Organic and Paid
Hi, First of all I would like to make it very clear that paid campaign doesn't help in improve organic ranking. Second thing yes it is true that if you are running paid campaign overall goal conversion will go up , you will get more searches on branded keyword, organic conversion will also goes up because many users first click the ad and later on visit website by clicking on organic listing in next visit. Paid channel influence other channels significantly e.g direct traffic, branded traffic, organic conversion* Thanks .

Geo-target .ag domain?
Sorry to tell you, .ag is not a recognized generic TLD. If you put your site on a ccTLD (country specific TLD), you cannot change the targeting to something outside of that country. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399?hl=en That link as a list of ccTLDs that they see as generic like .io, but .ag is not one of them. You will need to use a different TLD, a generic one, for your plan to work.

Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
Hi Harini, Jo from the Moz help team here. I've had a look at your site and it looks like there is something server side that is blocking our bot. When I try to cURL your site from our internal tool I'm getting a 302 to http://127.0.0.1 https://screencast.com/t/J3hhDTCM I'm also seeing this message in this third party tool. "The robots.txt file does not exist on this domain (302 redirect to http://127.0.0.1)" All this points to something server side that is initiating a 302 redirect for our bot. While your site looks fine in the browser, our bot simply can't get through. I would recommend reaching out to your host or web developer to see if they can check how your server is treating rogerbot/1.2 You can also ask them to check the server logs to see how your server is responding to rogerbot/1.2 You'll also want to make sure you are not blocking AWS (Amazon Web Services). Best of luck! Jo

CSS and Javascipt files - website redesign project
Hey there, One thing is for sure - js and css files have no value to your site's SEO. If your site is looking good and working well under the new design there's no point in worrying about this. Good luck!!

Why only 3 Competitors in Campaigns?
Hi there! Thanks so much for the great question! Unfortunately adding more than 3 competitors to a campaign is outside the tool's capability at this time however you can definitely create an additional campaign for the same website and track 3 other competitors that way. Another tool you may be able to use (depending on the type of data you're looking for) is Open Site Explorer. If you're interested in seeing competitive link data, OSE gives you the option to compare up to 5 sites in the Competitive Link Metrics section. Hope this gives you some tools to use in your research! If you need anything else, please feel free to send a quick note to help@moz.com

AMP - The what, why and how of it
Hi Ruchy, I've answered your questions below: Risks involved: Most obvious is that you're duplicating your pages and therefore you'll need to make sure you correctly indicate that these are AMP versions of your regular content. There is also a risk that because the page loads in the search result, you'll see less traffic directly to your site - but usually (at least for publishers) this is worth it nonetheless because the impressions are higher (due to being featured in the news carousel at the top of the SERP). the best ways to implement it: Depends on your existing setup. If you have a custom CMS, get your dev team to build it into the next iteration of the CMS. If you use Wordpress, you can use a WP plugin - Yoast has a good post about this: https://yoast.com/wordpress-amp-part-ii/ why it is worth it: It may not be. Definitely worthwhile for publishers or sites which publish content for Google News. For other types of site, I would recommend checking whether AMP is a common feature for your primary keywords, and decide accordingly. Also worth it if you're seeing a loss of general traffic and suspect it is due to AMP being more present in search. As James notes, it can help with pagespeed but that's not enough of a reason to do it. Are there any specific questions I should ask a potential developer, or information he should be aware of? Has he/she done this before? Can they provide working examples? Do they understand how to make sure it's showing up as AMP rather than purely duplicate content? Are they familiar with what elements are supported and unsupported? Are they able to also implement relevant structured data markup? is there a way for it it be done for pages that have more than just text like quote forms, sliding headers etc.? Should we only do it for the blog section of our site? You can add things like video, forms etc but bear in mind that the goal is to be as minimalist as possible, so any sort of fancy design element will likely not be supported. I would focus on implementing on news or other types of content which currently display AMP results in the SERP.

Faceted Navigation & SEO
Hi James, sorry I know we have another similar thread going about this! Not harsh at all - it's something I don't know enough about so need to brush up on. I will do some research on caching mechanisms. Why won't any of my other SEO matter? Becky
