Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David! Did Dan's answer help? Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you work this out.

I can definitely get behind our Moz Local partners. They are:

• Infogroup
• Acxiom
• Localeze
• Factual
• Foursquare
• Superpages
• Best of the Web
• Bing
• Citysearch
• Insiderpages

Otherwise, I can say from my agency days that when they look sketchy, they generally are.

Hi Andrew! How is this going? We'd love an update!

Hi Ruben,

To be honest, our Perks program is suspended. We're no longer accepting new ones, and we're only willing to update the ones we have. I'm afraid that, as we don't currently have a Perk from BotW, this is really more a question for them.

I'm so sorry I can't be of more help!

Hi Paul! It sounds like ThompsonPaul has answered your question. Are you all set, or can we be of more help?

Hi Jonathan,

I can't say I'm very familiar with those particular companies, but generally affiliate marketing is promoting someone else's products or services in exchange for a commission, and remarketing is the practice of serving ads to people who've already visited your site, bought a product from you, etc. It's why ads for certain products can seem to follow you around the internet.

Hi Paul! If ThompsonPaul answered your question, would you mind marking his reply as a "Good Answer?" It helps us keep track of things, and it'll give him some bonus MozPoints.

Hi 94501! Did Gaston answer you question, and if so, would you mind marking his response a "Good Answer?"

Otherwise, how else can we help?

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

You know, what—I looked into this a bit more, and you actually might be right about what caused this. Let me get you some more help.

I sincerely doubt it's a strategic choice not to have one, though.

Well, less a reason than an explanation. To be honest, I have no idea why they didn't use meta description when first establishing the site. It stands to reason, though, that by this point they don't have much incentive to add it.

Personally, I'd suggest giving Moz's own Keyword Explorer a try.

I'm actually seeing some in their source, notably meta charset and <title>. You're right that there's no meta description, for example, which is interesting, but they don't exactly need it. ;)</p></title>

Hi nick-name123! If Tymen has answered your question, mind marking his response as a "Good Answer" (in the lower right corner of the response)? It helps us keep track of things, and it'll give him a few bonus MozPoints.

In addition to the Beginner's Guide to SEO, I'd also suggest reading through the Beginner's Guide to Link Building. Especially if you're looking for information on off-site.

Hi MissThumann! If Nicolas answered your question, mind marking his response a "Good Answer?" The button is in the lower-right of his response. It'll reward him with a few MozPoints, and it's helpful for us, too.

Hi Leszek!

To answer your question directly—no, having the exact match keyword in the domain name will not, on its own, result in a first-page ranking. It certainly doesn't hurt (unless it's part of a pattern of spammy keyword stuffing), but the impact it will have is vanishingly small.

That strikes me as a pretty massive change in rankings for a simple on-page change. Even a site-wide one, like that. Have you run any analysis on your competitors to see if anything they did might be to blame?

Hi Joycee_psp! Any chance you can provide a bit more information on just what you're seeing?

Thanks!
