Hi Andy,

Yes I had noticed. Lately Google was not caching pages but it seems that since yesterday has returned to normal. At least with my pages.

Hi,

I dont think so. The most important thing is the canonical, if your canonical matches your keyword you do not have nothing to worry about. The breadcrumbs are useful for navigation but if you are using them for seo purposes, you must know that they do not need to match your exact keyword. Google is more semantic than ever.

Hope it helps.

I have checked the pages as Jeff did and it looks everything is ok. So may be is an error from moz report because if you do the page analysis with moz bar, shows everything is ok.

Good luck

Hi there,

I have seen this tactic for years aswell. The thing is that it works very well for some. Some people will say that you have to remove them quickly because you are going to be penalised. But i have seen many big brands doing link wheels for all their sites, and they never have been penalised.

I presume your competitor is doing this because he wants to get more authority in his page referring authority sites in the niche.

For me the thing that you have to check is the quality of the backlinks, using the moz tools. Anyway keep an eye on them and if you see anything weird, write the webmaster and ask him to remove your links.

Good luck

Hi there!

Clean URLs are preferred by people, and it just so happens that search engines prefer them as well. Keywords in URLs are, more often than not, used to identify the relevance of a page when a search for a particular keyword is performed. However, it is not generally recommended to stuff keywords in your URLs for SEO purposes. The idea is to deliver enhanced usability to help users remember and share your URLs more easily. At the same time, clean URLs also facilitate a search engine’s ability to identify the relevance of page content to a particular search query, in order to choose what to display in search results.

So yes, it´s better if you modify all of them and make it clean.

Good luck

Hi  fionadoggett,

The thing is that you do not need to tell Google you are moving. Remember that you are working online, so you can hold your business location just for Google. Anyway i have seen many times in google places two different locations of the same business (but in the same city) so, may be is possible to hold both of them.

Good luck

Hi there,

The best practice that google recommend first is to email the webmaster of that page to take out the link, then if he do not reply you can use the tool disavow. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en

If it is like that, google will catch them and drop them far away from the ranking.

I recommend you to do this:

Google your most important keywords.
Grab all the top 10 pages in the ranking.
Check the balance of the traffic using semrush.com, if you can see any big drop from traffic could be they have been penalised. In this case avoid them. If they have normal balance, go to https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ and check their backlinks.
Download your csv report.
Now choose the most important ones (with DA &PA) and try to replicate them.
Remind has to look natural, so you must go slowly.

This way you dont have to wait the results of the first site.

Good luck.

I understand but we are not talking about black hat seo, just to crawl a site that hasn´t be crawled since october. And we all already know that sometimes Google says half-truths. I was suggesting to do something knew to get different results that he already had. Anyway i appreciate your point of view.

Why not Martijn? That tool has helped me several times not in the same case but for backlinks.

Hy ByskEd!

Here http://sixrevisions.com/content-strategy/5-common-seo-mistakes-with-web-page-titles/ they say not to use them in all pages to make branding. But myself i´m using it because i have seen big brands ranking very well the brand name using these type of techniques.

Hey ya! You can find a great disccusion right here www.searchenginejournal.com/w3c-validation-for-seo-myth-and-reality/18566/

They have grown a lot since October. Can be seen from the growth curve. It seems that some tactics are wearing, if they have cheated we will see in a few months. Otherwise you could use opensiteexplorer.org to copy their strategy and replicate their backlinks.
