Welcome to the Q&A Forum

An easy one here

Moz Analytics:

Go to your campaigns, then click on "Manage Campaigns to the top right of your campaigns table. In the next page you can see a "Delete Campaign" under the column named "Permanently Remove".

Moz Pro:

Go to your campaigns, click on the campaign settings and at the bottom you can find a DELETE button in red.

Hope that helps!

I would recommend you go by the MOZ's Beginner's Guide to SEO here: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo

Hey Chris,

Did site A or B receive a manual penalty?

As any penalty on A, which is 301'd to B, will ultimately pass the penalty to B. I would suggest removing the 301 ASAP. Then cleanup the A domain until it's clean (if a manual action, until it's revoked) and then you can think of putting the 301 back.

Removing a manual penalty could be a long process, it took 1 year for us and 4 reconsideration requests to get the penalty revoked. We had to use the disavow as a machete as disavowed almost our entire link profile leaving aside the domains that we knew were good links, all others were disavowed using the "Domain:" to avoid any missed link.

I was just wondering, for all of us that weren't able to be there, how soon can we expect the MozCon 2013 videos?

Because your G+ page now is just https://plus.google.com/+Halfwaytoconcord

Hmmm.. not necessarily. You can use that domain and not being penalized by the EMD algo. You could be in a problem if you did all the link building with the same keyword, exposing the targeted keyword, but as long as you keep it clean, I guess you are safe.

The EMD update I think targets more to those using every possible EMD domain and redirecting it to their site (brandname-key1.com / brandname-key2.com / etc.).

The stats in the page are from 2013, if you are going to present stats for 2014, then create a new page. You only need to update when the content becomes irrelevant, but for those stats, they will still be relevant in 10 years, they are "stats from 2013".

Hope that helps.

That coming from you is just enough for the day

I don't know who you are or what you do, but reading your responses I never, and I mean NEVER have something to add. It's like reading from wikipedia... lol

Since you switched from SEOMoz to Moz, every time I access the site (no matter if I close the browser or not) I am asked to login again, even though I am selecting the "Remember Me" option.

Can you please fix that?

PS: Same thing happens with OSE.

And just minutes ago, Cutts changed the post title and clarified he was referring to "guest blogging for the sole purpose of SEO"...

You can either create a script to go over the posts, recognize some pattern on the links and add the nofollow attribute, or edit post by post adding the nofollow.

As you mentioned Wordpress, a PHP script should do the work very fast and easily using an html DOM parser.

Here's an example: http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

and run something like:

foreach ($html->find('a') as $a) {
        if(!checkUrl($a->href)) {
            $a->rel = 'nofollow';
        }
    }

checkUrl is a function you should write to recognize those affiliates links...

Hope that helps!

No, the page authority is earned by the links it gets from other sources. If it is a guest post it is probably a new page, therefore it has no authority yet, but it will earn it over time (the most links it gets the better (shares, etc)).

Unfortunately you can't. Google announced a reduction on authorship snippets in search results a while ago, most likely to stop the abuse of authorship. Instead, they now only display the snippet once the author gains certain "level", or better said "trusted authors".

There's no fix you can do, however, you can regain your authorship by creating great content, publishing articles and interacting socially.

You can read more about the reduction on the authorship snippets here: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-authorship-dropping-17840.html

You published an article in your blog and then in Ezine? the exact same post? Those tactics are long dead (duplicate content). You can now promote your content using several other methods:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Stumbleupon
• G+
• inbound

just to name a few.

I think the difference is the pagerank passing.

You can have a 302 redirect link that is followed but equity is not passed to the final destination.

Kind of what twitter does. Links are all changed to a t.co link, while that link could be followed, link equity (pagerank) isn't flowing through that link.

Hope that helps.

Moz gives up to 1 month of historic data. They pull that from your Analytics account, therefore, if you need older data, you should go to your Analytics account to pull that up.

Colons are seen by search engines as what they are. You say something, a word, then a colon, and then comes an explanation or enumeration.

In your example, you did it right, perhaps you should move the colon to where they belong, right next to the last letter of the brand, so it reads: GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTIC: 225/45R17 91Q

The idea you mentioned, building titles for users, not for engines, is the way to go. However, there are some tweaks you can make to make it easier for both.

As in your example, the title could become: GENERAL TIRE: ALTIMAX ARCTIC 225/45R17 91Q - YOURSITENAME (personally I would put the colon next to the brand, and then comes the rest of the product name + you end up with " - YOURSITENAME" to help build YOUR brand.

Hope that helps!

Well, I've removed the keyword tag from all my Websites about 2 years ago. Mainly because Google said they don't use it anymore. However, Bing said that they could still use the meta to figure out what is the page about. Still we haven't see change in terms of rankings.

I personally won't use that meta again, just to remove some clutter from the page. With all today's metas (authorship, OGs, twitter cards, etc.) you are just adding more "garbage" that actually doesn't do anything.

Yup, just wait. However, I would consider switching to a better server, a 5 day downtime is a long downtime! Look for more reliable solution.

Which server type are you using? Apache?

If you are:

1. Choose the one you prefer, www. or without www.
2. Redirect all your pages to the one you choose, let's say you go with the one without www.

In your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^soundsenglish.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://soundsenglish.com/$1 [R=301,L]

3. Go to Google Webmaster Tools > Configuration > Settings > Preferred Domain (choose the one you chose)

4. Check that all your links in your page point to the correct one. If you link to your internal pages like this you can skip this step.

[5. Wait for the results.
