Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your input Aaron. Makes a lot of sense to me.

I am working on a campaign with someone and have been talking back and forth about some keyword usage thoughts. More precisely multiple keywords that are similar and how to use them on the page for best results in ranking without diluting our own work to rank well.

Example:

Keywords:
Vehicle Wraps
Vehicle Wraps Phoenix
Phoenix Vehicle Wraps
Car Wraps
Car Wraps Phoenix
Phoenix Car Wraps

One thought is that the keywords are so similar that it would best benefit us to target one page to the grouping of like keywords and long-tail keywords, and not making separate pages as to create competition for the same keyword within the site itself. Also that Google is "smart" enough to see that car wraps and vehicle wraps are like keywords, and that car wraps when linked to a site from Phoenix, will also pull as Car Wraps Phoenix.

The other thought is we target one page for each separate keyword although the keywords are so similar.

What are your thoughts? I wanted to ask all of your thoughts as I am sure your feedback will be enlightening. (Always helpful!!)

Thank you!

Awesome! yea I submitted them to bing and google by hand, I just figured it couldn't hurt to have it in my robots too.

Appreciate the feedback

Hello,

I have a hopefully simple question but I wanted to ask to get a "second opinion" on what to do in this situation. I am working on a clients robots.txt and we have multiple sitemaps. Using yoast I have my sitemap_index.xml and I also have a sitemap-image.xml I do put them in google and bing by hand but wanted to have it added into the robots.txt for insurance. So my question is, when having multiple sitemaps called out on a robots.txt file does it matter if one is before the other? From my reading it looks like you can have multiple sitemaps called out, but I wasn't sure the best practice when writing it up in the file.

Example:

User-agent: *

Disallow: 

Disallow: /cgi-bin/

Disallow: /wp-admin/

Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/

Sitemap: http://sitename.com/sitemap_index.xml

Sitemap: http://sitename.com/sitemap-image.xml

Thanks a ton for the feedback, I really appreciate it! :)

Had to completely disconnect then re-validate my google account from scratch. Worked. Thank you for the advice.

I did get the auto: "Thanks for writing to Moz!" email on Jan 2. So I should be good as far as having it not marked as spam.

Thanks for the feedback

Hello,

My campaigns are disconnected from Google and I keep reconnecting them getting the success (green) message, but when I refresh my browser they are disconnected again. How do I fix this problem? I emailed customer support for help but haven't received any feedback. Does anyone have any advice, or just be patient and wait for feedback?

I did do a search for the problem, and looked at the "health page" that is why I emailed customer support but I have yet to get any feedback. So I figured ask the community.

Thank you so much for your help

I am helping a company get their social profiles and networking in order, and just realized that they have a facebook page that is their

"company page" - https://www.facebook.com/Capitol.Collision.Repair.Phoenix

and one that is a person called their company: https://www.facebook.com/capitol.collisonis their any benefit to having both of them still active or should I just get rid of the "personal profile" and keep the company page?

any advice would be really helpful!

Thank you,

Awesome! this actually worked for one of my accounts. Unfortunately one of my accounts wont let me do this, or unlink them so I can do this. From what I am reading it has to do when and how the Youtube or Google+ profile was created. This was very helpful. I am going to keep playing with my owners/managers, and logging in with different users, and info to see if I can eventually get this to work properly.

I am debating deleting the unwanted Google+ profile, and seeing if it will then allow me to attach a different google+ profile to the youtube channel. I am afraid that deleting the unwanted Google+ Profile will also delete the attached (wanted) youtube channel.

Hello,
I am working on one of my clients projects and would love some advice before making some changes to their Google+ and Youtube account. We created the youtube account before Google+ and Youtube combined so we have a seperate name for the Youtube and Google+ Profile. They were created using separate emails, but both emails are managers of each others "account." We can't combine the two as it won't give me the option, only the option to create a new Youtube channel based on the Google+ Profile. But I already have videos loaded up on the Older Channel that I would like to keep and use for my current Google+ Profile. I have tried to disconnect the Youtube channel to hopefully get the option to link the two, but it just says it is a unavailable option.

So my question is:
What advice do you guys have with any of this type of Youtube and Google+ mismatch profile/channels? I am not finding much online besides links to unattaching accounts but that is giving me a message saying that it isn't possible.

Or would creating a new channel linked to the Google+ page and just reuploading the videos/transcripts be my best bet?

Thank you for your feedback, and if you want anymore details (I know this description when not looking at the accounts might not be enough info, feel free to ask.) I really appreciate it.

Good idea! I appreciate the time and feedback, Thank you!

I will try what you said on a few slider images and see if it shows the images when crawled. Maybe I can pop the the same images as the links out on some of them so they are still being used on the page and not lose too much "juice"

Hello again,

I have received an update request where they want me to remove images from this site (as of now its a bunch of thumbnails) current page design: http://1stimpressions.com/portfolio/car-wraps/

and turn it into a new design which utilized a slider (such as this): http://1stimpressions.com/portfolio/

They don't want the thumbnails on the page anymore. My question is since my site has a image sitemap that has been indexed will removing all the images hurt my SEO greatly? What would the recommended steps to take to reduce any SEO damage be, if so?

Thank you again for your help, always great and very helpful feedback!

cheers!

Wow thank you guys for the great responses. I will definitely go into WMT and make the suggested changes, and yes you are correct I want the non www version.

My manager is asking:

So would having the www version not show up in my "https://www.google.com/#q=site:www.allprofleetpainting.com" search hurt us at all?

and I am sorry for rephrasing/re-asking the question I just want to make sure I am saying to him the right answer. Which I am gathering as long as we 'have the 301 redirect, the preferred domain selected, and its the link we want to use wont hurt our SEO value.'

Hello, I am working on a clients social networking campaign and have found a Google+ page for their company. It looks like it was created approx a year ago. The client doesn't know who created it or what account has control of it in their network.

I need to make a Google+ page for them so I can use it in their marketing that I can actually access. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on how I can either:

Find the owner/email that is associated with the Google+ Page?

or

Have it removed so I can create a fresh one?

which I know I can report the page as compromised but will that work in a timely manner?

Please any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!!

Jeff

Thank you for your awesome insight, and resources. Very much appreciated!

Brilliant point about future usage and the thought process on its value vs possible action.

thank you for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it!

We want to set up a kiosk in our lobby where our clients can review us on google places, while they wait or are helped.

If they log in under their own account (different users) will the reviews posted be allowed? So coming from the same IP but different users.

thanks for your input.

We're changing one of our site to word press from flash and the old site had no content, so everything is going to be different. Should we try to match the page names and small amount of content and large amount of meta tags for now and slowly change them, or is it alright to change everything right now? The site has good ranking and I don't want to mess it up.

It seems that articles I've written about the transmission industry and submitted aren't being noticed by Google. The sites I've submitted them to were free sites, so my question is should I pay to submit them, or pay a service to submit them for me? Or, should I just continue to submit them myself to as high a ranking site as I can find?
