Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Are you especially concerned with ranking those pages?

Hi there My first question is are you sure removing these pages were your only option? Did you check to see if these pages you removed had decent traffic and rankings? You may have just needed to update your links! If these pages didn't matter in that regard and you can go on without them, I would take a look at your internal links, sitemap, and backlinks to make sure they are updated and don't contain a link to the pages removed. Google also offers resources on how to remove pages from their index if you don't want them to appear anymore. But again, I would run through your Analytics, Search Console, SEMRush data, and Moz analytics (if you have it) to see if those pages you removed had value! You may have removed some great opportunities! Hope this helps! Good luck!

Love the mouse analogy - perfect. This is a great answer and a great example of how to answer. Agree with the substance as well. Find the morsels you're able to get quickly, feed off those & grow.

Hi! I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Can you provide links/screencaps to specific examples of what you have seen others do, and are considering doing yourself? Thanks!

If it is in their footer, than I'm guessing that a link to your home page is best; unless the home page to your store is separate and you want the authority to go to that page (i.e. you're trying to rank the store higher in the SERPs). I would try and get highly relevant, contextual links to deep pages of your site from them, if possible.

As Matt Cutts says in the video Prestashop links to, a short period of downtime should not hurt at all. Google understands that short outages happen fairly regularly. If you know that the site is going to be down for longer, try to serve a 503 server status, indicating that the site is "unavailable" rather than "not found" (404) or "gone" (410). Some URL were lost during the drop of server, what should i do? Create again? Delete on GWT? What exactly do you mean by this? That the rankings were lost or the files were deleted? If the files were deleted but you want those pages back, re-create the files and upload them again to the same location they lived in before, i.e. re-creating the same URLs. If you mean that some URLs lost their rankings but that the files / URLs still exist, you will need to wait a little while to see if their rankings come back. I expect that they will: a 12 hour downtime should not hurt you permanently.

If you're actively link building to those pages from external sites using that sort of optimised anchor text.  You'd want to stop that immediately. Internally, there's not a pressing need to do this, but I would stick to a rule of natural flow: is the anchor naturally integrated into the sentence, and would the text be there if you didn't want the link to be there? In general, I'd definitely stay away from doing this in every post you write. Only do it sporadically and only if it truly makes sense to the flow of the text. If it looks in any way unnatural, don't link like that. You can pass just as much authority around a site using "click here" as you do with "voucher codes" and you avoid looking like your internal optimisation is too search-engine focused if this sort of linking is not too common.

Hi Pompero99, I believe you're asking if it's okay for non-local businesses to have Google+ Local pages. The answer is no. In order to be eligible for a Google+ Local page a business must: Make in-person contact with its customers Have a physical street address Have a local phone number If a business can't say 'yes' to all 3 points, then it does not qualify. If I've misunderstood your question, please let me know.

I would update the meta descriptions, page titles, meta keywords, and the body content to eliminate the stuffing. You shouldn't see a drop in ranking by removing extra keywords from the page titles.

So, these are sites that scraped your post and then linked back to it? If that's the case, the links are good, in a sense - they help Google remove the duplicates. I'm not sure what you mean by "there are 2-3 always". What does your link profile look like outside of this. If there are 66 links like this, and these are the only 66 links you have, it's possible you could be at risk. If these are 66 out of 6,000 links, then I probably wouldn't worry about it, especially if they're not paid links or somehow engineered (part of a link network, etc.).

Sorry, Juan Carlos, I'm still not clear on the differences between the 2 sections of the sites. You say "The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) ... but the website don't talk about that". Then you say: "The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site." If the blog isn't specifically about the same topics and targeted at the same web visitors as the html site, then it's not going to help get more sales and should be completely separate. It sounds to me like you're doing a general blog, but hope it will generate traffic for the specific sales site. This almost never works, as having a lot of off-topic content on the blog will confuse the search engines about what the sales site is about. It will also be attracting visitors that aren't interested in your site's products, which is a waste. My suggestion would be to have the blog completely separate, and then when you do write a post that actually is about something the html site sells, link to the page about that product. Alternatively, (and this would be far stronger for SEO of the sales site) leave the blog where it is and limit the blog topics mostly to things that relate directly to the products you are selling. Make sense? Paul
