Best way to handle duplicate title on Home page?
-
Moz reports two links to the same Home page ad duplicate titles ...
http://myhjhome.com/index.php
http://myhjhome.comI'm not sure if I should just 301 redirect http://myhjhome.com/index.php to http://myhjhome.com, or if there is a better way to handle that?
Or should I comb the website and make sure all links to the Home page dont include index.php?
Just looking for some extra help here, learning as I'm going, thanks!!

i took the 301 route and will wait for the next crawl to see if it fixed the duplicate titles, thanks for the info!it's a wordpress
website that i inherited, hence the unfriendly URLs, which I'll be getting to.

It has a simple solution Just Redirect your .index page to the Homepage. It will resolve your Problem without any more Issue.
Thanks

Hi Joseph,
There are a few potential reasons for this. How have you built your website? Joomla? Wordpress?

Hey, no problem. The simple answer is to 301 re-direct your http://myhjhome.com/index.php to http://myhjhome.com. No need to comb your website, I've checked and there's no others
Also, I noticed that some of your URLs, especially your blog posts, aren't search engine friendly, so I would make them so. For example: http://myhjhome.com/blog/?p=16 (Grand Opening..) should, at least, include the title of the blog post as the URL.
Hope this helps & good luck
Tony

Best way to manage multiple (+100) analytics accounts as a marketing agency?
As marketing agency we have for each client an analytics account. This means that we have more than 100 analytics accounts. Because there is a limit of 100 analytics accounts (free version), we have created multiple accounts that own different analytics accounts of our clients. Is it possible to use [email protected] and add it to each of our multiple analytics accounts as manager or is there a limit too? In other words, how many accounts can you manage as 'manager'?

Tool to check page size for multiple url's at once
In Google Analytics under Site Speed > Page Timings, you can see all pages and their loading time compared to the average. This is very handy to check which pages maybe need some optimization. I would also like to check the size for these pages in a similar way. There are multiple tools out there like GTmetix and Pingdom that give specific information and performance insights. The problem is that they are limited to check one url at a time. Does someone know about a tool to check the page size of multiple url’s at once (and if possible to easily export to Excel)? That way I can check which pages are big in size and research/optimize them. Thanks in advance

Google Analytics Landing Page Report Discrepancy
I have noticed that when I run a landing page report and use the advanced option so I can view only the landing pages that include a particular string in the URL, have noticed that I in the report, the graph at the top will say one thing, but the data below says something else. For example, the graph for one particular search shows 200 Impressions, but the info below says 700 impressions and 610 clicks. Anyone seen anything similar or have any ideas why? Thanks! Craig

Can't seem to rank for keyword "home care grand rapids" - need some advice
I am trying to rank for "home care grand rapids" and am having a really difficult time.

Why such a high page rank with so low metrics in OSE
Hi,
Reporting & Analytics | | sebastiankoch
The website is:
www.s123parka123ble.com (remove the 123) All websites I have ever seen with similar metrics in OSE have normally a PR of 2 or 3 or max 4. This one is PR 5 and I would like to know why. I also noticed that they do not redirect the urls without www. to www. Which is normally bad ... can it be good for some reason in this case? It is PR 5 since a long time I just can´t get why it is PR 5. Please have a look. Thanks!0 -
