Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Honestly speaking, I didn't try Scrapebox for this purpose but I heard that the results are not very accurate. I think you should go with URL Profiler if you're gonna need it on regular basis. Let's see what other suggests. Umar

Hi there! This looks like a great approach. If you have any questions or issues with the tools along the way, please send us a message at help@moz.com and we'll take a look Thank you! Kevin Help Team

Hi Miriam Thanks for the response, I completely understand what you are staying and agree with you.  I always play by Google's rules, but occasionally the real world has to be considered. In this instance it is more important and more financially beneficially to the company to have the virtual office near to where all their clients are currently based. But we don't want anything to happen to the website as it is a source of reference for their customers, so we have already put in place hiding the home address and showing Google the area serviced by the client. We won't be targeting the virtual address as the business is strong enough to appear within the location they service. -Christina

Hi there I would check your javascript and make sure that you aren't accidentally blocking JS that has internal links. I would also update your links to best practice standards. Currently your links link as: ___ Change these to either: ___ ___ You can learn more about internal links best practices here and here. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Great input by Ken, wanted to embellish.  301 redirects are key (talk with your developer or host on best way with your setup on how to implement)  Google Search Console actually has a "change of address" option to help you migrate.  There is also a step by step tutorial  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6033049?hl=en Good luck!

HI Erica, It's not on the page too many times, it's just relentlessly exact-matched between h1, url, title tag and img alt, but I guess that's okay. Thanks

Awesome thank you for your help.  Definitely clears things up.

Looks like your client is part of a link network with exact match anchor text, check out these: http://cornhilldental.co.uk/index.htm http://www.modburydentalpractice.co.uk/ http://www.farcottondental.co.uk/links.html

If they have follow links, the deal's backlink will enhance your SEO efforts as they are legitimate links that are there for a helpful to the user purpose and coming from a strong domain.

Thanks yes - it was a 301 redirect not set up correctly. Regards Mike

Whaha that's the goal actually Thanks for you responses!

Oops, above post was from me Sorry, I was logged into a different account when responding.

Hi Farhan Yes sure, we've definitely found this helps bring the crawlers back to the site more regular! Hope it helps Dan

Hey John, If a reverse proxy is not an option, then you're faced with either using a subdomain, or making the blog work with the existing CMS. In either situation, there's no need to set up redirects from the top domain to the subdomain or vice versa. So, setting up a fake URL at site.com/blog/article-name/ that redirects to blog.site.com/article-name/ would not provide any value. In fact, if people started linking to that fake URL it would decrease the value of those incoming links to the subdomain. Hope that helps - let me know if you have additional questions.

Hey Jawahar, Thanks for posting your question. Guest posts will never harm your blog if you follow these guidelines: Content is fresh, detailed, unique and optimized. It's well-written (in terms of grammar) and meant to educate users. There is nothing wrong in giving do-follow links if the site "really deserves" it. So make sure to double check every outbound link in the post. Make sure to use images with credits or with permission. It's up to you how many links you want to give away from each post but avoid any commercial anchor texts links. It's better to accept the authors who have previously contributed in that niche but if the author is new and the pitched topics are interesting, give them the chance as the new bloggers sometimes can be beneficial. Hope this helps! Umar

Hi guys, I thought you'd be interested in a follow up on this. So I submitted my sitemap to Bing - all good, no issues, Bing successfully retrieved it. However after submitting it, my site has effectively disappeared from the SERPs! A number of internal pages are being indexed, but the head/brand queries (where I was ranking incorrectly at #1) are now showing nothing. Very strange. Not sure what else I can do - luckily Bing accounts for a tiny fraction of my traffic! Cheers Karl
