Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It is important not to stuff the keywords in the content but from this I usually mean not to add keywords where it doesn’t make sense. If I would be at your place I would have thought from the user point of view.

Will the user be fine if they see the range with a brand name? If yes, I probably would go for it but if not I have to think about the alternate solution.

Whenever you are stuck with this kind of stuff, think about your customers more than SEO or Google as your customers at the end of the day are going to help you grow.

Just a thought!

I wish I could tell you the exact reason but the way I see your traffic from external sources and link profile it seems like you have done some shady link building that got caught in the eye of Google. I will suggest you to check your website console to see if you get any notification of manual penalty from Google.

In order to fix this, you need to build good amount of quality links back to your problem, remove bad URL and improve your SPAM scree to 0 or 1 which at the moment is 5.

Also too many pop-up can be one of the reason why you got attacked. (not sure about the illegal music though!)

Hope this helps!

The URL you displayed as an example looks like in-page bookmarking and as far as my knowledge goes this does not make the content duplicated.

But as far as the canonicals are concern, adding a canonical URL on the website is better as it can save you from any unforeseen problems but as far as the problem you are mentioning is concern, I don’t think this will create a duplicate content within your website.

Hope this helps!

I am little confused here. Are you talking about ranking the app in app store or you has a website for an app that you are trying to ranking in search engines? OR you are trying to rank your app in search engines?

I would love if you can describe a little more and maybe I can be of your help.

Prabhu, based on the information you have provided I would say going with subdomains are going to hurt you. Because you are displaying the same content on two different URLs and the only change is a currency.

No matter if you are attacked by Panda, I will still go with the idea suggested by Oleg.

Hope this helps!

I think there is no right way of going about it. If you really think that you have been attacked by people who are building shady links back to your profile, you defiantly should update your disavow link more frequently to tell Google that these following links are not built by you and you don’t want these links to pass a link juice to your website.

If you have built some kind of links that you later realize are shady, then you should immediately update the link disavow file accordingly.

But you are building links as per the given guidelines, you see no abnormal behavior on traffic, rankings and links (OSE or Ahrefs.com can tell you that) in that case you don’t really need to update your disavow file from time to time.

Just a thought.

When you say short period of time, SEO is not the correct answer is most of the cases but I would highly recommend you looking in to growth strategies, social media and content promotions that help you get tons of subscribers.

Also, running some kind of competition around the game should also help!

Just a thought!

If you are looking for Moz recommended companies, I would say all of them are amazing and as you said you are in the limo business, In my opinion its not the business that need a consultant within your area. I would say try distilled or SEER Interactive, they have the kind of people in their companies who are experts of the game.

If you look in to the description, it says somewhere on the page he have used the brand name (if the description is coming from the page) which may be is one of the reason why he is appearing against the result.

If you really want to kick this result back to 2^nd or different pages, my idea is to create facebook, twitter, slideshare, about.me and different pages for your company (Active pages). As soon as Google will fine more relevant results the ranking for this result will go down and you first page atleast will be clean.

Just a thought!

Not really sure but I guess you have to use the API for this to make it working. Again I am not sure so the better idea is to ask their help team at help@moz.com

Hope this helps!

If you ask me you are doing everything right and you have to keep doing it. I remember when I was doing the same for one of my client, the rankings did improve but didn’t really hit the first page for many of the real money making keywords.

I think when your website went through Google penalty it took more than usual to gain the trust of Google. If I would be at your place, I would have looked in to the past data and see how every penguin and panda update affect my traffic and rankings.

If the ranking and traffic went positive (significantly) then you should continue what you are doing and wait for the penguin and panda update to release. This way they will look in to your efforts again and give you back the rankings that you deserve.

Also, my advice is to get a link from highest authority websites (if possible) that Google really trust, this should also help big time.

Adding my two cents!

nailed it!

I have worked quite a few website that were under the attack of penguin and while working on the disavow tool, I tell you working with article submission websites is not at all a good idea. I mean if you have a good blog, you can always hire an outreach person to get more eyeballs and links for your content but republishing on article submission website is not something I personally would recommend.

Instead, I would recommend reaching out to the right kind of audience and get some links back to the content, you can reuse the content as in if you have text content at the moment you can create infographic out of it and use it on several different website with a link back to your original content, you can try guest posting, broken link building and the other countless ideas but article submission is not one of them.

Just a thought!

If you don’t know how to play around with code, I will not recommend you doing it yourself but this is exactly how you can add video to your product page: https://github.com/iamandrebulatov/BC-Product-Page-Demo-Videos

My recommendation is to hire a developer who can get this job done for you!

Hope this helps!

Thanks Drik,

I have double check the accessibility of page to crawlers and bots and pages does have decent amount of internal and external links pointing to the page.

Thanks for the Google fetch idea, i am going to try it to see if it works and update you accordingly.

I made several changes on client's website on different pages, changed titles, add content on few pages, moved blog from subdomain to sub directory. Everything is crawled but there is one page on the website (not part of the blog) that isn't getting crawled in Google and picking up changes. The last crawl of the website is 2 days back whereas that page was last crawled on 30th sep.

I just wanted to know the possible reasons and has anyone encountered this before?

Awesome, I will answer to your question one by one and to the point.

1. Mozscape have a limited index which is defiantly not as big as Google’s index which is why Google webmaster might show you some more links that Mozscape is not tracking at the moment.
2. No matter if you redesigned your website completely the links will stay there. The only way to get rid of spammy links is to either contact them and remove them or update a link disavow file to Google and tell them you do not wish to receive a link juice from the following websites.
3. Links from your own domain. I am considering them as internal links and internal links are totally fine.

Hope this helps!

If experts are discussing about any tactics (that does not specify location) usually means it works for anyone regardless of location. I mean guest blogging is a tactics that allow referral traffic to your blog, no matter where you are geographically no matter what your niche is, strategy will work for you.

As far as Google+ is concern, I am one of the believers that Google+ was another fail from Google after Google Buzz. As far as SEO benefits are concern, I don’t see much direct SEO benefits from Google plus even for Americans.

I think you only should be on Google+ when you have a community around you and you can interact with them to get some referral traffic. If your audience isn’t there what’s the point of investing and wasting time there!

Just a thought!

Interesting idea indeed even from the reader’s point of view, if someone is looking for a tip, they know the place to go instead of finding posts from within the Youmoz section.

I might contribute to my story and problem solved as usually write these kind of stuff on my personal blog as well J

Thanks Ronell, I love the overall idea here!

First, there is no problem from the SEO point of view if you 301 URL A, B and C to URL D but obviously you have your website for users and not for search engine only which is why your first concern should be users.

If I would be at your place I would have thought about the following before coming to any final conclusion.

URL D will entertain users the same way as A, B and C was doing and they will find all the answers that previous pages were answering. If yes, I will go for it and if not, I would consider other relevant options I may have.

Link profile of the A, B and C URL is clean, if not I would prefer not to redirect but if the good links are pointing to those pages, I would prefer redirecting. No matter what the decision will be I will check the links that are pointing to those URLs.

If the users will not misguide and the link profile on A, B and C URLs is clean, I probably will go for it and if not I will choose other options accordingly.

Hope this helps.
