  • I have worked a lot with Joomla 1.5, you will need to upgrade 1.5 to I think 1.7 first then you should be able to go to 3. But, upgrading from 1.5 is going to be an absolute nightmare - do not waste your time. I HIGHLY recommend just transferring everything over to Wordpress, try find a template from themeforest which is similar to your site, it will save you so much trouble.

  • Hi Ruben, In Moz Analytics, to get the rankings of a specific date you could download the entire historical keyword rankings CSV and grab what you need from there. To do this, all you have to do is click on "Rankings History CSV" next to your Tracked Keywords Overview on the Rankings page, and you'll receive an email containing the CSV file.

  • Taking websites offline, redirecting multiple times, can damage the value of a business. They are actions that must be carefully considered, developed into a plan, and then played in the proper sequence.   Doing this properly requires a lot of detailed study to maximize value of the assets. For that reason, I can't give you a detailed procedure for doing this.  It is different with every website.  When I have done this type of work, I develop a plan and then get feedback or confirmation from other smart people.    It's not the type of work that is done on generic methods or quick answers from a Q&A post.

  • Personally, I think where does matter and is counted as another positive indicator that the site is legit if the TLD and location of hosting match.  I only have limited examples to draw from but I recall there being a 2 position increase after moving from Justhost to a Canadian hosting solution for a .ca.

  • Based on the fact that we don't currently offer any promotions (aside from our 30-day free trial) I'm going to have to join Eric in calling this and similar offers illegitimate and encouraging you to buy your subscriptions through these companies directly. I've also just sent that site to our Legal team, so their offer may not be available much longer, anyway—thanks for the heads-up! I'll be locking this thread to further comments, as well.

  • Hi Trevor! As of right now, the next index is still scheduled for release on Friday. If a change to this date occurs, you will see it reflected on the Mozscape API Updates page. If something were to happen to push back this estimated date, we would announce it on that page as soon as the delay occurred. I hope that helps!

  • An experienced SEO will understand both the things you're talking about, but also technical elements that influence site performance (from a user and search engine perspective). If you want to learn everything yourself and handle it yourself, that's fine but if you've got a business to run you need to really look at the opportunity cost of that. If you're really getting fed up with SEO companies not performing when you pay a large sum, why not hire someone in house to take care of that work? You kind of need to define what your business really needs, then find a company that truly specializes in that. Choosing any general agency may not yield the best results, especially if all they do is an audit and change a few onsite elements. If you're pretty much set onsite after working with a few companies, then find help with content development and outreach. Make content and resources that are useful for your potential customers, which will help funnel them into a sales page to convert into a paying customer. If you're just looking for recommendations, you might be better off looking at the Moz recommended companies like Peter mentioned.

  • Yes I believe its been happening from ages. These techniques are used by competitors mostly to sabotage the websites. However, how do you hack into such websites. Its very annoying. I am keeping an eye on the backlinks profile. Ahrefs didnt show any such link but I got this from the Google Search Console. These third party links pages are not even indexed in Google but still Google has got it in their Search Console report and Ahrefs is unable to detect these. Very strange!

  • Hi there! There are a ton of link building case studies around. For starters, I'd suggest scrolling through the Link Building category on the Moz Blog; I'm seeing a handful of case studies just on the first page. https://moz.com/blog/category/link-building

  • Hi Andy, The "right" layout is going to be pretty specific to your business - a marine conservation nonprofit is going to have a much different homepage than an online sunglasses store (for example). In terms of the technical SEO elements, 99.9% of Wordpress sites will have them already: title/meta tags, H1/2/3s, proper use of markup, etc. - the 'optimization' part usually comes from updating/revising these, not adding them from scratch. I know the Yoast SEO plugin is a pretty popular WP plugin that gets recommended a lot, that will give you more granular control over some the the elements listed above. You'll definitely want to put some thought into your site structure/architecture as well as that will affect both crawling and your internal linking structure. A little more detail about the field you're in will help narrow in on some good examples. Good luck! Josh
