Welcome to the Q&A Forum

When you say that you know you've had over 100 visits, how do you know this? Server logs, for instance, record hits not visits or unique visitors. If the visitor stats in Google Analytics and Moz match - which they should - then it seems unlikely there is a problem. Remember to filter by the same period in Google Analytics as your timeframe in Moz Analytics.

Hi there, Anyway if you have more doubts you can take a look here http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started/campaign-settings Regards

Thank you, all!  Your answers are what I thought was okay to begin with.  When I started reading Penguin articles, it was seeming that many things I thought were okay were not and it was really confusing. I did read that Point Blank article several months back and made a strategy to employ many of the concepts in there. I have around 14% anchor text that isn't just my company name and is some kind of keyword phrase.  Is that okay? The rest is some form of my website or company name.

Hi Paul, Some great advice. In the turn of the New Year when we have more resources we are going to take action following your plan - it is a lot more work but makes perfect sense. Again, thank you for pointing out that I need to remove the robots.txt block so that the page commands can be discovered - I will get onto this straight away. Thank you once again. Lloyd

It doesn't necessary affect your rankings, but it could sometimes mess things up. I would suggest just ask your developer to include it for every page. If two pages have similar content, you may choose to use the same canonical, so that google would index only one of those two pages. hope this helps...

Update - all sorted !! whilst i had all the above permissions apparently there was still a higher level of admin/user access my client has now given me so should all be cool

is there anyway we can do it for free? assuming i own a wordpress site, do contact form able to do so? because all i want is to run one campaign but these services required montlhy subscription

Agreed, Paul.  I only gave my answer based directly on the question as I try not to assume I know what they want to do. I wouldn't build ANY part of my own site to look like the above domain.  Given that, OP asked if it would "make these links visible to Search Engines."  Sitemap does that, and as I originally posted "it's not the best way" Also, if you basically ONLY have a sitemap and most of the authority flows to there, then it can only go to the pages on the sitemap - well, it'll work to an extent but it's not perfect.

Hi Arthur, This past summer, Factual made a major policy change and they no longer accept individual updates. Here's an announcement about this from July https://blumenthals.com/blog/2014/07/29/factual-no-longer-accepting-individual-updates/ So, unfortunately, this platform no longer works the way it used to, and if you want Factual to have your data, you will need to go through a trusted provider. *Hint - Moz Local is a trusted provider:) And here is a complete list of all trusted providers: http://developer.factual.com/trusted-data-contributors/ Hope this helps!

Hi, Arthur image-slider pro ( WP) you can add image alt & titles. For Joomla modules i'm not sure, but you can go to; http://extensions.joomla.org/ and check the different slider modules and look if they have the possibility for image alt & title tags. Goodluck! Leonie

Thanks for reaching out to us! I'm investigating this now and responded in the ticket we have open. We should be able to track down your listing once we locate the email address and login used during the purchase process. I look forward to assisting you.

Thanks Leonie, so I guess if CTR goes up, so must ranking eventually...

First, you don't want to hire an SEO company that makes "guarantees" about getting you 1st page Google placement within a short amount of time. A) Google's in charge, not them, so they can't promise you anything. B) Generally, the techniques that are utilized to get you 1st page results quickly are against Google's quality guidelines and are easily discovered and penalized by Google. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en To elaborate on point B, more specifically, I'm talking about the creation of "unnatural" backlinks that are intended solely to boost rankings for particular keywords. I would definitely interview the SEO company and ask them what sort of techniques they employ. If they mention link building, I would insist on seeing samples of links they've built for clients. If they show you poorly written articles or discussion forum posts containing money keyword links such as "house painter boise" or "office furniture delaware" then I would recommend you avoid the company. These exact match anchor texts can improve a website's ranking for such terms in the short-term. In the long-term, however, a website's link profile will show very obvious signs of abuse. It's kind of like a person who's been on steroids for an extensive period of time and will inevitably get slapped with a manual or algorithmic penalty. You want a more modern and up-to-date company that utilizes quality content marketing and creative social media and marketing solutions to garner your website more natural links. I would also attempt to diagnose if your website currently has any such penalties. You can use Google's Webmaster Tools to check if you have a manual penalty, or you can use something like the Fruition.net Google Penalty checker to see if you were negatively impacted by Panda or Penguin. If any of the above prove to be the case, I would then do a lot of research on penalty recovery before hiring an SEO company to improve rankings.

0, No 1, Yes 2/a If **voter lists **is your SEO keywords. Than I would change as following: <i<strong>mg src="assets/images/Voter-List-Data-Manager-Marlon-K-Brownlee.jpg" alt="Voter List Data Manager Marlon K.

BrownleeData Integration Manager Marlon has over 25 years of systems integration and database management. He has an MBA degree from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and an undergraduate degree from Cornell University. Marlon is responsible for managing data integration at eMerges. 2/b I hope you have somewhere written Voter List If you are targeting keyword. You should have that in Page Title and H1 and in the URL and somewhere in the text, but probably you know these.. Adam

Have you claimed your site in Webmasters Tools? If so, do you have a manual penalty? You also have a LOT of duplicate content issues. Google could be choosing not to index your site because (not much) nothing is original.  I pulled 10-15 sentences individually off your site and found so much duplication. I would suggest re-doing your whole homepage content while you sort out the link issues.  Also, many inner pages need some re-work on content as well. I agree though, it looks like a link issue. 170+ referring domains with 1700 links in Ahrefs is usually a dead giveaway of 2007-2011 link building. Disavow, reconsideration request & you should be back in the index.  Your site needs a LOT more proper SEO work to rank well but that's a start to get you back in the index.
