@johnmu.com If a series of sister brands/websites wants to let their users know that they are related and owned by a lager company and create a partner page to link between each other, will this run the risk of being spammy under Google's eyes?

@johnmu.com Happy new year! I have another SEO question. If a site is on a dynamic rendered setup, with CSR version for users and a SSR for bots. For 'not found' pages, will it pose an issue if we are serving a 200 status for the CSR version vs. a 404 status for the SSR version?

@johnmu.com if a non-percent encoded URL has a canonical tag pointing to it's percent encoded corresponding URL, will that pose an issue with Google?

@johnmu.com Hope all is well. Quick internal link question. Is this setup ideal for Google for a site that has millions of pages? I couldn't find much documentation around it jsaction.

@johnmu.com during a site migration, if the final redirect URL for a user contains a parameter that allows us displays special messaging like a modal that tells them they are being redirected. At the same time we are serving redirects to bots to non-parameter versions. Will this cause issues?

@johnmu.com Will this markup work for products in a unauthenticated view in where the price is not available to users and they will need to login (authenticate) to view the pricing information on their end? Let me know your thoughts. web.archive.org/web/20240601...

@johnmu.com If a promotional banner is above the main navigation consistently across the website will Googlebot see it as part of the MainNav or will be able to differentiate it as not part of the MainNav? For example, Bose's website has this banner that follows you around:

@johnmu.com I saw this canonical setup the other day. Is it still valid for Googlebots? , which I think it basically means that there is no canonical tag for the page.

@johnmu.com Does Google favor the meta robots tag over the robots.txt tag in certain conditions? The reason I'm asking is because I'm noticing pages being crawled that contain a 'noindex' directive, despite having a disallow directive in the robots.txt.

@johnmu.com when blocking specific URLs via robots.txt that contain text strings like ?q=:

Will it make sense to display the directive in a percent encoded format? For example, in this case, it would be encoded as the following in the robots.txt file: %3Fq%3D%3A

@johnmu.com I've submitted a XML sitemap file with multiple sitemaps via GSC. Google was able to read the XML file but couldn't fetch the multiple sitemap files. I've read in several forums that this is may be a bug or Google's way of saying that it hasn't crawled it yet. Any thoughts?

@johnmu.com I'm currently working with a ecommerce website's product schema but the challenge I'm facing is that their products pricing is only available once users are able to log in to their account or get that info upon request. Is there a way to provide valid product schema in this scenario?
