Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there,

I think is a lot more serious than using the Disavow tool. They have an exact duplicate copy of your website. This is a major concern.

You need to file a DMCA takedown request.

It's also worth reading this - http://support.google.com/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1386831

You can contact Google - dmca-agent@google.com

I would suggest you make this a priority.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Hi Amreen,

When was the link added to the Yahoo Directory?

No problem Nadejda, I'm glad to help

Hi Nadejda,

Do you mean your content has been stolen? Sorry, I may be misunderstanding you.

My post from another thread -

If you wish to remove poor quality backlinks -

Use tools such as Ahrefs, OpenSiteExplorer, MajesticSEO and Google Webmaster Tools to identify the poor quality backlinks.

• Contact the relevant website with a suitable email and request the link be removed
• If no response after a week or two, try them again with another email, or via Twitter, Facebook etc
• If every attempt has failed to contact them, still note it down in a spreadsheet for future reference.
• Then, consider using the Disavow tool from Google but **only **if all other methods of contacting these sites fail.
• Unless you have a warning within Webmaster Tools about unnatural links, you won't need to do a re-consideration request. And even then, be cautious. A reconsideration request puts Google's target directly on you.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Hi Barnabas,

I respect your opinion but what I've found with many SEO tools in the industry is that you could pay $99 for just one tool per months. SEOmoz has a vast toolset at your disposal, along with this community forum and the ability to ask a private question directly to the staff here.

The cheaper PRO package (which I'm also on) is for people to utilize the tools for a small/medium site or just smaller projects in general.

What you're asking for with logos is more of a bespoke service so the cost would typically be higher.

That's not just for Moz but for the industry in general.

Hi Barnabas,

In the help section it states -

How do I add my logo or get white labeled reports?
If you have our PRO Plus or PRO Elite, you can upload a logo from your campaign settings page. This will add your logo to the top of PDF reports downloaded from the web app. This is a great way to show off our excellent data with your awesome branding. Enjoy!

Standard PRO accounts don't have this feature.

I hope this helps,

Mark

If you don't wish to share your clients site URL publicly, mind dropping me a PM?

I'd be quite interested to take a look for you.

Hi Doug,

Great points.

These links were never manually built by us. To-date, we haven't done any form of link building. Any links which point to our site have occurred naturally.

In the case of this website linking to us, they are scraping content  to inform users of their site about price drops in the property sector.

All of the links they have are pointing to individual property pages on our site.

To me it seems like they're just using the meta-descriptions as anchor text.

Hi guys,

I know this is an easy question and I'm already quite sure of the answer for it but it would be good to get some other views.

This website - http://www.collapso.net/ have 261,923 backlinks to our website according to Ahrefs.

They have 1000's of pages like this - http://www.collapso.net/countiesnew/Cork.html which link to our site.

43.95% of the backlinks to our site are from these guys but we've been fortunate enough to never receive any warnings via WMT or ever experienced drop offs in traffic.

My question is - Do we have this site remove all the links to our site or leave them alone?

Given there's such a large quantity of links, I'm not exactly sure what the impact would be on us.

My instinct says get rid of them. Although part of me questions what such a massive drop in our link profile would look like to Google.

Hi JSOC,

It's not something I've experienced. Do you mind sharing the URL to the website so I can take a look?

Cheers,

Mark

Recently, I posted my first private question.

Through no ones fault but my own, it was a very broad question which really can't blame the confusion on the person who responded. I really need to follow up on it.

My Advice Chris is to be specific and keep the question focused on a given topic.

It may take some time to get a response so keep in mind that the question shouldn't be time sensitive and that it's something you can hold out on for someone to look at.

It's a great feature though. I'm sure I'll find it worth the $99 alone.

A great SEO Audit guide which I would recommend you follow - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit

When you search for the keywords on Google, are you logged in? Are you checking in private browsing/incognito window (Chrome)?

Has your keyword tracking on Moz campaign been set to check the same region? e.g. .co.uk/.com etc

I think we need a little bit more information Benny?

Hi there,

You can use SEO Tools for excel -

It will then pull in the social share data for each URL.

Hope this helps!

Meta-Keywords have no impact on ranking though.

Kathy, you will need to add more content to the pages that are public. Focus on the specific keywords you wish to rank for and improve the on-page SEO for these terms.

Also, from what I can see, there are no backlinks pointing to the site. You should focus on attracting links from high authority websites within the sector.

Agreed - A full audit covering SEO related issues and usability is required.

I do feel that focusing on SEO when there are much more glaring issues would be a pointless exercise.

Generating traffic to a website is not an effective use of time when the landing page isn't optimized for conversions.

I would suggest hiring a graphic designer for some freelance work and working with someone on a full audit to prioritize the biggest issues.

I'd be surprised if the site is generating quite a large volume of sales as it stands. It just doesn't convey trust and reliability from my perspective.

To be honest, the homepage is a bit of a mess. I know you rather not hear it but, your site needs a lot of work.

Visually it's quite off-putting and the very large section of text you have on the homepage is stuffed full of keywords.

This is how Google sees this page -

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TOKOKtpzdCgJ:monsterbins.com/&hl=en&gl=ie&prmd=imvns&strip=1

'Monster Bins' is bolded and used over 10 times.

It's not clear what payment method your website accepts and to be quite honest, I would be very hesitant to make a sale on there.

Hi there,

One of the biggest issues for you right now is the domain name unfortunately -

Exact match domains have been hit pretty hard. When did you notice the large drop in rankings?
