Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm pretty sure it only applies to anchor text. PR will be evenly split over the links you put on a page (both internal and external), where not even a rel="nofollow" will change the distribution of linkjuice that a link will pass.

I personally doubt these links (or any links for that matter) are 'decaying'.

Knowing that SEOmoz only crawls a portion (however large, but still a portion) of the pages on the web, these pages that were once showing up containing your links, may simply not be crawled anymore due to being 'not important enough'.

To either strengthen or break the theory above: are these 'decaying' links coming from authorative / strong domains or from weaker domains that could possibly be fallen out of the crawling range of the SEOmoz crawler?

I don't think there is a better way to name a dated document than by using a form of a date.

However, you might want to consider using a different format (because you've mentioned these posts were weekly), for example "Beauty Industry News - Week 13 of 2013". Just a personal preference though, no gains or losses in the search engines there that I'm aware of.

Google will see the content as plain text, check for example seobrowser.com.

However, there is a chance that Google is parsing the CSS to find out that this particular content is hidden, and therefore devalues it. I don't recall ever reading about this, but it would make some sense because many visitors won't see the text.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: read the following article (http://www.submitawebsite.com/blog/2010/03/does-buying-google-adwords-improve.html) on the relationship between SEO and PPC.

Dr. Pete wrote an excellent blog about this a while ago: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-keywords-do-i-rank-for

Changing them will definitely still matter! Google will periodically visit your (and every other) website to see if content has changed, or new content can be found. Once you make sure the content isn't duplicate anymore, Google will discover this and might (or might not) act upon does.

If you want to get in contact with them, you can just use the Twitter account or Facebook fan page? What additional benefits does having an email address over having their Facebook and Twitter data? If they wanted you to be able to email them, they would've put their email address or a contact form on their website.

You're welcome.

As long as you keep this interlinking between those blogs natural (and in order to benefit your visitors), you could do this, yes.

Starting at June 8 of this year (the exact date of the Panda 3.7 update) the organic search engine traffic to our website dropped by about 30%. We're talking about a fairly new domain (about 8 months old) that has (or at least is suppost to have) pearly white SEO, and no outside parties have ever done any SEO for it. Organic search traffic was very stable in the weeks prior to June 8.

Organic search visits have dropped pretty much across the board (due to dropped ranking at the SERPS, as reported by our SEOmoz campaign). The (not provided) keyword has dropped 25%, while traffic from keywords related to our core products (joomla templates) have dropped almost 50%.

Knowing that June 8 saw a Panda update, I dug up some of the old Panda posts (never thought I'd need those for one of my own sites) to see what factors trigger a Panda hit. Based on the factors mentioned in this article at SEW, I'll briefly discuss what is going on at our website.

Affiliate links and ad units

Not a single affiliate link or ad unit can be found on our website.

Low-quality or thin content

Only 163 URLs from the www subdomain have been submitted in our sitemap, of which 152 are indexed. About 25 of those pages (the individual questions on our FAQ page) could in my opinion be characterized as 'thin content' pages.

Canonicalization

Every single page on our www subdomain has a rel="canonical". Given that the demo subdomain is based on Joomla, we have less control over those pages (and there will probably be some duplicate content issues there), but nothing more than any clean Joomla website would have.

Site speed

Our www subdomain receives a near-perfect 97/100 on YSlow, the demo subdomain scores a 83/100.

Quality

In the past months several popular resources (blogs, infographics) have been released that were well linked to by other (significant) players in our niche.

Social signals

Our site received about 25 +1's, several dozen (or more) tweets and a few Facebook Likes.

Search result pages

We don't have those.

Questions:

• Can anybody spot potentially Panda-triggering issues on our website?

• I'm aware that our link profile isn't perfect (not very bad either), but to my knowledge Panda was/is an on-page driven algorithm update, right?

• We're also running a demo subdomain (click 'demo' in the menu), hosting there five full Joomla installations to showcase our products (just like virtually all other template providers do). This subdomain seems to also have taken a hit, but less than the www subdomain (about 15% decrease in organic search visits). Is it possible that the demo subdomain has triggered this issue (and if so, what changes would you advice)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
