Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Pedram

The 2nd link is already showing the markup

The rest should come along eventually. I usually notice quicker changes for higher trafficked pages (higher activity and better crawled) on the sites I run. They also, sometimes appear and disappear altogether but they did tweak it recently to show more often based on the sites that I am tracking.

you'll probably get responses here to nofollow them or to remove them just to be safe.

Personally, I just don't worry about it. I've never had problems with it in the past as long as all my links are not like that.

it depends heavily on your niche. If everyone is doing it then it means that it is lucrative and these guys will just make churn and burn domains just to cash in so it will never go away permanently.

You'll see sites come and go but eventually, you will win if you keep up the work.

One of the ways I build links easily with local photographer clients is just to reach out to their own clients and get links from their sites and get shared.

Don't overthink these algorithms because that's when your productivity will get shot. I know the feeling. As long as you aren't overly using anchor text and you arent getting crappy links from networks then you shouldnt worry too much.

And you definitely have to utilise Google+. It's wonderful for photographers.

EGOL is correct, Gordian.

Start fixing those. One the content is brand new and reindexed, it's a waiting game from there onwards. It might make you wait for the next update or you might need to look at your site structure further to find other culprits.

There's really not much Panda 4 did differently. It only improved the original Panda so the same stuff applies so hopefully, you'd get back when you fix the current issues.

Backlinks!

Kidding aside, I would start with understanding the power of your domain vs the current competition.

If your domain authority is quite good vs the current competition, then internal linking and great on-page content will help you rank for those terms and it's variations easily.

If the competition is much more advanced in terms of SEO, then I would launch different campaigns to link back to that page in advanced. For example, an infographic (a great one) detailing and "preselling the plot" somehow. I would then market that and you'll get a lot of good links to your landing page.

Ill also make sure that landing page is quite unique and it can also be a cause for people to link to it.

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.

Definitely.

I've seen better results for both readership and google if proper formatting is used.

I think Google would prefer it like that as well if you think about it.

I'm betting that you'd hate reading big chunks of text without any breaks, subs, media or bullets.

LOL, "Ok, we're going to destroy your rankings shortly. Please, invest more in Adwords afterwards."

Seriously though, I think the algo resets certain factors at the beginning, so these spammed or crappy stuffed sites will get the advantage initially and as a little time passes, the algorithm will be able to catch up and move those sites down - well, in simple terms that is. It'll take 1000 words to fully explain what I really want to say haha.

We can't really say as we can't see the sites

OSE shouldn't be your only way of checking a site's details.

There are other factors involved, their fresh content, maybe they have old 301s, more links (OSE wont be able to see all of it) and so on.

Add to it that maybe they have better bounce/UI/UX and a better social following.

If you could share a bit more info, I think the moz community would be able to help further

Try to get more brand mentions/brand related links.

Be sure the navigation and html is optimised.

That usually solves the sitelinks part.

As for the internal page showing, from my experience, it would usually show the homepage (right below it) if it's showing the innerpage already. Since it's not, then I would look at the html, maybe there are some errors. Maybe take a look at the backlinks, too, if you have gotten a lot of links only recently. I've seen this happen before when a client got a lot of links pointing to their homepage within a short span of time. It's rare but it does happen.

There are other reasons but those are the more common ones.

I'm actually about to write about this lol. This happened to my site as well. Google can switch that for you. If you look at the source, it is usually what you want to be, but Google shows otherwise.

It does happen and it's pretty common. Change it to something else, something better and try to let it get indexed again. It normally shows up correctly the next time around.

We've done this before and usually, we get dips for some keywords, most will stay the same.

We prepare ourselves mentally each time we have to do this LOL. As long as the redirects/content are in-place and you provide a better user experience without affecting load speed, then we are confident enough to just go on and do it.

The rewards for the "risk" is always greater.

There's really no "right" answer for this since I don't recall any official statement about it.

I would just move, make sure all my redirects/content are done.

Then start applying the redesign. Normally I would wait for it to be crawled but nowadays, I just jump right into the redesign after moving all the content/301's. I've never really seen big problems, normally, just small dips but it usually goes back to normal.

Historically, Panda does consider a lot of other stuff. I would personally wait a few weeks. Each time an algo update (a major one) happens, crap sites will always show up and in many cases, rank better than good sites.

For now, you should look at the site, see if there is anything that you can improve. Internal linking, UI/UX, speed, etc. Monitor your webmaster tools for changes in your visibility and other usual panda stuff.

If you continue to produce great stuff then you should be fine.

I would personally just move the actual html over (yes, can be done) and redesign the page to look like the wordpress one if the page is really important. If it's just semi important, not ranking number 1 for thousands of searches, then ill just 301 it over to the new page on wordpress. Either way, I'll make sure internal linking is optimised.

Hi Dan

Not quite sure what you meant.

Just remove them from the category that you'll be removing. 301 their old URL if it changes but if it doesn't then there's no need to.

Gather all the pages/urls. Send them to a blog post/news post why it's not there anymore then make it easy for them to get to your other pages. OR you can just redirect them to the home page, which Richard also mentioned.

Do a 301 to one.

Be sure that your whole website uses just one of the 2. Pick from the www or non-www one.

As long as you can access both, Moz will keep showing you that you have duplicate content.

Definitely try it. It has great reach and you'd be surprised how good the community is. Test it out for a while, you'll see that it's good.
