High pr doc files
-
I saw that the website www.comunicatedepresa.net outranks www.comunicatedepresa.ro for the therm "comunicate de presa" in google.ro SERP even though .ro beats .net in every seo indicator (links, domains linking, fb likes, g+, onpage etc)
I saw that site:www.comunicatedepresa.net returns a lot of *.doc files with a title that contains the kw ("comunicate de presa").
Ex:
www.comunicatedepresa.net/worddoc/1485/
It seems a little suspicios to me.Did anyone see this before (google giving higher importance to doc files)?
Does anyone know why .net site is ranking better?

I love these questions because they defy the laws of Google gravity! There are many "indicators" outside of the commonly discussed you find most often in these forums. You are on the right track in suspecting that Google takes the format of a site's content into consideration. If a site has relevant textual content along with a variety of downloadable .doc or .pdf files with relevant titles, preference may be swayed toward the site that seems to offer the most relevant information. Variety does matter, whether you're offering content that's supported by images, videos, outbound links, .doc documents, or .pdf documents, etc.
I also suspect that .net extension carries more weight than .ro, but there's no conclusive evidence that I can find.

Question about Image Optimization and File Size -- Does it really matter
I was using Moz's guidelines (https://moz.com/learn/seo/page-speed) to reduce the file size of my pages to improve load speed, but I'm not sure it really makes much of a difference. On this page https://www.mtecorp.com/cad/MAPP0006A002/, the file size is 710KB and it's Google Page Insight Score is 84 on desktop and 66 on mobile. On this page https://www.mtecorp.com/cad/SWNW0130E/, I got the image size to 227KB and its Google Page insight Score is virtually the same, 87 on desktop and 62 on mobile. Any ideas if it is really worth the time to get images down? (or maybe it doesn't matter if it is less than 1,000KB.

CSS and Javascipt files - website redesign project
UPDATED: We ran a crawl of the old website and have a list of css and javascript links as are part of the old website content. As the website is redesigned from scratch, I don't think these old css and javascipt files are being used for anything on the new site. I've read elsewhere online that you redirect "all" content files if launching/migrating to a new site. We are debating if this is needed for css and javascript files. Examples (A) http://website.com/wp-content/themes/style.css (B) http://website.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.8.1

How to add specific Tumblr blogs into a disavow file?
Hi guys, I am about to send a reconsideration letter and still finalizing my disavow file. The format of the disavow is Domain:badlink.com (stripping out to the root domain) but what about those toxic links that are located in tumblr such as: badlink.tumblr.com? The issue is that there are good tumblr links we got so I don't want to add just tumblr.com so do you guys think I will have issues submitting badlink.tumblr.com and not tumblr.com? Thank you!

Is there any value in having a blank robots.txt file?
I've read an audit where the writer recommended creating and uploading a blank robots.txt file, there was no current file in place. Is there any merit in having a blank robots.txt file? What is the minimum you would include in a basic robots.txt file?
