Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Miriam! That was my thinking as well. It feels inauthentic.

You can try by approaching the top brands in your niche to get the high quality and authority link insertion for your website SEO. There are many website examples that doing the same for guest posts.

Hey Brett, Those Content Suggestions are there to show you how other sites are linking (and what anchor text they're using) to rank well. The anchor text is the phrase that site used to link to themselves, so we're suggesting you optimize your content for similar keywords in order to compete in the rankings with those terms. Check out this great link for more information: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-content-marketing/content-ideation Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be more than happy to help!

Ok first you need to check your source code, probably you already did it, if so just ignore this step if not please check your source code using the dev tool of chrome,  the thing is you need to check the HTML of your site. Title and Meta Description Tags. Update your Yoast Plugin based on your comments the source of the problem start with Yoast which honestly is not perfect and it had several issues and bugs recently. Deactive Yoast, Go to your dashboard and deactivate the plugin. Then you need to insert the Title and Meta Descriptions (manually) the tags that you want to insert on a single page and then run a test using the On-page Graderon this way you can determinate if the problem is Yoast or Moz. If you're still having trouble I will suggest you write to Moz support team  help@moz.com

Hi There, I understand your concern and know how it feels when it looks like one has to start from scratch for establishing Domain authority. Whenever a domain is transferred (hoping it was done with utmost care to transfer authority), it takes search engines and other Bots take a couple of weeks or even months to understand that they have to point to the new website for the searched phrases. The reason is that links are re-crawled, and that takes its own sweet time. In the meantime, if you can start working on directly establishing authority for the new domain, it would be a bonus for DA when eventually bots have re-established and re-configured their serps. I hope it helps. Let me know if you have further questions, I will be happy to answer them. Regards, Vj

Hi Phil, Sorry for the slow response to the question - we had a hiccup with the email alerting system and so I wasn't notified as quickly as I should have been. A couple of resources that might help give you context on the general question about sub-domains vs. sub-folders: Video explainer Overview of URLs generally Recent follow-up showing that moving from sub-domain to sub-folder can result in positive movements Having said all of that, given that you reference the fact that technical limitations have caused this situation, it's worth noting that creating the content on a separate sub-domain is clearly better than not creating it at all if those are the pragmatic real-world options on the table. Good luck!

Hi There! I want to be sure I'm correctly understanding your scenario. Is your company a digital-only or a local business? In order to appear in Google's local results you must have: A physical location in the city of search. Make face-to-face contact with your customers. If either of these factors is absent, the business is not meant to appear in the local results. Please, feel free to provide further details so the community can envision your specific scenario.

Do I need to create a campaign to work with free SEO? Well in theory SEO is free but the resources are not free Campaigns are only for paid search with Google Ads, right? I will not recommend you start with Google Ads if you even have a site to rank

Well I will say that Wordfence is just a minimal requirement on the other hands Sucuri offers a good level of security. So I think Wordpress+Sucuri  will give you a good mix.

I would follow the advise from Roman, I tried to access the file via a few ways as well and it doesn't seem to be an issue to load it at all.

This depends upon the nature of your link amendment task. If for example, most of the links are pointing to an old architecture for your site (say your site moved from the HTTP to the HTTPS protocol) then amending the links is better, as it means the link equity won't be diluted through redirects. Even a straight A-to-B 301 redirect loses some equity, though it does a pretty good job of insulation. Usually in this situation your canonical HTTP to HTTPS redirects should be catching those links anyway If you're redirecting links which result in 404s, you can certainly use 301s but unless the content and theme of the destination URL is very similar to the removed page (which now 404s through inbound links) - then not much of the equity will shift across. Certainly it is better to actually get the links amended. My advice is, do as many amends as humanly possible (it is tedious, it will take time). For those who don't respond at all in 2-3 weeks, clean them up with 301s. If they later respond and amend their link, you could then remove that 301 to keep your htaccess file / web.config file nice and clean... Hope that helps

Very useful answer Mike Tekula

Its very simple all depends on how you monetize your blog and how you can drive new traffic to your website. By default migrate to Wordpress will require a dedicated hosting and some hours of maintenance a month and that means money. On the other hands, you will have more and better control over your site. You can apply some advanced SEO optimization Such as schemas, site structure, performance and so on that eventually can generate or increase your income but keep in mind that the migration by itself will not produce any money.

Many digital marketers talk about a duplicate content penalty – but it's actually not a penalty. Google rewards unique content, it doesn't penalize duplicate content. If you are planning to create new sections on your site with content that you already had. You don't have anything to worry as long you present that content in a way that helps users. Let me give you a basic example let assume that you have 30 hotels websites for a specific area. I good way to promote content is to create a list of the best 10 hotels, the best things to do the best restaurants. Probably you know what is TripAdvisor well TripAdvisor is just is a huge database of hotels, restaurant and business related to the tourism. They dynamically create content based on the user reviews. Such as the best thing to do, the best hotels in a specific area, cheap hotels and so on. In that way, they create useful content based on the content that already have

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Our website still has a small amount of SEO authority and I think too much internal links is spreading our equity thin. Having a look at our pages, the blog and product categories are inflating our internal links. I'll see if I can remove these.
