a client site. The main site has significant authority, but I have learned that the company owns several other resource-focused microsites which are stagnant, but which have accrued significant page authority of their own (thought still less than the main site). Realizing the fault in housing good content on a microsite rather than the main site, my thought is that I can redirect the content of the microsites to internal pages on the main site as a "Resources" section. I am wondering a: if this is a good idea and b: the best way to transfer site authority from these microsites. I am also wondering how to organize the content and if, for example, an entire microsite domain (e.g. microsite.com) should in fact be redirected to internal resource pages (e.g. mainsite.com/resources). Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Duplicate Content
We have a main sales page and then we have a country specific sales page for about 250 countries. The country specific pages are identical to the main sales page, with the small addition of a country flag and the country name in the h1. I have added a rel canonical tag to all country pages to send the link juice and authority to the main page, because they would be all competing for rankings. I was wondering if having the 250+ indexed pages of duplicate content will effect the ranking of the main page even though they have rel canonical tag. We get some traffic to country pages, but not as much as the main page, but im worried that if we remove those pages and redirect all to main page that we will loose 250 plus indexed pages where we can get traffic through for odd country specific terms. eg searching for uk mobile phone brings up the country specific page instead of main sales page even though the uk sales pages is not optimized for uk terms other than having a flag and the country name in the h1. Any advice?
