Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm trying to rank for several specific words in my industry. I've noticed that many of the pages I'm trying to rank for the specific words, the main image of the page is being ranked. So my question is should I still try to rank my page even though the image is ranking as the first image displayed in the google results. Will this count against me by Google if I do? Or should I try to make the image being ranked more enticing for google searchers to try to increase traffic? Right now the images are not generating many clicks.

Thanks for the response, the article already had these so I guess I'll just chock this one up as a "natural link from good content" win!

Just noticed a huge spike on one of our How To articles and found that a Lifehacker article used our article as a reference and linked back to it. Is there anything I can to to maximize the link juice from this backlink?

Thanks!

Here is my current sitemap for my site http://www.yakangler.com/index.php?option=com_xmap&view=xml&tmpl=component&id=1

I have some questions about it's current settings. I have a component called JReviews that xmap produces a separate link for each category.

ex: http://www.yakangler.com/fishing-kayak-review/265-2013-hobie-mirage-adventure-island 2014-09-03T20:46:25Z monthly 0.4

Where as my other articles are only linked by the content category.

ex:

http://www.yakangler.com/news monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/tournaments monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/kayak-events monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/spotlight monthly 0.4

Which option is better?

The first question is pretty self explanatory. If I do need my keyword I'm trying to rank for in my link example: Looking for a cool skateboard (cool skateboard) is my keyword.

Can anyone on here help me come up with some creative ways for me to get folks to post backlinks to my site with that key word in it? Unfortunately my sites url does not have the keyword in my domain.

Wow that actually worked!!!! Thanks you have solved the issue!

It's nice to hear you didn't get a copy and paste answers like I got. What steps did you take to solve the issue, or did the revoking of tokens finally work?

Linda did you ever get your issue resolved?

Just a heads up to everyone. If you contact support via email like Sean suggested above this is the response you will get.

Normally this error is a result of Google going through a process called Oauth when it comes to authorizing access of services that are linked to your Google account. Under any single Google account, there are about 20 tokens account wide. Those tokens are used to provide access for a variety of services from Gmail to apps on your phone. Once you hit the limit, which is 20 for most users, the system automatically revokes the oldest token to provide a new one. I'm not certain if this is causing the issue on your account, but it is a great place to start troubleshooting.

You may be able to correct the issue by manually revoking your tokens to make room for new ones on your account and then reconnecting the account to Moz. Here are the instructions on how to do that:

• Follow this link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens. This page displays the current OAuth tokens you are using.
• Once you reach the page, simply press the revoke button (illustrated on this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/vjh3KrjRRIe) for services that you are not using right now.
• Once you are done with, that simply go back to your campaign settings, disconnect your GA profile and reconnect.

I hope that helps, but please let me know if you are still seeing the error after you've done this or if you have less than 20 tokens on your account.

Look familiar? Yes it is the same instructions posted all over this forum. The worst part is when you reply to help saying you have tried this and it is still not working they will literally send you the exact same verbatim response. In fact they sent me this verbatim response for all 3 responses to my help email... You will also get the same people answering your email that answer in this forum, so I guess there is no Tier 1, 2, or 3, support. This issue is still not resolved for my account.

Nope I already tried that and did it again just in case... No Joy

I've had my MOZ account for a while and have just dealt with this issue for a while now but it is really getting annyoing. My Google Analytics account will not stay connected.

Eveery time I refresh a page or click to a different page, I get a notification that reads "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now."

I click the link to reauthorize and it says it was successful, But then as soon as I refresh the page or click to a new page withing Moz Pro, the message appears again.

I've tried the fixes listed in all the other questions about this issue

• Follow this link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens. This page displays the current OAuth tokens you are using.
• Once you reach the page, simply press the revoke button (illustrated on this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/vjh3KrjRRIe) for services that you are not using right now, as well as your current Moz token.
• Once you are done with that, simply go back to your campaign settings, disconnect your GA profile and reconnect (I recommend you use a fresh incognito window).

And they do not work. Please help me solve this very annyoing issue!

I'm having the same issues, revoking access, and reauthorizing does not work.

I just found another 1100 links from 800+ domains! This is getting ridiculous!

It should help that as soon as I discovered the links I submitted all the domains to be devalued through webmaster tools. But the risk with Google is they are so big most of the time they just don't give a crap.

There are always enemies...  Just not sure who...

Thanks, I think it's pretty BS that crap like this can affect your rankings. All this does is make people do it more if it can cause a drop in rankings!

I just don't understand how all these links could be created in a few days "naturally" when the links to my site before this have always grown slowly.

All the links have the same key word and link to sites like

domain:le-saint-coran.com
domain:blogs.estadao.com.br
domain:blog.teenlife.com
domain:digimills.com
domain:marisolynorsecasanengijon.com
domain:blogs.estadao.com.br
domain:blog.fullscreen.net
domain:blog.teenlife.com
domain:blogs.estadao.com.br
domain:nosoloconsolas.com
domain:platformed.info
domain:littlehomeschoolonthehill.com

All have nothing to do with my industry. It looks like someone used a program to create the links because many are hidden by css you can only see them when you view the page source.

Today I looked at site explorer and found over 1100 linking root domains and over 750 linking c-blocks. My site was hovering around 200 linking root domains and 150 linking c-blocks. I have not paid anyone to link to my site...  Is this one of my competitors trying to create negative seo for a specific key word?

I've worked very hard to never try to build links and only get links naturally by providing good content that people would want to link to. Can all hundreds of new links hurt me? What can I do?

my site is www.yakangler.com
