Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I totally agree with you that affiliate links should not help rankings and many mention that they should always be nofollowed, though a lot of people don't (I probably have some followed affiliate links out there somewhere on the Internet). Philosophically I am opposed to affiliate links helping the target site rank. I've also seen some sites get into trouble for having affiliates link with followed links, so I'd be careful of it myself if i was running an affiliate program.

This tool can help store owners to move one cart to other cart with keeping all current SEO ranking you have built up for years. It supports to migrate 301 SEO URLs of categories and products, so I think the first thing you can do is keep ranking of domain B. After that, you can rise it. http://litextension.com/seo-urls-migrations-plugins.html

It is already indexed and I can find it on the second page of the SERPs for my keyword.  I had someone else, unrelated to my site, check and they see it there too.  I've never needed to do this before, and am surprised by what happened.  Thanks again.

Thank you, Jasmine.  That is a good point about CTR varying from one site to another.  A person might be able to look at the site and know if visitors will be able to see the ads. Some sites run ads, but they really don't want to run ads, so they have them down at the bottom of the page or in a corner where few see them.

Responding to the original question about crowdsearch.me: It definitely does work, but the results are a little unpredictable. The best way to use it is to help push pages on page 2 or better up the rankings. There are other similar services out there, and they are also effective. Sooner or later the Google boys will figure out how to combat it, but for now, it's a viable black hattish weapon.

I'd like a robot that knows how to fetch coffee, go to the mailbox, take my car for inspection and bring it back.

You do not ever need to position the same NAP on 2 nearby commercial enterprise websites. You will simply further harm the original penalized website if you try this, and, you may simultaneously be tying the brand new internet site to a penalized entity.

Thank you, Lesley.   That is good to know.

Thanks EGOL, I'll take a look. One of the articles I read said the Trusted Store reviews were only related to service, not actual products which is also very limited. Mainly I was thinking the badge would be a plus for consumer confidence. Thanks again!

Thank you Gordon.  I enjoyed reading your reply and can relate to it. Since Google has changed so many things about the way that they rank websites, a lot of the advice for improving your rankings that was given just two years ago is now deadly to the health of your website.  And, there are some SEO forums today where an awful lot of the advice that is given is really bad in general and often inappropriate for the question being asked.  (Moz Q&A is generally pretty high quality IMO and part of that is because the Moz staff keeps an eye on it, participates in some threads that are jumping the track and uses endorsements to highlight good information.  There are a lot of forums where bad stuff persists and grows.) I am sure that I have given a lot of bad advice simply because of my beliefs and understandings are different from how google works - or I might not understand the person's question.  And, that is where a forum works well.  Since nobody knows many things about Google we answer questions that start an argument and many times being wrong advances ultimately advances your knowledge and understanding. For years I have read most of the questions that have a title like.... "Wah!  My traffic dropped".... or "Wah!  My site fell out of Google".  Those are the most valuable to understand and when my traffic dropped from a Panda problem, I had a really good idea why and how to fix it.  If I was not watching those threads I would have been wondering "What happened?" and not realize that something can be done about it. Q&A is where you can keep your ear to the ground.  And if you are helpful here, people will really be extra helpful to you when you ask a question.  Thanks to all who have answered questions for me.

Thanks, Marcus, My numbers are rising rapidly right now... but hopefully the trend will reverse. I'll let you know if I learn anything.

OK - glad to hear that. If you ever encounter an outage that's longer than 10-15 mins, please don't hesitate to ping our help team (help@moz.com). Hope you're well EGOL!

You can place a general description at the top of the page under a large detail photo.  Then down below - beside each color photo example you can talk about the pretty turquoise blue color of this item and how it is great paired with tan slacks (don't give a specific item there because it be discontinued, but you can link to search results or a color category page).

The price increase had very little impact upon sales or conversion rate.  I did not see a change in bounce rate.

Hi Oriole, Please clarify how shopify and feedburner/RSS interconnect? Thank you

Looking forward to seeing what you find out!

Thanks for the report, Jesse.
