  • I completely agree with Bryan on this one on all counts. As for how you go about structuring this content process, it really depends on just how limited your time is. If you go through each landing page and write a sufficient amount of content (my recommendation is always 1500+ words per primary landing page), is it going to take you weeks to get this done or are we talking more like 6 months? Also, don't neglect the user experience in your planning process. If the vast majority of your users are arriving on the site looking for one particular thing, make sure they're going to land on a page rich in value; don't just give it an arbitrary 100 words to stave off the search engine Gods and move on!

  • I will paste link to same answer here:  https://moz.com/community/q/text-hidden-by-java So - this text is "less valued" since it's covered with "display: none". It's much better if text is unrolled even if page will become little bit longer.

  • Hi There I agree with Peter. You can 301 redirect your old images to the new ones. Leaving the old images won't hurt anything, but would be good to delete them to free space up on he server (why not).

  • Oh, if they're just pages that are part of a template you're using then you can safely get rid of them without having to redirect. Just make sure you remove all internal links to those deleted pages so you don't end up with 404s.

  • I think that you should check is this real visit or fake one. Check HTTP access logs about such referrer and see in Analytics (or other website analytics software that you used). Also visit URL where backlink should be. Then: In case of link to hacked pages - disavow ASAP. Bad guys make backlinks to hacked webpages to get higher position in SERP. But this could change your linking profile. And in some situation you may face Penguin algo filter. In case of link to other pages and source look shady - disavow ASAP. This could be even revenge for removed hack. Also can bring Penguin. In case of link to non-existing link i.e. bot traffic - leave. This is case when bot make "fake visit" tricking Analytics to count it. And webmasters go to inspect source. This is "curiosity driven visit", but messing your Analytics statistics. In case of regular link that is relevant - keep it. Example - i have link from Pakisanian forum about people discussing something like type X vs. type Y. And someone share link from mine site explaining "here is difference between them" in article that is exactly about their discussion. So until you didn't see original source can be anything. Also please check question and answers here:  https://moz.com/community/q/is-there-value-in-disavowing-links-if-you-there-is-no-google-penalty  so disavowing isn't tool that you only use in case of penalty. You can use it even w/o penalty to make link profile clean as possible.

  • Hey there Chris! When you search for a business in our Check Listing tool, the results are populated by existing local listings out on the web. If you’re seeing two distinct verified listings, one from Facebook and one from Google+, it’s likely because their NAP (name, address, and phone number) data does not match exactly and they’re being treated as possibly separate listings. To get them to combine, you’ll want to make sure the NAP data matches. It’s hard to know which pages exactly these are without taking a look at the search results for the business you’re querying, so if you have additional questions about the Check Listing tool (and for the sake of data privacy) I recommend writing in to us at help@moz.com!

  • Yes - iso-8859-15 is very outdated encoding. Validator suggest that you should use UTF-8.I believe that this is also SEMRush issue too. Fix just wrote this: and bug will be fixed.

  • Basically, Ahrefs and Moz are the high-quality equipment for checking website stats they let you know that the number of Backlinks your website have  in addition they tell referring domains for royal online.

  • Hi Kadence, There are some really good responses already and some good links that I'd recommend taking a look at. I just wanted to add a few more points: Try to focus on creating the type of content that may attract links - so when you're creating it or thinking about an idea, go to Google and find 10 people who you think would link to the content. If you can't do this, then it may not be a link-worthy idea. That doesn't mean you don't do it at all, but it may be a piece of content that is designed more to get organic traffic than links. I wouldn't worry too much about a site being new. The tactics are still pretty much the same and if you're focusing on white hat techniques, I don't think it makes too much difference that the site is new. Take a look at a few competitors and run them through Open Site Explorer to see how they are generating links. This isn't to say you should copy them 100% - you want to get better links than them But they can provide some context and inspiration for directions to go in. I hope that helps! Paddy

  • Hi freshs! Thank you for posting in Q&A! I just want to let you know that job listings actually aren't allowed in this forum. I am glad, though, that Peter was able to give you some suggestions, and I'd like to recommend the Inbound.org Job Board as another place to look. I hope you find the consultant you need! At this point, I'm going to lock this thread to further responses. Good luck!

  • You shouldn't use the nofollow tag property for internal links. Doing so used to preserve your PageRank, but it was changed a few years ago so that links with nofollow just result in link juice evaporation. But to answer your original question, the nofollow tags should have no impact on your blog. But do yourself a favor and remove the nofollow tags.
