Will Ecademy closure affect websites google ranking
-
Hi, i think i must be the only one that did not know about Ecademy sale, well almost. In the past week I have had a number of people contact me who are angry that they did not receive an email about ecademy business network being sold off.
These people are more than angry about their monthly payments leaving their bank acounts and not having access to the new site which is here www.sunzu.com/
Although a lot of people are angry of the handling of this, an important question i would like to ask is, with ecademy no longer being around, does this mean that all the hard work of people writing articles on ecademy and gaining link juice, will all this link juice vanish
look forward to hearing your thoughts
-
have you managed to get into sunzu as i have not. we did have an account and they took money last month but we could not get into it, we were blackstar members so now we have stopped payment and told them so.
it looks like no one can join at the moment.
to me it seems very strange why anyone would buy ecademy and then close it down, what is the point
-
Articles look like they've been migrated and redirected to SunZu (although I only checked a couple). E.g.:
www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=141908 now redirects to http://www.sunzu.com/articles/article-on-articles-how-to-write-a-compelling-article-and-get-it-published-141908/
But other pages not - e.g. company and user pages just redirect to home page. Although if I do a search on a user in site:sunzu.com then it comes up with the page.
The SunZu site has nofollows on article links, but does follow from sidebar and user / business pages.
As for Ecademy... well, I'll keep my thoughts to myself on that. Be interesting to see what SunZu does, but I haven't personally used Ecademy for years.

Hopefully it is transferred over but not show how that will be possible. Not had a chance to look inside the new site yet as the passwords are not working

Were the articles transferred over to the new domain? If so, then they'll still be passing link juice. Otherwise it's a lesson in not investing too much in other people's platforms.

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

Does more product pages mean better rankings?
We've recently been told that one of reasons why our site doesnt rank as well as a particular competitors because they have much more product pages than us. We can see that they have better quality links, which we are working on improving, which we sort of understand can be helping them beat us, but we didn't think that they would be ranked higher just because of more products. They also do not have much interesting blog / content on site. So should our limited resources be focused on getting better links, better content, or increasing our depth of product range? Thanks all.

Website not appearing anywhere on google
Hello, we launched www.comparetravel.ie in June but it is not showing up on google search, we have submitted it to google twice but still no sign of our site. I thought it would at least show up for the "Compare Travel" search term, it only shows up when you type the full website address into google. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong? Alll advice greatly appreciated. (The website is Irish based) Thanks P

How best to link multiple related websites.
I have a handful of e-commerce websites that overlap each other some in the same niche. I have already heard that it would have been best to make just one website, but this is not practical for me. Our business model goes back to a time before the internet. We have relationships with manufacturers where they refer business to us because we brand web sites which will not switch customers to competing brands. Our agreements make it ok to link to other websites so long as we have branded websites that focus on the specific manufacturers. For SEO, what is the best way to link these sites? Site wide links in footers.? Single links at on homepages? One way links from the most powerful site? Some other method? We have been wrestling with this question for some time.

How does the number of obls on a page affect link juice?
If you have acquired a link on a home or other page; just how can you value the contribution of that link. If a home page has a DA=50 and 100 obls (outbound links) should the DA be discounted significantly and is there an equation which can be applied to help quantify eg 50/100 *10 therefore link from this page is same value as link from DA=5 with only one link? Just how diluted does juice become if number of obls is high?
