Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Andy. My Website is already verified in google news & following all the guidelines still its not coming. We post 4-5 posts on daily basis.

Thanks for both your answers. i actually didnt spot it in the category text which is what got me digging deeper. Again thanks Andy

Hi Gareth, Most email companies function on a monthly fee, which then is factored in how many emails you send per month through them. Many companies choose to separate out their transactional emails and their marketing emails to keep costs down. Some great ESPs out there: MailChimp, My Emma, Blue Hornet, StrongView, and Marketo, just to name a few.

I've taken a look into the issue and it seems there is no duplication issues in Moz, so I'm going to consider all okay.

If they are professional writers and do excellent excellent work I might do it as a reward.  Be strict with this. Also, you need to review their Google+ profile to be sure that it does not contain content that is disagreeable for any of your visitors who might go there.  Reserve the right to remove the link and be very clear about reserving that right. This will require some administration work from you, and some traffic loss.  So you got to be getting value from it.  Overall, if it keeps content quality very high, I would not have a problem linking to a google+ page at the bottom of the article.   I have done this.  I have also linked to faculty members university page if they write an article for my site.  They enjoy this and often link back to my site to share their article with others.

Hi There, Thanks for writing us and I hope this message finds you all amazingly well! While we generally try not to make direct comparisons to competitors, we do love speaking on Moz. Moz is generally excellent because we will actively manage the listing for the course of a year, so edits and to the listing are a part of an annual subscription. After taking a look into Bright Local it seems that they are a monthly service and may have a different policy on edits and changes. David Mihm does an awesome job of covering some of the advanced reporting available in Moz Local. https://moz.com/blog/announcing-local-reporting I would review that and hopefully other users who have encountered Bright Local in the past, can better speak to the services they provide. In the meantime if you have any questions for me let me know!

Thanks for the responses. All content will live on the same domain. So we're releasing this product in BETA and are waiting to let Google know about it until all the bugs are out. About 50% of the content will have the same date, while the other 50% was published sporadically over the last year, all with different date stamps. Unfortunately, we need to launch all this content at once because the project relies on us being comprehensive. It'll look thin if we don't include everything we created. Of course, as we move forward and add content, we will definitely employ a calendar of 2-3 articles a week and date stamps will reflect that schedule. There will never be a big content dump like this again. As for promotion, we have a schedule for all this new content so we are spreading our outreach out over time. So in a nutshell, it sounds like it won't hurt me (or help me) to have a bulk of our content reflect the same date stamp.

You can definitely use Fresh Web Explorer (part of your Pro subscription) to track and get alerts.

No, you're not crazy, and you're not doing anything wrong. Twitter's advertising platform is still younger and somewhat less sophisticated than Facebook or Google. Some metrics such as audience size for keyword targeting are simply missing. As for geo-targeting, Twitter does provide the following options: Country State/Providence/Region Metro Area Postal Code Which while not as specific as Google Adwords Targeting, does allow you to narrow it down. My advice when working with Twitter is to experiment with smaller groups at first. As with any platform, the learning curve can be fairly steep. Hope that helps!

Hey Patrick, Adam's most important tip is to use creativity to not make these page read in a robotic, repetitive fashion ... that applies to how you write all tags, as well as main body copy. (Good point, Adam!). Personally, I wouldn't worry about a number of times you repeat a keyword in the text. Trying to meet numeric quotas can kill creativity. Write as beautifully and helpfully as you can on every page you publish, and you'll probably find that you are naturally optimizing all tags and text without having to jump through any hoops to do so.

Here is my take on this! In my personal opinion all TLDs are similar in the eye of Google it’s just that people tend to consider .edu, .gov and .org links more authoritative and link to it naturally as compare to .com and .net domains and which is why special TLDs tend to win the race but this is not always the case. My advice is to see if the org domain has a good and clean link profile and if they are getting a link from quality sources, then go for it and if not the idea is to pass it like any other non-quality domain you pass. In my opinion, saying that Google give importance to some domains as compare to others is nothing but a myth. Hope this helps!

I agree with Adam, the reason why I would recommend adding full URLs in the internal links is because if some other blog reshare (if not steal) your content and put it up on their own blog, the links (if not full URLs) will be broken. Adding full URLs will allow new audience to reach out to you without a problem. Hope this helps!

Couple things.  Why not put something in the dashboard telling people what happened to the report?  I spent way too much time looking for it and had to do a forum search to find out what happened. Also, I understand that the report is not accurate so just take out the traffic numbers but give us the Fresh Web Explorer right in the dashboard with a decent downloadable report.  The .csv report is not going to cut it when I am trying to build reports for my customers. In the end you have taken value out of the Pro product and moved us to the free Fresh Web Explorer tool.  That doesn't make me feel real good about the value of my monthly subscription.

Panda is a site-wide reduction in rankings.  Site-wide. So, if you have crap on the site your good content will suffer right along with the crap. The days of publishing crap are over if you want lots of traffic from Google.

Hi Stephen If the listing cancelled and is no longer in your dashboard, you will have to go through the purchasing process to resubmit the listing. If you previously submitted the data from a CSV file you can re-upload that. Here are the steps: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing

Hey, You may come up with headings like that according to your page to eliminate any confusion. And yes I agree the content length would be extended but this is what a visitor expects when he visit a particular degree page, i.e. to get all the information. If you think, the page would look ugly you may come up with cool graphics, in-page content navigation and things like that to make it more user-friendly. Umar

You got it. Change the parent URL and the child pages' URLs will change accordingly (with 301s as well).

The tough thing here is that you're basically asking which is the less bad of two bad options. That's rough; I feel for you. Personally, I'd advocate taking an approach like the topic-focused one in Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts": https://moz.com/blog/keywords-to-concepts I know it's hard, but you'll be doing a great service to your client by educating her on why her tail-chasing approach is a waste of time. Otherwise, the two approaches you've described are pretty much equally ineffective, so flip a coin, my friend.
