Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am still having the same issue as well. Definitely shoot them over an email and see what happens. I will do the same. Hopefully they are already looking into it for us. I will keep you posted if they get back to me on it.

Ahhh ok I follow you

Yes, in that case, that is be a much better approach! Thanks for clearing that up. Cheers!

Hey James!

The typical form of press releases being spun across a network of PR sites is a dark path. Over the years Google has implemented several algorithmic changes to discount these links.

Before going this route be sure to read up on Google's link scheme guidelines. Would hate to see you (or anyone for that matter) caught up being penalized. Consider Press Release links as "Nofollow" and be sure not to use multiple links with keyword optimized anchor text to avoid any penalties.

We stopped using press releases 10+ years ago and have focused our efforts in other areas of value.

Press releases that are sourced from the press side is where you'll get the most value. Those are difficult to acquire but they are the best source for links & referrals. Hope this helps! Cheers James!

I love it, thats awesome!!

Sounds like a great strategy and all you have to do now is rinse/repeat. Seems to me like you are becoming quite the expert, but I respect your humbleness. I know a good amount of self-proclaimed "SEO Experts" who've been in the business for years that can't think outside the box enough to pull off what you are doing.

Great work DLG, cheers!!

Hey DLG, thanks!

I'd love to hear more about what has worked for you in regards to guest posting. Please do tell

Hey DLG! Great question...

It won't hurt to resubmit but i guess it just depends on "how often" you make changes.

There was a thread on this about a year ago, take a look. Hope this helps! Cheers

Ha haaa!! No thinkLukeSEO, you aren't trippin'!

Yes, while gaining links by commenting on related blog articles may improve your rankings, they are still just low quality links. Depending on who you are up against in the SERP's and the competitiveness of the keyword you are targeting, this method may or may not move the needle. If this method is working in your scenario, I would be willing to bet that your competition must also have low quality links pointing to their site. Or very few links.

If you want high quality links you just have to dig deep, research and create valuable, high-quality content on your site that your target audience will find valuable. Share it, do outreach and make sure it can be found! Though these type of backlinks are harder to achieve, when you get them they are worth more than a hundred blog comments. At least in my experience this has proven true.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a spam-free internet to browse and find reputable sources for all of our search queries? Sadly that just isn't the case today. But we can dream, can't we! LOL

Cheers Luke!!

Thank for for jumping in Kristina!

I am still not seeing the conversation bubble using the latest Chrome browser (version 59.0.3071.109)

I had a similar issue a few years back using Firefox and was able to resolve it by disabling my browser add-ons one by one until the feature worked again. Do you think I should try disabling my chrome extensions to see if that fixes it? Funny I only made the switch from Firefox to Chrome because of how buggy the Moz toolbar was (in FF). Look at me now lol

Any help is much appreciated!

Nice! That's what this community is all about! Glad we could help

If you are using filezilla that video should help you get everything sorted out. Best of luck!!

Hey there!

Have you seen the webinar from Moz called  "When we changed from SEOmoz.org to Moz.com"

Might be able to shed some light for you. Good luck with everything, cheers!

Yes you are correct, you need to provide the path to access your xml sitemap. Add your sitemap to the root directory of your domain via FTP then you should be all set. Try submitting again using the url

Hope this helps!

My pleasure Imran! Glad you found my response useful

My best advice here would be to NOT spend much (if any) of your time worrying about DA/PA. You will quickly drive yourself crazy doing so. Similar to watching your rankings from day to day, right? You will end up going bananas over it, for nothing. Not to say that you shouldn't be aware and check in on them front time to time but... you get it.

To answer your question, although the amount of traffic the article receives will help readers find the link back to your web page, I don't believe it will have any effect on the link being indexed. However, the backlinks that article earns over time will most certainly help. Share that article and get the word out! Congrats on the publication, great stuff!!

My pleasure Taylor If you don't mind tapping that "Good Answer" button, it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

I agree with Donna. Just rip the bandaid off and do it all in one shot!

Hey there! Here are some basic principles to follow...

Step 1: Add a blog to your site

Step 2: Publish articles about relevant, industry related topics that your readers will find valuable

Step 3: Share your article(s) on social media outlets

Step 4: Perform outreach

Here is a great article on the topic from Neil Patel. Read up, read it again and then get to work!

This should get you moving in the right direction. Hope this helps!

Hey Jeff!

Was just going through some old questions I asked and realized I never gave credit for your answer!

Thanks again bud, cheers!

Yes Nikki, great addition about avoiding redirect chains! Redirects are useful and difficult to avoid in most cases but redirecting to a redirect should always be avoided for the sake of Page Speed and common sense Cheers!!

Hmmm... now that you mention it, I am using Chrome and have not seen the messenger feature down there over the past few days. I wonder if there is an issue with it or if it is an isolated issue in Chrome.

Moz? Any ideas or feedback on this?

Hey Imran!

From what I've experienced and been told by Moz, it can take up to two months for new links to appear in OSE. This is due to the way their crawls are scheduled.

But to answer your question, your links should show up within two months unless anything new has changed with the way Moz crawls the web. Hope this helps!!

Hey Taylor!

From what I know the best way to ensure your page shows up at the top when searched in Facebook is as follows:

1. Make sure your Brand name and FB URL match

2. Confirm you have the proper category set for your Page

3. Have a completed profile with thorough details about your business. *The About section plays a key role in FB search queries

4. Content, Content, Content (create and share high quality content with your audience)

5. Engage and interact with your audience

I know these sound basic but sometimes as marketers we get so wrapped up in everything else that we overlook them and end up scratching our heads...

Hope this helps!
