Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ryan Interesting reading and i know what you mean about Google being response. Again thank you for your help as thats helped us move forward in our marketing for the summer season. Many thanks Mark

It looks like the site was just registered in January, which means it's fairly new. Moz updates their index about once a month, so it takes a little while to crawl and display the links. In addition, Moz isn't able to crawl the entire web (though their index is getting a lot bigger), so they may miss some of your links.

Hi Everyone. How are your campaigns looking? Our engineers deployed a permanent fix but wanted to make sure it was able to apply to your campaigns.

Ha! I had no idea. Thanks Hutch. You teach me something new everyday!

yes could be - but I just don't like errors

It sounds like you may already know this, but other people reading this post for advice may not.  Don't forget to make sure Google didn't take any manual actions against the website when it was compromised. You can do by checking Google WMT under "Search Traffic" -> "Manual Actions". If Google did impose a manual action you will need to submit a reconsideration request to Google. These requests can take 2-3 weeks to process. I hope that helps!

There's a 100 different ways to do this, but typically my favorite approach is to try to work the synonym into the same copy without seeming spammy. For example, if my primary keyword is "GMO" and my very literal synonym is "Genetically Modified Organism" then I'd try to work both variations into the copy. <title>GMO Dangers - Knowing the Risks of Genetically Modified Organisms</title> Here's a great article that goes into depth about the advantages of incorporating multiple variants into your SEO targeting http://cognitiveseo.com/blog/5370/941-traffic-increase-exploiting-the-synonyms-seo-ranking-technique/

Hi Erik With this setup - I fear you will have issues later on as well when trying to optimise the site for SEO (which part of the site will be accessible for the Google bot?) Rather than for Server Side redirects (based on ip) I would offer first time visitors to "Choose your country" page - and store their choice in a cookie, so they are redirected to the proper site on subsequent visits. As an example of what I mean: http://www.volvocars.com/language-selector. This way you can validate the webmastertools using both GA or HTML file. If that is not an option, than DNS seems to be the only proper way to do the validation (it is not as complicated as it may seem) rgds, Dirk

Good answer! ¡Thanks to everybody for your help! Talk us soon!

That's a good idea.   Then you will have some evidence that you were correct in advising not to go down this path.   I would get screenshots to document. There are lots of interesting comments on that google announcement, and lots of articles about it, as it was only released yesterday.

Fully agree - would definitely ask for nofollow links.

Totally agree with Dirk.  If the links offer value to the visitor and if grouped are tightly and obviously associated with the theme of the page then they should always be left as is.  If there is a hint of paid for they should be no-follow, but in essence having no-follow means you don't trust the page/site so why have it there in the first place (unless there is some commercial interest in having it there).

Hi Guys, We have structured data errors similar to this for the website named Sculpt Australia. It says unparsable structured  data errors in search console. It's a shopify store. Not sure if these errors affect the rankings. Please help if possible.

cool thanks i see the tick so that confirms that strucutred data testing tool can make you think its not set up when it actually is in the circumstance where you havnt added any code!/ We have set up webmaster tools long ago but not sure with what email address since so many in the oragnisation for this client. So are you saying if we havnt with same email address then theres a problem ? (the tick is there) thanks for that resource, although it doesnt answer my question since says it was a bug and now working again so i need to know how you get a brand box bakc in the Knowledge graph, any tips welcomed

Thanks to all, i have learnt more

Hi Miriam, Thanks for your reply.  Yext may be overkill for what I want right now, so I'm going to try Moz Local and another, less well known service (LocalSiteSubmit) and see which seems to do the best job of showing me the status quo, and fixing errors and omissions.   Sort of an A/B test for site submit tools.      Looking forward to trying the Moz tool, I have a lot of respect for the entire Moz brand so imagine this will be another solid tool. Appreciate your response!     ~Michael

Hi Deedra, Are you saying you have multiple physical locations from which you are serving multiple cities, or just one physical location from which you are serving multiple cities? And, also, are you meeting with clients face-to-face or is this a virtual business model? These nuances are important.

You can define what sites results are returned. Which is why I said I would be great for domains with sub-domains. Its been awhile but I think you have to upgrade to paid to turn off Google ads from showing up. There was some reason besides the "Custom Look" which moved us to paying for it. It is super easy to install, you can make a blank page on your site and use the free version and see how you like it. We did this before going to paid. Hope that helps Monica, Don
