Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

We have build a lot of external link to http://www.oursite.com/ Do I have to do a 301 redirect from http://www.oursite.com/index.php to http://www.outsite.com/?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your update and I followed the link and login to double check again. In the individual location there is still no option on the Goolge+ page. It rather generates a google+ page for me when I create a new location.

I think it doesn't allow us to connect location to an existing google+ page because these are locations not business?

Hope someone could get me some insight if possible.

We operate SEO purely on whitehat and for a popular keyword that we have worked hard for years now we ranks 10th. I have compared us with a few competitors who rank better (ranked 1st and 3rd) on OSE and found things confusing. In the following matrix we are way ahead of them in:

Domain Authority
Page Authority
Just-Discovered     
root domain
total links
Social like/Social shares

All score of above of our site are substantially higher than the competitors. one of the competitors has only one thing better than us:
Internal Equity-Passing Links

plus

It shows that both competitors have lots of low quality links as follow

-forum signature anchor text links where the account no contribution to the forum
-low authority directories links where many of them are overseas and not industry specific
-links from article sites
-link from sites that are in totally different industries

where we only have very a few or no from above

I am thinking if the matrix figures from OSE dont count then what else I should be looking at. Any advice? please forgive me if I chose the wrong support question type.

Hi,

I have the same issue looks like there isn't an option to connect a location to a specific g+ account. I'll update once I've got more info.

Thanks I see, do those link shave any seo value?

Hi,

recently we got some editorial links on some of the articles from a few online journals and I've noticed anchor links all have these similar property within the <a>:</a> Mysite

What does the skimlinks-unlinked and data-skimwords-word means? Are these normal organic links and valuable?

Hi,

Anyone still using guest blog tatics (sush as http://myblogguest.com/) as an effort on seo? Is that still a valid option nowadays.

Thanks

Hi,

Our blog currently is hosted at wordpress.com and we are planning to move it under mysite.com/blog. I've noticed that at the moment in the existing individual articles there are social likes for the reader to likes/follow the page. And we do have some likes from these social buttons

e.g. in a particular article I receive 4 twitter likes/5 facebook likes from those social media buttons after the article body.

After moving the blog would the articles lose the social likes? How would I manage it not to? I know that there is a wordpress plugin available to purchase: http://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/redirect/

If I purchase it would it resolve my problem? Please help

Thanks!

Hi,

I am going to move my blog hosted on wordpress.com to a folder under mysite.com. (e.g. mysite.com/blog/). I start to think after the blog has gone live there will be duplicated content issue because I am going to import my posts in last 2 years onto the new location.

I what way can I avoid that happen? Can I set something up (e.g. 301 redirect) in my current wordpress.com account? Any advice.

Please help!

Thanks

I have an e-commerce website and a separated blog hosted on different domains.

I post an article on my blog domain weekly. And I copy the 1st paragraph (sometimes only part of it when it's too long) of the article to my home page and a sub-catalog page. And then append it by anchor text "...more" which linked to the article.

1. Is that digest (1st paragraph) on my e-commerce site deemed as duplicated content by Google? Any suggestion?

2. In the future if I move the blog under the e-commerce website would it make any different with regards to this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for letting me know. Would stop it immediately. The reason I am asking is that the way the system shares it make it suspicious.

Does that concept really work. Any experience? I've registered and so far I think it's hard to measure whether the shares are spam or genuine.

Would love to see it works for someoneThanks

I think I get your point which I did not realise before Thanks

so this is what I understand:

[good content] + [wrong site/wrong place] = bad/low value link => not good seo effort.

to be honestly the important reason I wrote the article is to get someone to read it then possibily they would share it with others and have the readers to realise our expertise. and hoping them click thru to our site. Getting back link came second...

If I post the article to my own blog rather than squidoo does it make any different? At the beginning I thought squidoo can make bigger effect

So articles sites wont work in general is that right? And Am I right in thinking that by seeing it's not appearing in report of Google webmaster tool?

On the other hand How do they decide if an article 'deserve a place on a website.' Lots of share/likes?If that's the case should I wait until many people share/like the article before it apear in the report of Google webmaster tool? At that point would I be comfortable to say they become good links?

I believe The article I wrote is useful to the user on that topic/area though.

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

I have written a few articles and uploaded to squidoo/hubpage last month and they have been accepted and I can see the links in the articles. But they dont appear in the latest link report from Google Webmaster Tools.

Is it because it's delay or Google simply wont treat them as valid links?

Thanks

I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was:

when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it.

how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely.

On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks  would this still be a successful article marketing?

How about have some of those linksbecome nofollow, would that help Can someone confirm this?

I will try the approaches you guys mentioned. But I've got another question as I want to measure how successful my effort:

Thanks for your response and it's inspiring. Looks like it's not straight forward but I will try it

I have been using mybloguest.com and the articles were published by its blogs/websites.

So far the traffics/share/likes from those blog posts they published are very few/small.

I believe the blog post are very useful and unique. How can I promote them so that I get more social likes/share? Any idea?

Thanks
