Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Didn't surprise me, instead of trading a link for money you're trading a link for content it's still a paid link.

Thank you Yiannis, That's something else i need to learn how to do

Thanks Thomas for all the extra links. I will check them out later!

We have been using http://www.getharvest.com/ for the last few years. It's decent, but I think we'll move away from it shortly as we no longer really use time tracking. I'll be looking at something that integrates into Xero, or if Xero does recurring invoices, I'll just use that.

Great, thanks for kind useful reply. Best, Teginder

just leave it. Double check for errors on it.

Thanks for your feedback Eric. Yes I wont be surprise the percent of mobile affected traffic depends by industry and website type as we been affect by 5-8% drop SEO traffic going to Direct. I was actually interested in opening the conversation on how SEOs are dealing with this matter when reporting SEO performance metrics or any alternatives to go around. -Patri

the ability my end users have the same feeling as if they had attended a rock concert or  whatever type of music they prefer so they are whipped up into a mob mentality not to destroy anything but to simply purchase or convert leads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w1QNhp1fS0 This without the tragedy http://youtu.be/Dt0ipUCfdlU This is how I want leads be when on my site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7s_px1ED4

Hey Letty, It's been about a month since you posted this - how are things going? Did the information Thomas give you help the process? Just to make sure I'm clear on your original question, the situation is: You have 5 desktop websites on 5 separate domains You have mobile versions of the site, but just on 1 domain (as an "m" subdomain) All of these sites currently share the same mobile platform The issues are: To search engines, it will look like 4 of your sites don't have mobile versions, and the one mobile site will have "duplicate" content with the other desktop domains Visitors may be skeptical if they try to visit one domain and it automatically redirects/recommends that they visit another URL for the mobile page The answer is, basically, you're right. Search engines are getting pretty good at recognizing when a separate mobile URL or subdomain is actually the mobile version of a desktop site, but this structure is really confusing. (If it confuses humans, it's probably going to confuse search engines.) You should really set up separate m.site#.com subdomains for each site you own and mimic the structure of your desktop site on each one. Did that answer your question? Is there anything else I can help with? Kristina

Another wrinkle with using Yext. It appears that the links on many of the citations created by Yext, do not link directly to the business. Instead, they pass thru Yext first before being redirected to the business.

Look at http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/keyword-basics-part-1-how-search-engines-work Some of the issues really having this website are making this way as a result using different twins to get to actually click on the landing page. It is not a source code does not necessarily mean it is bad. Honestly if it adds to the end-user experience finding the best thing that they can looking like if for bed bath & beyond bedsheets then I don't think it's bad thing. If it is going to up them in the SERPS just in order to just get a higher ranking of course it should be blacklisted and it should be under the category of black hat technics however I do not believe it is. I hope I've been of help, Thomas

I'm reading Christopher's explanation a little differently. Christopher, are you saying you have a single business (a flower shop) that you originally listed at something like your home office address, but that the flower shop is now moving and you want it to be listed at its new location? If so, this is the procedure: Edit the existent Google listing to show the new address. This may require re-verification and may result in ranking loss, at least temporarily. You may also lose your reviews. However, if you have the new Google Places for Business Dashboard, the good news is that it is possible to request that Google moves your old reviews to the new location. Read Googler Jade's explanation of this here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/business/3IyA72bx3o4 If you have the old dashboard, you cannot do this and will likely lose any reviews associated with the old address. Launch a citation cleanup campaign in which you discover and edit all mentions of the business across the web and update them to reflect the new address. This includes mentions on your website of the old address. If you are saying that you are also changing domain names (not sure if this is what you meant) you need to change this everywhere, too. You may experience some fluctuations in rankings, but hopefully you can keep working towards building authority over time.

Thanks Tom, I think we have a similar school of thought to that. We will continue to add good quality links and go for high authority links over a sustained period of time. Unfortunately we worked with a bad SEO provider in the past who claimed "Google moved the goalposts" - this is utter none-sense as they just used spammy tactics for their clients to make money. In many ways I'm glad Google have updated their algorithm to be more sophisticated as it is rewarding the better SEO's & Link builders. Eventually I think those bad links that are still in our profile will be diluted and we will remove them as I think they will negatively affect us at some point in the future i.e. "Panda 3.0" but that might be a few months off yet. Cheers for the advice Paul

Aditya, If the dynamic content is focused enough and your page title and back link anchor text correspond to the focused content you may be able to remain fairly steady in the rankings--depending on the term and the competition.  If the dynamic content is all over the map and the rest of the on-page/off page SEO  isn't well focused you'll likely have a tough time of it.

no, but the sentence "Guaranteed page 1 Google Rank" says enough to me.

Thanks for your response! Much appreciated

Thanks for the info Adam and Kevin.  Thomas, thanks for the removeem suggestion, I hadn't heard of that tool before but it looks great.

Google has not sent you anything right? If not please have the site looked at before making changes http://www.virante.org/seo-tools/link-depth-analysis http://www.virante.org/seo-tools/duplicate-content Look the best you can using http://www.virante.org/seo-tools Many of these tools have advanced versions that are accessible with a coupon code only. If this feature is available, you will be prompted for the code before you run the tool. On Site Optimization Tools Duplicate Content Tool The most comprehensive web-based duplicate content tool available online. This tool checks 7 different common causes and effects of duplicate content to diagnose any current or potential duplicate content penalties. WWW vs Non WWW Tool Determine whether you should use the www. or non www version of your domain as the canonical version based on your external link profile. LDA Content Optimizer This tool determines your onTopic score for a particular URL and keyword. The tool then spiders your page and top ranking pages for that keyword to determine colocated terms that you have not included in your page. The tool then re-checks your LDA score if you were to include those keywords on your page to determine the potential increase in relevancy. Second Page Poaching API A free API for taking advantage of Virante's Second Page Poaching technique to lift long-tail terms from Page 2 to Page 1. Duplicate Content Checker by Title Tool Diagnosis non-standard duplicate content issues by brute-force checking of search engine results based on identical title tags. Theme Keyword Finder Tool A different approach for creating more thematic content, this tool diggs through your competitor's websites to determine common words and phrases they use throughout their text. Use those words to make your content match the themes of your industry more closely. Density of Keyword Tool Unlike other live keyword density tools, this performs "phrase density" measurements, so two, three and four word combinations are compared not against the regular word count, but against all other two, three, and four word combinations. This gives you a more accurate measurement of density. Off Site Optimization Tools PageRank Recovery Tool Many sites lose a lot of potential PageRank because sites link to incorrect URLs. This tool helps you find them and automatically generate the 301 redirects you need to recover that PageRank. Link Atrophy Diagnostic Tool Identify the rate of top link atrophy on your site. If your top links are being removed at a high pace, you won't see positive rankings. Powered by SEOMoz Labs. Competitive Analysis Tool SEO is a competition. You have to be more popular and more relevant than your competitors to succeed. Just type in your keyword and the page you want to rank so you can compare yourself to your top competitors. Link Proximity Analysis Compare a website's link graph to Wikipedia's based on the proximity of their backlinks to other backlinks on the linking page. Link Depth Analysis Compare a website's link graph to Wikipedia's based on the average hierarchical depth of the backlink source URLs. Multiple Links Analysis Compare a website's link graph to Wikipedia's based on the number of other links to the same domain on the backlink source pages. Link Hub Finder Get links from the same sources as your competitors. Find niche linking sites that provide valuable thematic links. Banned Sites Tool Utilizing the brand new linkfromdomain: command in MSN, this tool finds the top 100 outbound links on your site and determines whether or not those sites are banned.

You've gotten some great responses so far.  I thought I'd add my two cents. Prior to the Penguin update on May 22 of this year, why do you think you were ranking above these other sites?  Was it because Google saw the quality of your site?  Or is it because you had a lot of links pointing to you?  It most definitely was because you had a lot of links, especially links containing your keywords as anchor.  And that's how things should work, right?  Links are important because they are a vote from Site A for Site B. But are your links really true votes?  I had a look at your links in ahrefs and you've got 294 domains linking to you with the anchor text "calgary web design".  Here are some examples: http://www.cheaphostingsites.org/directory/articles/5151/1/How-Beneficial-it-is-to-Hold-an-Outstanding-Online-Site/Page1.html http://www.articleon.net/automotive/cut-down-your-automobile-insurance-rates-with-some-of-the-following-steps/ http://www.articlebook123.com/Article/42719/Experienced-Web-Designer-Would-Deliver-Fantastic-Results.html http://articledirectoryabc.com/Article/246682/Internet-Site-Designing-Simpler-Using-Calgary-Website-Design-Company.html These are all low quality spammy articles and there are a LOT more of them too.  This is exactly the type of spam that Penguin was created to devalue. It may not be that Google is trying to show low quality sites above you.  You've definitely lost the link equity you once had from those links.  What we don't know is whether Penguin just devalues those links or actually causes a negative value to be applied.  Google says that Penguin is not a penalty but simply an algorithm change.  I think it's possible that what you have done by building these low quality links is tell Google that they can't trust the quality of links that point to your site. I haven't taken the time to look but I am guessing that the sites that are now ranking in the top places are ones that have a link profile that consists mostly of naturally earned links.
