Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You'll want a separate account for that subdomain, and also put the robots.txt excluding that subdomain in that subdomain itself.

They even change the title tags for companies like Apple, so it's not related to links.

You can use Open Site Explorer, Google Webmaster Tools, and several other tools to look at links to your site and see what kind of links you do have.

Your other question said that you get zero organic visits from Google. You'd want to look in AWstats and GWT to see if they show any evidence of Google sending you traffic.

Hi! If you download your crawl report as a CSV, there will be a column there showing you the referring site that linked to the 404.

When I search "Multitasking is Bad for You, Mkay" in Google, I do get your site, though as the last out of four results (in incognito search).

Have you checked to make sure your Analytics code is properly installed? Do you have access to server logs, such as awstats, where you could look for a "second opinion" to see if GA is misconfigured and you are getting organic traffic from Google?

When you went into Google Webmaster tools to fetch as googlebot (from the answer in the previous question), did you have any messages in GWT? Also, look at the information given to you there about the impressions and clicks you're getting to also help see if Google is actually sending you traffic.

Title tag guidelines have changed. Check out this post by Dr. Pete at http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool

Do you mean your title tags in the SERPs? Google is known for changing title tags, especially based on the search used.

I'd check the terms of service on the site, and see if you're allowed to use the reviews on your own site, too.

The site looks awfully broad. Everything from SMS love letter in Hindi to how to make a poster to C++ errors. Who is your audience?

Are the URLs gone? Or you just don't want them to be indexed? It's better to set things up in Wordpress (if that's your CMS) to not index tags and categories than to go and tell GWT to remove them.

Thanks! We'll fix that as fast as we can.

When you put your own URL into Open Site Explorer, we're looking at that URL (such as mycompany.com) and the FB likes that URL has.

What you've given me here is the URL for your Facebook page itself, which is actually a completely different site.

Hope that explains things!

Off topic, but those are some fancy digs! The local church and the community center next to the library were always good enough for my Iowa relatives. I have a bunch of family that comes from Battle Creek, and more that come from Des Moines. I had to take a look and see if I've been there before, but it doesn't look familiar to me.

OSE looks at Facebook likes for your page/domain, NOT for your Facebook page on the Facebook domain. If you look at it that way, does it explain the numbers?

For example, OSE shows moz.com has having a couple of thousand likes, compared to our FB page on Facebook.com that has 151,000 likes.

How many likes does your page itself have in FB? We're looking at likes of your pages/posts, not of your page on the facebook.com domain.

Hi Federico,

Could you give us a link for this? Would be nice to be able to quote it in the future. Thanks!

Did a 301 fix things?

This is the same question as http://moz.com/community/q/pure-spam-penalty. Closing this question, and asking that people respond in the other thread.

Thomas,

You've shown great enthusiasm in this reply. If you could keep to answering the actual question, however, it would really help keep the answer on topic for the original poster. Thanks!

I believe we are/have deployed a fix for this. Please let me know if you're still seeing this issue. Sorry about the problem!
