Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I personally use Wordpress with Foxycart.

Some things to think about are: do you need to keep track of inventory with this system? Do you need to display to the user how much product you have available? Do you need to take coupons? Issue gift certificates? Calculate shipping for a wide variety of package sizes and products? Offer multiple shipping methods? Offer sales to multiple countries? Deal with multiple currencies? Allow backorders? Set something as out of stock? What kind of sales reports are you looking for from the system?

Michael, check your PMs, I just sent you a quick note there.

Our Q&A section usually isn't the best place to post an offer like this, but is a better place for a query about where to post such an ad, how to better define what you're looking for, and what to look for in a response.

Thanks to David, Patrick, and EGOL for their great answers. You all help make Q&A such a great place!

A couple of notes here first.

Google has really clamped down on private blog networks. Your effort might be better spent in other areas than developing a network.

Domain Authority is a Moz metric, and the search engines don't use our metrics for rankings. We approximate, to a degree, how we think the search engines might value sites.

How the search engines treat an expired domain may depend on what you do with the site itself. If it had information about Ford Explorer tires and now it has information about hot air balloons, they can tell that something big has happened.

Great responses so far! I would like to add that Domain Authority is a metric created by Moz, and not a metric created or used by Google. There is likely a correlation that a higher DA will help you do better in search engines, but it's not a metric we're getting from Google or sending to them.

If you nofollow a link, the PR just evaporates. Google changed this in 2008 or before, according to Matt Cutt's post at http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/.

Lesley,

Page Rank sculpting was for internal links, and the original poster asked about nofollowing external links.

Lesley,

I haven't seen that about Google, and would love to hear more. My understanding is that if the link is paid, it should be nofollowed, not that all nofollowed links are paid. Many sites, including Moz, automatically nofollow all links in the comments, yet the links are by no means paid.

To Cocoon,

If you nofollow all outgoing links on your site, you're telling Google you don't trust any of the links that you have. Is that really what you want to do here?

Are you talking about local results, and having Yelp and Yellow Pages show up in search results for local searches, or are you talking about searching for things like book reviews and directories are in the results?

Hi! Thanks for pointing this out about the FAQ. We will be updating that so that it doesn't cause future problems.

I've talked to our help team, and it sounds like the primary issue in your case is not being in control of the listing. We do have a number of other Moz users who also deal with local situations, and they can help with ideas about how you might be able to work with the owner of the listing and/or Google Local.

If you're adding links from external sites yourself, those links aren't quite natural.

Download the CSV report and take a look at the URLs to see if they offer a clue. It could be that suddenly there's new pagination or session IDs that are being indexed.

I submitted one several years ago, and it seemed Google really wants to hear about your non-profit and why it should have the grant status, rather than have a modified form letter.

I do see on this page https://www.blogmutt.com/pages/customer there is a How It Works with the following:

1. We write a blog post on the suggested topic using the ideal number of keywords.
2. You post the content to your blog.
3. Your site's SEO improves.
4. Through your blog, you will engage new customers.

Could it be that they feel this is a guarantee that you can't back? I'm not saying anything against you or your company here, but just trying to see where Google might find an issue with things. One of the conditions in Advertiser Claims is "All advertising claims must be factually supportable." https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1331529?hl=en&ref_topic=1310871

Is it relevant to the post? If not, a good site would remove the link.

If you only just today learned that, you're much more of a recluse than I thought!

Have you tried browsing the site with the googlebot user agent? Could those sites have been hacked, and only show the spam if they think you're Google? I've seen that hack before, though don't know if any of those links have ever been in a sample bad link report from Google.

I've walked in to Sears and asked where the maternity section was. Even mimed a huge belly. Clerk didn't understand what I was talking about. Thankfully, most employees are a bit better than this, and I do like EGOL's approach.

OSE and the API are down right now, which is causing problems with the Moz Toolbar. If you keep an eye on our Twitter account, we'll keep you posted there with the status (I'm actually on vacation right now, and will not have good connectivity, so won't be able to update this thread myself).
