Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Then you have nothing to worry about as far as being delisted. I doubt the server issue would matter, but do make sure your website loads as fast as possible. That is one factor that influences search results. But suffice to say the traffic sways up and down based on lots of factors from Google along with things like the day of the week, seasons of the year, holidays, etc. In my opinion you have nothing to worry about outside of simply steadily building your website traffic.

Just to echo what has been said above. My opinion - Focussing on the term lights is probably not the best idea - very vague and there is no intent in the search request so it could mean anything.  Cheap lights (you are 6th - 480 searches PM) or cheap lighting (5 + 6th @ 1000 searches per month) are more worthwhile.  Looks like you are ranking for 180+ related terms so focus on them instead of generic words such as 'lights' and you should get better ROI anyway. From a competition standpoint you are up against the big names such as Tesco and Argos so you need to think a little differently to get past them. Chasing one single tough keyword can be ten times the effort of going after several with less competition but still give the same results anyway.

Sounds to me like you only redirected homepage to homepage. Instead, you probably should have programmed the following into htaccess... RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC] Of course, you will want to replace example.com and example.net with your old domain and new domain. When you write it up in htaccess like I pasted above this way, you are doing an entire domain redirect. Source: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/redirects/setting-up-a-301-permanent-redirect-via-htaccess I have that page bookmarked for when I do SEO work through htaccess - maybe you should do the same :). Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi William, Did you try out Ontolo meanwhile? Gr., Keszi

That's really interesting - I hadn't thought of the impact to the Ukraine, but that definitely makes sense. I think as you've highlighted, Google and Europe more generally is a tricky issue at the moment, what with the recent issues in Spain and the not-very-helpful suggestion that Google should 'break up'. In the UK, the chancellor has just announced a 'Google Tax' which will no doubt go down as well as the legislative changes in Spain. This article has a kind of doomsday scenario where Google pulls out of Europe, but I can't really foresee that happening. What do you reckon? It does worry me the way Google and Europe are colliding so much at the moment.

We have this problem today. We publish a post, it gets picked up by another site that typically outranks because it is a great blog/site and they outrank us for our own story. They always link back to our original post, but very rarely do they use canonical which would be the preferred method. Theoretically, Google is supposed to know who the original source for the content is and rank accordingly, but I have seen and continue to see the other sites rank higher. However, I do see as time goes by we eventually start to outrank these sites for our posts. As a bonus though they are backlinks to the blog. So in the end, if you are borrowing or syndicating someone else's post, always link back to them as the source, this is best practice and as an example of who does this, news agencies. They will syndicate content from the original on their blog and link back to it. As for the B post linking to the C post, I would think this could backfire as the content on B is duplicate to both C and A but doesn't give the proper credit to A. It may outrank but over time could be penalized for thin or duplicate content.

There's no easy answer, I'm afraid, and if an answer looks too easy, I'd stay away from it. Building low-quality links might help in the short-term, but it's too high-risk in the long-term. Plus, if you're combining it with duplicate content, you've got multiple quality issues in play (at least, in Google's eyes - I'm not making a judgment calling about using product descriptions, which is very common). You say that unique text is proven to have worked, and yet it isn't an option. Why? If it's a matter of time/cost, I'd strongly consider not only the long-term ROI but the possibility of investing selectively. For example, you don't have to write unique text for every product you sell (or re-sell) - you could pick the top 10% of products (which may account for 90% of sales) and start with those. Even the top 1% would be a start. Small investments in the right places could yield large returns here. The other option that people don't like to hear but really is powerful is to consider more carefully focusing your link equity on a smaller number of products. The more products you list, the more duplicates you have, and some of those products are probably very poor sellers or have very poor profit margins. What if you focused your site architecture on 25% of the total products? You'd focus your authority more and each page would be stronger, relative to your competitors. One easy win is to make sure you're not dealing with any internal duplicate content (product options pages, search filters, etc.). If you're compounding external duplication with internal duplication, it's only going to make all of your problems worse. The internal duplication is much easier to solve.

does moz cawel test tool is sufficient enough to crawl a whole site ?

This is correct! I just added the extension to your profile and everything appears to be working great! James - Moz Help Team

Chaku, We've actually partnered with SEMRush to provide keywords when creating a campaign. While we don't have a tool that does this we do have opportunities from campaigns and suggestions when setting up the campaign. At this time theses are the only two places we provide keyword suggestions. Cheers - James - Moz Help Team

I started to answer this one way, but then I looked again and you were looking for links from your website to external sites that are broken, yes? I do not know of a way to do this on Moz (though you can look at broken internal links), but you can do this with Screaming Frog. (A great resource to have for a lot of things...)

Thank you, I appreciate the answer

Whitespark....Darren's got Nyag there and he can build with the best of them!!!

Have you considered contributing your expertise to existing sites? We've all heard that "guest posting is dead", but my site, for one, still commissions and publishes (and pays for!) articles by knowledgeable people in our niche. Find a few high-authority sites, send them a good pitch for a post you could write for them, and generally become active in your community.

As far as I know that iteration would still be considered an 'exact match' domain, however, a lot industry experts have speculated and agree that their effectiveness is diminishing. In other words, ranking for exact match keywords using an exact match domain isn't as effective for getting a ranking boost as it used to be. That's some old school SEO right there. Hope this helps!

Hi Marijn, thanks for responding, I guess I got the wrong impression of the Moz functionality, thought that the weekly updates were instantanious and provide a "as it is now" perspective of authority, so its handy to know, so thanks for the share I have a query about updates, (in relation to the Google index) that you might be able to help me with? Only if you have the time of course. I provide software that displays a footer link, I know for sure which sites are using my software and that a little under half retain the footer link. A best case guess of the amount of links that are pointing to my main are in the order of 400k (maybe even double this amount), because it varies per site dependant on the amount of pages, one site, has 10k pages (which is probably the largest) but the others range from 100 to a couple of thousand pages (all of which contain a link back). The problem is that my domain authority doesn't seem to reflect this amount of links. One would think even new sites would pass a little link juice, or is it possible that Google is discounting most or a selection of them? I was thinking of compiling a list of sites that use my software, with links so that Google will crawl the sites, but I read that this can affect authority negatively? fyi - Moz says that there are only 35k, which is less than a 10th (at best) of what's out there. Best wishes, Lee

I'm afraid not for bash curls. We do share example code for calling our API using other languages at https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples

Lubov, I do feel you improved your titles here. Using the Engineered Brown Wood as the start of your title seems logical to me. The Cipressa in the old title, what does that  refer to? A particular type of wood or product name you use? Using London in the Title might tell your users where you are but they don't tell them who you are. Danny Dover's book suggest you use | Companyname/sitename at the end of the title. I implemented this for several websites and the results seem to work great. However, when you do that and implement it throughout your site you don't mention London. But you do refer to it in the footer. Why not implement your entire contact details in the footer of the page? Then you can leave london out of your title tag and you have it in your page footer. That is what I would do. Hope this helps you some. regards Jarno
