301'ing old (2000), high PR, high pages indexed domain
-
Hi,
I have an old (2000), very high PR, 20M+ pages indexed by goog domain which... got adsense banned.
The domain has taken a few hits over the years from penguin/panda, but come out pretty well compared to many competitors. The problem is it was adsense banned in the big adsense acct ban of 2012 for invalid activity. No, I still have no idea what the issue was.
I'd like to start using a new domain if I can safely get goog to pass the PR & indexing love so I can run adsense & Adx.
What are your initial thoughts? Am I out of my mind to try?
-
If you're saying that organically it's ranking well you'll see a dip from the redirection process. If you like the site and don't want the risks associated in redirecting, you should probably avoid redirecting it.
-
Any thoughts on the 301'ing of a site with such stats??
-
So you have individually been banned? You're probably out of luck there.
-
I dunno, it's not like I have anything to lose adsense wise. I can't use it now.
-
Couldn't tell ya. If you have an existing relationship with an account rep there I'd work directly with them on both points. Personally the linking of a banned site to a clean account sounds very high risk.
-
Do many 'related' accts get shut down if the new site/acct is running clean?

Hi Steve. EGOL would be the expert on this question for sure. And just to clarify it was only a site that triggered removal and not you as an individual or company? Beyond that, here's the official guide on how to get a site reinstated based on appeal:
We're always willing to work with you to resolve any issues you might have. If you feel that this decision was made in error, and if you can maintain in good faith that the invalid activity was not due to the actions or negligence of you or those for whom you are responsible, you may appeal the disabling of your account.
To do so, please contact us only through our appeal form.
Once we receive your appeal, we'll do our best to inform you quickly and will proceed with appropriate action as necessary. Please understand, however, that there is no guarantee that your account will be reinstated.
Once we've reached a decision on your appeal, further appeals may not be considered, and you might not receive any further communication from us.
From: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/57153#q2 Chances are you've already tried this and the appeal was rejected. Did you go over each and every point of their reasoning behind invalid activity? Did you go full kimono? You could try once more but I'd preface that as FINAL appeal and then let it rest and look for different advertisers.
If you do pursue linking the old, banned account to a new one, you'd probably run afoul of, "My account was disabled for being related to another disabled account. Can you tell me more about this relation?" from that same page... Good luck!

What happens when we change redirects to pass linkjuice to different pages from backlinks? Google's stand?
Hi Moz community, We have employed different pages (topics) at same URLs for years. This has brought different backlinks to same page which has led to non relevancy of backlinks. Now we are planning to redirect some URLs which may improve or drop rankings of certain pages. If we roll back the redirects in case of ranking drop, will there be any negative impact from Google? Does Google notice anything about redirect changes beside just passing pagerank from backlinks? Thanks

New Domain, Subdomain or Subfolder
Hi All, I am working with a bank that would like to rank as many parts of the company site as possible for the company name. This includes the home page, a page on careers and a page on company reviews. The question is, it is better to structure the careers and reviews content on a subfolder, subdomain or new domain. Using subfolders to retain equity of the root domain site.americanbank.comamernicanbank.com/careersamericanbank.com/reviews or (use subdomains - you lose some of the main domain equity and it is counter to the Moz research) americanbank.comcareers.americanbank.comreviews.americanbank.com or set up new domains to overcome Google bias not to rank the same root domain in the top 7 to 10 results multiple times when displaying results for a company name. americanbank.comhttp://americanbankcareers.comhttp://americanbankreviews.com Thanks for your perspective.

Links from high Domain authority sites
I have a relatively uncompetitive niche ranking around number 6 for my keywords. Would getting a few links from some Moz DA 80-90 and DA 90-100 sites help my rankings a lot? Some of the pages linking to me from these sites might be deep in the site pretty far away from the home page with pagerank of "unranked" or a grayed out bar and these pages linking to me might not have many links at all other than from the internal links of the site itself and would have a Moz PA of 10 or 20. Would these pass much pagerank or authority to my site or would they not be worth going after? These links to my site would be in context on a blog. Thanks mozzers!

How big is the effect of having your site hosted in the country you're targeting?
Other than having a ccTLD domain and assigning your target country in Google Webmaster Tools' "geotargeting" feature, how big is the effect of having your site hosted in the country you're targeting? Is it really necessary? or it is just a small signal? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Vanity URL's and http codes
We have a vanity URL that as recommended is using 301 http code, however it has been discovered the destination URL needs to be updated which creates a problem since most browsers and search engines cache 301 redirects. Is there a good way to figure out when a vanity should be a 301 vs 302/307? If all vanity URL's should use 301, what is the proper way of updating the destination URL? Is it a good rule of thumb that if the vanity URL is only going to be temporary and down the road could have a new destination URL to use 302, and all others 301? Cheers,
