Welcome to the Q&A Forum

that's a pretty cool tool Daniel

Those you mentioned have worked for me along with adding schema to show the description.

Hi Dylan,

This is from my own experience:

1. If your local is a priority, then you have to do this

2. It won't, really. Since (I presume) that your company is primarily a local-first company, then you can just create other landing pages that can target those that are non-local. You can actually create a more targeted copy like that and promote it in more targeted channels.

It can also work the other way around but I'm just looking at your advantages by optimizing for local, especially with the new update.

Bottom line, check their priority and optimize for that first.

Hi

It's true that there is nothing really wrong with it and that it will be hard to remember but she can always use other emails and forward to another email address.

I think using another domain is somewhat of a waste if it's "just" for email.

If she has the time, then she can use that extra domain as a separate lead generator, maybe as a blog/landing page (and can also be used for links to the main site) - At least it's not just for emails.

If you meant to ask about which domain to use primarily, nowadays, keyword domains like BikramYogaSantaClarita.com are usually "frowned" upon due to one of Google's recent updates so they normally recommend using the brand name... but it actually still works great.

Slap on some good content, send it some good links and it'll rank easily.

I can't say that I have seen any negative effects from it so far. I have done this with ecommerce sites and they havent been affected. Maybe others can share their experiences.

Hi!

Shareasale has been good. Commission Junction is also one. I've been with Click2sell for a while. Depends really on what your products are. You might even want to try Clickbank.

Templates like that usually have SEO in mind already. Those on themeforest usually do. I would always add a blog (which leads to a separate page) for clients that use 1 page templates like this, just to add to the SEO. In terms of results, I have never really encountered limitations because of the theme.

I have used something similar before for a personal project. I never liked it (personal preference, not seo related) as my users used kinda old computers and browsers so it ended up being slow.

It will probably work better for you

Did you mean G+ communities or Pages? Moz can track G+ pages, not communities though.

I think Moz analytics is more interested in your actual engagement on your page and leaves the stuff outside it, to you. I would advice the use of Circloscope to manage circles for communities but In terms of tracking each move you make in communities then http://www.circlecount.com/communities/ might help a little. Not much, but you might find it useful

Thanks

Hi BB

I have tried this before (on different boxes though) and it didn't cause any issues.

I would still advice to at least change bits of the content if possible. The design and everything could be the same.

will you be able to get the same URL structures? If so then that's already a big plus to minimize your rank changes.

It will definitely happen, one way or another but once it gets fixed, things usually go back to where they were, at least for me.

I've never tried Volusion before but I have moved ecom sites over to WP, Magento etc,

If it's just a few pages then I don't think it should be something to worry about. I've 301'ed thousands and it never affected me before.

The problem with this though is you might have some trouble ranking for some (different) location based searches, or at least, to consistently improve after the 301's initial benefits stop.

I always stay away from 404s as much as I can. Although it doesnt really affect your SEO if the dead link is nowhere on your pages but I still dislike it, personal preference.

I won't be much help as this is all still trivial without seeing the actual pages and their functions.

Treat it as a test though, you'll learn a lot from it.

This does happen. Did any of your competitors also shuffle at that time?

As long as you aren't doing anything wrong then it should be ok. You might want to look at your internal linking and links pointing to both pages that makes Google think that that page is more relevant. You could focus a little bit more on the page you want. It should return soon.

Ive experienced this before about 8 times this year already. The good page always comes back.

Actually, this is pretty hard to answer. I've experienced different timeframes. Some in as short as a week but most took a couple months. It could be dependent on the country or the search term or even the site. That's based on my experience though.

Hi!

Much like any link checker, OSE will not show everything you have. It tries to improve the database each month but similar to ahrefs and majestic, it will not (always) be able to show 100% of your links

The best way is to actually combine the different sources, including Yandex. You'd get almost all of your links like that.

1. It says URL because you entered the exact page of where your link is on. If you want to disavow the whole domain since it is bad anyway, then just use

domain:thatbaddomain.com instead of the full url

2. use the domain code above.

If you want an easier way to cut to root domains, then use scrapebox, SEO Tools for excel or http://www.seoweather.com/trim-urls-to-root-domain-standardise-urls-prefixes/

Hope that helps!

Hi!

I'd recommend http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk for building a sitemap manually.

Hope that helps

LOL! Don't sweat it too much.

Then I would go with a sub domain. It's easier like that in this situation. You'd have plenty of options when something changes down the road.

PS. Alan is correct, it's hard to find much proof/evidence of this posted anywhere online. It's more of a "from experience" kind of thing.

Hi Courtney,

Such a tricky problem! You'll probably get a lot of subjective replies.

I would only use subdomains if I wanted to treat it like a different "main" product or a company under the main brand

For SEO purposes, it's better to not make it a sub domain to get the full benefits of the main domain (I'm assuming the domain is already strong) so it's only a last resort for me.

Hi Jason,

That's completely normal based on my own experiences. Things will settle down soon. I didn't resubmit mine and it's working perfectly now.

Hi!

Yeah, it would be great but I guess they have their reasons.

This never became a problem for me though as I would just insert the links into the Contact Information area. It's moderated but they aren't really strict

Co-authorship is definitely possible.

If you are on wordpress you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/

It's pretty much the same concept for other platforms.
