Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There is quite a bit of information available here using search such as http://moz.com/community/q/find-and-monitor-possible-bad-links

Link Detox has worked for me.

Best.

Take a look at Google help here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96568?hl=en#2

As they state it can take some time for the link data to show up in WMT, also make sure you are looking at the correct www or non-www version as these are two different sites in the eyes of Google.

Best!

It would help to understand why have you decided to disavow links. Have you received a manual action or think you may be subject to algorithmic penalties? Has traffic to your site dropped?  Just because a link comes from a site with low DA, it is not necessarily bad. Google is looking for manipulation.

Works now. Thanks

I'll bring the doughnuts.

Hi,

I clicked on the link to register but got a message that the webinar is over.

I came across this post about the "Responsive Design View" feature in Firefox.

Thanks to the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus there are now 4 more views for mobile devices! This post takes you through using the tool and adding the iPhone 6 resolutions. As Mobile continues to grow designing specifically for a good mobile user experience gains importance. I think this tool is pretty cool and was surprised by some of the results on my site.

Hope it helps!

It would be helpful to know what your domain is, if possible.

I think most companies want to have a significant number of likes just for the optics.  A consumer might be skeptical of a site with very few likes. But what good likes actually do you is questionable. Especially since FB doesn't send your posts to your entire fan base but has some formula they use depending on your pages engagement. More over they want you to boost posts so they make a profit. Hey, can't blame them for that. "Boosting" a post sends it to more of your fans.

There are pages that keep fans engaged and no doubt it helps the business, but it takes posting regularly. If you just want a nice big number of likes, use FB advertising as others here have suggested to get more likes. It is relatively easy to do and they have very good help pages. They even have a program for new advertisers where they will mentor you through desktop sharing with one of their in house trainers. It requires a commitment to spend $50/day for 30 days on FB ads. The trainers are very good as well.

Best!

Thanks. I'll check that out.

Try Screaming Frog if you haven't already. Great tool!

If that is true, you need a new theme.

Welcome. One thing I find really useful is the "Email Updates" button here on the Q&A posts. When I find a question I am interested in learning more about, I can click the "Email Updates" and then I will receive responses to the question via email. It's a great way to follow the topics you are curious about and tap into some of the expert knowledge here.

Do you see links reported in GWMT for both versions? In our case there are no links reported for the non-www site. (www is canonical). If you see links on both sites, I would disavow both just to be safe.

Agree with eyepaq that Google Webmaster Tools is the starting place. And if there is no Manual Action notice you may still have an algorithmic penalty. There can be many other reasons for your drop in rankings both on page and off page. But if your concern is your backlink profile there are a few other tools in addition to GWT and OSE. Take a look at Majestic which has a historical view that can show lost links. And if you don't mind paying there is always Link Detox.

Best of luck!

I like your checklist approach and think it adds value for users of your site. Could you use it to generate leads? A "call to action" widget of some type that would send your checklist to users who leave their email. It's a pretty common scheme and maybe worn out, but I still go for it if the information sounds intriguing enough.

I know that doesn't answer your keyword question but I tend to agree with Chris that too much text on a home page can be overwhelming and cause a viewer to check out. I think you use the homepage as an overview an to "set the hook".

Nice site!

This is a great response an I love the advice about "over-thinking". Well said. Move on.

There are a great deal of wordpress self hosting options and themes out there should you chose to stay with wordpress. We chose Genesis from Studiopress and have been very satisfied. But there are many other great choices.

Best!

We went through the same thought process and decided to self host a wordpress site and dump the wordpress.com (in our case) blog. There are many advantages of having the blog on your own site. You will be increasing the number of pages and adding fresh content. Google likes that and you can compete for more keywords. Also creating content in your blog that other people will link to because it is high quality will get you links naturally. I don't think it can be overstated as to how important this can be for SEO.

I can't really speak to whether or not the 301 is a good idea. In our case it wasn't possible anyway.

Hope this helps!

If you did not receive a manual action you cannot submit a reconsideration request. If you properly submitted your disavow file all you can do now is wait. And the consensus is it is as you stated related to the next refresh of Google's algo.

Hang on to the Google doc though just in case you get a manual penalty in the meantime. It sounds like you have done a good job removing links but one of the biggest mistakes is not to remove all the spam links. It is a good practice to use multiple sources to review your back link profile. In addition to GWT there is OSE, ahrefs and majestic. Some like Link Detox and I had good luck with their tool. You didn't mention how they got there to begin with but hopefully you have fixed that as well. Now just focus on building good natural links going forward and wait for the refresh.

You might search "disavow" here as there is a great deal of info.

Good Luck!

If your content permits, Rich Snippets is a pretty obvious way to look more appealing to folks.

That's a great question and I hope someone can answer. I have read that Google sees the http and https as two different sites but since the force to https would typically be handled by the server on the same domain, not really a 301 I would think. But I am out of my depth (again). So is there any loss of linkjuice?
