Hi.
I strongly recommend you to DO NOT DO THAT. It's Really difficult to measure the impact of adding a link on every page of a site. (It's also called sitewide).
As Matt said, you will get almost nothing of the link juice when adding a multiple page link.
I suggest you to take a read of this tutorial from MOZ.
Hope it helps.

Hi there,
The best option is to have different information in every page. I'd be advise you to re write as many as possible.
Hope it helps.

Hi Juan Ignacio,
Thanks for answering.
Yeap, I've had cases that the title was rewritten. But, not the description. It just bothers me that google shows information in the snippet that "should be accurate" but it ends with text that arent logical or some random words.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for answering.
I do understand what you are saying.
Contiuing with the example, You could also name other colours in the meta description. And in that case it would not be changed in google.

Hi everyone.
I'm noticing that when searching the same web, but from different queries the description shown in the snippet is different.
I've attached 2 images to clarify this topic.
Searches done:
1) https://www.google.com.ar/search?q=http://www.dawebrokers.com/
2) https://www.google.com.ar/search?q=http://www.dawebrokers.com/testimonios
Also, I do know that google indexes the text from description that seems more accurate for the search. But, I've understood that the text should be the same on every search.
Can anyone enlighten me in this subject?
I'm starting to believe that it's becoming useless the meta description
Thanks!

Hi Becky,
My answer: Yes It makes a difference.
As Laura said, it's debatable.
Personally I think that the meta title is a perfect place to place some keywords. Of course, don't be abusive.
Every time that im in keyword optimization debate, I ask everybody to be concious whether placing any keyword in some places, such as meta title, headings or meta descriptions have real meaning in the context.
I've seen many articles that have wrong semantics, just for having put the keyword there.
Be logical, be reasonible and think if you where a visitor (or the google bot): Would you consider apropiate in that text, the keyword?
Hope it helps.

Fantastic, thanks for clarifying and confirming the intenal update
Hi Brian,
809 over 863 is over the 93% of the site indexed. I'd wait a little more.
Also, I dont think that i will add value that you manually submit the URLs that you think are not indexed.
A reminder, WMT is being realy delayed on the latest information shown. In my case, the last record is from 4th may.
Hey there,
If you want an advise on linkbuilding. I'd suggest you to consider each different TLD site as a different site. So then focus on local optimization as required.
Also, take a deep look into these articles:

Hi there,
I think that the problem you're having is because the spider doesnt come around your site.
Have you tried any crawler software? such as screaming Frog, so as you can check for certain what is google seeing.
Also, I'd give a try by indexing manually just one of those articles.
Also, you could take a read on this MOZ Article: Why Won't Google Use My META Description?
Hope its helpful

You submitted those yesterday? You should wait more time. I'd wait for about 1-2 weeks for a correct number. Remember that Google takes its time to index.
I've had site for that amount of pages and some took about a week and others took over a month
Hi there,
Where do you get the stat fo the indexed pages?
I'm seeing about 60 indexed in the subdirectory: samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
Check it yourself by searching: site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
Just to rule out, have you submitted all sitemaps to search console? Are all your pages indexable?
that last one is to be checked whether it's set to no index on the robots.txt or at every page with a meta tag.
And, have you tried indexing manually any random page and check if it's indexed?
Robert,
when redirecting one domain to another, all the links pointing to the old domain will be pointing to the new domain, that will increase drastically the number of liks on the new domain. That could be taken as a SPAM action by Google.
Well, technically speaking it would not harm the new domain linkbuilding. It would make look it really unnatural.
Hi,
The risk that you're taking depends on how different are the old and the new brand. Also, considering the case that this change implies a change in the category of the site. (i.e. technology to furniture).
In the part of the subdomains, I dont see any complications on redirecting the subdomains and creating the new "business.old-brand.com". Of course you do have to analyze the linkbuilding profile of the old domain, and how it would impact in the new domain.
A quick and easy example, old domain has 10k links and new domain has 2k links. After the redirect, 10k links will go to the new domain, this could do much harm to the new domain linkbuilding.
Hope I was clear enough to make me understand.

Hi there,
If you're trying to make more relevant some page, as you do some traditional linkbuilding, internal links shuold come too.
As Eric stated, dont create links just looking at the relevance of the page where the link would go, be careful about the visitors, be constructive and creative.
About the content, It would be advisable to create specific content for that targeted page. Even more, some blog posts about that scholarship, with its corresponding internal links. Dont abuse from the blog posts, remember to look after the audience.
Hope it helps.

Hi there,
First, we should state a few concepts:
Secondly, I've checked yout Linkbuilding profile with Ahrefs and magestic, and it does not look pretty. You have most of your links coming from chinese and russian sources and over 75% of your links are nofollow (77%) to be exactly (this coming from ahrefs).
An other thing to say is that you've started to do linkbuilding just a few months ago and have rapidly changed. Be careful with the linkbuilding part.
One last part, I'd strongly suggest you to take a deep rean on these two tutorials, one from MOZ and the other from YOAST, as you use wordpress.

Hi Vjay,
Yes it does matter.
Check this Moz Blog post:

Hi there,
In the matter of SEO, both are correct.
If you choose the first one, you can add breadcums to help the user's usability within the site. Personally, I think is more descriptive this one when you have few products.
On the other hand, if the site is an ecommerce with thousands of products, It's more accurate to have it well listed in categories. This not only helps user's usability but also helps you in the site's organization, and in the case that there are many products that have same caracteristics, you could group them into another category.
Hope it helps.

Hi Bridget,
Yeap, I do know that those points are straightforward. I was just wondering about any factors that could be taken into action, such as links or social media.
Speacking of wich, I've found an article, https://www.semrush.com/blog/13-essential-key-strategies-for-ranking-mobile-apps-in-app-stores-and-landing-pages/ that speaks about linkbuilding.
Of course Linkbuilding is not the main reason to get better rankings, but as it says, help to improve SERPs.
Hi all!
Im diving into the App Store Optimization (ASO).
So, one of my coleagues told me that traditional linkbuilding works in order to get better ranks in the app store, I am specifically saying about the Google Play Store. (not apple store).
Well, any thoughts in linkbuilding? Does it realy work? any study case, blog post or experience in this subjet?
Thanks!
GR.
