Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Online chat was a total fail.  We had user voice on the site for a year and no one used it!  Ever.

Have you tried more than one tool to verify they are indeed not showing up? Try a few other backlink watching tools, just to double check. Raven tools has a great link checker, as does Ahrefs. Visit the actual page where your links were supposed to be placed, to see if they are still present, and inspect the link to verify it is "followed", and not a "no-follow" Also, were the links that were acquired paid links? Could be that the linking site got hit with a penalty. This is all just speculation, based upon what you have said here. I would do a bit more research, to try and see if the links were truly removed, if they are followed, or if it's just not showing up in MOZ's link crawler.

Followerwonk is a great resource for this. Also, I remember an old MOZ post about guest blogging, definitely worth a read. Full article here: http://moz.com/blog/five-steps-to-finding-the-right-guest-blogging-opportunities. Might open up a few new paths for you, or at least spark an idea. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. It could be that on the other domain the brand name or some similarity existed, and that is what Google is using to tie them together. Along with using the 410, make sure to place the proper robots data on the page, meaning use "no-archive" so the search engines always keep display the most recent result. NOINDEX tag tells Google not to index a specific page NOFOLLOW tag tells Google not to follow the links on a specific page NOARCHIVE tag tells Google not to store a cached copy of your page NOSNIPPET tag tells Google not to show a snippet (description) under your Google listing, it will also not show a cached link in the search results

If it shows in your analytics account as an incoming traffic source, they know about it. Have you linked out from your webpage or website to your new link? I would add a link on your site to that particular post, since it links back to you, and use fetch as Google to get them to recrawl your page. Couldn't hurt, and it only take a few minutes. And yes, it is common.

It might be that Moz's crawler is not picking up the description because of the way that you have it written. The standard way to write a meta description is like this. name="description" content="Buy the robust and reliable Canon imageRUNNER 2525 from Copyfaxes. Learn more about the Canon 2525 before you buy." /> You have yours written like this. http-equiv="description" content="Buy the robust and reliable Canon imageRUNNER 2525 from Copyfaxes. Learn more about the Canon 2525 before you buy." /> Using http-equiv actually tries to simulate meta information through a response header. Which is incorrect. You should rewrite your descriptions to be like the first type. Search engines might be able to decipher it, even though it is semantically wrong, but I would not risk it.

Hey Devanur, Thank you so much!  I really appreciate you taking the time to help out.  I'm going to look at it now and figure it out! Best, -Arash

After the update on the 20th, we have seen similar results on certain keywords. Big item here: DONT FREAK OUT. The last think you want to do is start changing a bunch of items on your site, and possibly get them both removed. If you wanted to take some kind of action, you could start looking at ways to help the page you want to rank. (Personally, I think its best if you can get them both to rank on page one, as it seems like Google likes both pages.) Start to add a few links to whatever page you want showing up, both internally, and through different blog or media elements. What you want to try and do is tell Google "This is the more important page". These kinds of things are common around when Google releases an update. Sometimes things look goofy for a few months while they actually get it applied. I don't think (my theory, not proven) that Google releases its algo update all at one time, hence why they say the are "rolling out" a new update when they release it. I think it is "rolled out" over a period of time, and that could be why you are seeing such results.

The company I work for has just invested in Hubspot to market our own company to begin with.  I will let you know how we get on with it.  I originally took the call from a guy trying to sell it to us as I requested a free trial.  I ended up telling him that it wasn't right for our business as creating automated landing pages for ourselves and our clients would actually take work away from us.  We mainly build websites and landing pages you see.  I felt like he was effectively trying to take our clients onto their platform and we would see a few crumbs of commission.  I also said we have access to all the data they provided using multiple online software.  So I declined. Our owner/manager has recently bought into it thinking that inbound marketing is the future or marketing and  I would have to agree, it is why I signed up for the trial in the first place (Once all of the technical aspects of SEO have been taken care of, it then becomes more of a marketing role). However, I did think it was something that we could manage ourselves as David has said "use 3-4 third party applications instead".  This can be quite time consuming when your client list starts to stack up. I am still skeptical as it still requires a lot of hard work and money.  It's not like they create any of the content for you.  I will let you know the progress we have made with it in a couple of months.  If you don't hear anything from me.....I doubt it will have been very successful PS. I hope this all makes sense I typed it very quickly

Hi Epic, I'm so sorry this question slipped under my radar. I really apologize for that! At any rate, I suggest you check out the past work of Local SEO Nyagoslav Zhekov. Look through his blog: www.ngsmarketing.com/blog/. He is probably one of the world's most experienced internationally-focused Local SEOs, having worked with local businesses in a many, many countries. He's written quite a bit about the different platforms in different countries. Additionally, have you checked out the new Moz Local learning center? This page contains links to Local Search Ecosystem graphics for the US, UK, Germany, Brazil and Canada: http://moz.com/learn/local/local-search-data-providers Might be good to take a look! Again, I'm chagrined that I didn't see your question in June. I hope this reply, though belated, is of some help!

Looks like you answered your own question. I would hesitate about changing existing URLs and make the update for future posts. If that's not possible, you must have 301 redirects working properly. Also, if your targeting Broadway Theater, you need to make sure that keyword exists on the page content and try to change the breadcrumb to read Broadway instead of New York.

Hey BCutrer, Just wanted to make sure you'd seen a good solution to this and everything was deindexed properly? I haven't heard anyone mention the lack of a cached version as a sign of deindexation about to occur, but would be curious if you still think that was the case. I would sooner guess that noarchive was placed on those pages.

Basic cleanup From a procedural standpoint, you want to first add the noindex meta tag to the search results first.  Google has to see that tag to then act on it and remove the URLs.  You can also enter some of the URLs into the Webmaster tools removal tool. Next you would want to add /catalogsearch/ to robots.txt once you see all the pages getting out of the index. Advanced cleanup If any of these search result URLs are ranking and are landing pages in Google.  You may want to consider 301 redirecting those pages to the properly related category pages. My 2 cents.  I only use the GWT parameter handler on parameters that I have to show to the search engines. I otherwise try to hide all those URLs from Google to help with crawl efficiency. Note that it is really important that you do the work to find what pages/urls Google has cataloged to make sure you dont delete a page that is actually generating some traffic for you.  A landing page report from GA would help with this. Cheers!

Hi,Gavin, Why you're still using 301 redirect to redirect the authority from the old domain to the new domain, you should start building links for the new domain and possibility reach out to those people that linked to the old domain to link to your new domain so that your new site can stand on its own.  If you're only relying on the authority from the old domain and not build any new back links, I'm not sure if it can ever stand on it's own. Keep working hard on building links my 2 cents. Thank you!

I agree with the MadderPillar.  The third one tells you exactly what it's about immediately, which is why I think it is ideal.  Some SEOs report that there is a weighted system for Title tags, as well.  The first words in the title get more authority.  I've personally never experimented with this, but I tend to follow it to be on the safe side. I would also suggest adding in some additional blog posts about this topic: 5 Things You Didn't Know About Shakespeare 5 Reasons to Go To The Free Outdoor Shakespeare People love quick lists on Social Media, and 5 unique facts about Shakespeare would probably be worthy of a click from many people.
