Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Gaston.  Anyone have any input regarding SSL certificates and submitting various url versions to Google Search Console. My certificate is only for a single url so should this be the site that I specify to GSC. Volusion does not allow wild card or multi-site ssl certificates. I'm a little confused as to what is the best way to proceed. The older non secured url version is the one with a long analytics history.

It is highly unprofessional that we can't find a way for clients to be able to manage their own campaign and not see our others, on our account.  Surely there is a way by now?

Hello there, Actually if used correctly, content syndication can be an effective way to help your site ranking, I'm assuming you have a main blog that you want to syndicate the content on it's to other blogs with different groups of visitors, so ultimately they might visit your main blog from that syndicated blog post. There are some things you can do on syndicated posts such as canonical, noindex, etc. You can read on this 2 post which explains each method in details: https://searchengineland.com/syndicated-content-189097 https://neilpatel.com/blog/the-step-by-step-guide-to-syndicating-content-without-screwing-up-your-seo/ Hope this helps Joseph Yap

Hi. Assuming that you've set up a campaign (you have to, in order to get access, no need to be active one). Starting point: Click the wrench icon on your upper right side. under "tools" and select "Keyword planner". 1. Click "Get search volume and forecasts".  2. Enter any keyword and click "Get started".  3. To view rough keyword search data, click "historical metrics". Hope this helps /DL

Hi All, I will just give you all a quick update. I am more confused then when I first started!! I am telling my team from now if it's on the first page already we don't touch the keyword. Of course other keywords may also be trying to rank for the same page on page 2, so it's going to be a tricky one, I have just done a quick experiment on a ecommerce page the keyword was on page 6, the changes I did yesterday made it go to page 7, further tweaks made it go to page 9!! This is mental! I am using Ryte to make sure semantics are mentioned, maybe using this tool and getting the averages that each keyword and related keyword is mentioned, is not the best idea. But without a guide how do we know what to optimise for? I will give it a week as Nigel above said and see what happens. At least I know resetting to their original values before we started for any keywords that have declined will work. Regards Neil

Thanks for the answers. Beside keyword, I believe that we can at least give our brand name.

Hi Will The only problem I see here is why you are writing these articles in the first place. It's not uncommon for an eCommece site to write helpful articles about problem-solving then offer a solution by adding a link to one of their products or services. If the article is well written and optimised then it makes sense that if ranked for a particular problem the addition is a link could drive traffic to your money pages. However, equally valid is you building a reputation for problem-solving without trying to sell at every opportunity. We SEOs post on MOZ, in forums, in our own Facebook groups and other places, but very rarely will you see a direct contextual link back to our services. Building a reputation takes time and effort and it needs to be done gently without feeling the necessity to sell a product or service at any opportunity. The upshot is that I would temper this activity. Produce genuinely interesting and useful content and your reputation will grow. People will then want to follow you because you offer sound advice. If one in four articles have internal links then cool, but presumably if they are on your site reading your stuff they are aware that you sell as well. Retail sites can be really bad at this - blog post after blog post just sharing products - complete waste of time, they never rank and only work for email purposes, well you know what - stick them in an email - tell your acolytes but don't clog up the site with tosh. Anyway that's my spin - if you try and oversell you can end up not selling - people get bored very quickly and a post with buy-me written all over it is doomed to fail. Cheers Nigel

The responses here are great. I think you should have all of the resources you need now. Although it doesn't show domains that link to you, I also like to see the ones that are hosted on the same server, which you can find here: https://viewdns.info/reverseip/ . I agree that Google Search Console and Moz are great places to start.

Thank you for your answers, that answers my question.

Thanks a lot to you both!

No problem

The thing about this website game regardless of it's intent and mechanism of monetization you have to be capable of not looking at things in terms of time and deadlines, goals. You plant a seed the seed will grow. If you don't water it, it will die. Unfortunately, unlike trees, you can't guarantee nor approximate  when and how much fruit it's going to bring in for your harvest if you ever even get that far. One day, one step at a time, what is it you can do today, to improve the size, and quality of your site. Do the same thing the next day. There is no "My website is complete" It is a certainty the better quality content and design, the better quality and visit times/quantities will be for you. The more content and pages, the more possibilities and reasons for visitors to appear. Until you have 20 really solid amazing pieces of content on your site, don't stray or go link building. Because what will be the point? The first time it occurs if you take everyone here's advice it will most likely be MUCH quicker than it took me, because I resisted making content as long as humanely possible like an idiot but this occurence is amazing! You'll eventually produce something Google thinks is godly. That content could literally be relevant amongst some ridiculously tough key phase, it will just seemingly skyrocket to the first page like it belonged there from the beginning of time and was nailed firmly in place! It's crazy encountering it because you see so often the times in which Google is letting the most ridiculous events occur and make no sense of it. But then their algorithm will unexpectedly do something brilliant, genuinely rewarding you for your hard work! Don't get used to it!  It is rare! but it happens

Glad it help

HI Adam, Thanks for reaching out. I'm afraid this isn't currently a feature available with Moz Pro, sorry. ​If there is anything else I can help you with please do let me know. Cheers! Jo

Update here. Long story short, you need to upgrade to All-in-One SEO Pack Pro to allow translation of meta fields. Our implementation is somewhat complicated, with the aim being to make the workflow for our translators as easy as possible. We use a self-hosted server running Weblate to manage string translation (both for our websites and for our product). On the Wordpress site we use a customised version of the WPML plugin. Things got complicated when exporting strings from WPML and importing to Weblate – talking to the sys admin who implemented it, the meta fields from All-in-One SEO were even trickier to get working. In any case, all working now Keep any eye out for our site update coming soon here: https://vivaldi.com If anyone out there runs into this issue and needs details feel free to get in touch.

Thank you very much!!!!

Hi There, The duplicity of keywords can be due to meta tags and their usage. Please share the code of the website if possible. Best Regards, Vijay

Thank you, Nigel Carr! My first reaction looking at your answer was "No, wait.. you got it wrong", then I realized the beauty of it's simplicity. You're right. Simple does it Have a good weekend!
