Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi

Is there away to get the history of the Avg cost per click for a keyword?

We have built a lot of sites and there a few sites we no longer manage or want any association with.  When I have looked at webmasters I can see 20 to 200+ odd links back to our site. The page however at source has no reference to our website. I have searched the code but there isn't anything.  Is it safe to disavow these or just leave them?

Hi Guys

I am going to be putting some powerpoint presentations up over time.  I have a couple of questions regarding slideshare.

1. If I add links to the slideshare are these crawl able by Google etc...?

2. If I places the powepoint presentation on our website and slideshare would this be counter productive i.e duplicate content?

Love to here your suggestions.

Hi Guys

Just seeking some advise.  We know Google is very keen about site speed and the one of the best ways to manage this is to cache images use CDNs etc.. However what I am finding is that we have rapid site speed but any new updates take a few refreshes or we have to wait for the ISP to clear their DNS for the updates to show.

I have put the meta tag for non-caching and on cPanel I have developer mode active on the caching sessions which in theory will not store anything in the cache for 6 hours.

Does anyone know of anything else which can force a wordpress site on an update or image/post/page or datasbase for the browser to be flushed? I think possibly this will only be good as other users browsers may have similar issues.

It does take time. We have had similar battles with websites which breaks everything Google says about what you shouldn't do. One site dominated position 1 for 18 months. Its only just start to drop down the ranks. I don't think google actually practices what it preaches. May be wrong.

For your case agree with HTTPS, make the site mobile responsive I am noticing almost instant improvements on desktop searches. I also check your site with woorank as there could be site speed issue or trust elements not being detected. Content could be a key thing. If you have lots of poor content this can drag you down.

Hi Guys

Just wanting to get some feedback on best practices for international website.

The main website is a .co.uk there looking to target France & Belgium. The web hosting is UK based.

Do we replicate the UK site and translate to local language but use a .fr domain and have 3 versions of the websites on 3 separate domains? or do just use the co.uk with french & Belgium translation have pages related to those countries?

Any assistance will be appreciated

Hi

Wondering if we need to worry about IP Canonicalization via htaccess and if this is really required? and does would it have a big impact?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9_])$
RewriteRule ^(.)$ /p/%1? [R=301,L]

the above works on our test area but not on clients so it hosting issue

Thanks Chris

Seems there is an issue with the web host.

It's from an old website so the pages no longer exist. I will have a look at the link you sent over thank you.

Hi

I have 100's of URL's appearing in Search Console for example:

?p=1_1

These go to on to 5_200 etc..

I have tried to do htaccess and the mod rewrite is on as I can redirect directories to the root i.e

RewriteRule ^web_example(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,N,L]

However I have tried all kinds of variations to redirect ?p= and either it doesn't work at all or it crashes the website. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this.

Used to dealing with millions of lines of data and analysing so no problem doing it manual, however if there was a tool capable of doing it then why not use the tool if it saves time.............

Hi

What is the best tool out there to doing a full brand audit for company.  They've created at least 15 websites and have possibly many domain names which have been ordered by different people over many years.

I need to find the quickest and best tool to do this with. Any suggestions would be great.

Hi

Just wanting to see what peoples view is on Parallax websites (all content on 1 page separated into sections), and does Google see them as a good user experience or would they be seen as difficult to read for a search engine i.e not enough content?

Hi

I have a web page which lists about 50-60 products which links out to either a pdf on the product or the main manufacturers website page containing product detail.  The site in non e-commerce is this the site/page likely to get hit by Penguin?

Would it be best to create a separate page for the product/manufacturer group i.e 5 or 6 pages but linking out to the PDFs etc...?

Hi

I have found a lot of links from a majestic report (not found on moz open site explorer).  inwhich I have found lots of links from 2010 and possibly earlier which either I can't get hold of the webmaster.  Is a disavow the right way to go if I can't get them removed myself?

Also I have noticed that there are a lot of free directories listing new pages from our site and I am concerned Google are going to find these.  I surpose there is nothing I can do about this, does anyone have any recommendations.

Hi

When we're talking about SEO does the search engine only look at the whole site in general or do they look at the individual page when we're talking about SERP?

So if you have a keyword "my search term"

Does the search engine look at the site first or the page with the term on then rank you or is it the page then the site.

I have actually noticed a difference between the campaigns dashboard and open explorer two completely different figures.  This is why i am possibly confused with the DA score in Moz.

Hi

Our website Domain Authority isn't as high and was wondering why it's not increasing.  Compared to 1 or 2 competitors we're not scoring as high as them.  Are rankings are good for all chosen keywords.

Just trying to get a better handle where our site is falling short on.

Hi

I am wondering if the ^{tag in html is picked up by google as a reference point?}

I.e when you put a superscript in word it puts a small number next to your sentence. Then you have a list of reference at the end of the blog/article does google recognise this?
