Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes, but article got 1y so it can be not so accurate now.

I think the same but need some more "proofs" like a/b tests or something.

Hello

Client got website with javascript generated content. All links there (from mainpage to some deeper page) are js generated. In code there're only javascripts and other basic typical code but no text links (<a href...="" ).<="" p=""></a>

<a href...="" ).<="" p="">The question is: are those js links got the same "seo power" as typical html href links?.For example majestic.com can't scan website properly and can't show seo metrics for pages. I know google crawls them (links and pages) but are they as good as typical links?</a>

<a href...="" ).<="" p="">Regards,</a>

Whats the domain name?

Hi

In general? Do link audit and seo audit. Then implement findings.

But to say more, reveal domain name. Can be to pm if you want.

On the other hand there could be no penalties, just crappy website (according to google guidelines now).

Hi Satish

First of all. Those are only tools. They predict if you have penalty or not but won't tell you in 100%: "You've been penalized". Im not using that kind of tools to tell somebody he was penalized or not. Nothing will replace digging into data.

Penguin penalty is "automated penalty" (real time now) and you won't see messages in google search console.

How effectively? If you got enough number of good links, then you have the chance to bounce back after link audit completed. If you don't then you can see no rise or not to previous serps but seo after will be 100% effective again (at least for a start till next messing with google). Also there's another option - that's not link related penalty.

Choice is yours.

Guidelines are general. Each website is different case so you have to check if your markups are spammy or not. Spammy means:

• too much selected for structured markups

• improper use of markups

• markups in markups

and so on...

This is spammy structured markup penalty (likely this) or pure spam penalty. Can help.

Have you seen my private message?

Hi

Could you post here screenshot from gsc? Is this some manual penalty?

Ok so check with site something under 1000 pages and go to the last results page. You'll see that there'll be different number (in almost all cases).

Hi

Most accurate number is from screaming frog (if you have less than 500 pages or paid version if more than 500).

Google indexes what it wants and if good enough to show in google index. If some pages are similar, got quality issues, blocked by robots etc then it won't show all. BTW don't think number in GSC or google index is good, check it manually because there can be 468 but in fact 200 only.

Moz can have "historical" pages that now don't exists or don't care about quality issues.

The truth is in screaming frog - most accurate number. If you used google user agent then number is the max that can appear in google index. If screaming frog user agent with turned off robots then you'll see bigger number (but google won't show it because of blocks).

If you want to check what's indexed then use tool like scrapebox. First get all urls (maybe without images if you don't care), then check indexed with sb. What's not indexed, can have some issues.

No, but you can add another sitemap for wp inside magento wmt. No need to set another wmt for blog.

Hi

This is how I'm doing that:

1. Check topics/base keywords that fit your website/company niche.

2. Check top10 competitors with those topics and copy their websites.

3. Use semrush.com (ahrefs.com, majestic.com too or similar to them showing traffic stats) to find the keywords each website ranks. Do the same with base keywords to find more of them.

4. Make a sheet (or upload and combine) with them. Don't forget to leave search volume and keyword difficulty score.

5. Sort by searches and difficulty.

6. Pick what you think is good and adequate to your niche/company. Make another sheet (number of keywords can be hundreds but no worry about)

7. Check in your serpmachine (any that can check positions for desired city/country) if you're already ranking for those selected keywords (probably not or way below top10).

8. Combine serps, urls, searches, keyword difficulties into next sheet (or add columns to that second sheet created).

9. Decide what to choose.

Rest is about writing content, building links and so on... but you'll get nice keyword list with good searches per month you want right?

Hi Satish

Hell no even if mainpage got nice seo metrics. Like Clever said it'll confuse users (there'll be no homepage). If you want to add more linkjuice/seo metrics/pa/da etc better to add link to mainpage with keyword you want to rank on. Something like: "more about KEYWORD here!" where KEYWORD is that keyword (or phrase) you want to rank.

Rest is the same as always: content, links and so on for the page you're talking about.

Yes. But its easy to fix imo. Create a page and set error in htacces file for example. Pretty fast to complete it.

Unfortunately not but there's api so dev could use it (I guess to write a script) )and check in batch. However if type your domain there "domain.com", and will go to pages, then you'll see pages list. Upload only those giving error (404).

Next steps I recommend:

1. If something has trustflow more than 0 and/or linking domains more than 1 - check where you can redirect it: if there's adequate page - to this page; if there's nothing good to redirect it to - to homepage

2. If rest got 0 trustflow/citation and 0 linking domains - redirect to one 404 page created by you or your dev with one url: domain.com/404 (for example).

For your example:

• do you have good page for it with same/very similar content? Yes? Redirect to this page. No? Redirect to homepage because of citationflow bigger than 0.

Hi Becky

1. Check if those "404s" got any links/link juice/seo metrics - for example with majestic.com

2. If some of them have links - redirect to proper pages or homepage if you don't have a good page for something. And keep them. Used or not.

3. If the rest got 0 links, no seo metrics - set one 404 page and redirect ALL the rest 404s to this page (via htaccess for example). This page can be domain.com/404 with nice explanation about oops something went wrong etc.

4. Good would be forcing to reindex those 404 pages with some software or indexing service. Google will get it pretty fast.

Yes, it's bad especially if pages giving 404 but not redirected got some links and some seo metrics like trustflow.

So robots part could be at the end but in my case it worked fine too.

Hi

I just finished similar job.

What you should do:

• collect all bad "pages" and links pointing to them
• find a pattern like some kind of directory
• set them (directories I believe?) 410, not 404
• set robots to disallow those directories
• push all pages and links to reindex
• remove from Google index
• done (need to wait some time)

Important thing is to get rid of all bad links pointing to those pages. If you do that, then there'll be no issues. However this could be ongoing negseo. If you need help with that, pm me.

Hi Bob

Tons of unique content but optimized? Tons but focused on keywords you want to rank? Good backlinks but are you sure? (Im not talking about seo metrics only). Etc etc...

Btw whats the domain name (can be in pm)?
