Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Alex, you sir are a man among boys.

Thanks!!

Would each of these lists have the same URL parameters?

Just different duration of days?

Then combine them?

Alex, I'm not fully following you as far as the execution.

I understand we're attempting to create a custom audience.

So let's say I have an audience for visitors of "this url" set at 60 days past.

How would I market to them 30 days after they visit the website? I don't think I followed.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm looking to market to visitors 30 days AFTER they have been to a website.

Their is a coupon this business wants to run every 30 days to its' repeat customers (and if they purchase again); thus, 30 days more will resume.

I'm aware that your remarketing list can capture audiences from 30, 60, and 90 days past. I'm talking about future display ads running 30 days after visitor has cookies enabled.

Thanks for your help!

I think this can be a straight forward answer.

is the website spammy or provide no value (just a list of websites for example)?

If so, disavow. But I don't think this is a big problem. If you're cleaning it up, clean up those that are spammy, not just 404s or non existent domains.

I hope this helps.

Hello, this sounds pretty urgent.

You can see the updates here - http://moz.com/google-algorithm-change

Google Penguin update hit sites that have poor backlinking or spam links.

Google Panda update hit thin sites (with thin content) or any duplicate content.

Moving forward: Find the problem (could be more than one). Disavow the links. Produce relevant, high quality (not high quantity) content.

Hello Moz Support,

I've submitted to Moz Local 2-3 weeks ago - Bayou Tactical in my account. And the percentage remains the same with certain websites saying 100% incomplete that should be covered with Moz Local.

Please help and thanks!

I'm open to correction from other Mozzers but I don't think you've been hit with a penalty because of your keyword optimization.

I would consider one thing - what is best for the user?

It may look like this (targeting Website Design):

Title Tag Keyword Phrase | Brand Name - For example: Website Designer - Seattle, Washington

H1 Keyword Phrase in a question form - Website Design Made Easy (followed by content)

H2 Keyword Phrase asking where it originated, etc. - Website Design Services and Pricing (followed by content)

Basically, provide relevant content. I wouldn't worry too much here; just slightly alter it so it's not exact match all the way down the page.

As far as a penalty, you may have been recently hit with the new panda update or the penguin update.

I hope this helps. Thanks, Cole.

I agree with Andy.

However, you could look at new visitors vs returning visitors within direct traffic. Typically returning visitors are coming back DIRECTLY to your site and new visitors (assuming they didn't see an advertisement elsewhere) aren't coming DIRECTLY to your site.

That's my best approach; if I see a large number of new visitors, (assuming not a large ad just ran), then I can assume fairly reasonably that those are long tail keyword search terms.

It appears to have no value to me. I don't know if I would necessarily disavow it, although I would't expect much negative impact because of its DA (if removed). It just depends on your link profile.

But yes, it appears to have no value for the user and spammy.

ETA: If you drop out of rankings because of this disavowing this link (I doubt you will), you can go back and remove the disavow file. I've seen sites jump right back to where they were in the rankings.

I would add helpful articles / resources.

This could be the following: blog posts (weekly), infographics, videos, and pictures.

Think about adding content that would be helpful to users looking for content AROUND your industry. Therefore, you begin establishing your business as a resource. I would take that content and internally link to a product / service page.

This guide is AWESOME for everyone (not just beginners): http://moz.com/blog/the-noob-guide-to-link-building

I hope this helps,

Another note: if the jobs are being fulfilled within a month, you're doing your part well I would imagine.

Hello,

I wouldn't ever pay for links quite frankly. Search engines will continue to get more advanced and understand the world wide web better as time goes on.

I would dive deep into creativity and pursue possibly some of the following backlink options:

• reach out to universities to publish links on their websites for graduates (both undergrad and grad websites - that's possibly two links for .edu)
• I would possibly have a similar job posting on Craigslist (another valuable link) - beware of duplicate content
• Create content focused on local people getting local jobs and reach out to your local chamber of commerce or local government to see if you can garner some "attention" to these jobs. Possibly some .gov / valuable links here.
• Your content should be focused on helping people find jobs
• Your outreach should probably take most of your SEO time spent.
• Track those links! Therefore, validating your efforts.

I hope this helps.

Cole

Thanks for those resources Pixel by Pixel.

Hey Andy,

No disavow or https has been done. I've private messaged you.

Thanks,

Cole

Hello Moz Community,

I'm ranking well in Google (#2-#6 for various keywords) but on the second page of Bing.

Are there certain differences that I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Cole

Link Exchanges have become a thing of the past as far as a direct link exchange (put your link here and I'll put your link here) and could harm your website. Here is another Q&A Forum asking if link exchanges are good or not and another one that may be helpful.

To be safe and utilize link exchanges in a white hat, clean, relevant way, I believe mutually agreeing to linking to certain articles can be considered safe. Creating another article linking to your article (or blog) is what I mean or editing an existing article to add value. I don't think just having a random link in the footer or some place else on the website provides value is what I'm saying.

You may know all of this, but someone will come along questions link exchanges and provide insight anyways. As well, I think it can establish a ground for this conversation of seeing relevant, high QUALITY content.

I will take a look at your content and private message you if that's okay.

Thanks,

Cole

Our dropped two points as did our competitors. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm curious if this is a result of the most recent Google Penguin release.

Would the user benefit from the forum? If yes, then I would proceed with the forum (create no follows for all comments).

Google cares about the user. Thus, if the forum benefits the user, then yes.

It appears you're keeping in mind the user and I applaud you. It could be example.com/forum (with sub categories following forum to clearly indicate this is a FORUM). We aren't trying to manipulate (create no follows as mentioned above).

I think this would be good for your site, assuming you have good engagement.

Here is how to do a reconsideration request:

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35843?hl=en

which should lead you to this page:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/reconsideration?pli=1 where you'll check the manual penalty.

I hope this helps you guys.
