          Hi all,

          I read the article from 2014 on MOZ regarding ipv6.
          https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/ipv6-cblocks-and-seo

          Our technical department is about to change our server from ipv4 to ipv6.
          Are there any things we have to consider regarding SEO / rankings / duplicate content etc.. with this transition?

          I hope you have a little spare time to answer this question.

          Regards,
          Tom

            As long as all of the URLs stay the same and you aren't building a blog network (a bunch of sites that interlink), I don't think you'd see much of an SEO difference.

            I haven't seen anyone complain about that particular issue which is a good sign. If/when you follow through, please comment back and let everyone know your experience!

              Hi Oleg,

              Thanks for your reply.

              I am also curious about our customers who are currently hosting their website on our servers.
              We are their online marketing agency.

              We want them to get more converting visitors.
              Therefore we develop optimized websites and make sure the websites are hosted on a fast and reliable servers.
              However, if this server is upgraded from IPv:4 to IPv:6, will there be any things we have to consider with this transition regarding SEO?

              And with SEO, I mean, possible positiondrop of keywords and visitors.
              Is there any chance search engines will have to 'reindex the websites' because of the IP transition?

              And are there any possible technical setbacks, that can make the rating of the server worse (GTMetrix, Google Lighthouse, etc)

              I hope any of you can clearify a bit more on this and if this is anything to keep in mind.
              If you need more information please let me know.

              Regards,
              Tom

                I think this is more important for hosts and people with multiple websites (for interlinking)... Tom talks about c-blocks in ipv4 addresses which deals with seo hosting and how that changes in ipv6 (gets more vague). As usual, don't be hosted on the same server as a bunch of spam sites.

                If you have just the one site, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

                  Why is pagination SEO such a mystery in 2021?

                  Hi folks. I would like to discuss pagination. I use WordPress (Genesis, specifically). I ran my site through a site scan and it flagged an error which told me that my blog was producing duplicate meta descriptions because the  blog is paginated - the same meta description from the blog page is being used on Page 2, Page 3 etc. I looked into this and the Internet is awash with many other people scratching around for a solution. My understanding is that using a canonical link on the first page is not a good idea, because it says to Google that only Page 1 of the blog is important. I also read an article that states Google no longer reads the Rel=Prev/Next code that could be used to tell Google to ignore the issue. So, what's the solution? Do I even need one? As a side-thought, it seems to me that pagination is, well, pretty useless. I mean, if my blog has 20 pages and I've worked hard to create content, who is going to click through to anywhere near page 20? Nobody. There has to be a smarter way for people on-site to access content. I would love your thoughts on all of this. Cheers.

                  Merging Pages and SEO

                  Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
                  e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
                  Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
                  e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
                  What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
                  Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

                  Does having a ? on the end of your URL affect your SEO?

                  I have some redirects that were done with at "?" at the end of the URL to include google coding (i.e. you click on an adwords link and the google coding follows the redirected link). When there is not coding to follow the link just appears as "filename.html?". Will that affect us negatively SEO-wise? Thank you.

                  Do widgets and gadgets affect SEO?

                  I have added a number of widgets and gadgets to my site that I suspect act like Iframes. If true do these widgets and gadgets and the content that they are linked to help or hurt my site from an SEO perspective? Examples are facebook gadget, wordpress blidget, weather gadget, google maps widget.

                  Does capitalization matter for SEO?

                  Two places capitalization comes into play: (1) on-page use (title, h1, body text, img alt text, etc) (2) external anchor text I didn't think it mattered from Google's point of view for on-page usage (is this correct?) but I notice that OpenSiteExplorer' s 'anchor text distribution' tab shows different counts for the same keyword if it's capitalized in different ways (eg seomoz.org is listed separate from SEOmoz.org). Is that just OSE or does Google treat the keyword/phrase different based on its capitalization, too? And if so, then should I be creating external links to my site with the 'regular' and 'Capitalized' versions of my key phrases?
