No-index part of page
-
Hi All,
I want to copy articles from CNN/Bloomberg/etc and I want to show the content to my users in Lightbox (CSS), but the problem is duplicate content.
Do you have any idea how can I no-index part of page/content?
-
In that case you will have to install/use another type of light box - the two examples I menitioned offer the possibility to integrate iframes.

Hi Again,
I Don't have URL for the lightbox :|. -
Thanks all!

Hi John,
The answer of both Martijn and Brendan is correct - there is currently no way to tell Google not to index a part of a page.
If you want to present external content in a lightbox the best ways to do so would be to
- put a noindex on the page where you put the lightbox
- put a canonical url on your page - pointing to the original source.
A more elaborate way would be to create a separate page on your site that contains only the external content that you want to put in the lightbox and put this page as noindex. Then you call this page in an iframe in the lightbox. I am not an expert in lightboxes - apparently not all of them are capable to call an iframe - these ones do http://fancybox.net/, http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/ and probably a lot of others as well if you google it.
rgds,
Dirk

sorry, this is not my question...
there is way to say for google - don't index this lightbox?? -
You'll definitely need to add a link to the source anyway but even so, I'd carefully check the terms and conditions of the sites you mentioned to see whether they allow this.
If you're adding a timeline, I presume it won't be updated very often so I'd really urge you to create your own content rather than take it from another source. It sounds like a very risky strategy to me.

Hi there,
It will be timeline, I want to show for my users full content without getting punished. there is way? maybe Link to the source? -
We all would like a way for Google to ignore a certain part of page, but no there is no option for now to do it like that. Next to that I agree with Brendan on checking if there is any value at all to do this.

Hi John,
Can I ask why you would want to 'copy articles' from another source? What value will you be providing to your readers if the articles are available elsewhere, especially on really high authority sites like the ones you mention?
Surely a better way would be to provide content of genuine interest and value to your readers. Also, I presume that the sites you mention will also have copyrighted content on their site so it may not be a great long-term strategy for you.

Copy partial content to other pages ?
One of our clients looking to redesign their website since we're redesigning the whole website we thought it would be good idea to separate services into individual pages so every service will have it's own page (currently there is 1 page that describes all of the services). what we're planing to do is to write unique content for each service page (about 300-400 keywords), but we also want to use some of the existing content which is kind of explains the process of provided services. so here i need your help! what would be the best practice to use same part of existing content on every service page without getting penalized for duplicated content? here is how we want to structure the page with h1 and h2 <main> Service name (same as page title) Subline new and unique content about 300-400 keywords Part of old content which is going to be placed on every service page </main> any help would be much appreciated!

Does stock art photo attribution negatively impact SEO by leaking Google Page Rank?
Greetings: Companies such as Shutterstock often require that buyers place credit attribution on their web pages when photos you buy from them appear on these pages.. Shutterstock requests that credit attribution links such as these be added: Songquan Deng / Shutterstock.com Do these links negatively impact SEO? Or do search engines view them as a positive? Thanks,

Question #1: Does Google index https:// pages? I thought they didn't because....
generally the difference between https:// and http:// is that the s (stands for secure I think) is usually reserved for payment pages, and other similar types of pages that search engines aren't supposed to index. (like any page where private data is stored) My site that all of my questions are revolving around is built with Volusion (i'm used to wordpress) and I keep finding problems like this one. The site was hardcoded to have all MENU internal links (which was 90% of our internal links) lead to **https://**www.example.com/example-page/ instead of **http://**www.example.com/example-page/ To double check that this was causing a loss in Link Juice. I jumped over to OSE. Sure enough, the internal links were not being indexed, only the links that were manually created and set to NOT include the httpS:// were being indexed. So if OSE wasn't counting the links, and based on the general ideology behind secure http access, that would infer that no link juice is being passed... Right?? Thanks for your time. Screens are available if necessary, but the OSE has already been updated since then and the new internal links ARE STILL NOT being indexed. The problem is.. is this a volusion problem? Should I switch to Wordpress? here's the site URL (please excuse the design, it's pretty ugly considering how basic volusion is compared to wordpress) http://www.uncommonthread.com/

How much content is too much? Best Pages For Content?
To my understanding content has a lot to do with organic rankings if written correctly. My question is, how much content is too much and what pages are best to place content. Our company sells very costly products. Our customers call to purchase, we do not have an eCommerce site. Write now we have on average 350 words per page. We have about 200+ pages. Each page is written for that general category and each product has its own unique content. It seems to me that the pages with less content, tend to rank a bit better. As we are in the process of redoing our website, is there any recommendations on writing content, or adjusting the amount of text. I am thinking a lot of our text is informative only to a certain extent. Would writing content just for the main category page be better, and then on the actual product page, have only about 250 words as a description? Are there any other recommendations for SEO that are fairly new? Besides the Title, Description, Heading Tags, Image Alts, URLS etc.

Duplicate Content for index.html
In the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, it says that I have two pages with duplicate content which are: www.mywebsite.com/ www.mywebsite.com/index.html I read in a Dream Weaver tutorial that you should name your home page "index.html" and then you can let www.mywebsite.com automatically direct the user to index.html. Is this a bug in SEOMoz's crawler or is it a real problem with my site? Thank you, Dan
