Hi there.
The question would if it's important to you. If it doesn't matter to you whatsoever, then let Google choose, however, make sure that when you build backlinks or leave link to your domain anywhere, use the one which google chose, just for consistency.
Oh, I see. Yeah, there shouldn't be any problems, if someone else links to your images with http. And yes, your assumption is correct 
Uhmm.. Are you suggesting that SEO comes down to "just a matter of mentioning it in a blog post"? Man, we are all in the wrong business 
Of course not! To rank for another country, you need to do every single step of SEO process with a focus on that country. If you are talking about making the same domain rank for several countries, then you gotta do all SEO steps + a ton of technical work to make sure that all your content is not duplicate and targeted.

Yes, it can strengthen and yes, google will notice. At least eventually. Now, it's not clear which link you are talking about - inbound or outbound. But anyway, the answer is the same, just the "amount" of benefits will be different.
Hope this helps
Hi. Well, they do not consolidate, that's for sure. However, I have a question then: so, if, let's say i have a to site.com/ and site.com/es/ for Spain and then somebody links to site.com/es/, wouldn't this increase DA of the whole domain, which is site.com?

Shopify does canonicals automatically. Basically all the collections products urls will have canonical to product url. Like this: https://www.domain.com/collections/all/products/**product-slim-regular-bikini** will have canonical to
https://www.domain.com/products/**product-slim-regular-bikini**
If it doesn't happen for you automatically, simply insert this:
In the main theme.liquid file in the head section.
Hi there.
No, none of SEO related benefits would ever come from what email you use to login or URL in your profile. The way to use YouTube for SEO is actually to use it (surprise here:) for it's intended purposes - create awesome video content, put compelling descriptions, titles and thumbnails for your videos, grow the audience and, eventually, people will remember your brand, and start coming to your website from youtube, which will indirectly influence SEO.
Cheers.

Hi there.
To answer your question - no. Relative/absolute paths are not related anyhow to https security of your website. Yes, it's easier to scrape your website if URLs are relative, but that's about it.
P.S. If your "https lock" is broken, you should be able to click on it and get information on what exactly wrong with it. 100% it wouldn't say anything about images
Hi there.
As far as I know, internal nofollow links do not make any sense, unless you are trying to "direct" search bots to specific pages, but not others. In your case, as you say, there are many other links to the same page, so internal architecture here doesn't take place.
So, I say remove nofollows on internal links, try maybe reduce amount of links in general though. The problems you might encounter are related to so called crawl budget by search bots. They have limited amount of time and resources to be on your website, and, if you have many-many links to the same pages, bots might be running in circles, wasting their resources.
Hope this helps.
Hi there.
You sure can add whatever you want. The question is about if it's going to help your SEO. If you going to have "buy online in australia" in title, meta, content, alt-tags then it is going to be overstuffing.
What you should be doing is "theme-ing" pages. Each page should target 1-2 related keywords with supportive content for those keywords (lets say pictures with related names, titles, alt-tags etc).
ALWAYS think of user experience. As I mentioned before - alt-tags are for when img does load or for visually impaired. So, if i get "best wedding dress store" instead of image of a dress - that's not cool. However, it would be ok to have something like "designer wedding dress - online store in sydney". Basically, you can incorporate descriptive, promotional and seo words together.
Hope this helps.
Hi there.
What kind of keyword organizing are you talking about?
As far as I know there are no good tools for organizing keywords. I use google sheets - you can do quite a lot with them. Also you can write your own scripts. However, we are in process of building our own custom solution for in-house use. Because it will satisfy every single nuance i need. Quite honestly, it isn't that much work time if you plan carefully. So, I'd recommend talking to your developer team
Howdy.
The strategy is the same as Reputation Management. See where the ranked images are coming from (your website, other websites, social media etc), see the topics of those pages, and see the anchor text cloud for those pages.
Basically, besides the alt tag, it's topical and semantic correlation of the page, which is tied to the images as well. As far as I understand, if page ranks for the query, images on that page will rank as well (or at least will have a high chance).
Then start building links with proper anchor texts to other pages and websites, which you want it to rank for that query
Hope this helps.
Howdy.
Here is my question - if you rank that well, why would you chance it?
If you do have to change it though, here is my advise. Find a longer tail page with lower traffic share, which is ranking at the bottom of first page or so. Change the title only on that page, request manual recrawl through Google Search Console. See how the rankings change. If position do not change, or improve, do another test, but on a larger scale - 10-20 pages. Monitor their ranking. And then go full speed
Hi.
First of all - horrible-horrible UX on that website. It eats so much resources, i can't browse whatsoever. It almost crash my browser, and I have pretty tuned up compuper.
As to your dilemma - you have lots of weird scripts and css, and that's what makes MOZ bar invisible.
you have nav element, class cd-nav-container, it has css rule backface-visibility:hidden. Delete this rule and voila!
P.S. I plead you to make UI and UX better.
Hi there. We are using Hootsuite and it's working very well for us. Why do you not like it?
Hi there.
Please read this pinned post by Rand (point #2): https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores
As you can see several domains DAs are going down at the same time, meaning that DA change is relative due to highest DA domains gaining lots more links.
Hi there.
ok,
Large mount of crawled pages doesn't mean that every single page has been fully downloaded NOT from cache. If that would be happening, Google would bankrupt in two days. Most likely Google checks the difference in cached and live page and updates the information, rather than downloading the whole thing every time it crawls a page. That's why there is a "fetch as Google" and limit on crawl pages.
It would depend on which pages those are. If it's one of main pages (like index or main service) - it'd be pretty bad. If it's a page, buried under thousands of other pages, then no, it wouldn't be a problem, however, when google does get to that page, you cut yourself that crawl, since Google bots has limited resources per domain. Basically, you'd be wasting bots resources on that non-responsive page.
I'd recommend either fixing it or deleting that page if it's not important.
Cheers.

Read #2:
You've earned more links, but the highest authority sites have grown their link profile even more
Since Domain and Page Authority are on a 100-page scale, the very top of that represents the most link-rich sites and pages, and nearly every index, it's harder and harder to get these high scores and sites, on average, that aren't growing their link profiles substantively will see PA/DA drops. This is because of the scaling process - if Facebook.com (currently with a DA of 100) grows its link profile massively, that becomes the new DA 100, and it will be harder for other sites that aren't growing quality links as fast to get from 99 to 100 or even from 89 to 90. This is true across the scale of DA/PA, and makes it critical to measure a site's DA and a page's PA against the competition, not just trended against itself. You could earn loads of great links, and still see a DA drop due to these scaling types of features. Always compare against similar sites and pages to get the best sense of relative performance, since DA/PA are relative, not absolute scores.
Basically, DA/PA is relative metric, it's relative to 100 DA websites, so, if let's say facebook got +million links, and you got only +10, then relatively to FB your website DA will drop. That's why so many websites' DAs have dropped after last crawl.
To see how good/bad your DA changed, compare to your competitors.
Hope this helps.
Hi there.
I would be looking at Google Analytics a lot. Basically, try to figure out which type (geo/channel/etc) of traffic has been affected. If one of those types of traffic (let's say, direct traffic or traffic from Germany) is the most traffic missing, then you'll at least have an idea where to dig.
Otherwise, if the decrease is the same per each channel/location/etc, then, assuming that all moving procedures were correct, I'd say it's the matter of time.
At the same time check how much traffic is actually being redirected from .co.uk domain. Is that share decreasing? Can there be some problems with redirects?
Regardless, let me know. If you want me to look at your GA, you can give me restricted access. - dmitrii@hyperlinksmedia.com
Hi there.
No, you won't. Archived campaign is not included in total number of campaigns in your account, since none of the metrics of archived campaign are being recorded.
