Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Chris!

Sounds like a good idea. I'm just trying to provide basic data on a potential clients' site - traffic, rankings, main errors and things that are working for them. Some tools actually do a pretty good job of this, but only seem to do this for the homepage, rather than the entire site. I guess I'll have to use multiple tools and hope the effort is worth it as it's a free service. Do you use SEO profiler?

Thanks John - really helpful!

Thanks again for answering. One version does seem to have better links. Perhaps Moz will eventually see them as the same domain as the redirect has only been in place for about 1 month. I may ask the developers to verify and set the preferred domain also. Thank you!

Sorry -basic stuff I know. I can research it to save you any hassle. Cheers.

Hi James! I definitely understand what you're saying. Please know that getting every question answered to the best of our ability is a top priority for us. When we, as admins, see that one hasn't been answered, we utilize an entire staff of expert Associates to whom we assign questions. In fact, an Associate had been assigned to your question shortly after it was initially posted; he just hadn't gotten to it yet. Because our Associates and our community members are located all over the world and have their own careers to consider, often it takes a day or two—and, occasionally, more than that—to get an answer. This is especially the case if it's a particularly complex or specific question. It looks as if you removed the text of this question the same day it was posted which, frankly, is nowhere near enough time to determine that the question won't be answered. Let me know if you have any questions about Q&A or our admin process.

Thanks, this makes sense!

Matt is correct - building pages in a way that adds value to the user is the way to go. Building a separate page for each variation of a keyword is not only unnecessary, it can lead to lower rankings overall since Google has stated that these are not the kinds of sites they want to rank. I would recommend very strongly against scraping content from other sites, or posting the same content on mulitple sites that you own, as well. Spend that time and effort on creating unique, expert, trustworthy content that adds value for your audience instead. I haven't read the book you mention, but it might be time to find a different resource to learn about content marketing.

Ok thank you - I get in now
