Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think it's Okay to go with as I noticed many are practising same from our industry. And I feel like "brand & keyword" is not going to hurt; if so it must be hurting all the pages of website being with same suffix across all page titles. I think Topic name is going to play key role which we possibly do not have duplicate content issues. Our new sub directory is a help guide and I am planning to add "help" and choose one of the below format.

Topic | help - vertigo tile

Topic | vertigo tiles help

Topic | vertigo tiles - help

Very useful video for the beginners. However I feel you have provided little more info on the way the answers will be notified which is most important and users will think about the same with couple of questions like:

• If there is an 2nd response for a question, will it be notified to user of 1st response along with the user who asked the question?
• If the user who asked the question replied to one of the answers; will it be notified to other users who answered the question?
• If 2 users who answering a question are replying to each other answers; will it be notified to the user who asked question?

Hi all,

I would like to know the community's opinion on this. A website with more pages or less pages will rank better? Websites with more pages have an advantage of more landing pages for targeted keywords. Less pages will have advantage of holding up page rank with limited pages which might impact in better ranking of pages. I know this is highly dependent. I mean to get answers for an ideal website.

Thanks,

Thanks Jewel,

So we stick on this and get back to you for any other clarifications.

Hi Ruchy,

I think Google will understand these legitimate scenarios but cannot be guaranteed all the times.

We have more than 30 partners. We have given all of them "nofollow" from our website and they link back to us with followed links. Our DA is high and all of them have low DA. This is been happening for years where partners get deleted and new ones will add up. We never experienced any algo or manual penalties. If both pages have relative context in terms of content, the link must be legit.

Thanks

Hi all,

I know Google shows a different page titles. Happens when over optimised or when we copied competitors page title. But we did neither. Suddenly Google changed our homepage page title in search results. Our page title suffix "brand name" has been moved to beginning. Our page title is still for years.

No really. Not having any contact information across your homepage might be a issue. But giving phone number on top nav menu will not bring you more benefits. In fact, you can give more important info like sub topics on top nav menu to rank well for that keywords. If you are giving phone number as image, don't forget to give alt img info for same.

Our blogs.website.com has been a sub-directory since 2 years as website.com/blog. Now we have blog posts with URLs website.com/blog/blog-post-1. This blog is located at different place technically, away from website.

Now my doubt is whether the blog-posts have equal weightage at Google just like other 3rd hierarchy level pages of website like website.com/page1/topic2.

Thanks

Hi Lure,

Thanks for the answer. We are going to de index these profile pages. Just wondering about "nofollow" as nofollowing internal links is not always correct. What's your call on this?

Hi all,

Links disavowing is such a advanced tasks in SEO with decent amount of risk involved. I thought many wouldn't follow use this method as Google been saying that they try to ignore bad links and there will be no penalty for such bad links and negative SEO is really a rare case. But I wondered to see only 38% SEOs never used this method and other 62% are disavowing links monthly, quarterly or yearly. I just wonder do we need to disavow links now? It's very easy to say to disavow a link which is not good but difficult to conclude them whether they are hurting already or we will get hurt once they been disavowed.

Thanks

Hi all,

We are going to create new landing pages and optimise existing pages. We have a confusion on how to employ content on these pages....whether these will be filled with content to rank for "topics" and "keywords" or direclty jump into the features are are providing. If we go with first, users may feel boring about teaching them about that topic, if we go with latter...it's hard to rank being no related content to rank for that topic. I have seen some of the websites are employing multiple landing pages where they fill with topic related content and then link to features pages. I need suggestions here.

Thank you

Hi all,

We failed to redirect the links of our old website versions to new website pages for years and we are planning to now redirect all those old links to new in the process of link reclamation. This activity may increase the back links suddenly or steadily. If there is sudden increase in backlinks, will it hurts us? What's Google's stand?

Thanks

Hi all,

Our website's server IP address is set to be redirected to our blog by mistake and it stayed same for months. Is there any way Google recognises it and how it responds if so?

Thanks

Hi all,

We are planning to de-index and redirect a sub domain A to sub domain B. Consequently we now need to d-index sub domain B also. What happens now to the link juice or page rank they gained from hundreds and thousands of backlinks? Will there be any ranking impact on main domain? Backlinks of these sub domains are not much relevant to main domain content.

Thanks

Hi all,

Our website ranking for mail keywords is inversely proportional in the 2 countries (US and India). I mean...if the ranking is improved in one country, it drops in other country and vice versa. The graph looks like exactly something triggered and making this happen at Google. I wonder what might be reasons for this? We have been facing this for more than a year and made number of on-site changes, so I presume if it's something to do with backlinks. Any clue or thoughts on this?

Thanks

Hi all,

Ours is WordPress website and we have a blog...website.com/blog/. All the important pages in the website are well linked from top and footer menu. But in our webmasters...internal links section, only homepage is at the top. Blog-posts are others followed by homepage. I wonder why blog pages are dominating our website pages. Please give your suggestions on this. Do you think Google will give more priority for the blog-posts than website pages as they are more linked technically?

Thanks

Hi all,

We know that generally logo with the website homepage link is the first link crawled by Google and other search engines. Can we change the anchor text from "logo" to "keyword"? Have any one tried or seen others doing? How Google considers it?

Thanks

Hi,

We have intentionally blocked some of the website files which were indexed for years. Now we receive a message "Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt" in GSC. We can ignore as per my knowledge? Are any actions required about this? We thought of blocking them with meta tags but these are PDF files.

Thanks

Hi,

Just wondering about this whether the orphan pages take away any link juice? We been creating lot of them these days only to link from external sites as landing pages on our site. So, not linking from any part of our website; just linking from other websites.

Also, will they get any link juice if they are linked from our own blog-post?

Thanks

Hi,

Let's say there are multiple backlinks from different pages of same domain to different pages  of other domain like below:

Website A: Page 1 -----------> Website B: Page 1

Website A: Page 2 -----------> Website B: Page 2

Do the pages of Website B pages will get backlinks authority equally or they don't get much backlinks impact as they have multiple backlinks from same domain?

There were old school stories that Google ignores second link from same domain.....etc... So, please suggest on this.

Thank you.

Note: The question is NOT about content relevancy or domain authority score of the backlinks.
