Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Hamed,

Welcome to the Moz forum! Say, would you mind opening asking this question in a brand new thread? As this one is quite old, that will be the best way to get your question answered.

Thanks!

Christy

Okay, thanks for that.

Hi Greg, where do you think you read about the course?

We are glad to see you active in Q&A, Kristen!

Hi there! I have removed the link in your original post, and left it published here in the forum as a discussion question. For details, please refer to the email I just sent you.

Christy

Great! And you are quite welcome, EGOL.

Okay, to view questions answered by a person, you'll need to grab their user ID from the URL for their community profile. (For example, your user ID is 446.) Next, swap it out for the user ID in this URL: https://moz.com/community/q/users/446/answers.

To view questions posted by a person, do the same thing with this URL: https://moz.com/community/q/users/446/questions.

Voia! Does that make sense, EGOL? It's not the most elegant solution, but it's what we have (for now).

Christy

Yes, and I think the way that Web 2.0 sites (as defined by the way you are using the term, Jubaer), including those hosted on Wordpress.com and Tumblr, is a great example of why search engines treat subdomains as distinct domains.

Practically anyone can set up a site on Wordpress.com like abc.wordpress.com with minimal effort. That is, after all, the primary service Wordpress.com offers, after all. The sites that exist as subdomains of Wordpress.com have very little in common with each other, other than being hosted on Wordpress.com.

Wordpress.com has a DA of 96. There are some truly fantastic sites hosted as subdomains of Wordpress.com, and there are also a lot of really crappy ones, too. If search engines treated the value of a link from crappysite.wordpress.com as authoritatively as the value of a link from fantasticsite.wordpress.com simply because both are hosted on wordpress.com (which does, as you say, have a DA of 96), would that be best for users? Nope, it would not. Someone could have made crappysite.wordpress.com for the sole purpose of "earning" a link to their own (self-hosted) site, or created it with good intentions, but never put in the work needed to become a valuable site for its intended audience like fantasticsite.wordpress.com did.

And, let's not forget about the importance of relevance. The topics of sites on Wordpress.com  are all over the place. Therefore, it makes sense to treat each one separately, right?

Hi EGOL,

Specifically, would you like to be able to easily view all questions posted by a specific person in the forum, or questions they have answered (or at least responded to)?

Don and Peter, I love this so much! Great job, ya'll!

Hi, are you still having this issue? And did you see my questions above? We'd love to help you out.

Hi there, sorry for the long-delayed reply! Did you see the questions Dmitri asked? In order to help answer your question, we need this information provided as well.

Thanks!

Hi Edward,

In order to help you sort this out, we are going to need more information about your website. Are you able to share the domain? What about a timelines of changes made to the site and screencaps of helpful info from your Google Search Console and/or Analytics accounts? Also, do you have any hunches as to what caused this issue, and how has it impacted your site's performance overall?

Thanks!
Christy

Hi Herbet, in addition to the great resource Moosa Linked to above, you may also want to check out our Beginners Guide to SEO. Actually, I'd make sure you understand and get some experience implementing all the concepts introduced in the Beginners Guide before tackling a few small to medium eCommerce sites, and then moving onto a large one once you've gained some valuable experience and built up your confidence in optimizing sites . Optimizing a large e-commerce site e-commerce site is quite involved, and is a huge investment of time and money.

To answer your first question, though, if you only have the resources focus on adding custom titles and page descriptions for your site OR schema tags at first, I'd definitely start with the titles and page descriptions. If you don't write your own and properly mark them up, then the search engines will have a much harder time figuring out what your pages are about, and will populate the page titles and descriptions for them in search results with whatever they can find on your pages.

Hi EGOL, I am very sorry about this. This is aggravating for sure -- especially as detailed and thoughtfully crafted as your responses are!! We have not received any other reports of this happening with more frequency than usual this week (we being the community team) and I can't seem to reproduce the issue. I do hope other community members will comment on this thread if they are also experiencing this problem. Thanks so much for letting us know about this!

In the meantime, I'll see if the help team has received similar reports, ask the community team to stay on top of this, and of course request that this bug be zapped asap if the issue is able to be reproduced or otherwise verified as a bug. As a stopgap measure, have you tried selecting all and copying your responses before hitting "post response"? That way, if you get a blank screen, you can just paste your carefully written response into a new field (or even into a notetaking app for safe keeping.

Again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience and aggravation this issue is causing you, and thank you for letting us know about it.

Thanks so much for your patience, EGOL!

Just testing something... nothing to see here... lalala!

This week on The Moz Blog, Eric Enge wrote about Why You Must Become a 10x Brand. In the post, he said:

"You need to be in-demand. If some channel does not make it easy to find you, you need people to miss you. That's why you must behave like an authentic, engaged member of the overall community. Having a great product or service will be a requirement, but that's just table stakes—you need to be a 10x brand."

I'd love to know what you think about this statement. In particular, I would love to hear your answers to the following questions:

• What does becoming a 10x brand mean for you, your business, or your clients?
• What does this look like in small business, medium business, large/huge businesses?
• Is it an easier process for any one of these categories, and how would you go about it?

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this topic, folks. Don't be shy, let's discuss.

Hi there, have you been able to figure out this riddle yet -- or are you still working on it? We'd love an update!
