Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The time's weird stuff like this occurs for me, is usually when Cloudflare causes issues with it's caching. Naturally, that would be too quick of a solution for my luck, I'm guessing you don't have Cloudflare. In that case, more than likely it's going to be an issue with a plugin clashing with Divi.

Thank you very much! I'll apply the canonical tag to the PPC pages and leave them to stay indexed. They do rank organically for a few keywords and gets leads, so I don't want to lose that. Is the Canonical URL just the "SEO" state page URL that I'm optimizing and want it to point too?

Hi Kevin! What a great tool, thank you! I've bookmarked the transparency report website and will read the guide on the disavow tool. I appreciate it!

Hi Lindsay. I personally use the notes add-on. The design of notes is better than standard posts. They offer more features. Some drawbacks however: They cannot be read on smartphones. More than 50% of your traffic cannot access it You need to prepare your draft on a text editor and then publish it on facebook. Don't try using the "save and publish later" feature, this one doesn't work.

I can completely see where your coming from and agree! Thank you!

Using your old content on other sites and generating backlinks from it is certainly a good strategy. If your not using it on your main site and can use it on relevant industry sites and generate backlinks, then that sounds like a winner to me.

Try to schedule your content plan. I'm doing the content marketing for the blog of golf wedges reviews and I have made the content planning for it.

There's no single API that does all of this but you can chain a couple of them together to get what you want. As Tawny pointed out, it's a technical task and you may need the help of a web developer. As you have access to SEMRush, you can use their "organic results" API call which, given the keyword you're interested in, will return the top ranking URLs. You can see the documentation specific to that call here. So that gets you from your starting point (being interested in a query) to having the top URLs. You can limit the number of rows returned by the SEMRush API—sounds like you'd only want the first 10 rows (i.e. the top 10 results for the keyword). Now taking that list you can send it to the Moz API's UrlMetrics call. This will give you back DA, PA, Trust Flow, and so on, for each URL. Neither tool will tell you the word count. If you need to calculate that, you'll have to crawl the pages somehow. It depends whether you really need to completely automate everything. If "semi-automation" is good enough, I'd suggest that your script, after fetching the top ranking URLs from SEMRush, writes them out to a CSV as well. Then you can use Screaming Frog in list mode to crawl all of the URLs listed in the CSV. So everything would be automated except for gathering the word counts. You'd have to stitch together the results from your Screaming Frog crawl with the data you had back from Moz. If everything must be automated, and you really need word count or other on-page information, your script will also need to crawl the pages. And for this you'll certainly need a developer familiar with technologies like Selenium, for crawling and scraping web pages. In almost all use cases, that's overkill, so I'd suggest focussing on the SEMRush and Moz APIs for now.

Absolutely agree! Thank you!

Google is showing "Knowledge Base" for your site because it has recognized breadcrumbs on your website. The competitors whose longer links are showing up don't use breadcrumbs, so Google has no structured data on what category it's in. There isn't a setting to toggle "show breadcrumbs" or "show full URLs" - if you use breadcrumbs that Google recognizes, it will automatically display them in SERPs. Breadcrumbs typically improve your sitewide SEO and also can give visitors a clue about what type of page they're visiting, so if you choose your categories and breadcrumbs wisely, I think it can improve the user experience. I definitely wouldn't remove the breadcrumbs from the website just so the SERPs will show longer URLs.

Thank you!!!! I've printed up your responses and applying your suggestions to my 2018 strategy. I've been using similar methods but this really breaks it down and gives me what I need to make an actual organized game plan going forward.

I've spent the entire morning researching and editing our Schema code on an FAQ page. Does this look right regarding the breadcrumb Schema? There's two... the first one our developer put in the functions.php file so it goes across all our FAQ pages and the second one I added manually so that it breaks down each question & answer. https://www.medicarefaq.com/faqs/when-can-i-buy-a-medicare-supplement-plan/ https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.medicarefaq.com%2Ffaqs%2Fwhen-can-i-buy-a-medicare-supplement-plan%2F

Thank you for your responses! The QS did not decrease. Our hosting support said we had a setting wrong on their end that they had to correct. It was causing the website to go down due to being overloaded. Not sure if that would impact our CPC or not... does CPC go up if your site is having short outages? Or was that just a coincidence? I'm the SEO guru... the owner is the PPC guru.

Always is pleasure to help : )

Yes, that makes perfect sense! That's exactly what I was looking for. I will make the old content a draft and utilize it some place else. Thank you!

Hi Matlabi You need to start your own thread if you would like something answering. Regards Nigel
