Is my Site Spam?
-
Recently google dropped our site a big time. Can some body tell me if my site is spammy. Our visibility was 67% and one of our top competitor had the visibility of 72%.

Hi Tanveer,
Thanks! Here's what I saw: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.aa-rental.com&comparisons%5B0%5D=www.meetingtomorrow.com&comparisons%5B1%5D=www.rentex.com
MeetingTomorrow.com clearly has you both beat in terms of link profile and social media presence. My guess is that your company and Rentex.com each are able to rank for some terms, but that for some you do better and for some they do better. Are you SPAM? No. I can say that. Do you maybe have some inbound links causing you problems, maybe, but you have so few inbound links I really don't think that's the problem.
One thing I did see that concerned me was a count of "0" for Internal Links. I ran your site through several tools and it seems all of your internal navigation links are "do follow." To me, this means there could be a redirection issues (although I checked that too and didn't see anything) or a technical SEO issue that's causing search engines not to see your internal links.
I would start my pursuing that. Try to find out why you have "0" internal followed links. That's not helping your link profile and could mean that search engines are having a problem crawling your site.
I hope that helps!

Hi Tanveer,
Have you compared your site and your competitor in Open Site Explorer? If not, I would do that first. You might be ale to see right away what or if there are major differences between your site and their's. If you've already done that, can you share that info via link here? Then I might be able to comment in more detail.

How to deal with auto generated pages on our site that are considered thin content
Hi there, Wondering how to deal w/ about 300+ pages on our site that are autogenerated & considered thin content. Here is an example of those pages: https://app.cobalt.io/ninp0 The pages are auto generated when a new security researcher joins our team & then filled by each researcher with specifics about their personal experience. Additionally, there is a fair amount of dynamic content on these pages that updates with certain activities. These pages are also getting marked as not having a canonical tag on them, however, they are technically different pages just w/ very similar elements. I'm not sure I would want to put a canonical tag on them as some of them have a decent page authority & I think could be contributing to our overall SEO health. Any ideas on how I should deal w/ this group of similar but not identical pages?

Why would my site return an error when using Open Site Explorer to crawl it?
I have built several new sites over the last few months for others, but recently built a new one for myself. I have gone through most of the checklists from this site to address on-page SEO, and now I am looking at link building. When using Open Site Explorer, I receive an error saying that no information about the URL is available, even when I add competitor sites. Wondering if this is a common issue and if there is a convenient remedy? thanks!

One of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google.
one of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google. I was wondering if it would be trouble or beneficial to add about 10 directory links in the the highest page rank directories in the seomoz directory list. It looks like i only have about 17 root domains linking to my site so far that are natural links and not directory links. i have no directory links as of yet. Will this help or does it spell trouble getting this many directory links in a few months? Thanks mozzers! Ron

Conflicting Data with Open Site Explorer & SEO Moz Toolbar
Hi there, Why is my SEOmoz toolbar showing me higher linking root domains than open site explorer? For example, for this site: http://thisisouryear.com/, the linking root domains in SEOMOZ show 1,015 and in open site explorer it says it has 35. I have noticed this for other sites as well. Which one is right? And why are they different?

Open Site explorer (last 1-3 updates) shows new and wierd results
Hi Moz'ers! I have a questions for you guys. Can you explain why the website "Netspiren" has a lower "domain Authority" than "Duft og Natur"? See screenshot. I know it's a tough question without a detailed analysis, but looking at OSE's data, does the mozrank,moztrust, C-block don't reflect the power of the Domain Authority. What's you take? BTW: "Netspiren" has always had more and better links, and also had a higher Domain Authority. Something about the Domain Authority changed since the past 1-3 OXE updates. Looking forward for your take on this! Have a good weekend! mnRPI.png
