Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, thanks for your reply. Just a quick question: do we really need to implement hreflang tags since our site contains already es-Es as a language in the header??  http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="es-ES"> And how could we direct to an alternate version since we only have 1 version which is spanish anyhow?Thanks for your comments!

The pagerank won't update. What you have now is what you'll have (probably forever). Good thing is that pagerank doesn't count. Your low DA/PA is due to the few links or low quality links you may have. If you want to increase it, you'll need more links (from high PA pages of course).

It's likely that as the mobile update takes place Google will remove the tagging as it'll be redundant. Nearly everything in their mobile results should be mobile friendly.

When you are going after long tail traffic the queries that you might connect with are  A) infinite in number;  B) diverse in their wording;  and,  C) extremely low in volume. Because long tail word sequences usually have a low volume it is best not to fuss about getting    precisely    the     right    word   sequence.   Instead, it is best to write using natural language. It is more important to increase the diversity of words on your page.  You can do that by writing about paintings of mule deer for your den, framed prints of whitetail deer on the edge of a cornfield for your office,  matted photos of fawns in the laurel for the nursery, a water color of an eight point buck by the lake for above the fireplace at your camp.    Note we are diversifying the deer, their environment, the room where they will be displayed, the medium and the mountings -- all on the same page. This diversity allows you to present a substantive article that will be qualified to appear in search for an enormous number of keywords and even though you never mentioned exactly a "framed painting of an eight point whitetail for your den" on this page, if someone searches for it this page of content is qualified to appear in search for it and if your website has a little power, this page might rank well for it. Also, people buying paintings might shop deep into the SERPs or view the image results.  So even if you are not at the top of the first page of the SERPs you might still get some action.  And, load pages like these up with a number of images because image SERP shopping can pull in conversions for this type of merchandise.

What I usually do is  set the website up on a staging area set up at example.com   and modify my local host file with the ip address of the staging area with domain and access the site via example.com

I was actually trying to give you the tools to figure out what's cached and indexed. You can just run a site search for the content and look at the cache, though. For example: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wIHvFryFPo4J:www.kingskolacheny.com/%23!cateringandcontact/c1d94+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us If nothing shows up it's probably not indexed.

TTFB is server time, spent processing the http request. So you have more than a load of things to look after, in order to improve response time, it largely depends on the technology stack you are using. You may need to review your server side code, your sql queries, your infrastructure. Anyway more often than not is a matter of poor backend coding.

Google prefers local phone numbers that connect directly to the place of business, but in recent times, they have allowed toll free numbers into their system. You can read the guidelines here: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en

Lol, thanks!

Hello there! I understand email overload far too well! To lend a hand heres the details: The email should be structures as such: Fresh Alert: "QUERY HERE". If you have any questions feel free to reach our team via help@moz.com.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help! I really appreciate it!

That's right you posted that about link research tools in my other question but I haven't checked them out yet I will do that asap. I definitely have some more investigation to do but I still think that having a massive portion of their site as duplicate content is hurting. I will talk to them about adding content and see where that goes.

Just to update you all, it went through fine GBL now ranks #1 for all MRL terms, e.g cheap logo design Thanks!

Hi Kingalan - first off, I'd recommend checking out http://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday which will give you a pretty good overview of what Spam Score is and how it works. I wouldn't worry about firing two flags - Moz triggers a few, and many good sites do as well. If they're things you want to fix anyway, go for it, but Spam Score flags aren't about saying "this is necessarily bad" or "this definitely needs fixing." It's merely identifying features that, when added together, show correlations with sites we saw Google penalize/ban. As far as your links go - that distribution seems fine to me, too. If you want, you could look at the highest flag count links and if you believe they're problematic after manually reviewing, go ahead and give them the boot (via disavow or getting the site to remove them). The flag count is merely to help you order your manual review - it should never replace the process of actually looking at those links and determining which should be kept/removed.

Thank you Kristina. This is extremely helpful! Your detailed response is greatly appreciated! Tina

Thanks for the idea Michael.  I am not sure this would work with a long web form submission.

No, 302 redirect do not pass link juice. See: http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Correct.

I was wondering if in the meantime this fix has been set up yet? Or in which stage of development it is? I still cannot delete those page+keyword combinations that make no sense.So I guess no solution has been developed yet. Still would like to know where you stand with this?
