Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

Why using small, that smaller text inside tags ? You can replace this with a div or span with class "small "for example, and create the same effect with :

.small {font-size: smaller; }

Hello,

It depends on several factors, including :

• age of your domains
• number of links to your site
• number of domains to your site
• anchor of links

I used to have many links from one domain (several thousand URLs) to my homepage, with exact anchor keyword. That was a bad idea, and shortly my website have been penalized for that keyword. At least you should verify if the links have exact anchor text or branding anchor text.

You may add some questions or suggestions before the textarea in order to help users to post longer reviews :
what you love? on the contrary, what has displeased you? Would you recommend the site / product to a friend? Have you been satisfied with the packaging, delivery ...

Hello,

One image is missing at url http://thumannagency.com/tpl/design1450/img/bg.jpg . It will not penalized your rankings but you may correct this problem for your users.

Hello,

Think about domains like wordpress.com, blogspot.com, ... Can Google let these domains be penalized because one or few subdomains have been penalized ? It can't.

Hello,

You may respond to ALL negative reviews and encourage your customers to post reviews on this site. And try to get a lot of reviews from trusted sources like Yelp, Google Local, ... You can also use service like GetFiveStars to improve your rankings and get rich snippet for your home page or product page.

Hello

I don't see problem if you redirect users after they choose their market. But you may add an option to change another market in case of mistake.

Hello,

Have you send a new sitemap to help Google knows new URLs ?

Hello,

No problem with these URLs, Drupal returns a 403 correctly because crawlers try to get draft content. Google and other search engines will not penalized you because of that : you can think of cart URLs or account URLs for ecommerce websites that may returns 403 the same way.

Months ago it was still possible to create entries in Freebase ( https://developers.google.com/freebase/ ) that could be reuse in Google Knowledge Graph. Now it's completely closed and you have to create webpages, perhaps with schema in order to be added to Knowledge Graph.

Hello,

If you want to speed up the process of deindexing, after setup all noindex tags you could upload a sitemap in GSC with all URLs you want to be crawled again.

Hello,

There was a Google Update Quality in June, so this update may have been impacted your rankings.

More info here : http://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/june-2016-google-algorithm-update/

Hello,

In my opinion you should put rel=nofollow on all external/affiliate links (and prey not be penalized by Google Animals)

Hello,

I think I should choose the second one. But be careful with that solution, and put IDs in URL with automatic redirect.
For example www.website.com/product-category/product-page => www.website.com/phone/iphone-1234.html

If you change product-category name (phone => smartphone or apple phone) or product-page name (iphone => iphone 5), old URLs can be automatically redirected with simple conditionnal code at the beginning of your server code (load name with ID and the compare with URL)

Hello,

If your friends don't have money to generate 404, what he expects from his website in the end? A single webpage? CV ? 
Without money you can still have a Facebook page, Google local, Wordpress blog... All are already optimized.

(for a web developer redirect to 404 will take few minutes)

I think you're talking about Domain Authority, Page Authority and Spam Score ?

Spam Score will help you detect bad links so you should remove or disallow them.

Domain and Page Authority will help you find your best links, and find opportunities by analyzing the profile links of your competitors.

Hello,

I think the most important is to find an easy to remember domain name, whether in .com, .net or with new extension. SEO will be the same !

When you submit a sitemap, there is NO guarantee about 1) indexation delay 2) indexation at all. You've just send a set of URLs to be examined by Google. If you have a recent domain, poor quality content or duplicate Google may index only relevant webpages.

There is no guarantee that Google will use Title html tag in search results. In many cases Google rewrite titles to better reflect keywords searched.

Ok thanks Christie for your answer. It's curious no one even ask this question before.
