Hello guys. Do you happen to know if there is a way to decide whether to noindex user comments or not? Either a specific plugin, a setting in the AIOSEO plugin, or WordPress ge

Hi Orazio
According to John Mueller, Google spokesman, nowadays they "take comments into account" when they index a page. He didn't talk about indexing or noindexing comments however. So it is not clear if Google actually indexes comments or not.

They do take the number of words into account in comments and take note of LSI words and phrases. LSI is Latent Semantic Indexing which in simple English means relevant keywords or phrases.

He indicates that the number of words in comments can improve ranking for very short posts if the total words increases to more than 600.

So the main value in comments is in any LSI words or phrases.

They indicate (they do not recommend) that comments that are not relevant to the topic of the post could be deleted.

There are ways to noindex pages and posts but I cannot find a way to automatically noindex comments without coding. So I have no experience of the return you are getting from Ubersuggest (I use it too occasionally).

If a page or post is set up as noindex then the comments are not crawled either.

So unless a post is very short and the word count in "bad" comments are needed to boost numbers, I do not know why I would keep such a comment.

I hope this is useful.

Thanks a lot for this precious information, Richard. All my main posts appear in Google rankings and are marked as indexed by Ubersuggest but the pages linking to each comment are not. Maybe I am overthinking this. Maybe Google considers the comments as part of the whole page and that's why WordPress automatically 'noindexes' the individual comment posts to avoid duplicate posts, which can be bad for SEO. I use the pro version of Ubersuggest because I think it's the closest thing to SEMRush without paying too much for a subscription.

How do you know your comments are not being indexed

I use a SEO audit tool called Ubersuggest (basically an economy version of SEM Rush) and it tells me which pages are 'noindexed' among other things.

Is it the whole page or just the comments

Just the comments and my reply to the comments. I actually like the fact that most comments are noindexed but I would like to index some high quality comments that can be good for search rankings.

I did not know it was possible to no index comments I thought if the page was indexed then the comments would be indexed I have looked in AIOSEO and there does not seem to be anything about no indexing comments

I did some research and it seems comments have to be in rendered HTML but I am unsure how to make that happen

Yeah me too. I was hoping for a plugin but I haven't found any.

I am trying to add a foreign language dictionary to my sidebar, using the "custom HTML" widget. I have found a great free Java dictionary offered by an open dictionary website

Hi, Horatius! This may help you too: Cheers!

Florentino

Thank you, megawinner.
Sadly adding the javascript as a custom link doesn't work. I already tried that.

Find another way Horatius! We must make it to our goal, that's the bottom line. Keep going. Wishing you the best WA journey!

Would custom javascript work if the code was entered in a text box?

I have tried to enter the code both in a text box and in a HTML box. None of them worked. I guess there's some special procedure to add javascript but I just don't know what it is.

It doesn't appear that you can - you can use it in pages or posts but not, or so it seems in the sidebar.
Could you make a separate page for the dictionary or is that too much of a pain for your visitors?

The dictionary is supposed to be a tool visitors can you use at any time while visiting other pages. As I wrote before, I have found a temporary solution by embedding another page (pic below) but that javascript dictionary is much much cooler and would be a great asset.

I googled "how to enter custom javascript into a wordpress sidebar" and found a site called wpmudev.org which might help you - it's a bit over my head to help any further - sorry dude.

You could ask the SiteSupport - go to Help Center > Site Support - they may be able to suggest something

Thank you very much.
I have already looked at some websites but no luck so far. I guess I'll find something sooner or later.

I wonder if you could have some sort of 'fetch' script in the custom HTML box that would link to your javascript dictionary that's on a separate page and return with the translated/defined word? Sort of like the search box on Dictionary dot com

That's a good suggestion. I'll try it, let's hope it works.

Is that something you could create Horatius?

I'll try to use a HTML software to build a simple page with just that javascript code in it. If it works I'll upload it on my website using FTP and embed it. Let's see what happens.

Hello fellow internet marketers

I would like to ask the more experienced ones how would they judge a website that, after two months being active, has most posts/pages ra

I'd say that's pretty good.

You are doing great! I have not had a page on the first page yet. Keep up the good work.

Google page 2, 3 and 4 after 2 months: good or bad?

Affiliate Disclosure? Sounds like he's making it part of his review instead of a link on the Widget Bar or at the bottom of the page. Now you've got me curious...

He's got both. An affiliate disclosure page in the footer and he mentions "All links on this page are affiliate programs, so I'll make some pocket money if you buy. (You get everything at the normal price though.)" on top of every page containing affiliate links.

I've read in a couple of places the past few months about Amazon being picky about the disclosure statement not being in the buyer's face. He may be just making an extra effort to CHA (cover his arse).

Maybe. I just joined Amazon Associates and added it at the end of the side bar. Do you think it's a good location?

I've seen it done both ways. If it's a lengthy, catch-all disclosure, it's best to just have a link from the sidebar. Most do it side-by-side with the privacy policy at the bottom of the page, which is what I do. Then, a friend of mine has a very brief blurb of the disclosure on his sidebar.
