Welcome to the Q&A Forum

_Seems like the website is just another listing site. I do not think sites like of these types are going to add any value to your website. So, if you feel that links coming from this site is affecting the visibility of your website in one way or the other, you can ask the webmaster to add no follow attribute against the links or remove it completely. But before you decide to remove the links, you need to check the analytics account to see if you are getting any referral traffic from the website. So, adding no follow attribute would be a safe bet. _

_In have checked some of the back links of yours and seems like most of them are coming from low quality directories. Though directories are not bad necessarily, you need to put a cap on the number. There are some reference of forum, but could not figure it out whether they are the spammy signature links or natural links coming from them. And the most important thing, are you using exact matched keywords while building links. You need to bring some varieties in the process of earning links. Just do not make the whole process too predictable. _

_Yeah it is perfectly fine sharing great content in social channel. And there is no as such need to rewrite them as to make them appear unique. Search Engines are well aware of this and it is perfectly natural. And it will not be considered as active unless the post starts getting Likes, Shares, Tweets, Retweets, Google Pluses from other members. _

_First of all, no need to submit reconsideration request if the content of the website is duplicate. Panda is an algorithmic penalty and therefore, there is no such need of sending reconsideration request, as it is applicable only for manual penalty.

However, what I have assumed from your post is that you are concerned about the duplicate content thing. Yes, it is a matter of concern. Try to rewrite them and wait for Google to index them and your website will be okay._

_However, if someone else is copying your content, there is no reason to be worried about. The sites that are copying your content will be penalized and not the other way round. _

_Yes it creates internal duplicate content because the same content/article is accessible via different paths and therefore, search engine might find it confusing to determine which page deserves to get visibility in the SERP. So, you need to add noindex, follow Meta tag in the category and tag pages so that these internal duplicate pages do not get indexed by search engines. _

_If I were you, I would not concern about the PR. I would concern about the quality of the website. I would like to check the quality of the articles getting published there, number of social shares they are getting, number of comments per posts and other things. If the blog looks like a part of a blog network and is heavily dependent on guest bloggers, I will think twice before accepting the offer of guest blogging.  _

Otherwise it is perfectly Okay.

_Press Release as a means to get back link if that what you are referring, I would say it is a bad idea. The idea of writing a press release is to share some news worthy article with your targeted audience. Ask yourself even if badly written and not so news worthy PR manages to secure top ranks in Google News, would that help your company impress your targeted readers? I do not think so. Rather it will leave a bad taste in the mouth so, the purpose of launching a press release will be lost. So, rather than focusing on the link coming from the press release website, you need to treat it as a powerful tool to reach out to your targeted audience and make them aware of the products or service you are going to launch. _

_Ok let us assume that Site A has got sitewide link from Site B and Site B has decided to remove that link. Now, if he is concerned about passing PR juice, he can apply no follow tag against the link. I think this is the most logical approach while getting links from blog roll. Site A is not going to lose any referral traffic and it is kinda safe from Penguin refreshes which are primarily targeting sitewide links.

Yes, I have removed sitewide links for one my websites and to be honest, there has some visibility loss but I managed to make up for the loss by earning some quality links for the website.   _

_No way. This will act just the way robots.txt works. It will discard the links coming from the website or pages that you think affecting the visibility of your website. This is certainly not going to affect the websites that you are going to Disavow. However, if a significant number of people are disavowing those websites and flagging them as low quality, it may create some issues for those sites. However, this does not mean that if a website gets disavowed by two or three people, Google will penalize it. _

I have a site that the title tag is too long and the title is simply the name of the site (I think they get it from ODP, not sure)

Now if you believe that it is the ODP that is causing the trouble, you can add this Meta tag in the section of the pages -

However, if this has not been the case, it could be that the links that have been built are not in line with the existing title. And sometimes, Google changes the title itself if it feels that the title is not well optimized –

_If you are redirecting Site A to Site B to Site C  and finally to Site D, I it is highly unlikely that the link juice and authority of Site A will be passed onto Site D. Moreover, it will increase page loading time significantly and it is certainly not adding any value to users’ experience. If the purpose is not to lose a single visitor, you can get them redirected to final website individually.

Site A 301 to Site D
Site B 301 to Site D
Site C 301 to Site D

Let me know what you think about this. _

Hi,

I am trying to block all the archive pages of my blog as Google is indexing them. This could lead to duplicate content issue. I am not using default blogger theme or classic theme and therefore, I cannot use this code therein:

Please suggest me how I can instruct Google not to index archive pages of my blog?

Looking for quick response.

Chrome supports prerendering whereas Firefox supports prefetching. So, can i include both of them to speed up the performance of the website in Chrome and Firefox? Is the below code right?
