Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I tried SEMRUSH and they are a great tool, but's very limited for the free version.

Thanks guys,

I see there isn't an all in one / magic pill tool to use.

I've tried that.  They will only allow you to compare 2 sites at once.

I'm banging my head on this one.  In the past I was able to use Compete.com, Quancast, Google Trends, and Alexa, but now all these sites either required you to have Pro membership (pay) or they discontinue it like Google Trends for website.

I need to do this comparison for one of my client... their traffic versus 4 of their competitors.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have a blessed Day,

Benny

I'm still pretty new to this and I was wondering if there is a free software, one of Moz or free out on the the internet that allows you to check bad links. I've done a lot of link building with citations and directories that for my clients industry.  I just don't want to add their website and profile to a bad/risky directory and it penalizes my clients.  I've seen a few out there, but I need one that is respectable and reliable.  Any suggestions?  I found one called bad neighborhood http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm.

Thanks Again,

Benny

Thank You Keri.  Like I said, I love the new look and all the cool stuff, but I still wan that simple keywords ranking report in a PDF format.  Most of clients like that simple/graphic look versus a spreadsheet.

I love the new interface with all the bells and whistles, but I Iove the old layout where you can export a simple weekly keyword ranking for my clients.  Right now, I am having issues just exporting any kind of PDF reports.  Is there something going or some glitch?  I have tried 3 different browsers and still have the same problem.  All I get is the ajax wheel spinning and then it times out.  All I want is old simple pdf report of keyword ranking so I can send to my clients.

Please help.

Yes, I just disabled the javascript.  The slider was a big part of the design.

We have a slider on our site www.cannontrading.com, but the owner didn't like it, so I disabled it. And, each slider contains link & content as well. We had another SEO guy tell me it considered cloaking.  Is this True?  Please give feedbacks.

Thanks for the quick response.  Glad that it wasn't something I did.

Has anyone else experienced their Domain Authority Score Drop in the last 2 weeks.  I have 6 sites and all of their DA dropped between 2-4 points.  At the beginning I thought it was just my Wordpress sites, but it happened to all my sites.  If anyone has any answers, please enlighten me.  Is it Google?  Last time this happened was in March 2013 and raised all the scores back up and now as of lately, they all have dropped.

Thanks Shane,

That was very simple and to the point.  I am doing SEO on a php site where there's a header and a footer and I didin't know how to add the canoical tag to the header correctly and the On page.  Thanks again.

If we had a company doing articles submissions and they stop doing it, would this affect DA score and the keyword rankings?  Like I said, I haven't changed anything to the site except taking 50 unranked keywords from t he campaign and adding it to our other two websites campaign.

We have 3 websites that are on 3 different campaigns.  Our flagship website is www.cannontrading.com.  The Domain Authority score on it was 42.  When I first (Mid November 2012) started, we had 295 keywords allocated for Cannontrading.com and 5 other keywords for allocated to our other websites... e-futures.com and e-mini.com.  What I wanted to do was optimize the other two pages and I did this by taking taking 50 the keywords that were not ranked in the top 50 from Cannontrading.com and assigned them to the our other two sites.  Could this have caused the drastic drop in the score?  Our keyword rankings for the "Top 3" has dropped from 93 to 34 since November 2012.

We did have a company that did article submissions for us up till October 2012.  Could this have caused our drop in the Domain Authority Score and our Keyword Rankings?

I didn't make any other changes to Cannon website beside taking away those keywords and given them to our other sites.

Any suggestions or thoughts would really help me.

Yeah! That was actually the first time I had even heard of Yandex. Of course the issue is that I haven't searched in the Russian version of our keyword using the .ru SE as I'm not sure about any linguistic differences that Google Translate wouldn't account for (it's a financial industry term).

I'm sure we're not ranked highly in the Russian version of the SE though, as we don't have a Russian version of the site! haha

You're definitely right about the discrepancies, I pay so much attention to Google that I had forgotten the other SE's show large discrepancies for many of our key phrases/terms.

My thought on the penalty for a certain phrase was that it had to do with the search volume of that phrase, but that's just speculation. I suppose only time and further SEO work will tell.

When did Google state they didn't penalize your site in rankings? I thought that's been a trend for years now when you broke the webmaster guidelines in a way that wasn't strong enough to be banned but strong enough to warrant penalty.

Sharing the URL of websites I work on seems like a bad idea to me, so I'll keep it to myself for now. The keyword is "highly competitive" 53%, as determined by SEOMoz's tool and our page has been optimized for this keyword for 5+ years now - hence why we were on page 1 from before 2005 - 2011.

Only once we were banned from Google were we unable to move above the first spot on Page 3, despite regaining #3 rankings in Yahoo and Bing. I don't usually see that large of discrepancies between the SE's, am I wrong?

My one thought is that this also coincides with the release of Panda, though our site has no duplicate content issues.
