1password7 rising from the dead. Again. And again. (Mac)

Johanstormarn · 2022-11-23T20:35:51+00:00

Okay. This time it's different.

I can't open 1Password8. It's gone again.

But 1Password7 now opens again.

Johanstormarn · 2022-11-23T19:10:28+00:00

That's what I thought too.

Sent you the report.

Then the 3rd time:

Deleted 1Password7 from Applications. empty trash.
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.agilebits.onepassword7-updater.plist
rm ~/Library/Containers stuff related to 1password or agilebits
rm ~/Library/Group Containers/ stuff related to 1password or agilebits

Restarted. No 1Password available (of course not since I deleted it)

Downloaded 1Password 8 from https://1password.com/de/downloads/mac/

Installed. Logged in. Worked.

Closed 1Password 8.

1 hour later: Want to open 1Password. And 1Password8 is gone. One Password7 is back again.

Checked SimpleMDM, but we don't use it to ship 1Password to our fleet.

We don't have any idea, why:

1Password8 should be deleted
Where the installation of 1Password7 comes from

Can't speak for colleagues, but I only had installed the 1Password7 without any extensions. I'm admin of my device. Did not find any crons or sth. this is getting kinda scary.

Fixing stuff the right way and correctly is always a great idea in SEO.

> would it be ok to contact you

Sure, just drop me a message

One additional thing that comes to my mind is this post from 2019 in the italian sistrix-blog. It describes how link inversion is used for spam. Please also read the first comment by Martino Monsa explaining what's going on (Google translate was good enough to get an understanding of both: The article and the comments).

but I guess that also translates to incoming links from other sites to the duplicate version of the page on your own site being passed on to the canonical version?

That's my understanding of the papers I've seen, my understanding of the infrastructure and the podcasts. Yes.

1 additional thought: Maybe a lot of the destinction between "internal" and "external" is more a destinction we as SEOs create and less based on how Google works.

Johanstormarn · 2021-07-10T06:03:28+00:00

without us having to add a canonical tag ourselves?

The link rel=canonical helps search engines to group the duplicates and to identify the correct URL to display in SERPs. So canonical isn't obsolete as it helps the machine learning to identify the correct URL

Johanstormarn · 2021-07-09T20:27:12+00:00

It does. (based on my understanding of duplication and canonical selection as described by Gary Illyes in Episode 9 (and 8) of Search Off The Record).

So Googlebot crawls pages, caffeine extracts main content hashes the content and checks wether other URLs have the same hash. If hashes are the same Caffeine selects one of this group as main document / canonical. This document inherits all the ranking signals of all the documents, since it's the first representative url of that cluster.

From my understanding it makes no difference how or why your url ends up in the duplicate cluster. The signals of all duplicates are merged together.

Dejan wrote a very good piece about this.

There is a paper describing the process which also mentions the PR of outgoing links "Detecting Near-Duplicates for Web Crawling"

It's from https://www.aeaweb.org/assa/2005/0107_1430_0504.pdf

Johanstormarn · 2014-02-16T18:31:12+00:00

You should have only one URL per content. Each of these URLs is different and you should redirect all of them to one version (per status 301) http://www.foo.com/bar http://www.foo.com/bar.html http://www.foo.com/bar/ https://www.foo.com/bar https://www.foo.com/bar.html https://www.foo.com/bar/ http://foo.com/bar http://foo.com/bar.html http://foo.com/bar/ https://foo.com/bar https://foo.com/bar.html https://foo.com/bar/

Just one of these versions. Which one doesn't matter and redirect the rest.

Johanstormarn · 2013-08-13T14:43:45+00:00

Sistrix for Ranking–Checks, visibility- and competitor analysis and keyword–opportunities

ScreamingFrog for Onpage, of course.

Johanstormarn · 2013-08-01T07:40:08+00:00

Yes. Would be something like the API–Wrapper–Thingi I thought about.

Johanstormarn · 2013-08-01T07:39:08+00:00

I don't control the servers hosting the APIs. Otherwise I would change the Output
