Backlinks dropped in OSE
Hi there Michael! Sorry to hear your link count has gone down. With each new index release, it's possible that older or less relevant links to your site have fallen out of the index. Generally, we suggest using a wide variety of backlink tools to get the most illustrative picture of how your site's backlink profile looks. OSE and Ahrefs index links differently and have different purposes. Ahrefs is good for quantity while OSE is great for finding higher quality links. Google Webmasters Tool is another great resource. In a situation like this we recommend working on building links from sites with high Mozrank. You can learn more about link building in our handy guide! I hope that helps!

Will Huge bounce rate from social media visits affect SEO or website Ranking according to Google algorithm factors?
Typically, website visitors from social media does tend to have a higher bounce rate. But the fact that it's coming from social and those are actually considered links (tweets are links) trumps the fact that they bounce or have a higher bounce rate. When it comes to bounce rate from a particular source, Google does have info about clicks and bounces from Google's organic search, but I don't believe they have the bounce rate from someone coming from Twitter, clicking on your site, then going back to Twitter. They do have the overall bounce rate data, but apparently they don't use Google Analytics data. Overall, I don't believe a high bounce rate from social media will have an effect on rankings--it's bounce rate from Google organic search that may have an effect.

Tool for Tracking Mobile Rankings
Could be AppAnnie, SensorTower, AppMind, Apptamin. But they're not free. I think that free tool doesn't exist because tracking require servers, special infrastructure and reporting.

Sitelink demotion not working after submitting in Google webmaster tool
Hi, In my case it is working all the time so far but I know this answer doesn't help you. Many SEO's facing the same issue. I am quoting Google's John Muller's on this "Just to sum up the possibilities ... As others have mentioned, Sitelinks demotions are demotions, not removals, so what you're seeing might be as expected (also, the changes are not immediate). If you'd like to have text removed from the snippet, there are a few possibilities you might want to look into: use the "nosnippet" robots meta tag use an image (as others have suggested) use a robotted JavaScript file (also mentioned above) use a robotted iframe The "googleon" / "googleoff" tags are only for Google Search Appliances (so if you're running your own, local search engine), not for web-search." You can read full discussion here @ https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/X1SluyGID9o/discussion Hope that helps. Thanks

Another vote for AWRcloud. It has the most accurate localization results that we've seen and also has the ability to track organic, local pack, and map listings separately.

Image ranking in Google but not in Bing and Yahoo search results
Hi, Do your images appear in your sitemap? Generally, there isn't a lot of difference between what Google and Bing look at, but they may both have different scores they associate with various aspects. With this in mind, make sure that: The image is well optimised and not too large The file is named accordingly Has good descriptive ALT text (but not spammy) Outside of that, it will also help if you build external links to that page and as with any SEO campaign, if you have pages that you wish to be more prominent for the search engines, remember to do some internal linking too. I hope that helps a little. -Andy

How long we can keep 302 redirection for a webpage url?
There is no defined time limit for a 302, rather than a clear header response for search engines that the redirect is temporary not permanent (which is a 301 header response). By default at some point you should correct to a 200 response or a 301 response. You could in theory leave the 302 but it is not good practice. Having said that my thought would be how trusting a visitor would be being sent to a different domain mid way through browsing.

It depends what you want to achieve! You will never get 8 but you can really play with match types sometimes broad with right negatives can be cheaper than exact. test it!

Showing 302 redirection error instead of 404
The reason is because of the way that your server is set up. You can read more about how asp handles errors here http://www.colincochrane.com/post/2008/01/ASP-NET-Custom-Errors-Preventing-302-Redirects-To-Custom-Error-Pages.aspx You can check the status codes that your server is sending here, http://web-sniffer.net/

Base Href - Usage along with advantages and dis advantages
Honestly, I wouldn't use base href's to fix 404s in links - I'd fix the links. It depends on the scope, I guess. If the pages are dynamic or we're talking about a few dozen, fixing the links should be pretty easy. If you have thousands of static pages, then that's a bit different, but then you'd have to edit the base tag across all those pages, anyway. I'm having a hard time envisioning a scenario where fixing the links is much more difficult than putting in the base tags, but it's hard to give specific advice without the details.

How to retrieve the Not Set Keywords especially the google adwords data in Google Analytics?
Hi! I don't think there are any filters that will help retrieve the keywords, unless there is a filter in play removing this in the first place. causing this. But in addition to linking the AdWords and analytics account, make sure that AdWords as a cost source has been enabled on the profile level (see Admin >Profile Settings > AdWords Import and Export settings) Do you have any data at all in the "Traffic sources > Sources > Search > Paid" report? Or does it all still say (not set)? Perhaps this article (Analytics support) can be of help? Are there any redirects going on that removes the "?gclid=...." appended to your URLs? Hope this helps

SMO - Author Image
I seem to agree with everyone else. You definitely want people to remember you for what you are and who you are. That's why you want to use the same image across all networks.
