Image via Wikipedia Okay so last year I ran a few posts featuring reader questions I’d received through the contact form. It was great because I’d post the question and then the readers would comment to help answer them. Here are a few I think worked out well last year: Answer A Reader Question: Promoting Local Events on Twitter Answer A Reader Question: Multiple Twitter Users In Business Answer A Reader Question: My Twitter Account Was Phished! Answer A Reader Question: Top Tips Answer A Reader Question: Twitter Bullies Answer A Reader Question: Twitter Etiquette? Since it seemed to be a pretty popular type of post (from both sides), AND because Twitter and social media relies heavily on helping people, I’d like to bring that back as a regular feature, so send in your questions ! © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips .

Bringing Reader Questions Back To TwiTip

Back in February, Google, Yahoo and then-Live premiered a solution to on-site duplicate content: a canonical URL element that let you designate which version official word was, of course, that the element is still just one signal.) Unfortunately, that element only worked within a single domain—if you had your content copied on another domain, no joy. Until now. Yesterday on the Webmaster blog, Google announced a new cross-domain canonical URL element . Now, if you have the same content on two domains, you can indicate to search engines which one is the preferred URL. The element uses the same syntax as the prior version, but now you can indicate the canonical URL is on a different domain: As part of the announcement, of course, they review other ways to handle cross-domain duplicate content, including 301 redirects. However, if you can’t use server-side redirects, the cross-domain canonical URL element can help search engines find the new content and possibly use that new URL in search results. In the questions sections of the post, they note that you can’t use the cross-domain canonical URL element to just redirect search engines to a new root site (it’s for 1:1 mapping of substantially similar pages), and that pages with redirected cross-domain elements should not use meta noindex.
