Welcome to the Q&A Forum

But my site is not SEO related, and it is very hard to find sites that I can get links from in my industry.

Hello,

I created a wordpress blog a while back, http://plastic-bins.com/

If you go into one of the pages on the blog (for example: http://plastic-bins.com/plastic-shelf-bins/ ) you will notice a link after the text/content telling you where you can purchase the stuff that is talked about on that page.

There is one link back to the e-commerce site on every category page on the blog. Does anyone know if these links will help me or hurt me in terms of ranking in the SERPS?

Thanks

Oleg,

One of the highest Domain Authorities in my OSE profile is for this site: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/ahmed/ultimate-seo-checklist/

Are you saying that going ahead and commenting on this blog with my new domain as the URL is a good strategy?  Isn't that part of what got me here in the first place?

Thank you both!  I will look into this right now.

Also, i'm open for anymore suggestions anyone has

thanks again!

Thanks Oleg, but just out of curiosity, how do i know which links are considered good and which ones are bad?

Also, any advice other than building links?

Thanks,

Good Morning,

We've been penalized for unnatural links on the site : http://goo.gl/JgK1e

After attempting to contact many of the sites with links pointing at our site, and getting no response, we decided to start from scratch on a new domain : http://goo.gl/XUH3f

The first thing I did once the new domain was up was remove all of the unique content (text) from the original site and place it on the new site...

I am still having a difficult time getting the new site to rank in the SERPS.

Can you guys please provide pointers as to what steps should be taken to get the new domain, http://goo.gl/XUH3f  a high ranking in the SERPS?

Thanks!!

Good Morning,

We have a Magento shopping cart based site running on RedHat version of Linux.

We had a CMS block created for the homepage of http://goo.gl/JgK1e designed  to be visible only on the homepage only and nowhere else.

We copied the entire site structure onto a new URL http://goo.gl/XUH3f . (this one running on CentOS) and have an odd situation on our hands...

Even though the CMS block “static_after_footer_block” is “enabled”, it either completely disappears (moments later), or whenever it does display, it is visible in ALL levels of the site (not just the homepage it was designed for)

Other than this anomaly, the site seems to be operating correctly…

Anyone out there with some insight?

Thanks!

Thanks to you both.  Great info...

The 2 sites contain multiple links, pointing to various items in the 3^rd site.

We’re considering deleting all of these links and 301-redirecting these 2 sites to a 4^th (new) site.

Good Morning,

We have 2 sites have images and minimal text on them.

The images have links that point to a 3^rd site that facilitates eCommerce.

Question: If we 301 redirect these sites permanently to yet a 4^th site…

1)      Does it violate any G’s guidelines

2)      Should we delete the links embedded in the images (as they point to the 3^rd site)

Thanks

Good Morning,

I am considering doing a 301 (permanent) re-direct of roughly 100 domains, split between my 3 main e-commerce sites.

Would taking an action like this put any of the 100 domains or any of the 3 recipient domains at risk of violating G's guidelines?

Thanks...

By the way, where is that script entered ?  On the new site or the old site (they are on different hosts)..

thanks

Thank you both.

I will try this out and let you know

Is there a way to do this easily for 4,000 pages or does it have to be done one by one?

Good Morning,

I have an existing site (http://goo.gl/QKkpi) running on a slow server.

We decided to create a new site (http://goo.gl/XUH3f) with the intention of de-commissioning the first one.

Both sites are on the same WMT account.  What is the best way to permanently redirect any backlinks/traffic (all levels, from home page to product pages) from the old site to the new site (prior to shutting down the first one).

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the insight...

Simplastics.com currently runs on IIS, however, the new site will run on a Linux based server with PHP and SQL db.

As for the 30240 trailer (LOL) unfortunately that is a misguided application of part numbers by a particular manufacturer (we don't like it either as it spiders like a zip code instead of a part number).

The new site utilizes a Magento shopping cart so we're committed to Linux.

Considering the migration to a new platform, what would be your recommendation?

Our website is running on a 2004 Microsoft Access DB and it’s time to ditch it…

We have a new site created using .php with a sql DB.

How can we maintain the back links and general goodwill created over time?

Example… how do we redirect something like

http://www.simplastics.com/details.asp?subcat=35917617&itm=2916 to

http://www.simplastics.com/30240  <--- (new address will look like this)

thanks

Good Morning...

In my Google webmaster account it is showing an increase of backlinks between one site i own to the other.... This should not happen, as there are no links from one site to the other.

I have thoroughly checked many pages on the new site to see if i can find a backlink, but i can't.

Does anyone know why this is showing like this (google now shows 50,000 links from one site to the other).. Can someone please take a look and see if you can find any link from one to the other...

original site : http://goo.gl/JgK1e

new site : http://goo.gl/Jb4ng

Please let me know why you guys think this is happening or if you were actually able to find a link on the new site pointing back to the old site...

thanks a lot

Hello,

I currently have a website ranking in the top 7 for my main keyword.

The website was built in 2004 and is definitely outdated, yet still ranks very high and brings in business.

If i launched a new site on this domain, what would happen to my rankings?

Would they drop? would they rise?

If i don't launch the new site, will this site eventually drop due to being old and outdated?

Any advice would be helpful...
