Multiple similar links without the penguin?
Thank you Jake! I appreciate your input and do see your point but since the links are completely optional and the linked page at our site basically serves as further explanation on the subject and what the sign/badge stands for…also after watching this https://moz.com/blog/weird-crazy-myths-about-link-building-in-seo-you-should-probably-ignore-whiteboard-friday I can’t help but thinking it would be overly cautious to explicitly tell customers to use nofollow /Anders

Rankings > Landing Page > Only UK?
Hi there! Tawny from the Customer Support team here. You should be able to see Landing pages data for a .no site, as long as you meet the other requirements for Landing Pages data. The page is active on campaigns that are connected to Google Analytics, are tracking keywords within the campaign on the national level, and are using at least one of the Google English-language search engines (identified by “en-XX” in Campaign Settings). In this view, your tracked keywords are now grouped by landing page based on the estimated proportion of traffic they are bringing in for that page. Hope that helps! If you've still got questions, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort you out!

Keyword Volume Data for Austria
Sorry about that! While our keyword corpus for Keyword Explorer is large, it does not cover all keywords. If you see "no data" reported for a keyword's volume, it means we do not yet have volume information available. The good news is that your Keyword Difficulty score is unaffected by volume data, as it relies on SERP rankings, so you can definitely still find useful data here! We are continually adding keyword volumes to our database, so we may have data for your keywords in the future. Hopefully our coverage for Austria will improve soon!

How is your site holding up post Penguin 4.0 roll out?
I run an ecommerce site. My site used to rank #2 (my homepage) and #3 (my product page) for my primary keyword. #1 has always been my competitor's homepage. Now, my competitor's Shop page -- which uses this keyword only 6x within the content of that page -- is #2 bumping me down to #3 and #4 Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.

Spam sites republish a article with 'money keyword' anchor text and causing a pentalty.. how to prevent.
A site I manage has all their blog posts scraped and republished on a trash website. We've sent requests to the site a handful of times, and submitted a DMCA takedown request, but nothing has ever been resolved. Your best bet is to disavow those domains scraping the original content. I'd also recommend more investigation into the sites publishing content and links that point to your site. It seems some sites are more prone to being scraped than others, haven't figured out any rhyme or reason to when it happens yet though. Definitely interested to see if anyone else chimes in with some insights on preventative methods.

Once you have cleaned up links / disavowed them how to get google to take notice quicker
Hey there, Typically, some tools claim to be able to push Google to reindex fixed URLs faster but this is, more often than not, a claim that isn't backed up. Google tends to reindex websites more often than you might think and submitting URLs manually doesn't often expedite that process. By all means feel free to bump Google by submitting URLs manually but I don't believe this is going to make the process any faster. All the best, Sean

Completely inaccurate rank tracking data
Hi Sean, Thanks for the response. The keyword we are looking at is "B2B Events Agency" and the domain we are tracking is be.uk.com. We are testing from two different physical locations in the UK; London and Exeter, both using Google.co.uk I've tried two different search profile on the Moz bar and that didn't reveal much. We've had a canned response from Rank Ranger about personalisation and location etc. but from what we can see it's a deeper problem than that. Many thanks

Key word Ranking are going down
Hi Tariq! Unfortunately there can be a variety of reasons why you might notice your rankings decreasing. Because of this, it's hard to specifically pinpoint where you might be experiencing a problem. Here are the things I would look at that should hopefully improve your rankings: What is your domain age? What is your domain authority? The higher this score, the better! You can work on improving this score by generating high quality backlinks to your website. Are you integrating the keywords into your content well? I can't stress enough how important is it to not overstuff your content! Are you creating optimized title tags for all of your webpages? Are your website's meta descriptions optimized? What is your website speed (on both desktop AND mobile)? You can check this here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ Is your website mobile friendly? This is a ranking factor. You can check this here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ Is your website secure? While HTTPs is not a ranking factor yet, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a ranking factor later down the road. These are only a few places to start with optimizing your website - but I hope this helps you improve your rankings!

Need More Traffic
I know it wasn't intended in the way I read it, but "if you can source high quality links back to your site this will help with rankings"... this doesn't mean go off and buy them - you would be surprised how many do. If you have a friendly PBN, then perhaps it's a different conversation Think about this: What are most people who could link to you, likely to link to - a sales page about vapes or an article about it? It is obviously the second one and the way that I would advise this, is by taking these articles, marketing them and then getting links to those instead. You then use these articles to internal link through to your key (hub) pages. This is a very effective way to link build without trying to get links to sales pages - which almost never happens. -Andy

One domain or two for one company with two lines of business?
Hi Jazee, At the end of the day, this ultimately comes down to what you think is best for the company. I do agree with the other answers that building these out as two separate sites could be a better option. And I am going to add on a few more factors that I think you should consider before making this decision. Because the services are so different, you will be able to get target the website (think: backlink outreach) if the website is on one specific topic rather than focusing on multiple services. However, if these are on one website, you should be able to grow the domain authority more quickly because in theory you could have double the amount of backlinks (link from websites for each service) linking to the one domain.

How long does it take to rank easy keywords?
Hi there! Unfortunately there's no definitive answer to this question. Choosing a keyword that should be "easy" to rank for doesn't always mean that you will rank for it. There are a few problem with that thought process. 1) There are probably other people doing the same research trying to rank for the same "easy" keyword as you. While that is still a less competitive term, you are still competing with the other websites that are optimized for this keyword. 2) You can't just add a keyword to a website and expect to rank for it. Are you trying to rank your homepage? Or a new blog/article? It would likely be easier to get a homepage to rank for an "easy" keyword than a new blog post because your homepage is likely to have a higher page authority. What is your website's domain authority? Is it comparable to the other websites that are already ranking for this term? There are a variety of factors that go into rankings, and even if you are focusing on one specific term, you should also spend time improving the rest of your website as well to ensure you have the best possible chance of ranking in the SERPs. Hope this helps!
