Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You are welcome. I got very valuable help on this platform lately and I am going to use it even more in the future.

Thank you for your answer Cesare, I don't want Google to see and rate it as an independent website.... It's just to make a clear seperation between the two services. The services have differens pricings, different How it works-pages etc. So when you are in the import-zone, and you click on Pricing, you will see a page with the pricingof our import-service.... I'm sorry... struggling a bit to explain it in English. Looking forward to hear from more people!

Lots of companies do this.   On their media page they link to third party coverage of their work. Your situation is kinda the reverse.  You are showing where your authorship has landed.  I don't see anything wrong with it - unless it is done at scale... but I am not Google.

Thank you for your quick and detailed reply. It confirms what I thought.

Cesare has provided an excellent answer here IMO, I like the suggestions for other markups to target. I also strongly agree with finding a plugin to implement this markup, it will save you a lot of time. In addition to his answer, here are a few other resources that I feel will help: BreadcrumbList Schema Page: Find information on the different properties that you can include with this particular markup as well as an example that you can model your breadcrumb schema off of. Structured Data Testing Tool: Use this tool to validate that your schema markup is free of errors. Hope these help!

I guess it makes sense to have the images indexed, especially if in your context images could appear as search results. If not it won't hurt either. Google will be able to find your images through the links to your images when you use them in your blog posts. Add a keyword to the ALT of your image, i would also take care of the file name (same or another keyword?). I wouldn't use the same keyword in the title tag of the image again in order not to overdue it. You could even have the images added to your sitemap so Google would be able to find them for sure. But honestly if images usually don't appear as **search results **I wouldn't go so far. Hope this helps. Cheers, Cesare

Hi Brit, Interesting question! So I'd frame my answer in two parts: It would be an idea to deploy Google Analytics code to both domains to give a better idea of what people are actually doing on your site, rather than seeing lots of bounces. If the login portal isn't being tracked then there is the potential that those are actual bounces and not log ins. Tom Capper wrote a post about setting up multiple domain tracking here. If what you are seeing _are _logins then that shouldn't be affecting search traffic volume. Google monitors for users going to your site, then immediately going back to search results and clicking on something else, as a sign that they weren't satisfied with your site as a result. Google can't monitor what users do on non-Google sites and even if they did the fact that some users are going straight to somewhere else isn't necessarily a sign that your site isn't giving them what they want (in this case you're potentially giving them exactly what they want). On the other hand, if what you are seeing as bounces are actually users leaving your site and going back to search results then that could impact search traffic for the reasons above. So rather than considering domain moves, a good first step would probably be tying up those Analytics properties so you're tracking movement the same way your users are experiencing it, that way you can tell if you actually have a problem. I hope that helps, do come back if you'd like more information

Yes, it was a bad decision to hire a website design company. I have since taken the site away and built it on a custom platform.

Hello Alejandro, Remove the automatic GEO IR redirect and be sure that you have the hreflang tag correctly set up. Let google figure out the internationalization and index the correct site for each language and country. Take a look at these articles, it might help you: International checklist - Moz Blog Using the correct hreglang tag - Moz Blog Guide to international website expansion - Moz Blog Tool for checking hreflang anotations - Moz Blog Hope it helps.

Never experienced and heard this before. In first sounds like a scam, then I have gone through many online communities to ask this. I found that yeah Google does calling for verification of your local addresses.

Ruchy, Yeap it might had helped for a few weeks. But internal links from your site are not the only way to crawl all your pages. Remember that there may be other sites linking other pages. B- Absolutely, adding noindex will help. There is no way to know for sure how long will it take, give it a few weeks. Also, it could help removing manually all those pages with the Google Search Console, as Logan said. Hope it helps!. GR

I can tell you what we do. With over 35 000 posts we are always tweaking the better ones and dropping the dead weight. I'm currently going through a bunch of posts from 2010. I run two quick tests on them - I check the PA [page authority] on Moz. If it's 1 then that's one strike, anything higher I consider working on the post. Next is a quick check in Google Analytics for traffic over the past 6 months. As you can imagine many posts from 7 years ago have 0 traffic. This is strike 2 and in my ballpark, 2 strikes means 'you're out!'. I delete the posts, a hard 404. As we cut the driftwood from our nets I feel we will be more efficient  at catching more fish.

Hi Issac, To your 1st point: "Google says it does not use GA as a way of measuring user behavior.  Regarding GA, do you just mean we should use it provide **us **insight that Google will 'pick up' in others ways?" Yes, this is a more succinct way of putting it. While GA metrics are not the be-all, end-all of algorithmic rankings, they do go a long way in explaining why certain sites/pages/content outperform others in SERP's. I know that improving my "time on page" or "bounce rate" has resulted in higher rankings for various pieces of content I have created, although with so many factors in play it can be hard to narrow it down that far. To your 2nd point: That's how I choose to operate. I have found that reducing internal links is a good start when it comes to improving user experience assuming that each link provides value or answers a question. The simplest way I can explain my process is that I sit on a page, look at the links and think, "If I were one of my customers on this page, what questions/needs would I want answered?" Based on the answer to that question, I have an idea of how many links I should have on the page. The "magic number" of 100 isn't something I pay attention to, although it is a good place to start - if you have more than 100 questions (see: links) coming from 1 page, you are probably not condensing your pages enough. Hope this helps! Cheers, Rob

Hi Cesare. Appreciate the response.  8 to 12 weeks for new content ranking is my experience also. However, when we got a link from a different charity (about 18 months ago) our rankings jumped up in the SERPs 2 to 3 weeks after that link being indexed. So I imagine the answer is not the same for on page/ off page signals. I'll happily stand correct though.  Anyone else care to comment?

Have I finally found a conundrum that the great Moz brain can't solve?

Hi Luke, No there is no logical reason to not use 301 redirect and even I would say it is a terrible mistake that will affect site very badly. In fact if we don't use 301 redirect site will loose ranking /traffice/ link juice. Hope this helps!! Thanks

Hi! I personally like to use the service of Kraken.io. Check their pricing, but I'd say it is a low cost and efficient way to handle the images. We have been using it with their magento extension. But they also have a plugin for Wordpress. (https://kraken.io/plugins) I know, it is not the only solution, but it worked well for me Good luck!

Thank you, your information is a big help. Am I also able to to include custom historical data per keyword in my reports?

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! I'm so sorry about this - I'm afraid there's no way for us to recover a deleted campaign, as we don't retain that data after deletion. Did you happen to have any reports set up with us? If so, you might still have those in your email! I'm sorry I can't be of more help on this one. Feel free to give me a shout if there's anything else I can help with.
