Welcome to the Q&A Forum

anyone ?

Hi, A few reciprocal links shouldn't be a problem but I'd only do them if it makes sense from a human point of view and if it adds something for the users of your site. Put them in the place on your site that makes the most sense. A fishing gear shop may well link to fishing books and that would make sense. It's nice to be able to send traffic to another site that also send relevant traffic to you. Lots of reciprocal links and links that are done for perceived SEO purposes (and not for the users of your site) should be avoided. A link to another site could come across as endorsing it so make sure you are hooking up with reputable companies that you know and trust, not just ones that rank well.

Hi Najia-ali, When i look at your onpage optimisation it all looks good.  but when i analised the the keyword difficulty for sign boards in Indie ,one of the main keywords i think the site is targeting, you have very strong competition, several sites with domain authority over 80 whilst the site of your client has DA of 6. The fact that only one backlink to the site is showing in moz isn´t so strange as they don´t have the same size index as Google.  The high authority competition you are up against though would suggest you need to work on your link profile and inserting the site in directories will not be enough. To get link from high authority sites will not be a easy and quick fix and usually takes time to build, i am talking about things like content creation, guest blogging, testemonials, promotion, outreach etc...).  A lot has written about this like  https://moz.com/blog/the-10-golden-rules-to-attracting-authority-links,  https://nichehacks.com/build-niche-backlinks/ or https://neilpatel.com/blog/11-ways-to-get-authority-links-for-your-new-blog/ among many other articles. Sorry dont think there´s an easy fix for this

Yes is only available on Ads Manager or Business Manager

Thank you, I have advised my coworkers and our client that we will not be implementing this solution as it stands on the website. I normally bring a lot of hard data with me when I need to fight back against something like this, but was a bit short this time around. I just may frame your description for assessing risk and hang it up over my desk. Cheers!

Hello, Looking at schema.org and Google, neither specify a certain number or reviews are required before integrating aggregate rating structured data.That being said, we usually start with a few reviews before integrating aggregate rating markup. Whitespark actually has a good guide for integrating this. Hope this helps.

Hi  eduapps, Did you find Roman's detailed response helpful? If so, please mark it as a "Good Answer." Thanks! Christy

Hi romaro, From my understanding, using these tags as part of a mobile XML sitemap is not necessary and in fact, Google don't recommend having a separate mobile sitemap: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-mobile-sitemaps-20137.html Instead, for a dynamically served site, the important things are: Use the Vary HTTP header to signal your changes depending on the user-agent. Detect user-agent strings correctly. You can read more about Google's guidelines for dynamic serving here: https://developers.google.com/search/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/dynamic-serving

Dan, do you recommend using AMP for the 'in depth' article spots?

I would suggest using apostrophes where/if grammatically correct. It depends on the individual sentence whether you would use an apostrophe. Lawyers = plural of lawyer Lawyer's = singular of lawyer, to show possession Lawyers' = plural of lawyer, to show possession

If you can share the site I'll look to see if there is markup on the page that is causing this so you can identify what to remove.

Yes there is no problem with that, in fact redirect to a list of sitemaps, you can make the test

I made the test with site: store.yurbuds.com site: http://store.yurbuds.com With different results, but to the the point there's a clone of your site This part is sometimes hard to understand because your site is being affected but not compromised. There is no need for a compromise for this kind of attack to work. The website that is stealing your results is the one that is compromised. Let’s take a look at a few ways that we have to prevent and/or fix this. Make use of the rel=canonical tag within each page. Contact the owner of the compromised website. Find the WHOIS information for the cloned site. Set-up a Google alert. Block requests from the cloned site. Report copied content to Google.

Hi  Cesare Marchetti, Thanks for you question.  I think there are several things to consider here: are you the only one appearing on adwords for these keywords or are there other competitors as well.  If latter is the case you would simply be loosing potential business to your competitors as 20 - 30% of the users click on adwords (these are the ones left over after the 70% - 80% that never click on ads) for commercial terms. Different people with different intent, devices, place etc.. will click on different results so i would like to dominate the serp as much as possible so i can cater to those, and adwords would just be one of those results.  This way i think i can maximize the results and return. But these are mostly empirical assumptions to really test this objectively is almost impossible as there are many factores influencing results.  like you said seasonality, competitores, positions you have in the serp based on device, location, time etc... You could stop adverting adwords for one month for one of the keywords, compare how results were for this keyword compared the other keywords (and compare that to how they would compare in previous months), ajust for seasonality based on historic monthly results. But there can still be other factors incluencing the results. Hope this helps and give you some perspectives on the issue, althouhg i don´t think this is completely what you were looking for (and if somebody does know a way to test this i would be very interested)

Hi Robin, There's no indication Google is having any trouble picking up the separate URLs and their associated Titles and Descriptions properly - a site: search for your domain returns all pages I'm able to find manually, and each page has a unique and accurate Title and Description snippet. ReactJS is one of the most commonly used JS platforms, with a lot of momentum in the development community especially on high-traffic sites, and Google has innovated their crawl tech to include JS-support (they crawl with a headless version of Google Chrome) to adapt to this platform. "View Source" is no longer valid for interpreting page code as Google will render it - they crawl with JS support, so JS interactions and modifications of source code are visible to Google. Using "Inspect Element" in Chrome shows a more accurate representation of what Google can crawl/render. In short: I see no negatives for SEO here, and I expect at this point your analytics and Search Console data will show that your pages are indexed and eligible for traffic (potentially already getting traffic) from Google. Best, Mike

ok Thank you!!

Google is becoming a better webmaster and making more money from their website. In addition, google is placing more features in the SERPs that cause you to view more pages on Google.  Much of the "heat" in the "algorithm" weather reports is actually Google tweaking the UI... and SEOs are not smart enough to know the difference.   They are so intent on "watching the tools" that they don't know that Google is subtly grabbing a little turf here and a little turf there.

Most if not all PR sites are now nofollow links so won't help directly your ranking. However,, like James said, the PR may send traffic to your site which can help.
