Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the reply.

I see. Would it be more beneficial to make sure all of our links aim to /home or would it be a better approach to remove the redirect and leave the URL as www.sparkstone.co.uk.

I think so - our profile is public and I've not selected any advanced options such as "protect my tweets". Not getting many retweets no, but we're working on it.

Our link:

https://twitter.com/SparkstoneWeb

Competitors:

https://twitter.com/EPOSSoftware

Hello Mozzers!

I was using open site explorer to investigate inbound links to our company website and also to our competitors. The main difference being is their top links are all coming from twitter - where as ours aren't.

Now our twitter account is about 10months old maybe more and it's got the standard setup with a description and the URL. We've also been tweeting with a link directly to our site. Yet no luck? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,

I'm comparing three sites and one of them I know is quite popular however a few of the social statistics are puzzling me; they've got a small amount of Facebook likes and times shared on twitter - Which just can't be right if it's all time.

What's the time frame of this data? The last three months or?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi guys,

Is this technique considered as Black hat SEO and will you get penalized by google for hiding elements from the user?

Thanks,

Hello Mozzers,

Most Ecommerce websites I've come across have four main link sections -

Main Nav - About, Contact etc

Side Nav - List of Categories + Products

Footer - Useful links etc

Promotional Area - Promoting Best sellers / Latest products

This ends up totalling anything from 200 to 500 links. I was wondering is there a reasonable solution to hide some of the links? Or should I just ignore the warning?

Thanks,

Dan
