Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi There! Thanks for your response!!

I emailed our IT group about the sitemap observation.

The site went down on January 4th. It was only for 30 minutes. We noticed the odd SERP results on Wednesday- January 6th. According to Moz our Keyword rankings for 'duluth trading co" & "duluth trading company" have been all over the place. See here: http://screencast.com/t/Tgc3qZgYrd & http://screencast.com/t/uvgHeRGNy

I also noticed that "https" is showing up and not "http". I'm not sure why that is happening as well...

We have had the ODDEST thing happen to our Branded search. Last week we started seeing our Women’s subdomain (women.duluthtrading.com) outranking our main Duluth Trading domain (duluthtrading.com) on searches for “duluth trading co” and “duluth trading company”.

Sample of odd results page: http://screencast.com/t/cKgkaYc1

As you can see- our Women's sub domain is ranking #1 then our main domain, THEN what used to be our organic site links are now listing 3-6.

If you search for "duluth trading" though, you will get the typically results page: http://screencast.com/t/qGLDWiM0f

We have been trying to figure out how or why this has happened.

Our website went out for 30 minutes on January 4th. We thought maybe that is what happened but it has now been 7 days.

Any help or suggestions would be great!

Are there any reports you can run on Moz that lets your view YOY analytics?

Hello All-

I thought there was a way to view what keywords/queries were typed in to show a certain webpage. For example: If you go to Google Search Console>Search Traffic>Search Analytic. You would click "Pages" and normally it let you see what keyword was typed in.

If any one can help me out with this- I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

Hello:

There was a Mozscape Index scheduled 9/8/2015 and now it go pushed back October 8,2015.

There seems to be a lot of delays with the Mozscape Index. Is this something we should expect? Updates every 2 months instead of every month?

Thanks!

Does it help your SEO if you have “Get it only at _______”. I know call to actions in general help when you search organically. Does it help to have your brand name/business name in the meta description?

UPDATE: First, we ended our advertising relationship with Amazon, as our lawyer felt that it created a grey area as to their page content being true (I've added a link to a screenshot below of the offending page for documentation).

Three weeks after ending our relationship, my internal team went through the standard Amazon forms to report this page, but hit a dead end, as many of their forms aren't set up to "report Amazon", but rather other publishers.

Our lawyer ended up sending a cease and desist, and the page was removed in 2-3 days and de-indexed from Google within a week. Pretty amazing.

I would like to add that the offending page was constantly being optimized - page layout, image sizes, products featured, types of products - meaning it was an active page they were managing.

LEARNING: Treat your brand like your crotch, and defend it as such!

Thanks for the input, Mat. I was thinking an aggressive approach would be best - even if it is an auto-generated page, as Amazon needs to have controls in place due to their online authority.

Will post an update.

Thanks, Paddy. Will report back on how this goes.

Amazon.com created a branded landing page using our company name. Problem is, we don't sell our products through them, but they seem to have scraped our data feed or modeled our product feed by listing different brands work pants, underwear and gadgets that we don't sell, but are very similar to ours. Of course, the products listed are products from their affiliate/partner sites (and fulfilled by them in many cases).

The offending page is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1001022921 NOTE: It is already #2 in Google SERP for our branded term, thanks to their monster domain authority.

We do use their CPC/product listings ad services, but it's limited as they don't accept our clothing products. Any recommendations on how to approach this, legally? This happen to anyone else?

Better yet, isn't this a very grey/black hat approach to utilizing their domain authority to mislead OUR customers (remember, that page isn't selling our products!)?
