  • I am sorry you feel that way, but you are wrong. It looks like woo only supports around 125 payment methods (gateways and offline type methods such as P.O's and such). With only 14 free ones that only include one top tier US payment company (Amazon). Check out something like Prestashop. Between the main site and all of the 3rd party merchant sites, they support around 300 different gateways and methods. With most top tier gateways in the US being free, such as Auth.net, Bluepay, First Data, Paypal business, Paypal Advanced, ect. So while Woo does have good payment support, it is costly and not near the best coverage.

  • Hey Jen, Amazing timing! Really good feedback. As for a starting place, could you recommend any platforms or plug and play solutions? Where you can encourage engagement, promote community members, and send out emails. There are a lot of options out there but most of them seem kind of archaic. Especially compared to the shininess of Moz Q&A and Youmoz. Appreciate your help!

  • twitter.com is recognisable enough, but keeping the www. makes a URL more recognisable, especially if you're using a domain extension that people aren't familiar with e.g. one of the new gTLDs: example.photo or www.example.photo Some CMSs and forums automatically linkup text when it has the www. prefix, so you might be slightly more likely to get clickable links if you keep the prefix. Advantages to not having it - shorter URLs, and programming-wise it's unnecessary. Often it's down to personal preference - do you prefer the prefix or not? If you'll have subdomains it might look nicer if you keep the www. prefix for your main site. To avoid duplicate content issues make sure you 301 redirect your non-preferred domain to the preferred, or canonical to your preferred domain if 301s are not possible. You can also set your preferred domain in Google: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en I've just bought a new .uk domain and haven't decided whether to www. or not yet!

  • Open Site Explorer can be filtered just to show links that we think pass equity - it's under the [Show] pulldown: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ ...then set the [to] pulldown to "pages on this root domain". Sorry, I'm not sure I'm fully understanding what you're looking for (and may have misunderstood), so please feel free to provide more details.

  • Yes, Resubmit the total file with the "good links" omitted. It takes a little time but Google will start giving you link credit again for them.

  • Hi friend, you can display the disclaimer using a JavaScript overlay and this would be absolutely fine. The bots won't have any trouble crawling the website behind the JS overlay as they won't see it. This is a very common practice among the websites that display age gate verification page like porn sites and sites that talk or sell liquor etc.. This technique is not considered cloaking as the intention is not malicious or deceptive and Google handles these normally. Hope it helps and Good Luck. I addressed a similar question here on Moz: http://moz.com/community/q/different-user-experience-with-javascript-on-off Best regards, Devanur Rafi

  • We were seeing that before Hummingbird. Even in SERPS with no mapbox or the returns under it, slots 7&8 seemed to be very local centric. We did screenshots of the same result in an incognito in our various locations and got very local specific returns in those slots.

  • A couple of notes here first. Google has really clamped down on private blog networks. Your effort might be better spent in other areas than developing a network. Domain Authority is a Moz metric, and the search engines don't use our metrics for rankings. We approximate, to a degree, how we think the search engines might value sites. How the search engines treat an expired domain may depend on what you do with the site itself. If it had information about Ford Explorer tires and now it has information about hot air balloons, they can tell that something big has happened.

  • It depends on how the content on secondary domains organized. If each secondary domain has a content theme, then it would be easier to get separate links for each of them and thus it benefits everyone. It helps user to quickly find/contribute what they are looking for, helps to attract different specific links and pass the value to primary.  If there is no such theme, then all those secondary domain will compete with each other  for mindshare, user contribution and attracting individual links which would make them to achieve high DA, I have similar setup. but instead of separate domains I have multiple subdomains with content categorized by theme. It helps may ways 1) Easier for single sign on. Use logged in one site does not need to log in again on anotyher site. 2) Can attract different types of links 3) easier for segmentation for advertisers.  Not all subdomains can achieve same DA or traffic but it helps overall network by internal linking.

  • The larger the site and the more different kinds of areas to look through such as profile pages, blogs, forums, products, categories, etc will be more expensive as you have to check each for different types of problems.  You can probably glean a few improvements you could make yourself from SEO audit articles, our most recent is here: http://www.theedesign.com/blog/2014/seo-audit-design-doesnt-bring-you-traffic Then of course there is: http://moz.com/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit
