Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Will it help, sure it will get your site more attention, and rank probably a little better, but due to the lack of relevancy don't expect the world of it. But if they are your own site, maybe you could create a page where you talk a bit more about the relation between company X and Y and then link to it to make the relevancy a bit better.

Thats done automatically. Check the source of the page and you'll see

Good luck!

If you are really carefull on links, content and theme quality the drop with be temporary. But complete structure change with different headings, changed internal link structure can really do harm on your site for a bit longer.

As long as gross kept the same only the theme changes, and you don't build of a lot of 404's you'll be fine within 1 or 2 weeks.

Personally i no-index follow those "category" pages when they are just list pages of blog posts..
I also do this on certain e-commerce categories. Brand pages or collection pages i keep indexed. but the page where its jus another list of several products without clear added value content on them just no-index follow them!

Yes it can surely pinpoint more powerfull link opportunities vs the spammy ones, but to be honest, for each link this will cost you a lot of time. i think a good mix of great links with a few one on spammy sites which are not clearly super spammy (else you see it with your plain eye aswell) is not that horrible.

There is so much more to investigate to pinpoint this issue, to really wrap your head around it you should check things like inbound links, address/company cites around the web, maybe even compare the MOZ statistics like DA and PA how well pages are scored. before getting a little bit better understanding if A really out performance B but doens't rank well as B, then there is a big change there is something else at play, maybe preffering the other because of better, more unique content?

Hi,

this goes indeed pretty deep, but its perfectly possible with an extra little tool which you already mentioned. The paid version of Screaming Frog gives you a lot of information, and with a little digging it gives you perfect outbound link profiles of sites. but a lot of data needs to be crawled so thats why you need the paid version.

There are 2 good options for this, when we get this kind of request i would make it custom made since this is pretty easy and tailor made.

If you ask me which existing platform would fit best i'd say Wordpress, this is the most light-weight in basis, but in the end the most customisable.

No not really. Be aware that you make good keyword groups. for example. if you are targeting fruit and have keywords like "buy fruit, buy fresh fruit, good fruit, fruit products" but also "apples, good apples"
Don't make 1 campaign or one big list.
separate those.

This can even go further, personally i make groups for almost al different keywords. "Fruit shop" and "fruit store" are in my case in different add groups.

If you follow that way, your unlimited in number of words. and its still with a clear and clean overview.

Works just fine for me
Somtimes it indeed also blocks GA scripts.

Not sure if you mean this kind of things but you could try AdBlocker as chrome extensions.
Seems to what your searching for.

Also don't overthink to much on the priority. 
Set your changefreq to the appropriate (this signals google to crawl this pages more often or nog) Its a mistake to set this very with the idea, "i need to get my site crawled as much as possible". For unchanging content this can be a wrong thing to do and will affect your score negatively.

But google states on this document that its not effecting your ranking at all.

Do you want To rank for these pages? Then you would need to simply add more unique content. video descriptions. Excerpts tags, owner profile and so on.

if not you could fix It with canonical

in my opinion it's not really that important.. as long as all pages are in the sitemap. It's more the way of organizing and generating the site maps which is interesting. Normally id say. For smalldr shops get a static pages a categories and a products per category site map. For larger sites just make 3. Static pages. Categories and products.

Hope this helps

No it's not. if the new domain which i guess has no authority or ranking capabilities at all you won't benefit from this, i would also not bother you, but there is no need if you solely want to dot his for better ranking.

first of all it looks really spammy to me and probably to customers as well. All though a few months/years back i would say a No No don't do it. But nowadays you see google just no caring to much about stuffen. but from a certain point google just does not add any value to the 20th time a name is mentioned for example.

I would worry more about the looks of it. it looks very spammy to me.

Highland has a very good answer to this for sure. But i'd like to add something. We are magento specialists and work with a lot of multi-store environments, i'd say follow the following steps

• Best case: try to write unique copy per website with the same product and title. this would be fine, as long as the content is really unique on all 3 sites you have 3 ranking opportunities in stead of one.
• Else: If thats costs to much time or effort and does not give you enough ROI just choose highland's method of setting a canonical tag to you most powerful domain which is more likely to rank
• If thats to much time just forget it and let google fight it out, it wont give you much devaluation

Great response. But I half following you.

Do you say Google will think its spammy and won't propogate any link juice or just like a few.

in that case wouldent it be better to dofollow only the home link?

Hi mozzers,

We are a internet firm building several sites and webshops every month. On almost every site we build we put a link in the footer as some kind of signature of our work. (similar to artists on their painting).

Those are often dofollow links to our main page. We do get several new clients of those links each year. but in seo perspective, is this a really bad thing, or do you think because its not solely for SEO purposes its ok, but its not adding any extra weight because of some domains got 10 pages with our link on it, some ecommerce stores like 7.000. I can imagen google to give the same amount of importance to the 10 or 7k site.

Whats your idea on it?
Our website is: www.microdesign.nl

The reason it shows is probably because your Analytics code is also copied and therefor showing up.
in the long term this could give a small problem with duplicated content. while if your site stays a better, more popular site it won't affect you hugely, but try to contact the domain owner, or the hoster of this fraud website. and that way try to get the site taken down.
