Changing Anchor Text and Domain Name on external sites
-
Hey guys,
I was hoping somebody might be help with my current dilema. We have a international website due to go live soon which has changed its brand name.
It is International educational website funded by the government is all I can tell you I'm afraid.
They have over 40,000 inbound links many of which are images. I'm wondering what i site best approach. To contact the web master of the top PR sites and ask them to change the listing to the new brand? I was also thinking if I was to leave most of them there as they would be redirected anyhow. Could I be clever and add the new brand link to some of these sites without removing the old and reap the benefits of having two links, the old site url and the new site url?
Here is the main dilema though, the commission wish to keep the old site live for 6 months before we can redirect.
Thanks,
Rob

SEO for a Product Domain
Hello there, I wanted to thank you all in advance, you have been very helpful with your insights so far. One of our clients is starting a new domain for a specific product he has. The client is providing his products in canada/usa. (For exemple, let's stay "nike.com"(company) just launched "jordan.com"(line of product) and wanted to rank "jordan.com" higher. I was thinking about starting with citations for the new domain/product. The thing is, since its a product, it feels wierd to do citations as usual and start a GMB account. In your opinion, what is the best way to start SEO with a product specific domain? Is citation or GMB still a good idea?

On my latest report we have dropped one point on Domain authority. I also note that our 3 competitor rankings have dropped as well. Has something changed to make this occur.

But the company I am doing SEO for has most of same quality links. Can this be the reason they have an edge?
