Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Alexander, Check out Who Is Hosting This - it's a large community with a lot of reviews, comparisons, etc. Commercially it refers visitors to hosts, but is otherwise impartial (there are links to hosts with good and bad reviews). The "compare" feature might be useful for you: http://i.imgur.com/wyyITPL.png I hope this helps! Jane

Hi, Page authority is a metric largely derived from inbound links (internal and external), so very low page authority is mostly associated with very few, or very bad, links pointing to those pages. If you run an OSE report, do you see any external links pointing to those articles? Are the articles well linked-to from relevant sources within the same website? Unless the articles are meant to serve as important landing pages, it's worth noting that they do not need extremely high PA, and it's normal for otherwise strong sites to have a lot of low-PA pages.

Thanks, Jane, that's a much better answer/example!

Hi Adam, Would you be comfortable sharing the site and the queries involved with me? You can PM them to me if you'd rather - I can take a look at the backlink profile to see if something telling lies there. Cheers, Jane

The sources are too numerous to list. You can find tons of posts on Moz though. Of note is we are handling the link cleanup on a rather large client and I decided to try out removeem. Based on weighing all we have seen so far with the software, I like it. Like with any there have been a glitch or two but their support has been very excellent. But, as I am talking with a team member she says, "Our link to our client shows up as Toxic." So, I am like "Get outta here!?" Sure enough we were. Note about software: You have to look at what they are utilizing to call something toxic or not. In this case it had more to do with the anchor text that had been used in linking to this client. So, not all that are toxic are and not all that are clean are clean. That is where you have to be somewhat nuanced in your approach. I suggest that if it looks like a paid directory (Other than dmoz or Yahoo) or if it is one that is just a perpetual listing of firms with no real content or context, I would remove it. If it is comment spam on posts, etc. Those are the types of things that stand out readily. Best,

This is a book they're presenting on their site, of course it's not unique content. I'm sure they're aware of that. OP, to your questions: 1. Generally you won't be penalized for having too many links on a page, but Google will only crawl so many of them. The higher authority your site is, you can have tons of links on a page and get more of them crawled. 2. What makes you think you're being penalized? Significant drop in traffic?

Commerce shops are hard to rank especially when they are in very competitive markets. Most of this falls back to alot of flash little substance. That may sound harsh, but let us think it through. Anybody with $100 or less and very rudimentary web building skills can make an e-commerce site. What are the search engines actually looking for? Unique content! Does this site sell, inform, or offer any information that is not available on another site? Actually only one thing, a brand. If you search here in the US for that brand this site is #1 (google.com). When you get into what people are likely searching for "e-cig", "e-cigarettes", they are lacking. My guess is because despite having a very attractive looking site, they are offering very little textual information about e-cigarettes and a lack of inbound links. I sure others may have some opinions but I hope my thoughts help, Don

I'd say it''s all down to content and how much of Good Relevant content you have. If you have enough content to fill a website about all of these individual areas then a sub domain offers you the ability to demonstrate your expertise in these areas and Google will see that your focussed in that area. Also it means that the first word will be a keyword in your domain which is excellent. However if you have only a few pages for each site that would be bad as Google would see it as it is your making something solely for Google ranking which it would very much frown upon. If your doing something to your site just for Google ranking then generally as a rule of thumb the answer s no don't do it. A well structures site is much more preferable.

Hi Kevin, Afraid I don't use Sharepoint but a quick Google came up with the following- http://www.mavention.nl/blog/sharepoint-redirects-revisited-301-302 As you mentioned a 301 is better then a 302. Rel=canonical does take time for Google to take note did you give it enough time ? To Answer the main question I hope the above link helps.

I can suggest you one SEO company who can solve your all issues related Magento shopping cart, web.spartantouch.com  because i have already taken website maintenance and SEO plan for my Magento shopping cart site and i am satisfied with their services.

Yes, it's possible to be penalised for a single page or single keyword. Your page has mostly  san diego domestic violence lawyer as the anchor text. You might want to stop doing that altogether. I didnt take a look at your competitors though so they might be more SEO, but there's a possibility that you got a minor penalty for that keyword phrase.

A lot of companies actually do this but I would suggest doing it separately (with great page content) as it has given me the best results with all the ecom sites we've worked with, even without link building. There's actually no duplicate issues there as I haven't seen one yet for that situation.

Hi Ahalliday That is the plan. I was just hoping there would be a solid automated system or process by now. But I guess its back to the trusted manual approach. Thanks

If you're looking to redirect ALL sub-pages to the new main page then you would use mod_rewrite with your .htaccess file something like- RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/dental-tips(.*)$ http://floridadentist.com/dental-tips/ If you're trying to redirect to the matching URI just under that new sub-directory this would be more appropriate- RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/dental-tips(.*)$ http://floridadentist.com/dental-tips/$1

That's what I was thinking too, Dave. Thanks.

Thanks for feedback Marie... I did notice one newswire specifically told me they didn't auto-syndicate the news release (with links at least sometimes, I presume), so I'm giving those guys a trial on my own site, just to see what happens.

A good idea, I'm trying delete and noindex meta for low quality my pages. I hope....Thanks!

Hi David, I'm not really sure how you would get to this page from let's say the homepage but besides that there could be a couple other ways that Google found this page: via a sitemap, via a link on another Web site or via social media. In all cases would Google be able to view the page and be able to index it. It really depends on what kind of form you use but I've seen some cases where Google was able to use select boxes etc.

Anytime a website URL changes there is a large potential for harm.  I would say that you can expect a significant drop in the near future after moving the site. Make sure the old URL has a permanent redirect 301.  This tells Google (and others) that the website has been moved and it is a permanent move.  SERPs won't update immediately, so this will help you funnel traffic to your new website address. In a perfect world, black-hats don't take expired domains with high DA and try to recreate the content to build up their affiliate marketing link strategies, but that's another topic.

Keri is completely correct. Citation building is a Local SEO technique, and virtual businesses are not local. Good question!
