Does SEO issue of duplicate content apply to iFrames?

Hello,

I am adding some wikipedia.org content to my website in iframes, as a convenience to the users of the site. Each iframe is in a separate page of its own.

I am wondering if google sees the iframes inside my site as duplicate content and this might count against my site's SE ranking.

If so, would it help if I specify that the duplicate content pages not be searched? How should I do it - in the robots.txt or better to do it via meta tags?

(I thought this question must've been asked before but couldn't find a duplicate. site:groups.drupal.org/seo iframes)

Drupal, Site Design, and SEO

Hi,

I'd like a "very cool-lookin' site" since it seems to be what the niche market I'll be getting into would demand -- but I've heard that SEO works on text and links and that graphics can compromise SEO. Is that true? In what ways? And how does the picture change, if at all, when Drupal enters the picture, especially with regards to a "quick hosted site" service such as Drupal Garden or Pagebuild?? I know this is a newbie question, so please forgive since I'm still finding my footing!

TIA

How well is Drupal calendar content recognized by search engines?

I have a client who's been using an ancient (by web standards) Perl-based calendar script program (called, dully enough, "CalendarScript", which hasn't been updated in years.

I've recently converted other parts of her site over to Drupal 6.x, and have been strongly recommending moving off of this old calendar script out of both security concerns and usability reasons. However, she's used it for many years and is reluctant to abandon it.

SEO consequences from transfering tld's to sub domains

We have a client that has multiple top level domains for the products they offer. These products are different full fledged softwares. They also have a domain for their actual company that makes these products. We are consolidating their sites so that all of them can be managed by one backend. One of our developers suggested to consolidate even more by moving their product tld's into sub domains of the company site.

So instead of this:
http://company.com
http://product1.com
http://product2.com
http://product3.com
http://product4.com

It would be this:
http://company.com

Brainstorming for Adobe (Omniture) Test&Target integration

I haven't seen any sign of an official Test&Target integration for Drupal. Having one would be very useful. Here are my initial thoughts on how it could work.

Here's the API and integration guide: http://www.scribd.com/doc/37593903/Test-and-Target-Integration-Guide-2010

  1. You can have MBoxes to replace whole pages. This is handy for testing different splash or landing pages. Drupal integration could offer you the chance to put 2 or more paths in and then render access to any of them as a test.

Page Title Module and Fusion Theme

I am currently having a problem with the page title module and a custom fusion sub-theme. I have installed the module and it seems to be working properly; except when I edit the page title field for an individual page, the page title doesn't show, I still get the default page title I setup in the page titles module settings. I have looked in the issue ques for the module and there is a patch, but when the patch is applied I am still not getting the results.

SEO and multilingual website with language per domain name

I would like some comments on basic questions

In a general way,
French being the default, if I have www.myFrench.com and www.myGerman.com, will I have to reference the two? Only the French one? In my point of view, I would like the 2 to be referenced.

If yes (meaning the two are possible)
I can’t see how to do that because it’s same website.
In Google, generally I choose option of putting a validation html file at root of website.
But if I have a second domain name for same website, I just must validate the same validation file and it will works?

Drupal 7 SEO Checklist

I would love to put together a Drupal 7.0 SEO checklist. Please feel free to add/edit.

All comments should be related to SEO in Drupal 7.0 and unless directly relevant should not contain Drupal 6.0 advice (although links to D6 are welcome).

<

ol>

  • The SEO Checklist module (available for both 6 and 7) has most of these included it in with automatic checks, datestamps, links to the download pages, and links to the config pages. Very, very helpful module. http://drupal.org/project/seo_checklist

    CDN's SEO and PageRank

    ·

    I have heard many experts state that the use of a CDN has no impact on SEO, but I am not convinced. Clearly speeding up a website WILL have a positive impact but my primary area of concern is with regard to PageRank.

    My understanding of pagerank is that it is calculated on a per domain basis and that each sub-domain is considered a separate domain.
