Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Cool question, the answer is already given and is NO. Google is rolling out the bigger algorithmic updates per region or per country. For example the first version(s) of the Panda update were only released for the regions speaking English. After that they deployed it to several european countries to see what the influence was there. In the end after a couple of months they deployed it worldwide. I couldn't find it that fast but I thought there was also a video from Matt Cutts explaining that some elements of the algorithm only work for specific countries.

Nah, it doesn't matter. It's still the same as when you put it at the end.

Your homepage contains very little content and Google loves content. I would either look to add some more content or I would create the page http://tastebuds.fm/ meet-people and focus on that page going into more depth about actually meeting people and how the whole systems works to help achieve the goal of meeting people. This will reinforce the objective of the site and offer a nice amount of juicy content for Google to dig through.

Wow, Dr Pete replied to my question! Thank you - and, actually, thanks to everyone who took the time to post. UPDATE... Since my last posts, I have actually moved forward a little. I did have an audit undertaken by someone that specialises in traffic drops. It transpires that it's not very clear cut - definitely not entirely a clear link-based penalty situation - and the indications are that it's probably Panda with a touch of Penguin. Upshot is, I'm having the site redesigned to minimise duplicate/thin content issues (and generally improve the user experience) and I have engaged someone to do the link removal outreach/disavow. Still early days, but now I have some kind of game plan, I feel a little more optimistic. TBH, I'm still a little wary about the link removal/disavowal process, but we'll see... I had such varying quotes for this work, it's crazy. And, still need to crystallise in my mind how I'm going to earn new links.

You can use Twitter + FollowerWonk or Google (the search engine) + custom queries. You can type things like these on Google to find potential guest posting opportunities: "keyword" + "guest post" "keyword" + "write for us" "keyword" + "submit your post" etc. You might be interested: http://findmyblogway.com/finding-guest-post-opportunities/ (discusses about some unique ways)

I am but there are issues, WMT has some serious issues few people know about. When you download your latest links and compare it with the previous one (lets say two weeks apart), now check the same date for example 1st June. The links will be different! For some reason a vast majority of dates will have different links. So if your file is like mine and has 16,000+ links, going through them and working out dofollw/nofollow/notfound is hell on earth to do even once a month. Google does not want you to recover. If they did they would give you some assistance in this matter, instead they direct you to ahrefs and majestic etc.. That do not have as all the links either and leave room for mistakes. If they wanted you to clean up the mess you or seo agencies made then why not give us the tools to do so and we would all get a good job done. Anyway I don't want to hijack your question with my rant LOL

Hi Yossey Frutiko provided a great discussion that would explain any drops if you are using OSE. If you are referring to pages crawled in your campaign. Your crawl diagnostics will provide you with any errors that could explain a drop. Primarily if you are re-directing your domain, or have robots.txt blocking. These would cause a drop in pages. If you need direct assistance, feel free to reach out to us through our contact page http://moz.com/help/contact Hope this helps!

Hi all, thanks for your comments.  Looks like it wouldn't do any harm if I had a small brand logo placed on each image.  Will have a think and probably just go for it. Thanks.

Hi Jan Unfortunately, we currently don't have a way to export rankings with labels. I'm really sorry about that. I know this functionality would be helpful for other customers, as well, so I would recommend submitting a feature request to our forum to add an export by specific keyword labels in the rankings report. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests You can add your request to add exporting by keyword labels and vote for other features you'd like to see, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I have adsense on niche sites that are on same topic as small portions of much larger sites. I don't see any problem at all with adsense.

Thanks for the help guys, but ......... Well maybe I left out a few important pieces of information, because we need more accurate information. First we are not on a shared server, and don't use c panel. We are on a stand alone server. We don't use GoDaddy for anything other than that's where the domain name was purchased, so they currently have the DNS record pointer. We are running our website alone on a windows server enterprise 2007 edition. So even though EnvoyWeb above provided a detailed answer, those directions don't work under our edition of windows server. Any incite? Please?

Thanks guys for your help, i appreciate it.

I, also, would like these reports for all my clients, however I can't seem to set it up for more than one account, when we have like 30 in our Analytics. I know how to create and schedule custom reports in analytics itself - the OP's Snapshot picture is completely different than that. The Analytics Web Performance Report (formerly Snapshot) seems to be a 'Google thang'. In Analytics, click the gear icon and go to "user settings". There, you can set your communications settings. To receive this report,  tick the radio button to receive "Performance Suggestions and Updates". If you attempt to navigate to any other account within analytics, you can't access "user settings" for that account - only for your parent gmail account. So far, the only way I see to set this up is to set up each client with their own gmail account, add that to the parent analytics account, and set each client's new analytics communications settings individually within their account using the "user settings' under the gear icon. Has anyone found a better solution?

Hello Zouhour, we found out last week that a lot of members that are seeing this error don't need that message at the top. We are working on removing this now. You will notice in most cases the traffic is still collecting regardless of that pesky message at the top. We apologize for the inconvenience and I assure you the message will disappear soon.

_If I have some inbound links pointing to www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com and some pointing to MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com, I would think that this rewrite isn't necessary as it would seem that Googlebot is smart enough to know that these aren't two sites. _ Absolutely NOT, unfortunately. Search engines specifically consider these two versions of the URLS to be two totally different sites. The redirect rule you currently have is specifically in place to correct this problem so the two versions of your site (in the eyes of the engines) aren't competing with each other. The previous developer knew what he was doing. Leave the redirect as-is. Just be careful that all links you create use the primary version of the URL - you'll retain a bit more "link juice" that way than having them go through the redirect. (i.e. always write links as www.my-customer-site.com/whatever for links in content, menus, incoming links where possible) Paul P.S. For proof that search engines consider those URLs different sites, Google's own Webmaster Tools has a setting where you can tell Google which version of the site URL you want to be primary. Much better to do this with a proper 301-redirect though so that you can tell ALL search engines, not just Google.

Hi David Great experiment! lol...Thanks for sharing and yes this is what I was looking for. Have you tried removing the keyword " Gareth Hoyle" from the title to see if it still ranks? Ok I also wonder if this still would have worked if your domain authority was a bit lower.. Thanks for sharing Carla
