Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In my opinion, there should be no problem with you publish multiple articles on the same date but technically it is impossible to do justice to all the content pieces when published on the same date. If I would be at your place, I prefer to go with the calendar. I would prefer to create the calendar based on the team members I have.

If I will have two to three members in my outreaching and content promotion team, I would prefer not to publish more than two articles per day.

Once the content piece will be launched I will ask my team members to start the promotion activities which include outreach to like-minded people, social bookmarking, link outreach and more.

This will also depends upon the website popularity, if you have a website like Search Engine Journal where people do expect more than 2 to 3 articles a day I will go ahead and follow the trend but if not then I will start a slow and move accordingly based on how much traffic I am receiving on each content piece.

The best idea is to see how popular you are within the community, what your readers are expecting and act accordingly.

Hope this helps!

I am not sure If I get your question correctly but as per the best of my understanding if you are making a switch from http to https it’s not important to upload the disavow file of https as well and this is because 301 redirection will also take search engine bot to https versions and take the same actions accordingly.

But, to be on the safe side if you include https versions in the disavow file, it will only help! J

Let me know if it makes sense to you!

Daniel, I guess there is no straight answer to it and I totally agree with you when it comes to SEO audits, now it’s not limited to titles and meta tags only. One has to focus on UX and UI of the website, their bounce rate on the website, content creation, blog and much more.

If you personally ask me I love Alan Bleiweiss when it comes to SEO audits of the website and I highly recommend you checking this post out http://alanbleiweiss.com/professional-seo-audits/seo-audit-checklist/

It covers all the important points that one should cover when auditing the website.

Not sure if some tool actually does that for 1000+ URLs but i guess Majestic should be your choice in that case. Again, I have never tried it myself so its advisable to get a 2nd opinion

In my opinion, quality content has nothing to do with keyword density in it. If the content is quality, users will stick on the page and you will get more time on site by users and shares on social media accordingly.

As far as the rankings are concern, I know it’s important but keyword density is not the only thing that Google took in to consideration when ranking a website. My advice is to do the deeper analysis of the website and see why the rankings have dropped?

-          Is it because the content that dropped its ranking were really bad?

-          Is your bounce rate high on those pages?

-          How many shares and link you get on pages that are ranking well as compare to the pages that dropped recently

-          How powerful is your internal linking

Also, create few more content and see how they are acting after the update, and make a decision based on the data you have collected.

My advice is to keep your users as your first priority because if they like it, they will share it and the conversion rate (important at the end of the day) will improve.

Hope this helps!

I think Patrick pretty much nailed it. My best advice is not to make changes on the website without testing them use tools like optimizely or Unbounce.

If you have a budget, my advice is to get recommendations from any CRO expert.

Hope this helps…

This is correct but the result I see at my end is of local maps and this is because someone (or they themselves) has registered in local maps with the title “computer software enterprises inc” so this make sense for me to be on the first page.

Hope this helps!

Already excited

Hey Linda this is first time for me too but I knew few people from the speaker panel and they are more than just great!

I already told you i am in! It would be great to meet you in person!

Saying that these domains are more or less useless will be wrong in my opinion. If I would be at your place I would have gone for the micro sites idea with creative content that can help the people of that particular city or the people who want to travel to that city.

If you are up for it, make sure that the content do not get duplicated. I agree that some of the gallery pictures might be the same but your creativity in text content should make it as unique and powerful for readers as possible.

What you should not do is a massive redirect as this will not help you in any way but too many redirections might cause a negative fluctuations in rankings.

Hope this helps!

Jay, you think I will say No or no thanks to it?

I am always hungry about new stuff coming from the Mozplex.... Count me in please.

In order to made the right choice between these two let me ask you another question. Which is better for the users from their visiting point of view. I think at any step user should not face any problem in their website journey.

If the redirect will not be page by page, users might end up facing some 404s on the website as the provided URLs will be indexed and ranking in Google search results. Technically page by page URL will allow the particular URL’s link juice to be transferred to the new domain and although it might take a bit of a time but rankings on the new domain will adjust accordingly.

Hope this helps.

I think I have to agree about most of the things that Patrick discussed already but make sure that visitors are considering at one that can easily be done by having a similar design, cross promotion, easy access from blog to website and from website to blog and more.

Also, it is advisable to do a small awareness campaign that give a clear idea to user that these two different domains are owned by one.

If you personally ask me the kind of keywords you are targeting and in against of that the kind of links you are building are not very powerful (if not bad). I think you need to work much more hard on building quality links that point back to the website. Try to get some contextual links from within the content of relevant websites (I believe travel would be a good niche) in that case.

Hope this helps!

I have a very simple logic to deal with this problem. I agree that having too many links on the page is not a very good idea both from the search engine as well as from the user point of view in many cases but there are times when you can’t do anything about it.

I think the better idea is to see if the link that you are placing on the page are important from the user point view if they are then let it be but if you can reduce them, then you ideally should. The idea is to think about users first and then about search engines guidelines.

Hope this helps!

If the slider is crawl-able, i dont think there will be a much advantage of normal static links.

My answer might not go by the book but reality is if they didn’t get caught, its fine but they got caught, the game is over J

Hope this helps!

Benjamin,

I don’t think the issue is with the slider but there are other issues you should be considering as important. I will quickly go over it.

1. 3XX errors. I am not saying 301 redirection is bad but too many 301s can damage your website so try to minimize them where possible.
2. Few URLs contain “underscore”. Not really a very good practice. Also there are one or two URLs that contain upper case as well.
3. Not saying it’s a ranking factor, but it can affect CTR which again is a ranking factor. You have missing descriptions on different pages of the website
4. Images are not properly optimized.
5. Page load time can be improved.
6. Your DA is not really impressive, so I guess few more links here and there will obviously help!

Just a quick overview! Hope this helps…

Ok here is how I will respond to this question.

There are tons of signal that Google uses in order to rank a website against a query. CTR can be one of them but I see two problems here:

1. Bounce rate. The bounce rate of the traffic will be high and this might give Google a hint that the website is getting a fake or unrealistic traffic.
2. Amount of traffic from one source. The website that you are going to use will send the direct traffic or referral traffic from multiple (yet) limited sources and I am sure none of them will be reputable in the eye of Google which again make the case suspicious.

We might see an increase in rankings in the beginning but it might fall down again in weeks of time so I guess for long term, this idea is a waste, plus this can hurt you as well.

Now, I will move to the EGOL’s idea of how you should be working instead. I think the better idea is to work on legit ideas that give a real boost to your website rankings will help in the longer run and make you a brand which otherwise is not possible.

Hope this helps!
