Hi, That is frustrating. 1. No you won't be able to contact anyone ( of any use anyway). 2. You can try this: https://www.facebook.com/help/168172433243582/?ref=u2u You'll need proof of address and ownership of course, and you should be able to merge the pages. This is an ongoing issue...

So true! I giggled at it! :) Thanks for the share.

Ewww....so are we "hated" as much? :)

WOW! This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing! This brings up another question ( forgive me if silly), in a few of my experiments I find that the +nameofuniqueURLhere is indexed alongside the /1234534556/about URL - yet they have the same destination page which is +nameofuniqueURLhere. So...

One thing to try is, is submit a sitemap of the OLD URL, with 301's in place to the appropriate new URLs. Tell Google in GWT you've moved. Give Google a bit to index the OLD site map, which will register the 301's. Upload NEW site map to reinforce the indexation of the URL's based on the...

And we love her for it! 1. Is there any correlation between the lost listings and the remaining ones? Same keywords within both Different versions of the same word? Plural versions? 2. Are you tracking the traffic? Is the traffic truly down? Or are you just assuming? 3. Organic listings up...

Hello all, Yes, it's pigeon poop at it's worse! One benefit to the niches I keep an eye on is that the organic listings are increasing substantially. Where previously, you would often not show up in both Local AND Organically - now, those I've been monitoring their organic is improved. While...
