Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The method Eliathah suggests is sound but an alternative would be to do a Google Search which returns matching results from a specific site only.  This can be achieved by performing the following search from within the Google Search Box "site: <domain name=""><search text="">"</search></domain>

For example:

site:www.seomoz.org Vikas_Rana

Hope this helps.

I would imagine that even if there was any benefit from an SEO perspective that a couple of posts with your URL included would be enough.  Hundreds of blog posts per domain wouldn't necessarily add any more weight from a link building perspective, especially if all the domains are hosted on the same server.

When it comes to whether it is worth allocating time on the endeavour, I guess the question is whether the blogs are relevant enough to your niche that providing expertise would potentially gain you relevant traffic from the blog itself.  If the blogs aren't close enough to your industry or well respected enough then I wouldn't bother investing any real time on the matter.

As long as the site is relevant and isn't spammy then I wouldn't worry too much about the PageRank; even if the link does you no good it certainly won't do you any harm.

I posted this on the duplicate thread that seems to be running but thought I'd post it here as well  

To be honest, reciprocal linking is dead now so I wouldn't recommend obtaining links from any directories that require you to link back to them. Not only does Google consider reciprocal linking to be worthless anyway but you could potentially land yourself in hot water when the directory invariably gets devalued by Google and you’re actively linking to them.

Links pages used to be all the rage back in the late 1990’s but I don’t think they have their place anymore.

Judging by the amount of time it takes to complete when you input just five keywords I'd imagine that this is possibly quite a server intensive task for SEOmoz to run.  As such, if you were to pang in 2,000 keywords it would probably take up a huge amount of server run time and as such you are limited to 5 at a time.

This is pure speculation; I'm hopeful someone from SEOmoz could give you a more concrete answer.

This information is invariably going to come too late to you now but I've used this freeware program with great success in the past:

Their website isn't much to look at but it really does work a treat.

I would publish them on YouTube and ensure that you provide a link to your company website in the video description.

This set-up would not only decrease any load on your server by having the video hosted externally but additionally since YouTube is by far the most popular video hosting website on the Internet you would hope that it could also serve as a traffic generation source, linking potentially customers back to your website.

It is my understanding that marking the answers as fixed simply tells Google that you no longer want to see the message, rather than actually asking Google to try accessing the erroneous resource again or to reinclude it in the index.

On that basis, marking the errors as fixed isn’t important at all as Google will establish for itself that the error has been resolved.

I'm yet to try this out for myself however 'Office Hours' in Google+ hangouts seems to be one of the most direct routes to talk to a member of the Google Webmaster Central team:

Any feedback on whether you found this resource helpful or not would be appreciated as I keep meaning to give Office Hours a go but haven't yet got around to it.

It goes without saying but also ensure that as well as 301'ing all the old URL's, that you create a robots.txt to stop Google potentially spidering the new subdomain which contains the legacy files.

Best of luck!

I wouldn't have thought this would be a consideration to be honest.  Of course, if the two websites were cross linking then Google would probably assume that they're related but otherwise there would be no reason to presume that just because two websites share the same server that they would be related.

Everything is fine here however that happened with us a couple of weeks ago.

I left it a day and when I came back all was well again  

If you go to the Plugins category from within the Wordpress Dashboard then you should be able to click 'edit' on the offending plugin in order to remove the code manually that is causing the redirect.  Without knowing exactly which Plugin is causing you grief I can’t give specifics but the redirect code should be fairly obvious.

Just bear in mind that whenever you update the Plugin the redirect code will reappear and will have to be manually edited out again.

Since Google seem to be placing a real emphasis on ranking websites based on the quality of the content, I would be tempted to consider article spinning as a bad thing.

Even if Google didn't penalise you immediately for it I doubt you'd be adding to the end user experience and so ultimately it could potentially bite you in the backside.  A focus on creating high quality, unique content is always going to be white hat.

Just be careful that Google doesn't pick up the large number of follow links from your blog site to your main site as being manipulative.  The last thing you want to do is pick up an unnatural links warning if / when the Google algorithm takes a dislike to hundreds of links pointing from a blog site that you own to another site that you own.

Ha!  Not a problem; I've been held responsible for worse.

Good luck.  Like I say, moving from a subdomain to a subfolder for us went like a breeze although admittedly it wasn't across two servers.  If you have any issues give us a shout   

I personally would just ignore any 404's being generated by junk sites; Google certainly isn't penalising you for these and if you mark them as fixed the error will just reappear when Google next follows the broken link.

If you have any 404's being generated from 'good' sources then I'd 301 redirect the broken URL to the correct location on your site (not just to your homepage) and mark the problem as fixed.

There are quite a few easy to follow guides on how to move a Wordpress installation online; one such example is http://blog.triphp.com/how-to/how-to-move-wordpress-to-a-new-server-or-host.html

Once done then just 301 redirect all old pages from the subdomain to the new subfolder.

We recently moved a Wordpress installation from a subdomain to a subfolder (albeit it was on the same server) and it went without a hitch - typically speaking, Wordpress is a simple beast to move.
