I've seen questions similar to this but there is no solid answer to them, so I asked again. I have an Umbraco website. Root document of the website uses a master page template with a placeholder that any page renders within it.
I've used the umbracoInternalRedirectId field to internally redirects the master page to the homepage.
This method works fine for the website but I think it is a bad idea due to SEO rules because in "Fetch as Google" of Google webmaster, I can see "Redirection" alert and in detail, it shows me that the document moved permanently.
Is there any solution apart from changing the structure?
Edited:
My structure:
Root
Home
About us
Contact Us
etc.
You can build up your Umbraco website with the root node being the actual frontpage. That means you won't need to do any redirects using umbracoInternalRedirectId.
The ContentFinder in Umbraco will by default show the first root node.
This is how I usually build my Umbraco sites:
-- ROOT --
Homepage
About us
Gallery
Etc.
Other language "homepage"
Does that make sense?

Recently I had a problem where a client of mine sent out an email with MailChimp containing UTM (Google) and MC (Mailchimp) parameters in the URL.
Since the link was pointing to a Magento 2 site with Varnish running, I had to come up with a fix for that, otherwise Varnish would create a lot of different entries for the "unique" URL's.
Now, by using this adjusted snippet in the Varnish .vcl, I was able to strip these parameters:
if (req.url ~ "(\?|&)(gclid|cx|ie|cof|siteurl|zanpid|origin|mc_[a-z]+|utm_[a-z]+)=") {
set req.url = regsuball(req.url, "(gclid|cx|ie|cof|siteurl|zanpid|origin|mc_[a-z]+|utm_[a-z]+)=[-_A-z0-9+()%.]+&?", "");
set req.url = regsub(req.url, "[?|&]+$", "");
}
And this works pretty good, it strips the URL.
BUT, I can't seem to find a correct explanation if this in any way will affect SEO, or Analytics tracking - I tried Googling it as much as I could, but cannot find a clear explanation.
Anyone here with a solution and / or explanation?
This will not affect SEO in any way. Those links are typically added by Google itself (Analytics, Adwords) or email marketing campaigns which use the same. The search engines will not see those links so there's no impact on SEO whatsoever.
The parameters mentioned are used by Javascript libraries and never by the PHP scripts, so what you did for better cacheability is correct. Browser's Javascript engines will still see them because they have access to full URL. The PHP backend (Magento) does not need them.

We currently have a big user guide that can be either a raw chm file or just hosted in a webpage. We are wanting to get to the point that Google indexes all the items inside help guide so someone can just google it and it would come up.
Has anyone tried this type of mass SEO of their user guide/help guide? Any tips?
A long time ago I put some stuff (web help created by FAR HTML) online. A Google search found a match (see attached snapshot). OK not really a new note.
A table of contents, an index and e.g. a search button is recommended for web help too. Please have a look at http://helpware.net/FAR/help/hh_start.htm and try the “Search” button. Something you already have online ...
Uploading your web help content to a subdomain e.g. www.knowledgebase.YourCompany.com may be a one part of a solution for you. Use Google’s webmaster tools for uploading a sitemap about this subdomain content.
Google’s Custom Search is another idea. For further information please have a look at: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/

I currently program a website which gives information about food products.
The way the website works is that there's a search engine -> the users search for the product they want to know something about -> the website shows all the products that they may want to see, and every product has his own page with all the information about it.
So my question is: how search engines, like google, will be able to find all the product pages?
Search engines use many different ways to find new pages. Most commonly their web crawlers follow (external as well as internal) hyperlinks.
While a typical informational website links to all available pages in its site-wide navigation (so web crawlers can reach all pages by following internal links), other websites don’t necessarily link to all their pages (maybe because you can only reach them via forms, or because it doesn’t make sense for them to provide all links, etc.).
To allow discovery/crawling of new pages of these sites, too, they can provide a site map. This is essentially just a page linking to all existing pages, but often with structured metadata that can help search engines.
So just make sure that all your pages are linked somehow. Either via "natural" internal links on your site, or by providing a sitemap (ideally following the sitemaps.org protocol), or both.
For questions about SEO advice (which is off-topic here on SO), see our sister site https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/.
Please add sitemap in your site for google crawling all pages easily and indexing properly.
also add xml sitemap
your website need SEO process.

There is this link:
http://www.talentblend.com/projects/Female-Dancers-Needed-for-La-Bayadre-The-Royal-Ballet-Flanders/229
You search that in google, it will come up first (no surprise there). This means google has crawled and indexed that page.
But if you search the title of that page 'Female Dancers Needed for La Bayadère, The Royal Ballet Flanders' it will not come up anywhere. But you will see and other page from talentblend.com coming up somewhere on the first page, that is not relevant to the searched words (just vaguely contains that text somewhere on the page).
This has happened when i updated the code on the site. Since then all newly added content behaves like the above example. Old pages still come up high in google (even the ones i deleted since).
Google webmaster tools doesnt say any errors (crawl, security, robots). I also have Google Analytics running on the page.
Can somebody tell me why is this?
My guess is that there is very little actual content on this page. There's the one sentence and then a login form. Was there more content prior to your most recent update?

If you google a specific entity, occasionally the website listed first is given a little listing of content, sort of like a mini site-map that the user can click on to navigate the linked site, bypassing the home page.
My question is this: Can I control this mini-sitemap when I am PR1? If so, how do I do so? I'm trying to build a list of relevant links so users can more effectively hit my site, but I'm not sure where to go about doing this.
Help?
No you cannot turn this on. Google decides this on their own wheter or not to generate them and for which search terms. If you sign up for the google webmasters you can see the status (if google has generated some for your site) and read more about their background.
Google generates the sitelinks itself, but only for certain sites. As for how it determines which sites get it and which don't, I'm not really sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the pagerank of the site and the amount of content you have.
For a while, I had sitelinks for my site (PR4 with about 40,000 pages indexed in Google) but then a while later, they went away. In my case it generated sitelinks for the main tabs on the site, probably because they are in the header navigation and therefore on every single page near the top of the page.
The only control you have over them is you can use the Google webmaster tools to remove sitelinks that you don't like, but you can't change the existing ones or suggest new ones.
They are called Sitelinks - there's a FAQ entry about them here.
You can't control them (except to remove ones you don't like) - the FAQ says "At the moment, sitelinks are completely automated."
