Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Big problem but small solution. This page has 48 [I am discounting the www and non www think] variations. Here are few of them -

http://www.alabu.com/goat-milk-soap/?sort=priceasc&page=5

All you got to do is not showing the body content in any of the pagination series – [can be achieved programmatically]

_And for these types of pages – you need to set the following URL as canonical - http://www.alabu.com/goat-milk-soap/

and please fix that www issue

If we go by the algorithm, yes getting 20 links from 20 different domains does help in securing better ranking in the SERP. But again this will look like; you are writing these articles solely for the purpose of earning links. Rather why not tread middle ground here. You can publish a series of such articles with the same author bio from a single website. This will have twin benefits – You will establish a strong relation with the targeted readers and secondly the whole process will appear natural.

_However, I would rather like to get all those high value content on my website and then I will promote them. If they are really great articles, my website will get direct value from it and probably, the website might have earned one or two links naturally. _

_You said your website is making progress in some less competitive keywords. If this is the case, I think this is not a severe penalty. But since this is a manual penalty, you have to [and I mean it] send a reconsideration request and wait for the response. And yes, there is no such beast exists here. You gotta problem and you have to fix this. _

_Ok probably I am going to take the bull by its horn. And probably I am going to get lynched publicly for this.

But here it goes. This is a valid reason to be worried about. Not all the business organizations are in a position to spend money lavishly on PPC or any other marketing platform. And I do not think that Google will ever going to penalize your website for guest blogging but again a note of caution; you should not keep all your eggs in one basket._

_However, you should not take guest blogging that way. The purpose of guest blogging is to share visitors and that is. Do not use exact matched anchor texts and do not abuse the system. The same goes with Forum posting. If you are in the forum, adding value to it, helping other people, solving issues; you have the right to add a link to your website in the signature section. And again, let me reiterate the fact that you should not abuse or game the system. As long as you are playing by the rule, you are safe. _

Ok I am going to show you a different method. If you have the crawl report of the website in Excel file, just select the entire Title column and click on “Conditional Formatting” >> Highlight Cells >> Duplicate value.

_You will get the whole list of duplicate pages.  _

Seems like you have made some changes in the website recently .. not a single title is available right now .. need to check your plugin to fix this

Ok it seems you are a bit concerned about the quality of the articles. If this is so, why you are planning to move the articles to the new websites? I do not think mentioning the articles have been moved to the new website would not exonerate your sins. In fact, the new website may carry the legacy of poor content. Do not do such thing.

I do not know but your website is not opening –

http://www.howtomaketutus.com/?p=home [showing error]
http://www.howtomaketutus.com/ [getting redirected to - http://www.howtomaketutus.com/?p=home]

_First fix this issue.

As you have not mentioned anything about receiving mail in Google Webmaster Tools account, I am assuming that you are hit by algorithm penalty. In that case, you need to get rid of as many spammy links coming from low quality article directories, directories, link pages and link networks. When it is done, you need to use Disavow Tools to include those spammy links where the link references still remain. You need to wait few weeks before you can start seeing any difference. _

_Yes, there are some factors that I do not think apply any longer like - _

Keyword Usage in Bold/Strong/Emphasized/Italics
Keyword Usage in URL [not possible if you are targeting multiple keywords]
Keyword Usage in Image Alt Attribute [we should not be focusing on keywords only while creating alt tags for images]
Exact Keyword Usage in DocumentExact Keyword Usage in Page Title [not that important]

_I do not think you should be using on page tools for checking out keywords density and all that. No, these tools are obsolete long ago. But yes you can always use Screaming Frog for checking the following on page factors -

pages with duplicate meta data
Pages with double h1 tags
Pages with meta data
Pages with 301 and 404 response code_

_Few issues - _

Titles are too keywords focused
Meta descriptions are same site wide

However, as Ryan has clarified, ranking in Google is a different ballgame altogether. And one more thing, I cannot find your website listed in Google Local. Get your website listed in Google Local as it might help your website rank high in some local terms.

Ok first thing first .. please let us know when you saw the ranking got disappeared .. we need to have the date first before we make any further recommendation.

_If the keyword you are searching is a brand and no other companies are targeting that keyword [this is my assumption here], you will get an extended sitelinks. But when the keyword is too generic [as is the case with you], you might have to settled with text only site links. _

_Ok the thing is – you cannot decide between a keyword rich domain and a general company name. After the EDM update, I think you should not be going for keywords rich domain. Moreover, you find it really tough to make your brand presence stand out. For say, if you have a domain like this – seo-company-UK.com, how on earth you are going to boost its brand image. If this is not enough, you will struggle while building brand based links for the website. Hop you understand. _

_Did you mention that you have added all the unnatural links in the disavow link tool? I would rather suggest you to post that problem in Google Webmaster Forum and next time, when you are applying for reconsideration request, you need to create a list of bad URLs and in the subsequent column you need to mention that you have discarded them in Disavow Link option. _

Ok another tricky situation. First of all, I would like to ask you to create a Google Webmaster Account with a new Gmail id for this Domain.org [since you are worried about the association, though I can assure you there is no such thing as association with a penalize website will incur penalty for other websites ].

_So, you need to create a Google Webmaster Tools account to figure out whether the website has got penalized by Penguin update. If you have received any message in Google Webmaster Tools account regarding link warning, you need to get all the spammy links removed before applying for a reconsideration request. However, if this is an algorithmic penalty, you need to give a try to Disavow Link option. _

I can understand your dilemma. If I say you to rewrite all these pages, it will be an uphill battle for you but if you do not do this, you will leave the all these insurance agents sites and the main website at large. Now, if you feel that the rewriting the all these pages overweigh the risk involved, go ahead and do this. No more wasting time mate J

First of all by getting your website listed in some Paid directories, you are just making your website more vulnerable to Penguin as the process violates Google’s guidelines. However, what I believe is that if you are getting your website in some chosen directories like Yahoo Directories etc, you may not be in trouble as Google is well aware of their existence.

So, rather than wasting your SEO dollars on things so uncertain, I would suggest you to do something more fruitful like investing in content marketing, designing create inforgraphic and then using it as a link bait.

However, if you wish to do it as a promotional purpose, you can go ahead; just make sure that you are adding no follow attribute against them.

_Hope that helps. _

_Nope they are not. These links are easy links and therefore, will not have any impact on the rankings whatsoever. And as Alan has rightly said, these RSS Feed may increase the likelihood of duplicate content. _

I support, there is nothing you need to worry about. Google will automatically take that link out once it recrawls the page.
