Google disavow tool ( how long does it take ? )
-
Hello,
I disavowed some of my links about three months but still see them in my link profile, using OSE?
How long does it take for Google to make them nofollow.
Thanks
-
is any body tell me the how we know we are improving
my spam score is 5
so i created a disavow file and upload on google. but i don't know what would be the next step
-
I've seen this video before, my website was effected by Penguin 2.0 (not manual penalty) while Google says nofollow links won't hurt but it seems otherwise.
-
Then I believe you may have to wait a month or so for the next refresh to see any major improvement.

It was a penguin penalty
-
There is a good video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSEqypgIJME
Matt Cutts basically says nofollow links won't hurt, but if you spam lots then they may make a manual penalty. Would be worth checking webmaster tools to see if this is the case, otherwise I doubt you needed to worry.

Thanks Keri,
Most of my links that i disavowed are blog comments and they are all nofollow links
so do nofollow links hurt my website?
Thanks
-
Most of the links that i submitted are nofollow links so maybe thats the case since Google
ignores them from I've read.

Disavowing links to Google isn't going to affect your OSE report. Moz doesn't have a way of seeing what you've told Google, so we have no way to know which links you've disavowed.
I believe it's internally Google will treat those links as nofollow, but they cannot physically modify the code on the linking site, so those links won't be marked nofollow for OSE and other crawlers.
I hope this helps some?
-
I was under the impression that if you are hit with say penguin penalty then you would also have to wait until the next refresh. Also if you have a manual penalty you will have to make a reconsideration request i believe.
If I am wrong, hopefully someone else can chime in.

From previous experience and from what I've read, it is usually in affect within days. At most 2 weeks.

Google confused by trailing slash
My client has a page with the URL https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training/. Google won't index this page because it has detected a canonical at https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training (without the trailing slash). I can't find https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training without the trailing slash anywhere in our site. All the other page URLs end with the slash. How do I sort this out and convince Google that https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training/ is the version to index? Thanks in advance for your help, SEO masters! -AK

Google Crawling Issues! How Can I Get Google to Crawl My Website Regularly?
Hi Everyone! My website is not being crawled regularly by Google - there are weeks when it's regular but for the past month or so it does not get crawled for seven to eight days. There are some specific pages, that I want to get ranked but they of late are not being crawled AT ALL unless I use the 'Fetch As Google' tool! That's not normal, right? I have checked and re-checked the on-page metrics for these pages (and the website as a whole, backlinking is a regular and ongoing process as well! Sitemap is in place too! Resubmitted it once too! This issue is detrimental to website traffic and rankings! Would really appreciate insights from you guys! Thanks a lot!

How long does it take for Moz to discover links to pages
Hi folks, Our website is doing well in the Google rankings relative to our competitors who often have higher "Domain authority" than us as reported by Moz. I'm wondering how closely Moz's "Domain Authority" correlates with Google's. In particular, I wonder how long it takes Moz to discover inbound links. For instance our page at http://www.educationquizzes.com/ks3/english has many inbound links from pages on an outstanding educational website and yet our page authority is given by Moz as a measly "1"! Any insights would be very much appreciated.

I disappeared from Google, but not Bing?
A few weeks ago the company I work for created a website called Nabceptraining.com in hopes to find clientele who are looking to become NABCEP Certified. So we installed WordPress and a nice looking theme that we edited, and we saw that without any real content on the page we were already rank 12 on Google! We never even submitted our site. So we decided to Search Engine Optimize our website to gain even better rankings. So on the first day we added an SEO Tool that would allow us to change the page titles and descriptions on our site, a Sitemap generation tool so we could submit the site to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At the end of the day we submitted the site and was beginning to create our content. That next morning our ranking was gone and we were not to be found on Google, but we were rank 3 on Bing!? What happened? Why did we disappear? We didn't receive any messages from Google on the webmaster tools saying we were blacklisted. Does anyone have an idea?

Homepage no longer indexed in Google
Have been working on a site and the hompage has recently vanished from Google. I submit the site to Google webmaster tools a couple of days ago and checked today and the homepage has vanished. There are no no follow tags, and no robots.txt stopping the page from being crawled. It's a bit of a worry, the site is http://www.beyondthedeal.com

Strange Top URLs for Keywords in Google Webmaster Tools
When we click on one of our keywords under the keywords section of Google Webmaster Tools it shows our top URLs for that keyword. The problem is that it is giving us some very strange URLs that we have searched high and low to try to find but we don't know where they came from. Here is a screenshot: http://bit.ly/pl6mB3 Do you know where this type of URL string could have originated and how to fix it?
