Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You have two issues here. 1. Interlinking site sis never a good idea with a dofollow links, so I would look at that. But it is not an issue if its nofollow. 2. Googlebot only crawls from the US and will only every crawl the US site if you send all US ip's to the US site. I would use hreflang on your site. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en Otherwise you will confuse Google and possibly get a cloaking issue on the site. Also look at the canonical tag https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394 AND https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en&ref_topic=2370587

I do not have a need currently, I was just curious because I may need to upgrade soon and was trying to make sense of the pricing structure. Thanks for the clarification!

Hi Auke, Yes, unfortunately you'll need to disconnect and reconnect those GA accounts in Moz Analytics as well. Thanks, Jen

Hi Zulfiqar You do not say what type of site you have, i.e. what you site is about, but I am guessing a site about IT recruitment? It will be important for you to build a site with pages containing good unique content about the search terms you want to be found for and other things like that, but don't get too hooked into tactics and techniques. Think about the people you want to find your site and what they are looking for and the questions they may have. That should drive the type of pages and content you create. Yes, Moz videos will be a good start for you in the Moz Academy and also read Moz's Beginner's Guide to SEO. Both will give you a good kickstart into what you want to be able to do. Good luck to you, Peter

Hi there! Depending on what happened (perhaps the account was suspended?), the campaigns probably just got archived. In order to fix it, follow these steps: Go to your Campaigns section: http://pro.moz.com/campaigns At the top of the page there is a "Archived Campaigns" Tab, give it a click. From here, you should easily be able to "activate" your campaigns. Let me know if that helps! Jen

I would really like to learn on how to identify businesses pain points in general. What kind of questions are they asking , what kind of solutions are they looking for. How can seo help me with this? thanks.

Hi Saijo, Are you still having this problem? If so, please send a message to our Help Team at http://moz.com/help/contact and they will look into it. Thanks for your patience. It's great to have you in our Community Thanks, Christy

Do you mean the link in the description? Or the overlays if you're partner? I don't see any reason why you can't put a 301 on either, but why not just link to the actual site itself?

This is the link you're looking for http://youtubecreator.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/using-google-page-identity-on-youtube.html It's a bit convoluted, but it does work. First step is getting the YouTube account added as a "Manager" of the Company G+ account

thanks Matthew

Here's the only correct answer to this question: "Nobody knows". According to Google, you need to identify your manipulative links, disavow or preferably remove them and then wait for a Penguin refresh.  However, they've never been clear on whether removing is necessary.  John Mueller hinted in a hangout that disavowing was the same as manually removing but then he went on to say that it could be better to manually remove. I have seen some sites make some sort of recovery with Penguin, but the scary reality is that very few do.  In order to recover you need to have a good base of natural links (not self made, but earned) and also be able to attract new links in the future.  And, you need to do an extremely thorough job on cleaning up your link profile. "we are looking to keep our domain but create a new site to disavow all our links. " - If you start up a new site on the same domain then you'll still have all of the same bad backlinks that got you into Penguin trouble so you won't be any further ahead.  EDIT:  That is, assuming that most of your links point to your home page.  If you have bad links pointing to inner pages then you can change those urls and effectively remove those bad links.  But, in most cases the bad links are pointing to the home page and those can't be removed by changing the site.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the feedback.  You're probably right that testing the waters is not worth the potential long-term implications.  This certainly helps. Regards, Mike

As somebody who just finished building a scholarship program that I must say for outweighs the SEO benefits and honestly that is how it should be. The scholarship they should not be based on what we can get out of it. Having said that doing the right thing sometimes does have its rewards. in the 15 days since this has begun I am over the moon in how we are able to help people as well as our clients from my point of view right now it is a win-win. All the best, Thomas

Hi Steffany, I realized that the total number of keywords on the first page of my weekly reports outnumber the total number of keywords because there are three search engines tracking keywords.

http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguintool/ offers a cool overlay of your organic traffic.. and offers a good insight to see how you were effected by each known update. Now from recovering. This will cost you money but you can recover in less then 2 weeks in my experience but its going to cost you about $600 in just tools plus about 300 or so in link removals. http://www.linkresearchtools.com/products-overview/ - you need the superhero plan. Looking here they have a October sale which saves you a little over 100 bucks. Cool so there is 400 bucks. Next: http://www.rmoov.com/ go get this for a month. Its a 100 bucks. Now what you want to do is go through and run their detox tool. Get the ones that are not indexed and the toxic ones. Open up both excel spreadsheets and copy the pages that are linking to you. Open a new excel sheet remove duplicate rows or if you want to do it quick you can just use http://textmechanic.com/Remove-Duplicate-Lines.html Next you take your list of URLs and run that through rmoov. Next it will do its thing go through the campaign settings and check Add Report Back Link to Webmaster Email & FlipFlop Emails. FlipFlop Emails basically sends one time to one email for that domain if it found more then one - it will send next time to that one. Once it finds all the contact information what you want to do next is go through and enter the campaign. There is a Show Problems checkbox. See what ones are missing contact info. Some of these are going to be tough to find so you will have to delete some of them but; please.. take your time and try to find out who it is. Sometimes its just as doing a whois again.. and you will see that they have a name or another domain you can google to dig deeper. Now what you're going to want to do is go through each one of these and make sure there are no bad links here.. just make a triple spot check and qualify them. Sometimes the most I had to remove 4 or 5 but Im glad I did. Sometimes you will find that the links it found was just a different view of the same link. So you can just go there and clean it up. Next what you want to do is send out the campaign email. What this basically does is sends out a email every single day to these guys until they remove it. I found that sometimes the webmaster doesnt even reply but just deletes them and if it goes though and sees that its a deadlink, win. You will get people asking from 3 bucks to 25.. I found that saying: if I disavow you - it doesnt help One guy just raised the price. Just pay them. I found a lot of people who have these directory networks and he found 1000s of directory links he could remove. That can get costly - I just make a note ( rmoov has a good note taker for each site ) and if they want 3000 bucks, screw them, disavow and thanks for the list. After you run that for a week. Take the clean disavow and upload that. Next - run that campaign again and while thats running you can submit your notes in your reconsideration requests. I talked to so and so, I paid this and this is when. I even add paypal transaction ids. The next thing you can do is when your replying to the web masters is use the note system in rmoov, and when they remove it, and you check, click the link thats in the email which reports back to rmoov that its removed. Now - I see that once you submit your reconsideration request it takes about 8 business days to get back. Everytime I do this ( more then once ) I get a email saying the manual action has been revoked. Now that you have a list of what links you removed. Right? Now Im sure you have a link indexing service or a tool that does it.. run that to the ones thats been removed. Im not sure how much this step helps but we all know that the disavow list that you have it takes some time for google-bot to run through this and recheck and do what it does. So to speed up a speedy recovery, I do that. At the end of the day, end your subscription with rmoov and just let it run for the rest of the month and you may get people mad and they just remove the links so you stop emailing them. So keep a eye on the email and you can get some more wins from it. This got a little too long. Im sorry. When you do something so many times its easy to talk about.

I agree! Thank you for your response. I wanted to make sure I gave an appropriate answer.
