Fixing Dead Links How To Figure Out Where I Put Them
-
I changed the permalinks on our about page from xyz.com/about to xyz.com/about-xyz-newyork
However somewhere on my site I have the old link on a page with the old url.
How do find which pages have my old dead 404 link?
Thanks

If your site is Wordpress driven you can load the "Broken Link Checker" Plugin. It will show you on your dashboard exactly where the broken link is at and give you the option to either fix it or delete the link.

Which one? I mean I am finding the 404s from my campaign reports. Which crawler? opensite?

If you have Google Webmaster Tools, it will show you where all your broken links are. You can also use this broken link tool to crawl your site for broken links, or use a desktop too such as Xenu Link Sleuth or Screaming Frog.

Products To Products links
Hi,
Image & Video Optimization | | Tormar
I want to create good internal linking structure, but I have a problem with product to product link. E.g. I have a new model of product: iPhone 6, and old iPhone 5, and I want to put link from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6, but if I make link like this, I dropped for a few positions. Also, if I have similar product e.g. photography Kit for iPhone 6, and I put a link from this additional product to iPhone 6, I will lose my position.
Why, do you have any recommendations?0 -
YouTube Video Transcript misinterpreting audio as a swear word and putting in transcript
Hi I've just noticed a video uploaded to a clients youtube channel is misinterpreting a spoken word as a swear word, the F word :), will this have negative connotations ? could it result in video being considered 'adult content' ?? Any idea how to get this changed, should i report/flag it or will that likely make matters worse ? Or YT tech support email (chance would be a fine thing) ? Also how do you set a video as the channel trailer ? (i cant find any option to do this) Cheers Dan

CDN image links passing SEO benefit?
We used a CDN to host all of the images on our site, and the paths are such:

http://cdn.onedirection.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/harry-styles-tongue5.jpg Frequently we get a lot of other websites using our images, which we're fine with, but I would like to know if we get any SEO value from these image links? Interestingly they do appear in the "Just Discovered" section of OSE. Cheers, Chris.0 -
Backlink value of 9Slides.com link
I got a backlink from http://www.9slides.com (site like slideshare) which is cool but I'm trying to compare its worth vs a link from slideshare. It is extra work to create content in slide + video format and its DA is lower- are there any positives I'm missing? Has anyone analyzed this site, any suggestions?

Link building to Google+ profile: any local SEO value?
Has anyone found value in building links to Google+ profile for local seo rankings? My gut tells me that it will, but I am not 100% sure. If it does, then does that mean that all the traditional SEO factors that would go into ranking a site organically also work for ranking locally for certain keywords? So far, I have found that the best thing for moving up rankings is reviews on Google+, but then does that make local SEO (from a high view point) just a race for high reviews and building the most citation? I am feeling like the differentiator for local SEO is UN-structured citations and links to Google+ profiles. Any thoughts? See you at MozCon!

We have a situation with the domain www.curadebt.com where 90% of the links are no follow.
We have a situation with the domain www.curadebt.com where 90% of the links are no follow. See http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.curadebt.com%2F . If we use UAW and submityourarticle.com with spun articles of high quality, could that help solve? Any other ideas for solving to get follow links? Thanks!

Page speed not good despite CDN and caching. Can this be fixed?
My page speed results are here, showing a speed of 40 seconds. I get an F for compress text, compress images and cache static content.How do I resolve this? Also.. I've set up a CDN. Is it a problem for SEO, that there is a copy of all my images and content at cdn.mysite.com? We get lots of search traffic through google images search.

Tools for Link Quality
Hello Folks I'm a very new at SEO... and need your help please 🙂 Currently using the Goggle webmaster tool and SEO moz to monitor back links to a site... my questions are; Why do both tools show way less back links than I think I should have? Does the fact that these tools not show a link I've built mean it was a bad link? Finally what is some good techniques to know if a link is worth paying for? Is commenting on relavent blogs actually still worth anything? Thank you all
