Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For lengthy-tail positions, typically you'll no longer see a dramatic drop. In truth, typically no drop in any respect. For some of the greater competitive positions, you most probably will see a mild loss.  Some businesses do see a dramatic drop--but maximum probable due to different elements like microphone reviews. Over time, count on to regain the positions of the one in case you recognition on UX.

You are most welcome! Best of luck!

Hey Kit - This is a question I am seeing coming up a lot recently! I think you'd be well guided to either get in and do a deep analysis on your own site or hire someone to do one to get to the bottom of this. There have been a decent few people sharing some screenshots of Search Console (Barry rounded them up here) where some saw drops, others saw steady, and still others saw increases. The results you see from AMP seem to heavily depend on the correct technical implementation (and Search Console shows you errors) as well as the type of SERP feature you are in (regular organic, carousel at the front or buried deep, etc). Hope that's helpful. John

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Unfortunately we do not use a static IP address or range of IP addresses, as we have designed our crawler to have a dynamic approach. This means we use thousands of dynamic IP addresses which will change each time we run a crawl. This approach gives us the best dynamic view of the web, but it can make us incompatible with some servers or hosting providers. The best option I'd be able to suggest would be to identify our crawler by User-agent: rogerbot I apologize for the inconvenience this causes! Sorry I couldn't help you further. ​ If you have more questions or need some clarification, feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com.

Hello Pascal, Like Hillary Clinton, I have a public opinion and a private opinion when it comes to stuff like this. The public opinion is also Google's, and that is to use a rel="nofollow" attribute on widget links. They are considered links that webmasters use to manipulate the search engine rankings. Yes, that video is old, but the rule still stands as far as Google is concerned. My private opinion is that widgets are a form of branding, and it is not a webmaster's responsibility to do anything other than get their brand discovered far and wide. You created a widget that, if people are using it, probably provides some value to them. Why should you get any less credit for this than you would get from someone linking to the widget on your site? If you are going to keep the links followable, my advice is to keep the anchor text branded and the href pointing to your home page. This is the least likely to seem like link-graph manipulation. Avoid deep-links, unless they go to the widget download page, and avoid optimized anchor text. Use "YourDomain.com" or "Your Brand" instead. I'll leave the question open for more input since this isn't a question that necessarily has a single "right" or "wrong" answer.

Great thank you. I'm just unsure as to why they're flagging as errors anyway Thank you!

Possibly, but I would ask a developer if they can set up a redirect for the IP address so you wouldn't have to handle this through a plugin as it seems that you want to redirect the whole thing.

Hi Sean, Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my query! I think I understand now! Wishing you a merry Xmas and a great 2017! Thanks again!! Very best! Adrian

Hey Adam, There are a few tools out there: http://smallseotools.com/code-to-text-ratio-checker/ http://tools.seochat.com/tools/code-to-text-ratio/ I've never used them, though: I think that the importance of code to text ratio is making sure your page doesn't take too long to load, or look like spam. I'd recommend you check out this other Moz Q&A to look into that: https://moz.com/community/q/how-important-is-my-code-to-text-ratio-on-web-pages Good luck! Kristina

Intriguing title to this question!   You hooked me. Important question: if your client has an online-only business, why does he have citations? Structured citations are normally restricted to local businesses that make in-person contact with consumers. Does your client interact face-to-face with his customers? If so, failure to correct citations is about the worst mistake he could be making in terms of reputation, rankings and revenue. But, if your client's business model is virtual, he shouldn't really be creating local business listings and ought to get rid of them - especially any Google My Business listings as they would actually be a violation of Google's guidelines. However, if he has accrued non-structured mentions of his business (for example, social mentions, newspaper articles, blog posts, etc.) and they contain misinformation, the risk of neglecting this is that he is losing customers. If I'm correct in understanding that your client's business is virtual, I'd advise him to: Get rid of all local business listings on the major local business data platforms Make the effort to correct unstructured citations, unless he can afford to lose customers. I'd give it the 'old college try' to make the client understand his profits are at being put at stake due to misinformation being published about his company and outline a sensible plan for addressing the issue (based on whether his business is truly local or virtual). Then, if the client wouldn't hear this, I'd let him go. In fact, I wouldn't serve a client who felt that bad data about his company could be neglected. I'd be foiled at every turn in trying to market his business and see progress. His attitude would be setting us both up for failure. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi Shani! Do these responses help to answer your question or are you looking for more information? If you're good to go, please mark this as answered. Thanks!

Thanks for specifying the duplicate content considerations here John. I think we've envisioned all of the above re-uses containing links and explicit reference to the original site and review. Having not yet read each site's stipulations, it seems to me like they'd appreciate the free publicity and resulting backlinks to their sites. We'd even envisioned having branded site icons next to each re-used/referenced review so users can click directly to said review and read others on the original site. I'm curious to explore the stipulations to see if there's expressed reasoning for not liking the practice.

Thank you Chris a lot for this detailed answer!

Thank you very much for the answer.

Thanks for the answer Brett. I guess I was going off old information and maybe confused between page rank and anchor text. Matt Cutts said: "last time he looked, which was in 2009, they only counted the anchor text from the first link." which makes me think I must have heard it quite a while ago. Source: (http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt-cutts-one-page-two-links-page-counted-first-link-192718), although the video is not working for me so I can't double check exactly what he says here. But anyway, many thanks. Extremely useful information for me
