Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Martin,

It can also be a .gif image ore some words in your post causing that.

Hi Amosnet,
I would suggest to write a blog post maybe u also find some semantic other Keywords around your main keyword for this new post - then u can also put this as tags - that can help

Harry

Hi Nikos, if this are sub domains it will not hurt your main side -
sub domains a treated separately.

Hi Kimberly, if its quality content I don't see any problem in that.

Hey Nikos,First of all I advice you that selection of keywords are important before starting any off page activity,It depends on the level of competition of the keywords that you are using. But generally, you have to consider some critical things in making your keywords ranked such as how you will properly target it, how consistent your work is, etc.

After selection pf proper keywords then start all the off page activities:

1. Directory Submission.(Same niche directories)

2.Blog Commenting.(On same niche blog)

3.Back link building .(On same niche )

Low search volume means there are not enough searches on that keyword for Google to serve search traffic for your ads. You may sometimes see a few impressions but most of the time a keyword with that label is inactive for search.

In Google trends, the term Search Volume Index is used. (http://www.google.com/trends?q=c...) look at chart.

First of all David you have to check the content that you had copied. It has been checked through various duplicate content checker tool & see the result. If the result is more than 20% then change the content because it affects your site as far as SEO is concerned.

I'm sending you a link  which solves the duplicate content & also contains the duplicate content checker tool.

Hi Serge, I came to know about the "robots_ssl.txt" from the website  http://www.seoworkers.com/seo-articles-tutorials/robots-and-https.html

Hi Marketing Results, As we know that Search Engines measure the importance of a page's subject matter in part, by its proximity to the Homepage. Oftentimes content kept in directories that are more than 3 directories deep are considered of low value and will have difficulty ranking well for their topic.

From the SEO point of view it makes an impact . To see how it creates an impact please refer to this link:

Hi David, First of all I want to tell you about the copying an extract of the article, content from other websites  and using the same content to your own website,this means that it is a breach of copyright. You can only copy material if you have the explicit consent of the originator, or those who own the rights to the material.

Just provided a link back to the originators site doesn't compensate them for the hard work and effort that they put into their work. Some people are cool to share their work.

If you really like something email the author and ask for permission. If you do not want to email the author then write up your opinion about the content and link to it. You can quote them but it should not be the majority of your post.

For more information please refer to this link:

Hello Xee, First of all I would like to tell you about the report that I had analyzed for you for which the keywords are 'chicago bears forum' & 'chicago bears news'. As I had checked the competition on both the keywords that is mentioned below.

Keywords                          Competition                  GlobalSearches                LocalSearches

chicago bears forum          low                                1900                                      1600

chicago bears news           low                                 9900                                      8100

The above report shows that both the keywords are having the low competition. Global searches means that are searches all over the world & local searches means that they are include only chicago city.

I think you should continue with the 'chicago bears forum' keyword only because it has low global & local search volume that helps you to increase the traffic to your forum.

Hello Hawkvt1, Fisrt of all I want to tell you that  the protocols (http/https) are different, they are considered two separate sites, so there’s a good chance to get penalized for duplicate content. If the search engine discovers two identical pages, generally it would take the page it saw first and ignore the other pages.The solutions are described below:

S__olutions:

1. Be smart about the site structure:  to keep the engines from crawling and indexing HTTPS pages, structure the website so that HTTPs are only accessible through a form submission (log-in, sign-up, or payment pages). The common mistake is making these pages available via a standard link (happens when you are either ignorant or  not aware that the secure version of the site is being crawled and indexed).
2. Use Robots.txt file to control which pages will be crawled and indexed
3. Use.htaccess file. Here’s how to do this:
4. Create a file names robots_ssl.txt in your root.
5. Add the following code to your .htaccessRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443 [NC]RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robots_ssl.txt [L]
6. Remove yourdomain.com:443 from the webmaster tools if the pages have already been crawled
7. For dynamic pages like php, try< ?phpif ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == 443){echo “< meta name=” robots ” content=” noindex,nofollow ” > “;}?>
8. Dramatic solution (may not always be possible): 301 redirect the HTTPS pages to the HTTP pages – with hopes that the link juice will transfer over.

I'm sure that your problem is solved.

Hi TS pike1, I would not suggest that - because if u are pointing the other Domains to the related content on your "original website page" u will end up having duplicate content 4 that page!

I suggest to setup your other domains like www.leatherrmenschoes.com and rely target on this page (put relevant content!!)  - then u can put some links to your main page - or even if this other domain is getting strong you could redirect it later 301 to your man project! Harry t.

Hi Marisa,

If u want send me a mail put in your 5 hardest competitors and I will send u most of there backlinks unsing our Linkreserch tool

Hi Nikos, I would like to tell you about the blog commenting.Blog commenting in fact is a nice way to build traffic to your site, if you do it extensively and in the right manner with lot of focus. But what we see typically are not focused attempts, rather quick jobs where they plug in the primary keyword and write something random irrelevant to the website content. This is not blog commenting, but blog spamming.

For more information about blog commenting please refer to this website.
