Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Seems to me if the posts were valuable enough to link to, maybe you shouldn't be getting rid of them. You should noindex or redirect them instead. It's probably best to create a list and decide on a case-by-case basis what you want to do with them. I'd customize my 404 page to explain that a site cleanup was done on XYZ date and if you (a visitor) are here because you can't find the post you were looking for, I recommend ...  and point them to your human readable sitemap or the main blog page. Then I'd go thru the post inventory and redirect the pages with links and/or social mentions to the closest related page or main blog page. The other ones I'd noindex. Any you miss will land on the 404 page and understand what has happened.

I'm pretty sure it was on the product page you messaged about. Not that there is anything wrong with marking up several things on a page, but I'm just saying perhaps one of those other areas (e.g. pharmacy) is where the incomplete markup is instead of the product markup.

That's what i expected to hear. Thank you very much

I tried SEMRUSH and they are a great tool, but's very limited for the free version.

Hi Ruben, That's a good thing to learn! Yes, I've run into different requirements over the years in different states. Interesting to know how it works in Florida. Good luck:)

I agree with Justin and Bruce! Being that the brand name is Wick Video, I dont find this to be kw stuffing in any way.

Hey MorganNW! No unfortunately you can't. I asked this same thing a while back and was told we cannot add additional users "at this time". I'm not sure if this meant they were working on adding this feature or not but I don't think its on the top of the priority list. They have WAY bigger fish(kin's) to fry! lol Check out this post: http://moz.com/community/q/how-can-i-add-multiple-users-to-my-pro-account

Thank you! Ahmet Çadırcı

You'd still want the other pages of the site to show up on Google so it defeats the purpose of just having the homepage show that, either way, it will be complicated if I pushed for that and forced redirects, so I would just make it simple and introduce an unblockable popup that logs IPs for that instead of making that verification page the actual home page. That way, I get to keep my optimized homepage and you can make the most of popups like introducing sharing/signups etc. For easy niches, Ive made these things rank in the past but it's been a long time since I've worked on a site that still use verifications that way. It might be harder this time, but if it's easy enough, optimizing that page with some more content and targeted meta details should still work like a charm.

Hi Benny! I am not sure what happened to your email from the 18th but I did see the one submitted yesterday. I'm afraid Erin's earlier response on the 18th identified the issue with your campaigns. We are not finding keywords in the top 50 for your September campaign due to the URL set to only track the root domain because your site is ranking as the "www" version on the SERPs. This is indicated below the campaign settings where it says "tracking only this subdomain" which is set by checking the box to "exclude subdomains" from the setup process. This means if you are ranking as www.domain.com, we are actually looking for domain.com If you setup a root domain URL without checking the box to exclude subdomains, this will act as a catch-all to pull rankings for all versions of the site, www or non-www. This is why the May campaign is showing ranking keywords because we are "tracking all sites at this domain". Hope this helps!

The best offense is a great defense! I wouldn't waste another second of your valuable time on it. IMO Google wanted to stop making it easy for SEO's and wanted to make us WORK for that valuable data. You should just start tracking your pages that are optimized/ranking for specific terms. Then you can see what IS and what ISN'T working. At that point, the "not provided" nonsense becomes a rear-view mirror object for you. But yes, I agree, this is quite a frustrating issue to deal with.

Does Compete.com do that? I've never used them, but I know they offer competitive metrics. Traffic Travis does some link breakdowns, but it doesn't have a report exactly like that. It will tell you: Backlink URL Page authority Alexa Rank The number of urls the page links to Whether the page is indexed Follow/no-follow Anchor text IP address TLD (.com, .gov, .edu, and so on) RavenTools also has a really cool link manager. However, I'm not sure whether or not you can use this on competitors' sites. You may also be able to accomplish this in a moderately automated fashion with a combination of Excel and Majestic SEO. You could identify a lot of blog links, for instance.

One sneaky trick that your competitors don't want you to know about... I could really use that headline with this. Imagine things this way, you are doing backlink profiling on a competitor that ranks above you. You see that he has a bunch of spammy forums posts. But no matter what you do, you cannot out rank him. So you start forum spamming yourself to try to catch him in the SERPS. But then you get a penalty. The disavow tool has more than one use really. It will let Google know not to penalize you for links (or give you credit) but it will also mask your link profile too. I would just disavow them and be done with it. Let you competitors try to figure out what Google is giving you credit for or is not.

If you prospects are querying Google for a certain term, Google wants to display relevant information to the best of their ability. If these terms are longtails, finding a relevant page may be difficult for them. So creating optimized & valuable landing pages that focus on the user experience is GOOD. Creating this type of content can be difficult and resource intensive. So, I was pointing out, you can look for clusters of contextually related keywords and create landing page for those clusters. A content farm (is usually defined) as sites that focus on content that they can monetize and typically written strictly for search engines and not visitors. Also, many of them "repurpose" content is from other sources. Since much of the content is not unique/valuable, typically will get dinged.

In my experience the smaller niche directories are a little different to those that are very large, generic and spammy which any Tom, Dick and Harry can feature on. As it focuses a bit more on the manufacturing industry It will most likely be ok and in essence actually probabaly provide a bit of a benefit due to its relevancy. If it is a paid for directory the links should really be no followed to avoid any penalties, I would also try not to use directories for link value but more for brand awareness and driving relevant traffic. It is the aforementioned larger none niche specific directories I would certainly steer well clear of. Hope that makes sense. Cheers Tim

Hi Kasia! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for reaching out! James is totally right! You can archive any of your campaigns to free up a slot. Please note that we'll store your historical data, but we won't collect anything new while your campaign is archived. I hope this helps, and have a great week! Erin

I found the answer I was after here: http://moz.com/ugc/is-your-website-being-replaced-with-google-plus-local-listings

Thanks Tom, Have checked none of the paginated pages are driving traffic so i think No-index, follow will be the best choice. Regards, Anirban
