Thank you SO very much!  This is exactly what I will do.

Hello, You could also restrain access by setting up an endpoint on the vanity URLs. Please signup on my free site https://passkart.com/ if you'd like to collaborate. It has a secure chat.

If you want to increase your DA you should build links across the whole domain, but not to the specific page on your site. It takes time to show keywords in MOZ.  You might need to wait a few more weeks.

Hi there, I think I can help you out with your SEO strategy. Let me know if you are still interested. Thanks

Thank you for your answers. One more question: I read articles that google, when taking about E-A-T, although it treats subdomains as a separate domain, it still knows that this is still somehow connected with the main domain, so the subdomain will still negatively  affect main domain rankings almost the same as having the forum in subfolder. If that is true, then I come with the below situation: 1. The main domain wont get back its old - great  rankings by removing the forum from subfolder to subdomain. 2. The forum that 15 years now is the best in country with thousands of posts and visits, it will loose it;s traffic, too. Confused!! Any opinions on that?

You need to build high-quality links across the whole domain, but not to a specific page.

it 's depend to your practices  in one page site , there are too many of on page factors affect to score like hidden keywords , keyword stuffing etc .

You are welcome! Ross

Do not use the Disavow tool unless you are losing traffic or you got a penalty.

I would look into these things: how much traffic that specific site gets on a monthly basis how does the anchor cloud look like( do they have any spammy links?) Look at this site in the web archive to see if the theme of this site has been many changed If the site had any drops in organic traffic If the site has many redirects How many other sites are located on the same IP or C block( many webmasters put all these sites on the same server) Does the site has any high-quality links pointing to it What is the link velocity for the specific site Do not look into DA only because it could be manipulated

Does that site have " - " in the domain name?

Well, there are many reasons why your competitors are outranking your site. You should keep building links to your domain to outrank him and make sure your site speed is the same as their sites. Also, get a RankMath Plugin instead of Yoast.

I would not change the URL structure unless you have to do this.  Keep it short and clean.
