Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Unfortunately, I couldn't track down any tools that do this for you.

That is interesting! At Moz, we haven't attributed or correlated any organic lifts in our Facebook views when we turn off promotion. While Facebook maintains that they don't bias views for people who pay for ads, I've seen others make similar comments. However, I haven't seen any good studies on this.

We got the same warning here at Moz in WMT. While responsive isn't affecting rankings yet, it's coming and Google's letting us know ahead of time. Additionally, if your competitors aren't mobile-optimized, this may be a great way to get a leg up on them.

I've done Facebook ad campaigns and can definitely say that the likes don't go away when you turn them off.

You might try searching on the FB help community. You might be able to find someone having the same problem. (That's where I've been able to solve most of my FB problems.) There have definitely been times when FB's own reporting got screwed up, so it can be a check for that too.

You can definitely lose likes a couple ways: users can unlike it OR people who liked it have deleted or otherwise had their profile deleted by Facebook itself. It's so few that it's likely some user cleanup on Facebook's end. I wouldn't sweat it.

Hrm...I haven't really heard of this happening without an admin sending out requests. You might followup with your fellow admins.

There are also apps that sometimes do this automatically for people. So you'll want to make sure that none of those are installed on the profile.

I should be clear that we're still in research mode, so it may be a while still on the old platform, depending how other projects at Moz shake out. We all need time from our devs.

While I'm not sure how sophisticated Google's algo is at picking this up, Google's people reviewers would probably note it as suspicious. Again I'd ask why? What business advantage does this give you? (Wil Reynolds has famously said that when something sounds fishy or not the best practice ask why 5 times.

In the Skype example, the why is language of the users. It's not spammy because it does something clear and obvious to help the user. Whereas your URL just looks like keyword stuffing.

So that SERP is definitely picking up on language of IP/searcher and that's showing the English version for Skype's site, which is a bit different.

Took a quick look at the page, and nothing majorly technical jumped out at me as preventing or hindering page rankings. I always suggest making sure your site's set up in Moz Analytics and looking at the crawl diagnostics, which show a lot of common technical problems. (If you haven't already, of course.) I did notice that on your example, the title tag is too long and Google truncates it.

For e-commerce, the big separator between leaders is content. The more you can create unique content about your products -- start with the most important ones -- the better off you will be. Make sure you have unique product descriptions. People love video. And people also love solutions or knowledge about how to use the product and what it will solve for them. You do a great job at listing the specs and features, but what's the value add? A quick look at the competition in the SERPs shows that your competitors, they aren't doing a good at this, and it would set you apart.

Additionally, I also noticed that your site in general has a pretty low domain authority, and the product page in question doesn't have any backlinks. These will definitely affect your rankings. Before jumping on building links, I highly suggest reading our beginner's guide to link building, which will walk you through the pros, cons, and best practices to build links as you don't want to get into trouble with Google over links.

Hey Andy,

This is a great suggestion! We're deeply aware that our Q&A system has some not so friendly quirks. We're actually currently on the hunt for a new platform solution/backend to host our Q&A forum on, and we'll definitely add this to our list of features that we'd like to have.

Thanks for being an active Q&Aer. And sorry about any troubles and frustration.

Both Ryan and Linda have great answers for your specific issue.

As a new customer, I highly suggest signing up for our webinars that walk you through how to use the tools and real life examples with them.

As Ryan mentioned, OSE is updated on a schedule. Our next update is scheduled for March 11th. We try to update it -- barring any technical difficulties -- at least once a month.

Highly recommend against using lists like these. They are likely low-quality, bad, or spammy places to put links. This is exactly how sites get hit with Penguin penalties.

We highly recommend against lists of sites to put links on. They are typically of bad or spammy quality. And Google gives out penalties for bad links.

Check out our entire Link Building guide from the great Paddy Moogan.

Definitely look at traffic and conversions, and start with those.

Also, re: affiliates, are the affiliates themselves complaining about 404s? Most any affiliate programs/management systems have the ability to shut off links. I assume they then inform affiliates to change links.

You definitely want to make sure you're crawling whatever variation you are using as your canonical. You can easily change your settings. You also want to make sure you're allowing bots to crawl your site.

I agree with Lynn about questioning the reasons to set up your homepage like that. It does look suspicious and keyword stuffing. EMDs have seen a huge decline in recent years with Google algo updates.

Addition to any concerns about Google, Pinterest has been making efforts in order to end keyword stuffing. They are working to surface more content to users based on what they're interest in and working on their search efforts. Keyword stuffed pins will get an algorithmic-style penalty in that Pinterest won't recommend them in either users' Pinterest home feed or in search. To my knowledge, they have not banned anyone for keyword stuffing, but I imagine at least making spam reporting easier on the platform will be coming soon. (At least that would be my guess.)

You can use the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool. We use Bing's data and then some of our own calculations. (We used to use Google Adwords, but they blocked all SEO tools from their API data.) I'd also say to make sure you're testing and taking any of these numbers and their volumes as suggested, not true exact data. (Google included!)
