Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ok, here is document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YGkY2Yz1RefwcG4nqJ1lbnEfTghn7pRtb9di2HICiaA/edit?usp=sharing
captured before hour.
I leave it as-is just extract username but later make regex to extract their posts and ugc posts.

This is Top 4291 as far as i see.

Here is procedure how to get it:

1. wget https://moz.com/community/users  - i love *nix command line tools but you can use web browser and save as HTML.
2. Open HTML for editing.
3. Find "  var top_users =" and delete everything BEFORE it. Now document should start as "[[1,"
4. Find "]];" and delete semicolon and everything AFTER it. Now documents should end with "]]"
5. As you can see we have well formated JSON. Bad news - i can't import it in Sheets due bug in =ImportJSON function.
6. Let's go in PlanB - https://json-csv.com/
7. Copy all JSON into clipboard
8. Paste it on json-csv.com
9. Push button, get CSV
10. Import CSV into Google Docs
11. Enjoy!

Just use some of mine formulas to extract number of posts or UGC. I can make formula for extracting username too.

No, you need to reupload disavow file for HTTPS site:

This is pretty awesome! And i like it!

Would you like to extend this in Jan 31 this year for all members that we can see? I can make importer of their table to XML so later we can use =ImportXML. And one bad news "Only members who have logged in within the last 60 days and have 25 or more MozPoints will be shown." So there can be other "top valued" members but we can't see it because this limitation.

And also special users like "ghost in the shell" -> https://moz.com/community/users/2380

XML sitemap is well defined here:
http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html

But i can quickly resume:

• limitation up to 50000 URLs and up to 50MB as file. If you need more you can split them as sitemap index with several sitemaps.
• sitemap index are up to 50000 sitemaps and up to 10MB as file.
• lastmod, priority and change frequency didn't play HUGE role anymore: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-lastmod-xml-sitemap-20579.html https://www.seroundtable.com/google-priority-change-frequency-xml-sitemap-20273.html but just keep them to be fully formatted.
• sitemaps can be compressed (gzip)
• sitemap must be UTF-8 encoded but beware of entities - Ampersand, Single Quote, Double Quote, Greater Than, Less Than. You must replace them with % char codes.
• you can put sitemap location in robots.txt. You can place there also few sitemaps. Sitemaps can be located on 3rd party servers too.

I think that this is most important in XML sitemaps.

Yes - backlinks and their anchors are also factor for ranking. For example there are few Google Bombs -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb where many sites give backlink to other site for specific anchors and this make "victim" site N:1 for this keywords.

So - you can evaluate backlinks and their anchors with many tools:

• Moz OpenSiteExplorer
• Majestic
• Ahrefs
• WebMeUp

So far from all tools OSE is free, all other require monthly subscription. This make OSE N:1 in this list. OSE also provide "Link Opportunity".

I think that A1 Sitemap Generator support this function.

If you just will display icons then it's OK. But it's dangerous to display text with display: none:

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hiding-content-17136.html
https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hidden-tab-content-seo-19489.html

Because hiding text give "less weight" and you may get into trouble.

Long story short - YES. Any JS framework can impact your ranking.

I share again here link on Distilled how they using custom service to providing pure HTML version of site to bots only:
https://www.distilled.net/resources/prerender-and-you-a-case-study-in-ajax-crawlability/
And seems that experiment works very well on them.

I go in KeywordPlanner with same keyword and here are results that he show me. You can find them in link below.

So seems that SEMRush shows whole ad group sum for impressions. And you go in group and look only for specific keyword.

TL;DR - It dependents.

Main answer is - how you get traffic? If this is traditional way - "write great content and they will follow" this also bring comments. And comments create new content with new traffic. Because Google/Bing/Yahoo can index content and comments too. Moz uses this way in their blog section for example. This is organic way.

But in new way - comments in social networks bring traffic. Because more people seeing that person comment/share/like something and they do "curiosity driven research" what is this content. But this bring only social network traffic since not all of Facebook comments can be indexed from search machines. This is social way.

This is theory about traffic and i describe only two of them (they're much many but i simplify little bit things). Now turning things into practical. Disqus can have some issues with crawling comments from Google. This is well known and described many times: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/762307-why-isn-t-google-indexing-my-comments-
Facebook comments can't be indexed at all too from Google. There are some articles from 2011 that they can but i can't find working example.

That's why it's best if you can check - are your existing comments indexed? If they are you can leave both commenting systems. It's much better. If they wasn't indexed you can switch to Facebook commenting system. Also check on other site can you find some Facebook comment in Google.

And one suggestion "Don't Build Your House on Rented Land". If you can use your own commenting system this will be much better. Just like Moz.

Well on mine first answer there is number for 54M population of hispanic/latin in US. But you can't know how many of them do searches in english or in spanish?

I can talk about Bulgarians. Even if they migrate to other country they still talk in Bulgarian in home, watch Bulgarian TV, read online Bulgarian newspapers, purchases Bulgarian goods. And more interesting - they still search in Bulgarian. Example - even if google.co.uk you can get Bulgarian searches and results. Real case - a friend of mine own TV repair service center and get phone call from London about TV repair. Just lady's there want to find someone to fix his mother TV. Funny - distance between service center and home was almost 100-200 meters.

You don't know what you don't know...

This isn't answer but you need to read that articles:
https://moz.com/blog/pruning-your-ecommerce-site
https://moz.com/blog/15-seo-best-practices-for-structuring-urls
http://www.stateofdigital.com/optimising-urls-seo-ux/

And reading that could increase internal debates about your information architecture of site or silo structure.

Well - true. This is true forecasting w/o market evaluation.

For example - your site can be for local business. Can Latin America visit it? No, but local hispanic or latin residents can visit it.
Or you can sell something expensive - RollsRoyces, Teslas, or Elon Musk's Rockets. Can latin america audience interested about this? Probably.
Or you can share them Taco's recipes - YES! They will be interested.

There is special market evaluation reports but this report will take months and will be expensive. It's more accurate, but it's also shoot in the dark.

One thing that definitely will happen - your traffic will rise. You can evaluate using KeywordPlanner and special keywords on Spanish how is monthly searches of them. It's easy - go in search console and grab your best keywords for searches. Like Top100 of them. Translate them to Spanish and then go in KWP paste them and watch monthly searches about them. You also can compare English KW vs. Spanish KW as difference.

I believe that noone can give you answer. But let's try!

US population is 318.9 million (2014). UK population is 64.1 million (2013). This make very rough 383 million.
Hispanic or latino population in US is approx 54M. http://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/populations/REMP/hispanic.html

Now let's count all spanish talking in the world. This is Spain + whole South/Latin America except Brazil (they talk in Portuguese). Latin America is 626M (2015 est.), Brazil is 200M (2013) and Spain is 46.77M (2014). So rough calculation there will be 472.77M.

As you can see with this translation you can effective double your potential audience. As you can see i talk about "potential audience" because there are many things can goes wrong. But maybe in long term (this is shoot in the dark!) this can double (or even more) your traffic in best scenario. Or (again shoot in the dark) this can bring you 15% increase (US-hispanic+UK/US+UK population). Of course both are very rough assumptions.

Well including sitemap in robots.txt is good praticle but isn't required. You can add sitemap in SearchConsole (or Bing WMT) and bots will index site again. Even bots can index site w/o sitemap but sitemap helps them.

That's why don't worry. You can edit your robots.txt at anytime and add sitemap if it's possible.

Well if both sitemaps are for same site then it's OK. But it's much better to implement hreflang as this is explained here:https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2620865?hl=en

I'm not sure that Magento can do this but you always can hire 3rd party dev for building plugin/module for this.

Rebuilding in Angular will effective nuke all search visibility of this site. I'm not kidding. You can see similar question here:
https://moz.com/community/q/index-problem

and answers there. Just open site in this question and see it's source (not DOM! Just HTML source that bot get). And you also will be shocked.

PS: I'm not saying that site with Angular can't rank and index. But it's relative harder comparing with pure HTML site.

You can also have multiple sitemaps on 3rd sites. Look at Moz robots.txt:
Sitemap: https://moz.com/blog-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://moz.com/ugc-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://moz.com/profiles-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://d2eeipcrcdle6.cloudfront.net/past-videos.xml
Sitemap: http://app.wistia.com/sitemaps/36357.xml

Also Google.com robots.txt:
Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/culturalinstitute/sitemaps/www_google_com_culturalinstitute/sitemap-index.xml
Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/sitemaps/sitemap_index.xml
Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/earth/gallery/sitemaps/sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/profiles-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/trends/websites/sitemaps/sitemapindex.xml
Sitemap: https://www.google.com/sitemap.xml

Also Bing.com robots.txt:
Sitemap: http://cn.bing.com/dict/sitemap-index.xml
Sitemap: http://www.bing.com/offers/sitemap.xml

So using multiple sitemaps it's OK and they can be also hosted on 3rd party server.

Merging all domains under one will be best for you and your client. Here is proof:
https://moz.com/blog/2-become-1-merging-two-domains-made-us-an-seo-killing

But isn't just consolidation, you need to make silo structure, content changes, redirects and many other internal changes.

Can be also CDN issue. But w/o example we only can guess...
