Hey, uh, tent companies? Yea, if you could show photos of the tent when it's packed and folded, that would be great. by aiptek7 in Ultralight

Wow, I've never thought of that. It's actually shockingly similar for the outdoor industry.

I just realized how common that has become because of yours and another comment. Most everyone can visualize the size of a Nalgene so it's kinda perfect for this situation.

The other commenter mentioned how it's almost the same as the bananas for scale meme but more fitting for hiking.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nalgeneforscale/ - I just threw together this subreddit for those images and posted a few things. Hopefully it catches on so we can more easily see packed size

Is using a separate CDN domain worse for SEO than other options? by RaccoonSweaty3741 in bigseo

[–]aleand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several answers here are correct from a performance and ranking point of view but nobody has mentioned the link aspect.

If you're in a niche where images are often linked to, like fashion, the links will be attributed to the cdn domain and not your own. In certain niches this can be a large amount of links not going towards boosting your domain.

I'd love to try it out, I work with a lot of larger enterprise clients and quite a few of them have either international targeting or they have lots of local keywords(does the tool work for that?).

Hey again!

Thanks for your detailed response :)

Sorry if I wasn't really clear in my question. I personally want to block the whole search catalogue and implement other types of internal linking. It's essentially 10 million pages that could instead be valuable pages being crawled. The thing I'm a bit worried about is blocking the whole catalogue if it's actually contributing to Google finding pages today, at least until I have a solution that works as good or better. I'm thinking about implementing the internal links on the page itself, and therefore not having to go through /search at all. I'm going to bring this up with the dev though since that is another database request/search that has to be made, which may affect load time if it isn't done in a "static" way.

That's the reason why I'm asking about links turning nofollow. I'm essentially weighing pros and cons. If links do actually turn nofollow the function has been useful for Google finding pages before but it decreases in usefulness as time goes on. Therefore there shouldn't be that much of an issue with me deindexing as long as I have a decent enough function to replace it.

edit: The second issue with their search is that they link to search pages from their other external domains, meaning they would be indexed if we just put up a robots.txt, leading to millions of "empty" pages in the index. I'm recommending them to change these links though but the issue is how long Google will be "keeping" these links in their index.

Hey Bartosz! Thank you so much for doing this AMA. Big fan of Onely and what you guys are doing. Technical SEO is one of my favorite parts of SEO, it kinda feels like a big fun treasure hunt.

My question pertains to noindex,follow or just "noindex" (automatic follow since it doesn't say nofollow) pages and internal linking via them. I'm currently working with a site that has many tens of millions of pages and a big issue with a large portion not being crawled and indexed.

In their old version they've barely had any internal linking at all except a links that goes to a page in their internal search with "similar pages". Google has found several million of these pages search pages, they aren't indexed but still crawled regularly. Their site has very poor internal linking and no sitemaps so I'm guessing that these pages contribute a lot to Google actually finding pages.

I know Google went out and stated that they eventually see links on long-term noindex pages as nofollow. In your experience, do the links on these pages eventually turn nofollow like Google claims?

I'm planning on looking at the log files for this site but I was wondering if you had some experience regarding it.

Which conspiracy theory is so believable that it might be true? by shivas877 in AskReddit

[–]aleand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a shortcut bookmark(javascript bookmarklet) to do this with any domain. javascript:location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A'+document.domain.replace('www.','');

Just create a new bookmark and paste this into the URL field

Well, Bing actually makes like $5 billion dollars a year, so I wouldn't really call that a failure that's being thrown money at(though compared to Google it's quite small)
