  • I read a post by bings Duane Forrester where he explained that they will lose trust in your site map if it has errors more then 2%. all entries should return status code 200, no 404's or redirects. He also said that you should not include all pages, just places where you want bing to start crawling from, or where you want to discover links.

  • Bear in mind Patrick, you need to be careful with keyword cannibalisation with titling inner pages like this. If many of your pages have 'City Web Design' in the title there could be conflict with the page that you are targeting that term for (usually the home page).  I would avoid this myself on pages such as About Us, Contact, News, Blog, etc. and probably  just something like use: About Us | Company Name

  • Interesting, thanks for your insight as always EGOL. Upon further research I have found a few double listings but they have been for specific software and the double listings are of the developer's domain. So that makes sense to me. Either way it seems the algo is making exceptions for certain domains depending on keyword and their authority to the actual search term.

  • Vince, We also use Serpbook, which is a great tool. We also leverage the Moz Ranking area in Moz Analytics to track keywords. There are a lot of tools out there and Rank Tracker is something we are looking into. Do you recommend that in your experiences? Would love to know your thoughts on that software overall if you use the whole Suite of their products. Cheers! - Patrick

  • I stick with one page, and use the terms interchangeably within the text itself and use the more frequently searched word as the keyword in urls and title tags.

  • Hi all! Just wanted to let you know that this was due to an SSO issue that we ran into. Our Developers pushed out a fix though so everything should be good to go. Apologies for the inconvenience and hope you all have a great day! Best, Sam Moz Helpster

  • Hi all! We discovered a secondary issue with the SSO tokens earlier today. The two symptoms associated with it is either being stuck in a redirect loop or being logged out when switching between Moz and OSE. A preliminary fix has been deployed that should cover most of the effected customers. Our Developers are working on a follow-up that should fix it for everyone else. There's no ETA on that as of now, but they're all-hands on it so it shouldn't be too much longer. Sorry about this! Best, Sam Moz Helpster

  • The problem is not that they outrank me, but that my site disappears from the search results. No we did not get spam links from any sex sites, we do however have a lot of links from our other sites (same C block). The traditional spamy links were not used...

  • With the help of a designer. The slides in the example you pointed are images. You need someone creative with decedent skills in a graphics editing program like Photoshop and after the images are made you use any slideshow creation software to transform them into a presentation.

  • Askives is one of those sites that appears on the backlink profile of almost every site I audit.  I put it in a category I call "not seo made" and just ignore it.  A good number of those Chinese and Russian sites are the same too.  You'll find a bunch that look like this.  They often have "alexa" in the url: http://alexa.chinaz.com/ I don't disavow those or try to remove them.  Google is most interested in the links that are self made in an attempt to boost rankings. Now, there are some Russian sites that I come across in link profiles that just have random spun text and anchor texted links.  For those, attempt to contact and if you can't find contact information, share that in your Google Docs spreadsheet so that the webspam team can see that you tried and then disavow it. Good luck!
