What is domproof.com?
-
I see in webmaster tools that I have a bad URL linking from the mydomain.domproof.com. What is this??
-
First try to contact the web development people over at that place and ask to remove that link (they might have been hacked or something). If there is no response, than yes - disavow. If it continues - then you can report them through Google.

Thanks for the response. I assumed it was ghost spam but figured I would check with the masses to see if anyone had any experience with these leaving bad links in Webmaster tools. Also I was wondering how these were fixed, either with a disavow file or something else?

Hi.
Well, you are either a spammer and trying to get hits to that domain or you need to read on ghost and referral spam.
Cheers.

Hi mozzers, When checking the coverage report on GSC I am seeing over 649,000 valid pages https://cl.ly/ae46ec25f494 but when performing site:domain.com I am only seeing 130,000 pages. Which one is more the source of truth especially I have checked some of these "valid" pages and noticed they're not even indexed?

Google now automatically adding (NAME).UK.COM to the end of each page title
We're on a .uk.com subdomain (scientifica.uk.com). Now, at the end of each page title, Google is automatically adding 'Scientifica - UK.COM'. So a lot of our results now appear as [Page title] - Scientifica - UK.COM It looks a bit a mess and I'm worried about our CTR. Can anyone shed some light on this or know how to stop it? Thank you WbCO0BM

Duplicate content on .com .au and .de/europe/en. Would it be wise to move to .com?
This is the scenario: A webstore has evolved into 7 sites in 3 shops: example.com/northamerica example.de/europe example.de/europe/en example.de/europe/fr example.de/europe/es example.de/europe /it example.com.au .com/northamerica .de/europe/en and .com.au all have mostly the same content on them (all 3 are in english). What would be the best way to avoid duplicate content? An answer would be very much appreciated!

EMD.net or PMD.com?
I've had a successful online business for the past 8 years, and my website was consistently on the front page of Google for 5 of the years, almost all of my longtail (that's an old term huh?) keywords as well as my top choice, vanity keywords. However, with the last update and Google's brand push, I've gotten beaten up pretty badly, falling to 3rd, 4th and 5th page results. Maybe I could have saved them (disavow some links, improve speed) but I had a really happy and horrific event in my life, the birth of my first child. Happy because I've wanted a family since I was 13, horrific because she's been ill, and it's only my wife and I taking care of her. I literally haven't been back to sit in front of my computer for the past 3 months except to do quick searches on medicines, treatments, etc. So now that I have some freedom to get back to work, and our major selling season is over (with a massive drop in sales) I'm considering on re-branding with a new url (our reputation suffered a lot too, late shipments, long customer service waits). The current url is a partial match domain relative to the two categories of products I sell - thisproductandthatproduct.com. However, one of these categories of products I want to drop because that side of the business no longer represents a profitable market, but I want to keep selling the other category of product. I own productname.net and and old fashion iproductname.com. I know that it's possible to rank .net's but since I'm in the online retail field, .com's usually have more success. The iproductname.com I think I can brand successfully, but the i in the domain name makes it kind of cliche and old fashioned. The Exact Match Domain .net is really, REALLY tempting, because it represents a search that is done about 250k per month. But, it's a .net, and might be more of a struggle since Google seems to be cracking down on EMD's, which sucks because my site is not a content or affiliate traffic site, but a retail source. And, that's not the end of my predicament. Do I start from scratch, or redirect. The current url is ten years old, with about a PR4 according to seobook's browser tool. It's still within the first 100 results, which might or might not mean it still has some authority. I was thinking about redirecting the category pages to the new url and keeping the old one as an informational page for old customers, with a link to the new site, then redirecting later on. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

WhiteGloveInternational.com has taken a sharp fall in the rankings, what gives?
My site WhiteGloveInternational.com has taken a sharp fall in the rankings. I have specified the Canonical as www inside webmasters tools. I am using wordpress & a plugin called "Simple 301" in order to specify the canonical I used the rel meta tag and changed the site location to www inside wordpress general settings, however I have not updated with the "Simple 301" plugin. Should I? Should I 301 redirect all non www pages to their www counter part or should I wait for the SERPS to do their thing?
