Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The last 2-4 month have been up and down for OSE. My homepage is getting new links almost daily, clean white hat links but my have not increased, it actually drops while my rankings increase. Webmaster tools counts over 4000 linking domains while OSE counts 41..

Pretty nice answear, there Gay! I got a few pointers my self. U can make or brake these infographics very easy if you dont get it right.

I really agree with you here. I'v seen a big increase in number of people that clicks on ads.

Try [exact match] KW with relevant landing page and appealing adtext.

Is the whole site based on crawling and xml submission? i have seen a similar effect when alot of content was feeded in. the relevance drops since it looks like copied content can you twist of add content to your feed? That might help and try to get more unique content. There must be loads of cuponers that have cupons or know about cupons and would like too submit, exchange, or even trade cupons with others? Am I right?

Shema.org is great for rich serps. But I have seen this before even for my own site without using shema.org.

I guess its relevance and how your site is built. For instanse if your site (lets say yoursite.com/music) is a feed witch displays new elements all the time its not unusual to se results with some text and then +15 elements showing titles and ratings if that is a part of your content. Remember shema.org is pretty fresh and we have seen rish serps before that

Itunes is a BIG brand so for google to manually build this is a great reward for googlers.

So basicly my answear is build your site so that its easy for google to crawl AND include shema.org to be on the safe side and get it as you want it.

I'm with you on that! Great content and well presented content will give you links.

In fact it is as simple as that, as long as you have the best content, product, presentation or navigation. Look at your competition and make sure that your site, content, product is 10% better than theirs.

I would agree on guestblogging, great content and PR in a good mix. If you do that well links will keep rolling in by the time you get good positions in the SERP.

Look at you competition, what do they do? Are your content better then theirs? Or could you present it better?

It's pretty simple to get links as long as your content, brand, presentation is the best out there.

Great idea, that karma is gonna get you paid in the long run. The future is helping people and the philosophy "earn little by many"

That will confuse the engine if you ask me. Even if the engines crawl your page and put into index doesnt mean it's a good way to approach SEO.

I say get rid of the meta title and stick with just the

make it look like this<a href="" rel="nofollow"></a>

I target my keyword in the alt tag and give the title an informative and userfriendly description with the keyword in it.

Great answer! I did know about Google personalization but the IPS was new to me. Thanks Egol!

Is it ranking for some keywords or did you simply search for you sitemap? In that case I really dont see the problem. Then I rather google indexed my sitemap.

I'm with you on that one! But I can really see why they doesnt, like you say the serp changes every day but it's really the big picture you should keep track on. if your site drops one day and you make changes based on that you might get bad results since that could just be a short drop only to rank higher the next day.

By following the big picture you will have better grounds for making changes. I mean you have to sleep aswell?

I would say a quality PR agency with SEO knowlege, that can put you in contact with high authority sites and publishers. Linkbuilding is PR if you ask me. You hit jackpot if the agency has creatives that can think linkbait.

Internal links with ancor text should'nt confuse the rank it rather "kill" the rank for the page with an outgoing link for that word.

Links will affect your rank though, work on accouring more quality links containing the ancortext "Patio Umbrellas".

I would'nt advice you to put NOFOLLOW or NOINDEX if you'r unsure rather use Canonical url it's a better solution.

Hope this helps.

To be sure you should copy the link from the browser and insert it to Opensiteexplorer. By doing that you should'nt get "no data available". You probably got it wrong with or without the sub www.

I dont get all backlinks in Opensiteexplorer but I do get pretty much all domains with influense (bigger sites). another tool is google webmaster tools. That would give you all the backlinks witch has driven traffic to yur site.

Thanks Keri! That was pretty obvious, 'shame on me'

Great question, I think there is many of us that would like to know more about  this. I woulden't know my self since I have'nt imlemented this but I comment on this thred only to get email when someone replies since that is the only way to "follow" a thread as for today. #seomoz hint.

As for your question about indexing have you tried out the new webmaster tools submit url to index?

I have had that problem before, that time i deoptimized the page in question and SEOmoz switched page for me. As far I as know you cant edit witch page seomoz ranks manually. Any one know for sure? I think it's a good mashup between most relevant, linking sites/ ancor text and ranking. Any one know for sure?

Any way try deomptimizing your on-site for that page it will probably give you better rankings too.
