Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

You're already quite lucky that most of the links are with the nofollow attribute. But as you've already uploaded the 'bad' links via the disavow tool I wouldn't worry to much about these links. I'm also of the opinion that Google is probably able to see that at least some percentage of these pages are a callback to the original sources and will not be measured that high.

Cheers,

Hi Tauri,

These people could get some hints that you're using their email addresses for your Facebook ads as it seems otherwise highly unlikely that you're able to target them so directly (besides the fact that you could use FBX partners for retargeting).
I would suggest including this within the terms of service of privacy agreement you have with your customers that you're able to target them on Facebook by using their email addresses.

Hope this helps!

It's absolutely possible to exclude converted visitors from remarketing in Google Adwords. We do it every day, it would be the best to connect your Google Analytics account to your Google Adwords account. By doing this it will make it possible to use your segments as remarketing lists. This will make it possible to create a segment for converted visitors and use it as an audience within targeting to exclude them.

Hi Miarisoa,

This is probably caused by the fact that Roger Mozbot wasn't able to crawl your complete Web site and so didn't find all your internal links. As example I Googled your site and found this URL on page 17 on Google. When you enter this within OSE you directly see there is no data for the URL. As you can see here.

Hope this helps!

Hi Miranda,

Absolutely, the stars/ votes are part of the different rich snippets from Google. They got a couple of different snippet styles, which could be found here and here. If you would like to have the stars/ votes yourself you'll have to provide Google with the data by using, for example: Schema.org or hReview.

Hopefully this answers your question.

Hi Ceran,

Yes you should be aware of a couple of things, for example you need to give the right status codes while you're down. You could do this with a status code 503 which is used mostly for handling maintenance on your server. Yoast wrote a pretty good article about handling site maintenance and how to be aware of SEO while doing this. The article could be found here. I mostly liked his pro tip about the robots.txt.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Definitely: domain.com/directory/1. As using an anchor won't help for SEO as crawlers won't follow the link.

It is definitely the issue that you load the Google Analytics tracking code with a Javascript file which is causing you issues to connect Google Webmaster Tools with your GA account as the checker only checks the code and is not loading the external javascript files.

Btw, this would not hurt your normal data collection but only prevents you from connecting the two accounts.

Hi,

Not sure if you have seen the list of recommended companies here on Moz, if you filter them down on PPC you should be able to find a couple of companies that should fit your needs: http://moz.com/community/recommended#ppc

Hi Mark,

Within you Crawl Diagnostics you're able to export your data to CSV (on the topright side of the overview). By doing this you can find the links to the page you think is incorrect.

Hope this helps!

Hi Gautam,

Good questions, it really hard to say what Google determines as duplicate content so this will just be my hunch on your issue. As I have experienced Google won't 'penalize' you as you're the owner of the content and you can't be the victim of other people stealing or copying your content. Also if you have provided these sites with your content. Mostly because you're often not in charge of the content management on somebodies elses site.

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi Allan,

They're several options which could provide  you with a possible solution. But of course I can't guarantee that any of these options will actually solve your problem.

1. Rel="alternate" v.s. href lang: these tags will tell Google on which pages the relevant pages in that language can be found.
2. Google Webmaster Tools geotargeting: with the geotargeting you're able to target your sub domain on a specific country.

I would give both a try and hopefully you can drop a comment here in a couple of weeks with hopefully positive progress.

Of course it would be possible, but how do you see it as an advantage to the shop? The products don't have an author, right? So that would result in not using authorship for attributing post content to an author.

I'm having the same issue with all my (personal) accounts. It also got on the radar of Search Engine Roundtable: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-webmaster-tools-delay-17438.html

Hi Bas,

You've looked into the JavaScript errors via the console? The first thing I see is that ga() is not initialized in there which could cause a lof of tracking issues.

Hi Eduardo,

Yepm, like expected. The first sitemap you mentioned is an sitemap index file. But the http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml is also a sitemap index. Within the Google policies that's not possible. You should directly include the sitemaps of your http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml file in your first and only sitemap index file.

A couple of weeks ago they launched their version for Nginx servers. Unfortunately I couldn't use it as you still have to set it up before you set up Nginx yourself and that was already done. However when looking at the features it involves it should really increase the speed of your site as it takes care of a lot of things.

Hi Sameer,

A manifest file is an overview of the files you're using for your app in the Chrome Web Store. If it's missing Google is not capable of knowing where to find all the files and how to use them for your app. You should include such a file in the root folder of your app as this error says. More information about the manifest files could be found here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest.html

Hi,

Well, what happened with: innocent until proven guilty ;). Because what could have happened here:

• Open Site Explorer found more links in their niche/industry so they just found more links in there area.
• They have started a partnership with a site that is linking to them from hundreds of thousands of pages. Have been there done that and then usually this happens. It's Links, not referring root domains what we're looking at in the end.

Some ideas to identify if this is really the more black hat kind of stuff, identify patterns:

• Look at their changes in follow/nofollow links so you get some sense if there links are bought or not.
• Look at what kind of anchor texts they're using. If the majority of links is still with their brand name anchor text then they might have done link buying or whatever crappy tactic but at least not focused on a certain keyword. If they're dumb they did it for specific keywords they want to rank for.
• Look at other competitors in their industry, do they see a similar trend.
• Have they done any other outreach/PR stunts in the past that suddenly got them tons of new links?

All of this might give you a better sense into if this is shitty black hat or that it's a valid tactic.

Hi,

Try this tool: http://autorelaxed.com , although I'm not really sure why you want to do this anyway.
