  • Hi Simon, It's not looking great. I don't have any inside information from Bing / Microsoft, but there seem to be SNI pages that are still not being indexed correctly. See, for example, this page: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2014/05/09/if_you_can_read_this_youre_sniing which is nowhere to be found in Bing's index. A site: search on bing finds two posts from the mnot site (out of hundreds). So it appears likely to still be flaky but I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of looking for other reasons that site may not be indexed, nor checked that it actually is using SNI. I also don't have an SNI site to test things on, so that's the best I have for you, I'm afraid. The only other link I found that may be interesting is this page claiming that SNI is supported by bing: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewClient.html?name=BingPreview&version=Jan%202015 Sorry that's not more useful. You could reach out to the author of that SEL post (Ben Goodsell) and see if he's seen any changes since he wrote it.

  • Hi Lauren, This technique can be very effective but it is getting harder to do because as you say, people need a reason to link and often don't like linking out. My question would be - does your colleague have a page on your website? Something such as a profile page? If they do, then this may be a good way of providing a reason for the link because it's crediting the right person with the quote. Another possibility - have they used a photo of your colleague? Again if they have, then that may be another route. I know this may be a little too late, but I wanted to mention it for the future - the quicker you can contact someone after an article has been published, the better chance you have of getting the link. You mentioned that the article in Reuters was from a few months ago which makes it tougher for you. So I'd advise trying to react as quickly as possible to things like this using a tool such as Buzzsumo of Fresh Web Explorer to find fresh mentions of people's names. I hope that helps! Paddy

  • To be honest, I'm not familiar enough with WooCommerce to provide any good feedback regarding those URLs.

  • Hi Michael, Yes, this is a bit complicated. Ideally, you'd have just 1 website for the business, but if you have to have 2, be sure there is no connection between the two. No shared NAP, no shared content, etc. It would need to be run as a completely separate business to avoid the danger of NAP confusion.

  • This tool can help store owners to move one cart to other cart with keeping all current SEO ranking you have built up for years. It supports to migrate 301 SEO URLs of categories and products, so I think the first thing you can do is keep ranking of domain B. After that, you can rise it. http://litextension.com/seo-urls-migrations-plugins.html

  • Thanks guys! I use STAT as my tracking tool and, before posting here, I asked my account manager about it - he told me they don't support this feature yet but they liked the idea, so they might write it down for future development. I understand it might take a while until one of these tools offer a feature like this, as it seems only a few are requesting it. Thanks Kane, I will ask around about how feasible would be to build our own scraper in house. That's a good idea. I'll get in touch with some other rank trackers, will let you know if I find any

  • I'm in the same boat, and even tried the DRIVERS GARAGE solution (which is also posted on quite a few other blog sites).  Unfortunately, that did not work for me.  Neither did the REDIRECTION WP plugin, nor did editing my .htaccess a zillion different ways.  Heck, I even tried creating directories and html files with embedded java. Here is the only redirection that DID WORK for me (as indicated it would by Peter): JAVASCRIPT (1) Create a Javascript file with this code: var hashesarr = { "#!old-news/chi3":'/new-page/',  "#!another-news/dkc8":'/another-new-page/',  "#!something-old/eckje8":'/something-new/' }; for (var hash in hashesarr) { var patt = new RegExp(hash); if (window.location.hash.match(patt) !== null) { window.location.href = hashesarr[hash];  }  } (2) Save that file to your theme's child folder (so it doesn't get overwritten in the future by theme or Wordpress updates. I saved my file here: \wp-content\themes\aweseometheme-child\ (3) In your SEO Plugin, or wherever you can edit the home page's HEAD file, add this code: (4) Test, make changes, try again and PRESTO! As a disclaimer, I have not yet tested to see how this will affect SEO Pagerank or Google redirects.  I'm guessing I will still have to implement the Sitemap with the UGLY url's per the DRIVERS GARAGE.  But all my client really cared about was that the client's who bookmarked specific pages, or had links pointing to deep pages would be redirected properly. MY AHA ANSWER WAS FOUND HERE: http://www.simosh.com/article/cbgaifec-301-redirect-from-wix-to-wordpress.html (Alex Nikitenko is a genious!)

  • Hi Melissa, For your top pages, in Google Analytics go to: Behavior > Site Content > All Pages or Landing Pages For your top organic search terms, you'll need to go to Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools) - then go to Search Traffic > Search Analytics > and choose 'Queries' You can still see some search terms in Google Analytics, but they technically took away that feature when they went to secure search about 3 years ago. But you're better off using Search Console to view this information. Here's a few links that'll help you learn the ropes: https://moz.com/blog/absolute-beginners-guide-to-google-analytics https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo

  • Not at all. Bookmarks are no indication of the quality of the content or a website as a whole. If there were any truth to this, it'd be ridiculously easy to game the system - think of a large company with thousands of computers in their offices, they could have their IT team pre-install Chrome with any number of bookmarked links they want - way too easy.

  • Well - go in SearchConsole and reevaluate site from scratch. As long as you return 404 to hacked pages its' OK for you and for Google. But what they told you in "reconsideration request"? Because "this site may be hacked" isn't helpful for your CTR. PM me site please.
