Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is a hard thing to answer as I've done both ways lol. For smaller sites, I wouldn't really mind but for bigger ones, manual is better. Manual interlinking is definitely better because you can do it using different phrases that can be related to another post rather than automatically showing the same words. It's just more organic that way and better for user experience which Google is keen on.

I've actually done this auto linking to category pages instead of posts on my older sites so I've played/experimented with this function. I still would recommend the old fashioned manual way as it makes more sense.

I would go 404's (and let them die) as I dont think those have any good content on them since it was just generated.

Redirecting them wont really do much.

I would fix up the alignment of the current setup. I would lessen the size of the header and actually fit the video at the upper part of the page. Ask them to sign up so they scroll down.

I would also consider wistia (and gather optin within the video)

You can run 2 tests with 2 title versions as well. I think a stronger initial title would help plenty. Good luck!

Check out RevCom's answer.

Then check this out:

• Did you get affected in the middle or the last week of the month? Check your traffic.

If you were, then you got affected by the algorithm updates during those times.

You MAY or MAY NOT have been affected by it. Maybe the links pointing to your were affected, maybe something changed in the keyword/niche rankings, maybe it's showing other new things now that pushed you a bit lower.

Now you can check out Andy's answer and do a link audit to see why you got affected.

As for the www. non www -> be sure to add the current one to webmaster tools as well.

They will do whatever it is that they already do and their system handles the rest.

Emailing them might work. Sometimes it can change but dont get your hopes up. You can try, then follow up on it. It is yours after all.

If they dont, then be happy with a nofollow link.

Referrals wont hurt

I actually use rel=publisher for the main brand account most of the time since it's a publisher tag.

Hi Ruben!

It will definitely will help.

I'm assuming you will also be putting your business address on the site, so that also help identify you as part of that locality.

Aside from that, using the location on your posts will also help you rank for them.

There are other ways to specifically rank for those local terms, but I think you just wanted to know if your blog posts will rank locally/bring in local traffic.

It's not really holding them back. I would start with the usual, NAP markups on each page of the site since its a local business. Plus the maps markup.

Then dedicate the time to checking what the competitors are doing vs what your client has right now (more citations? etc)

That should stop them from worrying about schema at this point so you can focus on making them improve in rankings.

You've done pretty well with it so far. The main thing is, do videos actually show up in the search results? If not, then sometimes, itll take a longer time to actually get it to show up even if it's for a brand name. Sometimes, it just wont show at all.

No problem on Google's end. Just be sure you can handle both in terms of  SEO work. It usually boils down to that.

Some businesses eventually consolidate into a single site because of the amount of work involved for just 1 site...and some of them have 5-20+ sites

On the bright side, you can do a 301 eventually.

Ive seen such things bite our ecommerce clients in the arse for not following our advice. Some blog owners as well. I would suggest to just clean them up, add a canonical, disable the page or whatever that is possible just to quickly get it over with if time is lacking. If you have time, then you can change the content and turn them to good ones. Good pages that actually help your other pages rank.

There's really no recommended number but yes, they are pretty important.

You can check out the Zappos site and look at how they interlink. It's not excessive but still adds to what the user needs or wants to see during their stay on the site.

So if I understood this correctly:

• You want to assign a new page per review
• You fear that it's thin content

If so, then it is thin. Very thin.

Google will know if you update your page, much like how pages get new comments.

You are better off putting up a separate review page for every review that page gets but still, I would choose putting it on the same page to take full advantage of it.

Laura's suggestion of doing overflows like amazon is also a good one. Pretty brilliant actually. I would've forgotten about that.

Oh, I think he can also analyse & translate "Ancient Alien" vocabulary with his right eye.

I'll assume that you have a good reason for the separate local website so yes, I would actually create new pages to rank for specific keywords. Some of those pages can rank for a lot of local/related keywords, too so it's a win win situation

I have some archived campaigns and they dont seem to be affecting my keyword count. Hope that helps.

It usually take a long time for the disavow to kick in. Takes me up till the next major update usually.

I would not recommend 301'ing the old domain until I see signs of improvements (usually, a big bump in webmaster tools "impressions" change, since the penalty drops you to almost nothing, is good enough of a sign for me to take the next step)

I would just update the content. If it's already irrelevant then youll see more users leaving. I wouldnt worry about it losing traffic because of that. You might actually be able to get more traffic once its properly optimised with other keywords that you've already gotten using analytics from past traffic.

Hi Ruben,

Grab the link.

Industry Link - Check

Potential to Send Traffic in the Future - Check

Potential to get your link/post there to rank so you have an extra spot in the rankings? - Check

That's enough for me.

Looking at PA/DA/PR/MR etc aren't really that important in this case, assuming your site's niche is in the boring (high money but typically boring) side. I'd go get a link and build a relationship which will work further in your favor in the future.

Hi!

I have to be honest and not sugar coat this, I have never seen any direct SEO benefit from using site search...

You can use the data you get from it, but it's probably not the tangible benefit you are looking for.
