Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us! Would you be able to write into help@moz.com please so we can take a closer look at this. Looking forward to hearing from you, Eli

Great to hear all is sorted.

It can do under certain circumstances, particularly if vulnerabilities are detected. If your news section had malware or if links from your news section were detected to HTTP resources (internal / external pages, images embedded from HTTP) that could cause problems (Google want everything on HTTPS now) It would be unusual but there are certain circumstances where you could see wider impact(s). Another thing is, if the news section garnered your site a manual penalty, then quite often that could spread to all pages / keywords / rankings. Simply deleting the news section would be unlikely to restore performance instantly If it were something like poor content or duplicate content, that would be more likely to just affect your news section without impacting your other pages (e.g: products) unless of course they shared the same issues If the news section is riddled with technical errors it could bring the site health metrics for your overall domain slightly but in general the impact to the rest of the site should be non-radical Hope that helps

Sometimes, it works with different models. As I'm also working on the same article and it gets a position in this update.

If the errors are detected by Moz's crawler and Google Search Console (both at the same time) then I'd be much more concerned. It does also depend on the volume of them, if there are like three then it's probably not worth your time to sort it out. If there are hundreds or thousands, you might want to think about that If you have hidden links in the coding which Moz is picking up on (that's how Moz's crawler works, by following links) then you can't really say: "We've checked each page and know that we are not linking to them anywhere on our site" - the fact that the crawler found the links means they exist and are there (even if you can't see them or find them). That is of course, unless your site is on one of the unusual architecture that Rogerbot (Moz's crawler) has difficulties with. That shouldn't be your first assumption, though - he usually knows where he's going Where you say this: "since we migrated our blog to Hubspot so we think it has something to do with the test pages their developers had set up" - pull them up on it! If their developers coded a load of errors into your site, that's their fault not yours and it should be their expense (not yours) to fix it This is the page regarding their CMS: https://www.hubspot.com/products/marketing/content-management-system It does say "A Content Management System Built for Professional Marketers" - so migrating to it, shouldn't cause loads of SEO problems, as SEO is still the largest chunk of most site's online marketing and traffic. That should be nailed down, no problems, fewer problem than your prior system In-fact, HubSpot know that SEO is important for a CMS: https://www.hubspot.com/cms-and-seo - "Every marketer has been told that they need to consider SEO when creating content. But what makes SEO a unique marketing strategy that marketers should prioritize? And why should your CMS have tools that help you execute your SEO strategy?" - I would argue that a load of 404 errors, could not be considered "tools that help you execute your SEO strategy" Whether their developers messed up or their CMS is at fault is not really relevant. The main point is, the responsibility to sort it out should be on their side (not yours, IMO)

Thanks For The Great Guide.

Check using the organic search estimates in Ahrefs, those are usually pretty good and they keep quite a long history. You can also get similar estimates from SEMRush

It could be, but if you don't have any crawl data available from your log files you likely can't say with certainty that the two are related.

Hello You unsubscribed my question, but no body answered me. Nobody solved the problem! Please solve it.

@Andreas this is the standard WordPress Twenty Nineteen template, with an SEO plugin enabled - there's a menu at the top, but don't know if there's something weird appearing for you. I've done little optimisation for the name, as it's basically the 'brand name' of the site. Wouldn't every website typically mention that on every page? Thanks for your help.

Hi Mazen, thanks for your reply

Hey there James, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Sorry about the trouble there - so, the thing to keep in mind here is that we do take 301 redirects into account in terms of our index updates, but for us to update any 301 link, we would need to re-discover the old pages to be able to follow and update the metrics. This is not likely common for sites with lower authority since old links are not continuously shared on new pages/articles/blogs. Link Explorer works solely through link discovery and crawling. For every link we index/crawl, these links are not guaranteed to be re-crawled.  In order for our crawler to update metrics to reflect the new domain, it would need to recrawl the pages linking to your site and discover the links which redirect. The discrepancies between the DA or PA of your old domain and new domain are probably due to the previously externally discovered links that haven't moved over just or haven’t been discovered. I hope this helps to explain - definitely let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Hi Samantha. We had the same issue last week. Drop Bing webmaster support a message here and describe your issue and they should get you indexed again: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/support?ocid=fwsupport They explained we had been added to a block list, but couldn't disclose why. They apologised and removed the block within 48 hours! I've read some other posts suggesting there doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind this seemingly random blocking of reputable and high ranking sites. Cheers.

Hi Pat: Thanks for your answer/response! Our URL is www.metro-manhattan.com To answer your questions: 1. When we moved the site to a new theme/database the URL structure did not change. However, about a year before we migrated to a new domain and and went HTTP to HTTPS (secure) so there are redirects. 301 redirects were used. 2. All the on page optimization moved when we changed themes. 3. Yes, there are some unnecessary URLs, but they are managed by robot.txt. 4.  Gzip compression/caching/cdn has been implemented to speed up site. My SEO provider is constantly adjusting but the site is not particularly fast. If we were to custom develop the same functionality without purchasing a theme, would the performance (Google Page Speed, GT Metrix) be much better? If we are satisfied with the structure, design and functionality of our site, is custom coding a costly venture? Thanks,  Alan

You can try this out: Define your main keywords Run them on https://answerthepublic.com/ to see all kinds of questions being asked around those main keywords. A lot of these questions can be good Blog topics. Take the output of that and run it in Google Ads Keyword Planner in your target country/region to see how much search volume (demand) exists for the topics/questions Run a manual search to see what's showing up for these topics/questions Write the blogs based on all the above, publish it,and then start promoting it You can also try out Quora and see what questions are being asked about a specific topic, and repeat the above process starting from research in Google Adwords. Hope that helps!

From an SEO stand point? -- Google might consider the links in this article to be paid links.  If they are marked as nofollow or as sponsored then they should not have a bad SEO impact.  But if they are not marked nofollow of sponsored then they might be a problem. -- You got an article because you want to increase brand visibility.  So, what is the DailyMail doing to deliver traffic into your article?  Are they shouting it on on their home page and on every relevant page across the site?  An article on an orphan page is worth nothing.  An article on a heavily promoted page is worth a lot more. -- How long is the article going to be there, and how long will strong promotion of it persist? -- It's a thin content article.   It would be best to give them a very high quality article if lots of people are going to see it.   That will produce a positive impression for your brand.  The high quality article will also rank better in the SERPs, if the Daily Mail is allowing it to be indexed.   If it is going to be used on the DM for a limited amount of time, it could then be used on another website or your own., -- How would I spend my next block of money and time?   I would make a kickass 10x article and post it on my own website.

I would generally recommend buying the .co.uk if your business is targeting a UK customer base whereas if you are intending to trade overseas and don't want to be considered as primarily a UK company I would suggest that you pick .com.

Answers above is spot on, A comprehensive robots file should help with this, if your in a hurry to clean the indexation up, you a can remove URLs witihin the search console. One other thing to consider is, your xml sitemap. look at this in detail & what your asking the search engine to crawl.  End of life products, legacy catalogues should not be included.
