Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It's just advertising, there is no SEO benefit to their links. We tried it recently and discontinued because it was too expensive to justify. Your keywords and performance may be different though.

I would only post the actual review content on one page (the main or most important page) to avoid duplicate content issues and still use the aggregate ratings and microdata code on the lesser pages so that you still get the stars in the serps. If it ever gains momentum and you have a lot of reviews, the pages will become more and more similar content wise and be a duplicate content issue.

yea this is a no brainer for google to make a connection

Site A: 120.30.30.150

Site B: 120:30.30.151

Article posting to places like ezines is no longer recommended and can get you penalized, also could be onpage factors or duplicate content issues between the two sites, there could be a lot of reasons, would need to see the actual sites though in order to determine.

Definitely sounds scalable for this site. Taking this type of shortcut with scraped content won't work. I would call it just that when you talk to the client, it's a "shortcut using scraped content" that Google has caught onto and suppressed. If the client is skeptical show him a link to the official Google forum where they talk against this.

Rewriting the content is easy and provides little hand holding, just make sure the person doing the writing has good writing skills and has English as a first language or it will read funky and at the end of the day you are creating content for the user. This is also the perfect opportunity to get a few instances of your keyword phrase into the content where it probably wasn't there before in the copied content!

Does anyone know what determines when Open Site Explorer will ask if you meant to type in the redirected URL or when it will automatically change the URL to the www version.

example of a site I get asked the redirect question:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=checkbook.org

Oh Hey! It looks like that URL redirects to www.checkbook.org/. Would you like to see data for <a class="clickable redirects">that URL instead</a>?

example of a site that redirects automatically:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=healthleap.com

By the way, when interlinking domains is done, with multiple sites owned by one enterprise it is usually one way linking from the lesser sites to the main enterprise site (usually the .com)  so it is like a hub with all lesser sites passing page juice to the main site and making that site stronger.

• main domain is stronger than subdomain  site.com/blog/
• it can be set up anywhere and pointed to a virtual directory it doesn't have to physically live on your site
• I would use the brand name and keep building your brand
• if you are using the blog for SEO purposes think of them as landing pages, not just places to add links for your site. each page/topic should target a keyword phrase in hopes of bringing organic traffic to that page
• don't overdo links on your blog posts or it looks spammy and mix up anchor texts. maybe two links to your main pages in each blog post
• blog posts must be 500 words or more too make sure Google doesn't think you're pages are too flimsy/thin
• set up the blog with SEO plugins, it's easy for a blog to not be configured properly and hurt your site if you allow everything to get indexed like tag and category pages for example

if you have a paid hosting company call them and they'll run tools on your site to find any exploits.

if your traffic is holding steady you might be ok, just get those links off your site and take care of the security holes. Also your FTP write/edit permissions might need to be tightened up.

you mean in the <title>tag? yes you can use hyphens.</p></title>

Looks like your plugins settings need to be adjusted to remove GA tracking like Yoast and SEO Plus.

If your name or your business name gets penalized those are two main ways people won't be able to find you.

Since those will most likely be low competition keywords they should rank on their own for their searches. I wouldn't play around with link building schemes with important domain names like personal name and company name especially if you are new to link building, I would do this on alternate domain names that won't cause too much grief if they get penalized.

How are your rankings after you removed the hack? has your site returned?

I would reach out to the site owners to let them know they were hacked, a lot of them will figure it out eventually and remove the links but it makes sense to be proactive and tell them their site has viagra links embedded in the code and Google will punish them for this, tell them you noticed it because your site was attacked too so they know you're on their side.

In the interim, I personally wouldn't have the patience to wait and would run some of the free crawler services to check for errors. Two of my favorite are Xenu and ScreamingFrog.

break up the page into additional sitemap pages

bigger problem i see is keyword stuffing.

This is a dead link building strategy and can be dangerous nowadays (especially if not in the same niche) and can get both sites penalized, you should at very least nofollow one of the sites doing the linking.

Not recommended for  boosting serps, might be viable for cross traffic if each site sells something the other does not for example.

I like yours better, i was trying to avoid being technical because sometimes the owner gets the email or whatever and it may go over their head.

The important thing is that they are made aware that they have viagra links on their site, and to let whoever handles their website coding know that they have a serious issue to the health and rankings of their site.

I never realized the behind the scenes efforts you guys put into this forum. Kudos!  Another idea to encourage people to close out their questions and leave feedback is to remind them when they login, that they have X amount of questions that aren't closing and awaiting feedback (like eBay). An email would probably be very effective as well. I wouldn't expect a great response from the initial new answer email as our psyche thinks that someone will come along with a better answer and we wait and forget to come back. and close out the question.

Give it a bit more time. You can request Google to recrawl your site in WMT and also speed up the crawl rate on your site a bit in WMT.

There is not one instance of "compare travel" on your homepage.

Doing this is the best way to assure that your site will NEVER rank for "compare travel"

Also, it's only a 11 page site with poor SEO, it takes more to rank for a moderately competitive keyword than having it in your domain name.

FYI, pull your CSS code out of the body of your page and reference it in an include file.

Don't sweat it, it will give you something to do or you can probably outsource that real cheap. It's grunt work.

No problem, getting hacked sucks and I want to wring the neck of the person responsible. Feel free to mark as good answer or give us a thumbs up

Visit the site and see if they have a contact us form or email addressmost sites do, only spam sites hide that info because they don't want to be contacted.

you can also go to godaddy.com and check the registrar information and see the email of the person the domain name is registered to if the don't have registration set to private (spam sites usually are domain by proxy private)
