There's lots already written about this, but here are my quick thoughts: -Don't rely on an automated tool. -Get links from all available sources - GWT sample, GWT most recent, ahrefs, majestic, OSE, Bing Webmaster Tools if available. -Break it down to one link from each domain. -Check each domain and determine whether the link is one that was made for SEO purposes. -If you're not sure, err on the side of disavowing. -See if the client was given a list of links that were made for them.  If so, then start by disavowing those. Hope that helps!

Hi! I recommend starting with the Learn section on our site. We have a great amount of resources to help with a lot of this stuff including a beginner's guide to social media, guide to link building, and lot of other goodies.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the definition. I recommend that you utilize Mike Blumenthals Local Business Center Category Tool (http://blumenthals.com/index.php?Google_LBC_Categories) and you will start to see why you are going to have difficulty marketing this business in a traditional local way. The term 'pregnancy care center' is associated with the following synonyms: Pregnancy Care Center abortion, clinics, ob gyn, obstetrics So, if the business chooses to market itself through typical local channels (Like Google Places, Yahoo Local, Bing Places for Business, Yelp, etc.) there is a very high chance that your core term, Pregnancy Center, is going to be mistakenly associated with abortion clinics, which is clearly not what your client wants. I'm not sure this is avoidable, however the client chooses to market itself. Even if the website is 100% clear regarding what services are and are not offered at the center, people often fail to read website well and the center may end up fielding calls for services not offered. Of course, this is a risk factor for literally any type of business model. An auto body shop may get calls for muffler repair, even if they don't offer it, right? If you are the marketer for the project, I believe your task will be to explain the risk/benefits scenario to the client. There is going to be a built-in grey area for the company. Some people may see their business on or offline and think it is an abortion clinic, a right wing organization, a birthing center, etc. I don't see a way around this and it is likely something the center is already dealing with. So, basically, they need to make an informed decision as to the amount of publicity they wish to earn, as this will likely be commensurate with the amount of traffic/phone calls, etc., they are receiving for services they don't offer, while at the same time, bringing them new business from the right types of clients.

The site is still not showing for any relevant search terms (which is wildly frustrating) - however I have noticed some movement in Webmaster Tools in terms of pages crawled per day. 2jdrivd.jpg

Jason, if you can post the contents of your robots.txt file, or give us a link to the site in question, we can help you diagnose what is happening. A second question is -- what type of content is being blocked? If it's a directory like /admin that is being blocked, the robots.txt is likely working as intended. You can also verify your site in Google Webmaster Tools and look in there at the crawling section, as it will tell you what pages Googlebot hasn't been able to crawl.
