Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For Google its "page not found" because you are declaring on the http header as a 404 page. But for user if waits for 10 secs will get redirected to the home page. But do you really think any user will stay on the page with no content for 10 seconds? I suggest you reduce the redirection time. Hope this helps.

I have not seen this particular problem with Facebook traffic before. You should only see Referral and Social traffic from Facebook. Do you have any filters active on the Google Analytics profile in question that could be altering the Medium setting for this traffic? Or is it possible that you have campaigns set up for Facebook traffic that have an incomplete use of UTM tracking parameters for Google Analytics? One other possibility is that certain pages have been indexed by Google with the UTM tracking parameters included - this URL, for example, is indexed by Google, which is likely to be causing strange results in your analytics: http://www.wearyouwant.com/en/fb/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=CPC&utm_term=free+shipping&utm_content=landing&utm_campaign=Facebook%2Blanding Best, Mike

All backlink analysis tools will give you a different number of links to your site. Generally, I find Moz shows the least and AHREFs shows the most. For the most complete pictures, gather link data from a variety of sources and remove duplicates.

If a particular brand has no products currently, instead of showing a, 'product not found' message, you can have a description of the brand or something like, 'please checkout this space for products from xxx brand soon' etc. And also give an option for the visitor or some closely related product or category link on the same page. In this case, the HTTP header status can be a 200. If you do not want the search engines or the visitors be confused with a brand shop that has no products and shows a, 'product not found' message, the HTTP header status code should be 404 and not 200 and at the same time should help the visitor by suggesting a close match so that he can further navigate the website. Good luck friend. Best, Devanur Rafi

It can take some time for GWT to pick up on changes like this. As an example Google Webmaster Tools was telling us that there were many thousands of inbound links from a staging domain to our main website. We had to make a large change whereby we added a secure password and noindex tag reference to the staging website in question. I would say that the number of links referenced in GWT only decreased after approx 2 months. Patience can often be the key - I swear doing nothing can often be more beneficial in SEO, rather than making knee-jerk decisions in a blind panic (very tempting mind!)

Your question is: "When i already change all of them, How much effect to ours old index ?" I think there are some translation issues here since English is not your first language. If I understand your question correctly... If you have changed the redirects so URL-a.html now 301 redirects to URL-b.html then URL-a.html should eventually drop out of the index. All of its page-rank will then be given to URL-b.html, which should eventually begin ranking near where URL-a.html once was. Some page-rank may be lost in a redirect, but not much. Often when Google says there are too many redirects it isn't because you are redirecting to different pages (e.g. URL-a.html goes to URL-b.html goes to URL-c.html). Instead, it is often because the redirects are set up in a kind of loop so there never really is an end to it. One example would be if http://yoursite.com redirected to http://www.yoursite.com/, which redirected to http://yoursite.com. Just make sure that is not the problem. You should check your redirects using an HTTP status code tool like these: http://tools.seobook.com/server-header-checker/ http://httpstatus.io/

Is it possible to have alerts sent to more than one email address? For example, I have a couple of campaigns, but a colleague is managing another campaign. I know that multiple log-ins is a much-requested feature (and should be coming this Fall, correct?), but I wasn't sure if one depended on the other for having those Fresh Web Explorer alerts to to the appropriate manager, instead of the email on the account log-in. Thanks for the help!

There's a little effect on ranking in terms of the anchor text of your links helping with relevance.  And there's link juice that flows internally to the target page.  But it's not anywhere near as strong as a link from an external website. Do make sure, however, that all of your major category pages are linked to from your main navigation, so that ALL pages on your site have a link to those pages.  Make sure as well that these are plain HTML links, not Javascript, etc.

Indeed self referencing is ok and recommended as I mentioned further down ;)... my mistake. That being said I have never done it and never noticed google having an issue on which result to show, but maybe I better go and have another look!

Yes, but he also said that people are not usually named "Buy cosmetic online". That's just plain spammy.

Hi! We're sorry you're not seeing any social data in your dashboard. The good news is that we're aware of this problem and are hard at work fixing it. Our customer base has grown really quickly recently and we're starting to run up against limits that Twitter and Facebook impose on our access to their APIs. What this means is that our systems aren't able to get the number of retweets and mentions on Twitter and the number of likes on Facebook that we need to update your dashboard regularly. This known issues post is a bit old, but breaks down the exact problem that we're running into: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/22951483-Missing-Social-Data We're still making changes on our end to attempt to work around these limitations but you may continue to periodically run into gaps in your social data while we work out the bugs. For the most part though, this issue has been resolved with Analytics, so when you're rolled in (which should hopefully be soon), you shouldn't see this problem anymore. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day! Best, Sam Moz Helpster

It is very important to submit your website to Google so that it can index all of your pages. First, check if your site is being crawled by Google bot and you can do this using the Google Webmaster Tools, I suggest you become familiar with these tools. Second, check how many pages are in Google's index by typing in the Google's search box the following: site:www.yourdomain.com (replace "yourdomain" with your domain name) Third, get a sitemap ...there are many tools to generate XML format sitemaps, check with a programmer to find a solution and generate this sitemap automatically as you add more pages to your website. In my opinion, there's no need to submit many times your website to Google, just check the crawl rate and you should be fine. Cheers

Hi Alice, Why? It's quite common sense to me as well to have canonical urls on all pages of your site. So you'll always make sure the page itself is also the original page for the content. When this differs when you copy/ paste the content for example then you'll change the canonical url to the respective page.

I would encourage you to step back and ask a different set of questions.... How can I become a trusted entity online? What can I do to educate, engage, or entertain those looking for my products / services? What problems am I solving, or what solutions am I offering? If you think through these - and set out to answer them, you'll get plenty of great mentions, in all the right places. Cheers, and good luck!

Hi there, did any of our responses help answer your question?

Hi there, Thanks for reaching out to us!  I am sorry if you are seeing a delay in your rankings.  Generally the date displayed on your web app is when we start the process to collect your rankings for the week.  Normally that process happens during the date and rankings are updated in the assorted order they are assigned to (we do approximately a few thousand jobs a day). With that said, it does look like your campaign updated later than usual Just to make sure we covered all our bases, I check to see if we had some issue with our SERP collectors and it doesn't look like that's the case, so it is unlikely your next week's job will be delayed.  I went ahead and gave you something for the inconvenience you experienced... you'll just have to wait (it's a surprise). Hope that helps, sorry for the inconvenience!  If this happens again next week, please make sure to give us an email at help@moz.com so we can do some more digging for you. Best, Peter Moz Help Team.

I think it's important not to react before you've dug into the situation. There are a lot of reasons you can lose traffic and ranking temporarily, and solving the wrong problem, especially when the solution involves disavowing links, can be dangerous. Some things to check: (1) Was this loss sustained (is it still going on)? (2) Did traffic drop or did traffic+rankings drop? (3) What keywords or categories of keywords (brand vs. non-brand, for example) were affected? (4) What landing pages were affected? The more you can isolate the problem, the better. Also, check Google Webmaster Tools and make sure you haven't missed any notifications that could signal a manual penalty.

These people are all correct. I'd just like to add that while it is important to use your keyword early in the title it is also important to make your page title readable. Remember, the page title is the first thing people will see and it is what they will click on to go to your site. In your case, the page title mentioned looks spammy and unreal to me. I simply would not click it no matter where it was ranked in Google. Think from an average user's perspective - You type in what you're searching for A list of websites come up on your screen Now you have to choose which one to click. Do you choose the top one just because it's first? Not necessarily. You will most likely quickly scan the area to see which one sounds reputable or the most relevant to what you want. If I was looking for a sci fi book and saw a title the said "SCI FI FANTASY FICTION BOOK NOVEL | CLICK FOR SCI FI" above one that said "Sci fi novels and fantasy fiction books: the Ultimate Resource" There's no question I'd click the second one. So keep that in mind too. Go search for something you want and click on the website you think looks best without thinking about it. Then go back and re-read the page title and determine what it was about that title that got your click. Voila.
