Remarketing List at Impressions Level
AdWords doesn't let you build a remarketing list based on impressions, no, probably because of privacy reasons. There's no way to advertise in Gmail other than through AdWords, which means you're out of luck in this scenario. The only way around it I can think of is, if you advertise through Gmail with a sponsored email rather than in the top or sidebar; then you get to use your own HTML, so you can slip a tracking pixel in there. But no one sees that unless they click to open the email, so I don't think this is what you're looking for, exactly. Sorry I couldn't give a better answer, Kristina

Linking Same Page using Important Keyword as Anchor?
Internal links from the page to the same page? 0.o Common sense tells me that there is no any common sense behind that Again, internal links are for informational structuring mostly! Dont be that "one guy" from this video of Matt Cutts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ybpXU0ckKQ So, to sum up: Google doesn't pay much "ranking" attention to internal links, it uses them to get structure of the website + a little bit for deeper understanding what page is about, not how to rank it. It's bad UX also. So, no, there is no any SEO value. If you have some data to prove me wrong - I'll gladly change my mind

Drip Feeding Free Top 10 Blog Sites for Link Building?
Is it a good move to pick 10 free blogging sites to build links No is the simple answer really. Google is targeting these types of link building practices so I would be looking to create amazing content and the performing your outreach from there. By Amazing content, I don't mean that you should write 500 words and how that will suffice - because for the most part, it won't. If you want to really succeed with link building, then you need to create content that takes you past what most others are doing. If you can create 10 articles in a couple of days, then you are't doing enough. Take your time - spend a number of days creating something that is fully researched, very in depth and answers many questions. You will have a really good chance of this being picked up by a number of reputable sources. -Andy

Social Links through Link Shortners. Does it count?
I've never read or heard of there being any hard evidence that it wouldn't affect your social signal. It should have the same effect as it would come through on your Analytics as a Social visit. Almost everyone uses link shortener services now so I would be very surprised if it had a negative effect. As for the description its good practice to get into the habit of writing new fresh descriptions and content for your posts, this will encourage more engagement with the post. Especially if you re-post the topic a couple of times, people will get bored if you just copy and paste the same text each time.

Linking to External Websites?
Hi there This totally depends on the content of the page you are A. linking from and B. linking to. There are also multiple factors that you should consider when linking to an external site. Take this list from Moz for example: The trustworthiness of the linking domain. The popularity of the linking page. The relevancy of the content between the source page and the target page. The anchor text used in the link. The amount of links to the same page on the source page. The amount of domains that link to the target page. The amount of variations that are used as anchor text to links to the target page. The ownership relationship between the source and target domains. Reviewing the above list and resource will help you gauge whether or not linking to an external page is necessary, and if the page you are looking to link to is worthy of your link. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Links via Commenting on Popular website. Does it work?
Google usually doesn't like these types of links. They can result in a Penguin problem. These links are often nofollowed by the websites publishing software and will not count in your rankings. Webmasters really dislike rubbish comments that are placed simply to produce a link.

Content Of Dead Websites Can be resused?
I will use the basics here! You have 2 website, website "A" is a total SPAM and website "B" is decent and showing some positive moments. When you shut down your first website, make sure all of its content is out of the Google index and all the links are now linking to either 404 page or some other pages other than the content itself. Also, make sure that the content is not used elsewhere. If this is done, you can reuse the content slowly on your B website and run stuff accordingly and I am sure there shouldn’t be any problem with that! Personal Opinion, my idea is to build the newer version of the content (may be by adding more facts, data and figures to it) and reuse it on the website so that it not only pleases search engine but the real audience accordingly. Just a thought!

Allowing Guest Posts on Website
Hey Jawahar, Thanks for posting your question. Guest posts will never harm your blog if you follow these guidelines: Content is fresh, detailed, unique and optimized. It's well-written (in terms of grammar) and meant to educate users. There is nothing wrong in giving do-follow links if the site "really deserves" it. So make sure to double check every outbound link in the post. Make sure to use images with credits or with permission. It's up to you how many links you want to give away from each post but avoid any commercial anchor texts links. It's better to accept the authors who have previously contributed in that niche but if the author is new and the pitched topics are interesting, give them the chance as the new bloggers sometimes can be beneficial. Hope this helps! Umar

Blogpost Authorship. Should we give credits or not?
If they are professional writers and do excellent excellent work I might do it as a reward. Be strict with this. Also, you need to review their Google+ profile to be sure that it does not contain content that is disagreeable for any of your visitors who might go there. Reserve the right to remove the link and be very clear about reserving that right. This will require some administration work from you, and some traffic loss. So you got to be getting value from it. Overall, if it keeps content quality very high, I would not have a problem linking to a google+ page at the bottom of the article. I have done this. I have also linked to faculty members university page if they write an article for my site. They enjoy this and often link back to my site to share their article with others.

Social Media Content Duplicacy?
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, you're posting spun content? Are you spinning someone else's content or are you spinning your own content? Separately from that, social media has no real direct impact on SEO, and duplication through shares across social is kind of the whole point of social, so I wouldn't worry about that hurting anything. Nor would I seriously pursue it as an SEO tactic. The value of social to SEO is that it amplifies your content's reach, and more eyeballs on your content translates to more potential for attracting natural links. But the shares themselves do nothing to help SEO right now. In the future, maybe.

Thin Content to Quality Content
In my opinion, quality content has nothing to do with keyword density in it. If the content is quality, users will stick on the page and you will get more time on site by users and shares on social media accordingly. As far as the rankings are concern, I know it’s important but keyword density is not the only thing that Google took in to consideration when ranking a website. My advice is to do the deeper analysis of the website and see why the rankings have dropped? - Is it because the content that dropped its ranking were really bad? - Is your bounce rate high on those pages? - How many shares and link you get on pages that are ranking well as compare to the pages that dropped recently - How powerful is your internal linking Also, create few more content and see how they are acting after the update, and make a decision based on the data you have collected. My advice is to keep your users as your first priority because if they like it, they will share it and the conversion rate (important at the end of the day) will improve. Hope this helps!

Content Internal Linking ?
Hi, I think internal linking to 'relevant' content is a must-do, because it is great for both human visitors as well as helps with improving accessibility of content for search engines. My suggestion is to not focus too much on ratios as Dennis has suggested above. Identify and link to relevant content; don't over-do the number of links. Similarly with anchor text, mix and match the terms/ phrases you choose to hyperlink. Best, Manoj

Not Adding Fresh Content Daily Did Got Me Penalized?
If you go the "quality content" route and can only produce a small number of new articles per month, the best thing to do is to produce only "evergreen" content that can be recycled out to the front page. That will give the appearance of activity and diversity - at least to visitors with a good memory who have not been visiting your site for a long time. Also, if you have a page of "news" where you link to articles on other websites about industry trends or interesting topics. That can develop a following of thousands of people who visit your site frequently just to check that page - or subscribe to your feed.

Checking Rankings Again & Again Can Drop Rankings
There can be no benefit to doing this Jawahar. Set up some tracking of phrases and then tell everyone to stop checking all the time. If Google sees a lot of the same searches and clicks coming from the same IP, it might look unnatural to them. -Andy

Sitemap Indexation
if you have a /sitemap.xml file you shouldn't need an html one unless you find users are using it and finding it helpful.

Google Rankings Are Dancing What To Do?
Well, I wouldn't ignore what is on your site altogether. If Google has done an update and you are seeing a lot of fluctuation, resulting in a drop, then there is something amiss. Conduct an Audit of your site to see if there are issues that can be resolved. -Andy
