Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you! Jim

I was not aware of the moz tool amazingly enough.

thank you for your help! Jim

We have a client with a list of phrases that are part of a book they are promoting. We want to find out if those phrases are popular searches on Google and if not what phrases might be use to attract people in their AdWords campaigns as derivatives of those phrases. Is there a service or tool that can help with this task? Thanks. Jim

Can anyone direct us to an actual sample of the 500 word essay required and a list of all the documents required once the client is accepted as a Google for nonprofit community member?

Thanks, Jim

If one looks at a page on our client's website, (http://truthbook.com/urantia-book/paper-98-the-melchizedek-teachings-in-the-occident for example), there are a huge amount of links in the body of the page. All internal links are normal links. All external links arerel="nofollow" class="externallink"

We have two questions: 1.       Could we be being penalized by google for having too many links on these pages? Will this show i our webmaster reports?

2.       If we are being penalized,  can we keep the links (and have no penalty) if we made the internal links rel="nofollow" class="externallink" as well? We need these internal links to help people use these pages as an educational tool.  This is why these pages also have audio and imagery.

Thank you

Thank you Keri

We searched two words for a client so see how/where their site returned results. Depending on both the browser we used and the search engine, the results were so vastly different we were shocked. The site returned #2 or 3 on Bing and YahooSearch and not until the 3rd page for Google! And it also returned much worse on Chrome than any other browser, a Google product.

I know this topic must be covered somewhere, or perhaps someone would be kind enough to chime in and shed some light? We have been working hard to optimize for Google and failing, but doing very well everywhere else. What gives?

We have a client's domain that has been live for 8 years. truthbook.com. With the new changes to Google, no matter what we do, we cannot get the words Urantia Book to connect with the website and lift it's search engine returns to the first page where it was for the past 4 years.. It is clear, that no matter what Google may say, the most important factor is having the actual words urantiabook in the domain is imperative. We know it was that way before Google changes (they were always on the first page) but now the client cannot get back on the front page.

The mission and theme of the site is Jesus in The Urantia Book. So it is not a stretch to acquire urantiabookandjesus.com and forward it to truthbook.com

The question is, "will they get any bang for the change? If they considered changing the actual main domain to urantiabookandjesus.com or .org and forward truthbook.com to it, will they be hurt by that strategy? "

Thanks, Jim

I have read the two previous answers in the Forum about this subject but Google has seemed to have again changed the playing surface. Within the past 30 days, we have seen a huge spike in organic search returns seeming to favor .org as domain authorities.

Has anyone else noticed this shift and is it just coincidence or worth factoring in?

If it is a shift, will Google punish those that have .org but have used.com previously for switching the redirects to serve .org first?
