Welcome to the Q&A Forum

No... it may simply mess up with canonicalization in certain cases (eg: ASP based websites) and surely is not that user friendly (people tend to type in URLs lowercase, apart some crazy people)

Thats very useful and good to know. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge! Ben

I think you are looking for a website like this: http://websiteseochecker.com/bulk-check-trust-flow-citation-flow/ Its a lil slow but at the end of the day you will get your work done in less time!

https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader https://moz.com/researchtools/keyword-difficulty Moz has a couple of tools, as Martijn said screaming frog and exporting can work too, you can do this for http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html as well

Hi Lehia! Something I recommend all the time is to read through Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts," which covers topical keyword research. It might help you to understand how best to think about your keyword targeting.

I'm with Alick300, using an event on the onclick event on the link is the way to go.  If you run jQuery on your pages, it should be pretty easy to select all the links going to tripadvisor.com and attach the goal tracking event code after the page has loaded.  It'll be 1 line of jQuery code... you shouldn't need to go through and add this to thousands of links by hand.

Sorted - thanks

Thank you so much! I noticed the problem with the canonical when I was auditing the site. I think is this is a major issue. Google seems to be omiting that, because it is still showing inner pages in its results. We are not sure about how this can be affecting the entire site rankings, but I think it is not good at all. We have addressed that and we hope the site improves its rankings soon. Thank you again for your advices!

If the sellxgadget.com is your domain and all of your keywords contain sellxgadget in the keyword with “v1” or “v2” or “v3” in it then as per my understanding, the best approach would be to go with the first option. That is: sellxgadget.com/v1 Here are few of the reason why I will go with the first option: -          The overall size of the URL will be small and it’s important for the URLs to be not too long. The URL is covering all your keywords and yet small in size. -          It didn’t seem spammy to me! The keywords are in the URL but not over optimized. Hope this helps!

Oh, I see

Thanks everybody, I decided to go with WordPress.  Looks like I have a lot more learning to go again. Scott

Thank you Gianluca for your time and answer! 

Yes, that is the key - what has happened to the pages on the server?  You would hope that they still exist and you can revert.  If the site is in tact you can just remove any 301 or 302 redirects and restore.  It may be that Google has removed the URLs from the index but these would be crawled again once the redirects are sorted.

Hey Erick, So it's tricky for me to answer your question definitively, but it's worth highlighting that both Moz metrics and Majestic metrics are simply there as a guide to relative page strength. Weak pages on strong domains frequently outrank stronger pages on weaker domains if that makes sense. Additionally, Google take many factors into account when ranking pages - not just links. As I mentioned above, from a user's perspective that page is a 'good result' for reviews; hence Google tend to rank pages like that well. As such I suspect you may struggle to outrank the page. If I were you, I wouldn't reach out to the blogger to ask them to delete the link. The danger is that (as you said) you start a whole new firestorm and attract a bunch more links to the ROR page. I suspect it's not that link that's making a difference in any case, so even if you did get it removed, it's likely that the page will still rank. Cheers Hannah

We have a Q & A site and used this wordpress template. Don't believe they have login integration as you mentioned, but has the rest of the functionality you mentioned. PM if you want to take a look.

Yes, you have to create a property for every subdomain since every subdomain has different peculiarities, like the instructions in robots.txt You may also want to reconsider to put your blog in a subfolder instead a subdomain. This has been the recommedation from Moz for a long time and still is. You can find the explanation here: https://moz.com/blog/subdomains-vs-subfolders-rel-canonical-vs-301-how-to-structure-links-optimally-for-seo-whiteboard-friday

Hi David! Each week you will receive reports for your campaigns summarizing your Keyword Rankings, On-Page Grades, and Crawl Diagnostics. These are great ways to track a campaign's progress week by week. I would also recommend watching the Insights tab of your campaign's dashboard to see where Moz is suggesting to focus your efforts. You can read more about that here: https://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started/action-dashboard Additionally, creating Custom Reports for a campaign is a good option to track exactly what kind of information you need, and send it directly to your client. More information on those can be found here: https://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/custom-reports I hope this is helpful Thank you! Kevin Help Team

Awesome post. I'm actually doing the same now. I was thinking of going the landing page as well with a new domain. Would you recommend a brand new domain or just a page on the current domain with relevant city keywords, images, etc.
