Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You're welcome. Hope it helped you

It is quite common. You're safe till you're not caught.

David Liu is right, Google still not have any such mechanism which can instantly identify the bad or good. But what I don't agree with is "obeying the mantra 'build great content and they will come' will take you a long time to get where they are, if it ever does get you there"

Start targeting the top notch blogs in your industry to get referral links and recommendation, and it won't take much time to take you to get where your competitor is. Make sure the content you share bring some value to the blog force readers to share it with their social/ personal network.

My website is Adcart.com, we were no where, some 3 months back, in Google search results. But now you can enter any keyword, which comes to your mind by looking at our website and we rank in first 15 results and in top 10 for almost 90% queries. We just published in 13 high quality articles in exceptionally high quality blogs to achieve these results.

It happens with me as well.

First off you don't need to worry about the IE, most of the people have stopped using IE only because these issues. Check the following Browser Statistics and Trends

2014 (April)

Chrome 58.4%

IE  - 9.4%

FF - 25.0%

Sarari - 4.0 %

Though, if you're still concerned about your website IE compatibility, you might need to use some IE hacks as you would be using some attributes or features which IE doesn't support.

I found a solution to a problem wihich is something similar to your issue:

"Modernizr can help, especially if you're using newer things like html5 and css3. Another thing that can help is boilerplate code, I personally like the html5reset.

One particular thing from that is going to help you a lot: if I look at your site in IE it says it goes into Quirks mode, making IE7, 8, and 9 behave... well... quirky Place the following meta tag in your head section to improve things for IE:

<metahttp-equiv="x-ua-compatible"content="ie=edge,chrome=1"></metahttp-equiv="x-ua-compatible"content="ie=edge,chrome=1">

You can see what "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" IE is running in by bringing up the developer toolbar (F12), you can tweak it temporarily for your browsing session to see what happens if document mode is "IE9 standards"."

It is better to first remove that information and once update then try adding new details.

If you want to delete any specific information that you’ve added to your page, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you're using Google+ as your page.
2. Choose Dashboard from the left hand drop-down menu and click Manage this page for the page you’d like to edit.
3. Click Edit page or Edit business information (for local pages) in the upper right hand corner of the screen
4. Click the section that you want to change. Instead of updating the information, click the X to remove it.
5. Select Save.

Please be aware that even though you’ve deleted it, some of the information you’ve added about your business may take up to 60 days to be deleted from Google's active servers and may remain in their backup systems for an additional period of time. Information that you may have added but is also publically available or from other sources won’t be removed.

If you don't use hreflang="x-default" there can be some potential search issues:

1. Searchers of a particular language/region aren't shown a URL tailored to them when one exists.
Google might show:
www.example.com/en-us/product-item (in Google UK - searcher was searching for example product item)

2. Search results might disply two similar URLs from yoru site, confusin users

3. Search engine might not be aware of all language variations

However, if the main index page (www.example.com) doesn't exist and has been 301 redirected to en-us then you can keep en-us as your default page and use .

Or, if you've have a URL that doesn't consistently serves content in one language - perhaps it redirects to different language pages based on the user's IP, or it dynamically serves different language content on the same page, or it's a page which only asks the user to select their preferred home page then your hreflang value can be x-default. x-default signals to search engines that the URL's language is broad, rather then specific

Hreflang doesn't harm in any which way even if you're using proper redirects

I don't think you need anything else if you've got your Google grant account approved.

Otherwise, first get your 501(c)(3) status

and here are some other helpful points for specific sections of the application:

**_URL of website: _**Enter the website you'd like to advertise in your AdWords account. This website may differ from the domain of your organization, depending on the program or initiative you wish to promote.

Organization Mission Statement / Primary Objective: What is the story you'd like to share with the world? What distinguishes you from other non-profits in your field? Since ad text is limited to 3 lines, what language would attract users to your website? This information will also help you brainstorm about creating your ad.

Explain how you expect Google AdWords advertising will contribute to your organization_:_Discuss your mission and goals in terms of online advertising. Which initiatives or programs would you advertise online? Other than an increase in donations and website traffic, what would you like to gain from this award?

Did you talk to : http://adultadspro.com/ ?

Hi,

I had managed a similar project back in 2005 (London Escorts), at that time search engines were not that strict, but it was still very difficult to promote such website

Then, I started searching for blogs/ websites/ forums which discuss or write about such sensitive topics. Now, there are a plenty of such websites (video sites, forums, blogs, etc.) which can allow you to promote your products there but the advertising cost can be bit high as they're aware that no search engine would allow them to advertise.

You can start preparing a list of such blogs/sites/forums/ dating sites and negotiate the advertising cost for static banners, expendable banners, video ads, text links (I won't recommend text links).

Also, start sharing the informative posts via blogs, guest blogging, forum discussions, etc. (this will cost a lot of efforts)

Besides, if you're looking for a ad network then you can try: http://adultadspro.com/

Hope this helps

Firs off don't don't build links for same keyword (if you're).

Second, if these links have not been crawled by Google for last 15 days, then they are not at all quality links. Though, as Erwan mentioned do check for those backlink Google Webmaster Tools, MOZ to see they these tools are able to crawl them or not. If They're also not able to crawl them then those links are of no value.

If you have control over the web page appearing in Search Results, so you can simple remove it with GWT or you can do with the help of robots.txt

or

if you don't own these page, then these forms can help you get the content removed:

Hey Mozzers,

I am still waiting for some response. Isn't there anyone, who can help me with this?

Is it possible to set a goal of users visiting from Facebook  and completing the Order?

If yes, could you please guide me through the process?

As far as my knowledge is concerned about supplemental index. Google has two types of indexes, the main index and the supplemental index. And site can be in supplemental index because of any of the following reason:

duplicate content

low/thin quality content

lack of quality links (most obvious reason)

as far as the passing of link juice is concerned so I don't think Google passes any link juice.

This is the high to improve your link portfolio with high quality (irrespective or PR) links and remove all junk code and content from your website.

Business profile listing is nothing but listing your business in business directories, like:

crunchbase.com

bing.com/businessportal

getlisted.org and many more

And yes, you can submit your business (offline/online) in any of these directories but you should prefer only domain related directories, as you would get better results from there.

Page Rank really doesn't matter as long as the website/directory is authentic, relevant and is of high quality.

As far as the advantages are concerned so you get good referral traffic, in some cases back link as well, it also helps you to get some good reviews as most of such directories provide their customers/visitors with a functionality to vote or review any business which they have used or like. So you build a positive image among the customers and in the eyes of search engines as well.

Go to Google Keyword tool:

enter your keyword

change country to from US to UK as US will be selected by default

change the match type from Broad to exact from top right navigation

now you can check the global search volume and local (UK only) search volume.

Though, this is not the exact search volume, in-fact no tool on this planet earth can tell you the exact no, but the no which you would get would be very close to the exact search volume.

The no, which I can see is

1,900 - for desktop and laptop devices480   - All Mobile DevicesSo the total is - ~2380 (approx.)

Hope it answers your query properly.

One more thing, I missed. Internal linking, make sure each of the page is linked with some text link. But avoid over linking. don't try to link all the pages from home page. Generally we links all the categories, pages from footer or site-wide links

Okay, lets do it step by step.

First, if it's a product website, create a separate feed for products and submit the sitemap with Google.

if not, that may you would have separate news/articles/videos sections, create separate xml sitemap for each section and submit with Google

If not, make sure to have only search engine friendly URLs, who says rewriting 200,000+ pages is costly, compare this cost with the business you'll loose when all your products would be listed in Google. So, make sure to rewrite all the dynamic URLs, if you feel that Google might face problem in crawling your website's URLs

Second, study webmaster tool's data very carefully for warnings, errors, so that you can figure out the issues which Google might have been facing while visits your websites.

Avoid duplicate entries of products, generally we don't pay attention to these things, and show same products on different pages in different categories. Google will filter all those duplicate pages, and can even penalize your website because of the duplicate content issue.

Third, keep promoting, but avoid grey/black hat techniques, there is no shortcut to the success. you'll have to spend time and money.

Well, the answer is quite simple. SEOMoz expects you to provide the full details while asking any question. so that people who are answering your question won't any ambiguity. and they could understand your problem properly.

Though, in a few cases only one liner is sufficient but still, majority of queries need some details to get answered.

Apart from that, SEOMoz has also imposed this restriction to avoid spam. and it's for our benefit only, SEOMoz doesn't get anything out of it.

Hope I was able to answer your query properly.
