What is the best format for animated content
-
We want to use some movement in our designs, charts etc. what format is the most SEO friendly?

Hi Remko,
Apologies for the slow response here - the alert system that lets us know a question has gone unanswered broke down for a time.
The short answer: the ideal is to render the content/information as raw HTML, then use a JS library (whatever suits the animation or chart style you're after) to visualize and add animations.
Animations handled with jQuery, for example, won't be processed/"viewed" by Google, so if you're using such a library to add polish to your content, it's best that the page "degrades gracefully" - so that without JS support, the key content/information is still there in the HTML source.
While Google has made strides in their ability to render and index content delivered via JS resources, it is computationally expensive and we have seen that relying too heavily on JS to render the content itself is sub-optimal.
If you're following the above, any modern and widely-adopted JS animation/chart-building library should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Duplicate content
Hello mozzers, I have an unusual question. I've created a page that I am fully aware that it is near 100% duplicate content. It quotes the law, so it's not changeable. The page is very linkable in my niche. Is there a way I can build quality links to it that benefit my overall websites DA (i'm not bothered about the linkable page being ranked) without risking panda/dupe content issues? Thanks, Peter

Migrate Old Archive Content?
Hi, Our team has recently acquired several newsletter titles from a competitor. We are currently deciding how to handle the archive content on their website which now belongs to us. We are thinking of leaving the content on their site (so as not to suddenly remove a chunk of their website and harm them) but also replicating it on ours with a canoncial link to say our website is the original source. The articles on their site go back as far as 2010. Do you think it would help or hinder our site to have a lot of old archive content added to it? I'm thinking of content freshness issues.Even though the content is old some of it will still be interesting or relevant. Or do you think the authority and extra traffic this content could bring in makes it worth migrating. Any help gratefully received on the old content issue or the idea of using canonical links in this way. Many Thanks

Deindexed site - is it best to start over?
A potential client's website has been deindexed from Google. We'd be completely redesigning his site with all new content. Would it be best to purchase a new url and redirect the old deindexed site to the new one, or try stick with the old domain?

Magento Multistore and Duplicate Content
Hey all, I am currently optimizing a Magento Multistore running with two store views (one per language). Now when I switch from one language to another the urls shows: mydomain.de/.../examplepage.html?___store=german&___from_store=english The same page can also be reached by just entering mydomain.de/.../examplepage.html The question is: Does Google consider this as Duplicate Content or it it nothing to worry about? Or should I just do a dynamic 301 redirect from the 1st version to the 2nd? I read about some hacks posted in diferent magento forums but as I am working for a customer I want to avoid hacks. Also setting "Add Store Code to Urls" didn't help.
