Anyone using Adobe Business Catalyst and Fixing SEO URL Blog Updates?
-
Does anyone else have experience with the current update Adobe Business Catalyst has announced for their blog features?
Florin at BC offered the code below:

However nether myself nor another commentator can figure out how to make it work:
I added the meta data to my template but it seems the tags are not correct. For example, the tag {tag_blogpostmetatitle} does not automatically include the SEO title that I've called out in my individual blog post. So, it appears the browser is ignoring the tag and just including it as is. When I view the source for my live blog article, this is what I get for the lines that I've added the code in the tag:
Also, I cannot get schema metadata to work on the BC blog. For example, I have used it on this page: http://www.homedestination.com/_blog/Real_Estate_Blog/post/things_to_know_before_building_a_new_home/; which yields the following in Google's Rich Snippet Tool:
Extracted structured data rdfa-node property: title: {tag_blogpostmetatitle} description:__{tag_blogpostmetadescription}

Scott,
I am wondering how your ABC + WP results came in. Would you have an update on you're experience?
-
Thanks so much for the fast response - and thorough, as well!
Unfortunately, my prospective client has been using ABC for a year, and has dozens of blog posts, so it sounds like I'll have some fun to work through!
I don't have an opinion yet on using ABC + WP, but I will shortly! Feel free to reach out any time to share experiences or questions (I follow this post, so I'll see it!) Thanks again!

Hi Scott,
It has taken nearly three months for many blog posts to re-index. I find Adobe Business Catalyst is working on ironing out the wrinkles in their blog updates and are certainly at a better end already. If you start now, you should miss all the URL redirects that have been required to update all blog posts with their structured improvements. I think they are getting closer to being a real competitor to a WordPress blog.
Also, I have had to follow Google Analytics very close to handle problems with Duplicate meta descriptions.
For example, many read like this:
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-up/
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-uphttp://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin_cities_traditional_home_sales_upThat said. do you think it is better to use Adobe Business Catalyst for the main site and combine it with a WordPress blog?

Hey, jessential - it looks like this post has had numerous views, but no responses. Were you able to figure out anything? I have a potential client who uses ABC, and I'm trying to figure out what kinds of issues I may run into. Thanks in advance!

I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks
Can you help with how to fix this 404 error please?

URL Parameters
On our webshop we've added some URL-parameters. We've set URL's like min_price, filter_cat, filter_color etc. on "don't Crawl" in our Google Search console. We see that some parameters have 100.000+ URL's and some have 10.000+ Is it better to add these parameters in the robots.txt file? And if that's better, how can we write it down so the URL's will not be crawled. Our robotos.txt files shows now: # Added by SEO Ultimate's Link Mask Generator module User-agent: * Disallow: /go/ # End Link Mask Generator output User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/

SEO for Parallax Website
Hi, Are there any implications of having a parallax website and the URL not changing as you scroll down the page? So basically the whole site is under the same URL? However, when you click on the menu the URL does change? Cheers

Which URL would you choose?
1 – www.company.com/subfolder/subfolder/keyword-keyword-product (I’m able to keyword match with this url) or 2. www.company.com/subfolder/subfolder/product (no url keyword match) What would you choose? A url which is "short" but still relevant, or, a url which is more descriptive allowing “keyword” match? Be great to get your feedback guys. Many thanks Gary

Blog.furnacefilterscanada.com/ or furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/
My shopping cart does not allow to instal a WordPress blog on a sub-domain like: furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/ But I can host my blog on another server with a sub-domain like: blog.furnacefilterscanada.com In a SEO point of view is there a difference between the 2? Link juice? Page authority? Thank you, BigBlaze

Does anyone use Ning (Custom social site)?
We just got a custom Ning site developed and the second we moved it to our domain, we lost almost all of our rankings in Google. So, we sign up for a SEOMoz Pro account and within a week we see that we have over 6,000 errors and warnings on our site. Duplicate content, duplicate page titles and pages with too many links. Is anyone using Ning and successfully maintaining 1st page rankings in Google? Seems to me that we need hundreds of fixes and modifications in the code of our site to fix all of these errors and get Google to take our penalizations off.

Our homepage currently uses a Meta refresh. Is it worth $1,000 to get it fixed?
Look at http://www.ccisolutions.com After the meta refresh takes place the homepage URL looks like this: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/IAFDispatcher?iafAction=showMain I am trying to convince management that it is worth spending $1,000 with our current provider to get it fixed. It is my understanding that this meta refresh could be preventing the value of our homepage from being passed down to our category pages, etc. Can anyone give me something concrete that I can use to convince management that the fix is worth $1,000? Or is it not worth fixing?
