Is there anyway to see historic data?
Hi, On the keyword ranking page in your campaign there's a button on the right hand side, just above the graph that you can use to send yourself an email with all the historic ranking data in .csv format. It includes ranking data for you and any competitors that you've set up on all of the search engines you set up in your campaign. For some of my campaigns, this goes back years! Was there other historic search data you were trying to get?

Is there a way to see Crawl Errors older than 90 days in Webmaster Tools?
What you also could do is run a crawl on your site with XENU or ScreamingFrog to find urls that return a 404 error. If they do they'll probably need a redirect. Next to that could you check the list of internal links within Google Webmaster Tools, if you know how the old structure looked like you'll be able to redirect them as well if they still show up.

Is it better to stick with a generic LocalBusiness Schema Itemtype for a particular type of business or should you get more specific?
Yeah... Thanks. You caught me being lazy with the CSS. Rather than create a separate class for that H2 and text, I opted for some in line CSS and never went in and updated the overall CSS. It's an older site done in Concrete5, which I build everything in, and it makes it too easy to cut those corners and that website has not had a design refresh in couple years. Regardless, it dominates its local sub-market online. Thanks for the continued info!

I agree with Joey. In addition to looking at who your customers are. I'd also do a little snooping to see what you're competitors are doing and see how you compare.

How to know website is hit with panda or penguin?
Are you able to determine the date(s) on which your decline started? Often correlating that with the dates from the Moz algorithm guide can help: http://moz.com/google-algorithm-change A quick look at your backlink profile definitely has me concerned for Penguin. SEMRush.com shows a big drop in traffic that coincides with May 2013. Given that Penguin updated May 22, 2013, then this makes me think even more that Penguin is the problem. There could be other issues though too. I see a lot of sites that work hard to clean up backlink profiles but they can have other problems as well. My main concern is that I'm not sure if you have good links in your profile. I'm not saying that you don't, but when I look at your links sorted by anchor text, they all seem to be self made links that are only there so that Google rankings can be manipulated. If Penguin has hit you then it means that those links are discounted. (It also means that a filter has been placed on your site so it can't have a chance to rank well again until you clean up your links and Penguin reruns.) I see a lot sites that clean up their backlinks and then wonder why they didn't recover from Penguin, when really the issue is that there is nothing left once the cleanup is done. Hopefully that is not the case with you!

How to get Root Domain backlinks with OSE
How Howard! Mozbar is showing the # of all links to all pages on the root domain. In OSE you are only seeing the # of links to just the domain in the screenshot. Ryan is correct about the 25 link limit per root domain. Between 22 root domains linking to you, there are 2112 links. You can see the full breakdown of Page, Sub-domain, and root-domain metrics here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons?site=www.24hourpassportandvisas.com Hope this helps!

Things I still get about backlinks
A: Links from banner vs Content ? Content, always from the content, google like contextual links B: Backlinks from India SEO company do they hurt our link profile? If you think this backlink could not be good for your domain authority, use Disavow and sleep better, but I would not worry so much as soon as there are just couple of links, variety is also important. Should I ping my links using tools or have my friends click on them ? Nah, let them index alone. Patience is very important for SEO How many links should I try to build a week ? Depends on your niche and competitors, im working in a niche with low-medium competence and im creating 10 links / month, im ranking extrem well. E: Does the position of a backlink matter (in case your able to select position) I also like to write the backlink in the first paragraph so that google robot follow it as soon as possible, but i´m not really sure if this is a factor xD F) Link profile I would not use links on sidebars/footers for a link building factor, but for getting referred traffic interested on your niche. Always nofollow.

Disavow links of my own in niche forums that i post to regularly?
When I make decisions on links like this I base my decisions on overall intent and scale. If you've got a small handful of links like these and they're not keyword anchored then I'd leave them. But, if this is your main way of getting links then I'd be more concerned. From my experience in dealing with manual penalties, the majority of the time when Google gives us an example from a forum, it's really obvious that it's an unnatural link. It'll usually have a keyword anchor or really not make sense to be there other than for the SEO value. I would think that the same logic goes in to Penguin decisions. The other factor that may weigh in to my decision making is what other types of links come from those forum posts. If there were links to casino and porn, etc then I'd be worried Google would not like the quality of links in those forums. That doesn't sound like it applies to you. No one knows for sure, when it comes to Penguin, but that's what I'd do.
