Best Practice For Canonical URLS

Hi everyone,

I haven't used reddit much for anything besides lurking and memes, so its time to try it for crowdsourcing information.

I'm looking to implement a rule set for a very large catalog of products, where the products themselves can fall into many categories and have a large number of URLS.

We are a reseller of these products for major national brands and have recently built out a large Magento store.

Our taxonomical structure is similar to:

Domain/Parent-Category/Sub-Category/Item-Category/Feature-Category/URL-Key

A product might be in the following categories:

Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-1/Feature-1
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-1/Feature-2
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-1/
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/
Domain/Parent-1/
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-2/Feature-1
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-2/Feature-2
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/Item-2/
Domain/Parent-1/Sub-1/
Domain/Parent-1/

Generally our URL keys are long chain and descriptive and follow a similar format:

{Manufacturer} {Part Number} {Item Category} Dimension 1 x Dimension 2 x Variable 1 x Variable 2

I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are here? Should we use a category chain to get keyword value from it, or just drop all of the categories and go with Domain/URL Key, or use the brand landing page, Domain/Brand/Url Key.

Thanks for the conversation!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
