  • Hello Kingalan1, This issue with spammy links from Globe sites has been reported before, here:  The Globe - Spam Link Network. Should action be taken to remove these links? - Moz Q&A forum TL;DR; I wouldn't worry that much for those links as long as you find them spammy probably google will consider them as spam and don't consider them when ranking your page. Only if you consider that those links are hurting your rankings use the disavow tool. Long explanation: On one hand, Google (though their spokesman) said that the algorithm is pretty good finding and diminishing the strength of spammy links. So, if you talk to someone from Google right now, they might said: leave them, probably the algorithm will consider those as spammy and there will be no harm. On the other hand, If you are absolutely sure that those links are spammy and malicious... then go ahead and disavow them. Remember that it's possible to disavow an entire domain. More info here: Disavow backlinks - Search Console Help Hope it helps. Best luck GR

  • Hi Jaun! Typically, a site rebuild is required when: The site isn't performing well due to technical barriers (like it's been built in Flash and can't be indexed properly) The site isn't usable by humans (for example, it doesn't render properly for mobile users) The site isn't usable by the business (like there is no CMS for the business to use to build out content on the website without having to have help from a third party) Did the company that audited your website specify any of these problems in their recommendations or are you experiencing any of these issues? Did they provide details about what they meant by "modern standards"?

  • Do you have the correct amphtml tag and the reference back to your canonical? Yes It would be great if you share the default code, will check with ours and try to fix it out.

  • Hello and thanks for your help. Old sites are different locations of the same company-each is between 5-20 pages each. We are merging them because we feel the user is better served by having one site with multiple locations in one central spot. We are updating all of the content-for almost every page. Thanks!

  • Take a look at this post on Moz - https://moz.com/blog/seo-changes-using-google-tag-manager. Also, take a look at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/tag-manager/Ilxks3tQKrg. Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing this via GTM. Noindex and Schema specially. They are both important for SEO and are better off done via the CMS.

  • thanks Dmitrii - It always seems to make things simpler if devs sticks to my guidance on JS - ensuring all links (inc menus) and all static text is visible whether JS is switched on or off - sadly, the often miss this bit!

  • Firsts your need to keep in mind that Google and Bing use a different algorithm and that means they use different evaluation methods to try to get the best results. I have been checking your site, based on my experience one of the accurate ways to measure the performance of a site is by checking the Trust flow  (basically measure how many of the sites on your neighborhood are pointing to your site)  so matter how many links you have or the DA what matters is how many of them belong to your niche. MOZ  - DA -17 Ahrefs - UR 25 Ahrefs  ----- DR 2.1 Majestic --- TF 1 As you will notice your domain rating and trust flow are too low. So basically you have links pointing to your site but they are not passing any value. So I will suggest you to start to work on building a link profile Regards

  • We are tracking our site with a Moz campaign and have recently updated the site with significantly more info and quite a few more pages. Should we delete the existing campaign and start a new one? Thanks!

  • Hi Tyler, This is a minor issue, but still an issue. You should be consistent in your sitemap file as on what you want google to index. There will be no penalty or whatever in an SEO perspective. What can suffer is crawling in your site due to: 1- GoogleBot has a "limited" time/resources for each site, wasting time in redirections may cause that part of your site not being crawled 2- If many redirections are held, GoogleBot might leave instead of having more time/resources for that crawl. There has been said that GoogleBot gives up in the 5th hop (video with matt cuts explaining it) Hope it helps. Best luck GR
