Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It does exsist, but it is often considered spamming! Be carefull what you are doing!

It could also be just a link that should be relative, but is not.

you can use screaming frog SEO spider to find the page that is linked from.

In the end google will look at your website from the outside. So it is very cool that Yoast is helping you out writing SEO killer content, eventually you will have to asses the whole page.

Widgets may not be recognized by Yoast because it audit's the body text of the page.

Find a tool (like moz) to asses the whole page.

we use Hotjar (referal link). It it not as complete as clicktale for instance, but it is way more afordable. It has heatmaps for clicks and mouse movements and you can record sessions on pages you specify.

Well, testing is the best way.

But if you want your video to show up in the serps (which almost never happens anymore) you can limit yourself to 55 characters. (the lenght of the title tag). If you focus on Bing go for 45.

But any other motivation based on your own platform is OK as wel.

If you consider the amount of characters that is read on twitter (the first 45) you could try to limit it to that (be concrete for your customers)

consider buying them their own accounts? If it is so valuable?

@Dirk,

If you build or had anything to do with the website you should know that it is OK. Making those links nofollow is not in the best interest of the customer. If you are not ready to share some linklove with your customers, you are not doing it right.

What you are doing should be fine i think.

Work around:
Did you set a proper title tag and metadescription? Using a metadescription with the requested keyword in it prevents google from using the content (most of the times)

Have some international links can always help you out for your authority. Creating some englisch content/resources might be a good idea in order to attrackt links.

Creating your own profile page in englisch is a great place to start. This way your international buddy's can figure out what you are about, and you can link to it with a good reason.

Googlebot does not like to be redirected.

Google is always gratefull for all information you give it. Based on that information they may or may not make descicions of their own.

I think that google is very aware of what pages have changed and they will check for themselves anyway. If you have a very big website it might be an advantage to include the time. this to optimize on your (limited) crawl budget.

Google does not require it : https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en

but.. if you can, why would you not put it in?

most of your incomming links are from palminvest.nl That business went out of business. Out of business i a very public and bad way.

I would start with preventing that and getting you some good links.

(leuk idee wel verder

DO NOT use nofollow within a website. You will bleed PageRank.

If you have 5 links dividing 100% pagerank. each will have 20%. if you nofollow one the resulting pagerank from your 5 links is only 80%. This means that you bleed 20% from that page alone.

If you use noindex, please do use dofollow. This way the link value will be reused (in menu and footer pages)

For my accounts there is some 30%+ difference between google search console and the data in analytics.

The only thing i can think of: Did you connect exactly the right profile? https or http? www. to non www?

What you are doing should be fine i think.

As long as you do not overdo the content spinning (that is the word you are looking for) Say 10 or more copies of the same content and it is on purpose you will not be in trouble.

The worst thing that can happen in this case is that the vendor of the content gets the credit for the content. This can happen but often google cannot or does not know what was first. Even with the link to the original content you might come up in google very high (and higher than the vendor) on specifick keywords.

And, you did everything you could to credit the original website. Make sure you have a good maintained website with it's own design and that not all content is from this vendor (add your own articles and content)

If you want to prevent your website for getting any value from it you could add a canonical tag. (but i would not do that)

I would try to give the customers looking for the old brand names and their services as much as possible the ultimate landing page. This is for SEO and customer value.

So having a customer land on a page -this is old find the new- is not optimal. Make sure that from this "brand" page you direct them to the specific vacation they were looking for based on the old brand.

I would not direct the value to the homepage. The homepage generally does not rank for all keywords.  You need the content. You will prevent the dampening factor to kick in if you make the pages anchor text /brand correct.

Consider moving over to a CDN. For instance wp engine helps you move over and is way faster..

if customers start looking for the .com domainname (direct traffic) you will loose some customers.

Especially if the .com does exist and offers similar products/services.

maby you can try to use the function in webmastertools for the migration of domains. It seems the have updated it to fix this kind of issue https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en
