Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Not a problem, happy to help

Chris and Mike both make great points! If you choose to consolidating under one domain, consider creating geo-targeted pages for each of the countries/service areas you want to make sure you're ranking for. The content can be similar to a point, but that way your website will still target the areas you care about. Chris' point about the challenges of authority with multiple sites raises a great point, too. Get authority up through link building, social campaigns, etc, and you could see some positive changes.

Hi! I agree with Chris. As long as Google is able to tell that the links should be pointing to your website, and aren't some sort of spammy link scheme, then having links from websites in other languages is fine! Just make sure that the websites you are getting these links from are relevant and have a high domain authority so they will pass on the link juice to your website.

Yeah, I mean with big news sites you can see that their articles get indexed by Google almost immediately after it's published. As you said, depends on the prominence of the site, as well as how deep the page is within the site structure. On ecommerce sites, sometimes you can see that product pages that are really deep within the site structure and buried amongst thousands upon thousands of other products won't have been crawled in like 2 months. You can always check pages in Google search to see when the page was last cached or, if you're using Chrome, by appending "cache:" before the URL in the address bar (e.g. cache:www.moz.com). Gives you the date and time of Google's last cache of the page. Could always monitor that every day on another site for up to a week, and see how many times Google crawls it in a week to get an idea of frequency.

Howdy. Well, since all you are doing is updates css and adding pictures, but keeping url, text etc., you won't have any effect (positive or negative) on SEO whatsoever. SInce it's gonna look a bit better, maybe engagement metrics will go up, and it'll improve SEO, but that's a tall story to hope for Hope this helps.

I am not blocking anyone and my pages are all less than 2mb,  considerably. My site is https://antiquebanknotes.com Would the 902's affect my rankings?  For example, Moz is telling me that I rank 51+ for "1901 ten dollar bill" but it looks to me like I am 4th

Well, My thinking is that for whatever reason Google thinks that the title has to be longer than suggested by that plugin and for whatever reason is pulling the authors name. The only way I see something changing is too make title longer or remove/rename author.

We are having the same issue on our site, this this ever got resolved?

Thank you for your input! Very helpful!

Hi Ilan Bloemhof, By using Moz Local you can push out updates to all online directories with the new phone number. The important thing to remember about using Moz Local is that the information needs to match what it shown on your Google My Business profile, so the first step would be going into Google+ and making sure anything that has changed is updated. Once this is done, it will take about a week or so for Moz to register the changes, but once it does you can start pushing this information out to the online directories. Hope this helps!

Hi Paul, Thank-you for sharing that.  Question, over the past few weeks we've seen our new domain climb back up into the spot the old domain was at before we made the domain change.  I still haven't added a sitemap of all the old urls to the new google webmaster property for the new domain.  At this point I'm questioning whether I should even do this at all since I'm concerned doing so at this stage may produce some sort of negative result.  I can see the index amount of the old site urls slowly climbing down but there is still a decent amount of them:  https://www.google.com/#q=site:citychurchfamily.org .  Does it still make sense to submit a sitemap of all the old urls at this stage?  If I don't will all the old urls eventually stop being indexed by Google?  Should I remove the old site entirely at citychurchfamily.org but keep my 301 redirects in place on the server?  I appreciate your first response and any help/insight you offer here. Sincerely, Andrew

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.  It sounds like you're waiting for an update for a specific report. I'd love to let you know when you can expect that update, but it's a bit difficult to do through the Forum. If you send us a note at help@moz.com with the details of what's going on, we'll do our best to help you out!

Congratz on the publicity! Those are some great links! Unfortunately though, Google may be ignoring them because they contain the tag rel="nofollow" which basically tells Google (and other search engines) not to follow it. The Daily Mail one definitely does, so I would check the others too. Many big publishers will nofollow external links, as they can't "vouch" for what they're linking to and don't want to risk the association. Though the mention of your site, even with a nofollow link, isn't without benefit to your website! The Daily Mail one alone has a page authority of 51 and a domain authority of 94, so being linked to from there is impressive. It puts your website in a "good neighbourhood", so to speak. But just not as SEO-effective as it would have been if it were followed. If the link doesn't contain the rel="nofollow" tag then it doesn't matter if the link was added after Google first indexed it. If Google crawls the page again, after the link was added, it would count it.

Thanks for your response Robert, My question is not relating to lost "link juice" from 301 redirects. I am asking if after the 301 redirect (bringing the currently external personal blog domain, internal), will the link across to the other internal page then be worth less/more as an internal link (minus the tiny bit of loss from the 301).

I did test the page in Google Rich Snippet tester and it showed nothing. I see the same thing with Wikipedia's listing on https://www.google.com/search?q=tanzanite&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Tanzanite - Wikipedia <cite class="_Rm">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Tanzanite**</cite> Tanzanite is the blue/violet variety of the mineral zoisite belonging to the epidote group. It was discovered by a Tanzanian Jumanne Mhero Ngoma in the ... Color‎: ‎Blue, VioletCrystal habit‎: ‎Prismatic crystals with striations; ...Crystal system‎: ‎OrthorhombicStreak‎: ‎White or colorless

Is there a redirect on the page that is ranking with the term? We experienced the same thing and we found that the 301 redirect we had got erased somehow. Once we put it back in, we returned to the same position.

Update: the solution ended up being super simple - the image that was the designated photo in GMB did not have the correct dimensions. Once that was fixed, we were able to specify the profile image we wanted to use.
