Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yeah they all work for me too.

So this remains one of the weirder topics on here but for different reasons than I first suspected. ..I'm really not sure what to tell you. Sorry.

So it's hard to tell by that graph as the date range isn't listed, but it seems that this is a relatively new site, right? Like maybe 3 weeks old? You might just be feeling the effects of the Google Honeymoon (Thanks to Marie for that term)

Google will bump your SERPs way up when you're  new and then you'll fall back down. That's pretty typical. Your domain authority is 17, you have 7 linking root domains with 22 total links. That's very very small. I'm assuming your targeted keywords are pretty high competition so I'd say you just need to keep building awesome content and gaining legit links.

I couldn't find an example of the duplicated content but didn't spend a ton of time with the site after seeing the small link report. This could also be affecting you but I'd guess it's more of what I was just saying. You just need to get your online marketing campaign into full gear!

that's weird. what are the domains let's see if I can access them?

Wait are you saying this is just for your clients' sites? You can access other sites just fine? That's how you posted this question?

Sorry i'm confused.

Your internet and/or router is down..? Yeah I'd power-cycle the router and modem and try again. Or contact your cable company.

No offense but this is one of the weirdest Q&A posts I've seen here. I'm having a weird morning though so it totally fits.

Well.. yeah it sounds like duplicate content issues from what you described here but there's no way for us to tell without seeing the domain and being able to poke around.

So without that I can't really help you.

5 % keyword density would be a little higher than I'd like, but don't worry too much about these numbers. Honestly just focus on if it reads humanly or not.

In briefly glancing at your site, I gotta admit that the links on the right to the articles seemed stuffed to me and I didn't much love the way it read. I understand that each article is about "fake diplomas" (!! I didn't even know this was a thing, WEIRD!) but there's gotta be a better way to title the articles. It is quite clear what you guys do and not necessary to repeat that in the article's title.  Your domain is fake diploma.com... that does it right there. Call an article "How to Frame Your Masterpiece" or something instead. Make it fun, funny, and spice it up a bit.

Otherwise don't worry too much about this recommendation in Moz Pro. A lot of these things are simply that, recommendations but not necessities. You may skate by just fine without changing a thing. That said, it's probably indicative of a usability issue that needs addressing and I think you might be surprised at the success you can gain by re-wording things a bit differently.

Like I said, don't worry about stuffing your main keyword in each of the titles. Everyone is going to know that you make fake diplomas.

Good luck!

Go to Open Site Explorer and directly under the URL input box is a button that says "+ Compare up to 5 sites."

That's your ticket, right there.

You should be building your blog on your domain and your domain only. This is where you can gain a ton of backlinks and traffic to your site. Do not put a roadblock between your users and your site.

Move that blog on over!

You've got 7 linking root domains. 7 isn't much at all.

That site needs content, something fun new and exciting to draw visitors and gain backlinks, and then a link building campaign to follow.

If the server isn't actually returning a 404 response then those links are still actively pointing at your domain. Just because you point them at a custom 404 page doesn't mean it returns a 404. In fact, in your case it's clearly returning a 301 which passes link juice.

A 302 does not pass link juice and might be the better option, but I'm not sure that even will be your best bet. Your best bet is to delete the pages in their entirety and re-create them with different URLs.

Well, your best bet is to remove the poison links but trust me I know how impossible that can be.

Anyway.. Hope this helps.

Nevermind it totally worked. I just tested it out on a dummy page and it tracked the event.

Thank you all incredibly much for all the help. This is fantastic and is going to make me look like a rock-star.

Forget about the old content and build new content. That's the best advice I can give.

If the old content is good, keep it. If it sucks, get rid of it. If it's mediocre and timeless, re-vamp it.

Good luck!

How bout shidiot? ...this thread is degenerating I apologize.

Mark,

Thank you for this. May I ask if I'm doing this correctly? I have a quick jquery tag in the header that reads:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Track submission events.
  $('#quote-form').submit(function() {
        _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'R4Q', 'Form submission']);
  });
});

Where "quote-form" is the form id of course.

Is this correct? Thanks again

haha yes I couldn't agree more. "FIDIOT?!" hilarious

Disregard mine, Clever was more... clever.. and beat me to it as well.

just disallow the root domain in your robots.txt file and when you're ready to let them back in edit your text file back to normal.

302s don't pass link juice. 301s do. Not sure how that fact works with what you're doing... Sounds tricky.

Works fine for me.
