Need assistance with website placement
-
Hi,
If a website xyz.com is placed under the top right navigation of a blog abc.com which are closely relevant to each other, will it do any harm to the website in Google search?
Now since the website is placed under right navigation, it is visible on every page of the blog, does it matter even though they are closely relevant?Note: The other external links that are on the blog are also relevant to each other.
Thank You,

Thanks for your answer.
Yes, its possible when I am the owner of the blog.
But having my website placed on some other blogs blogroll which is recurring shouldn't harm my website until the following points that you have addressed.
"But if the area on the page is titled: sponsored, advertising, etc, google will know the link is paid for and if it's not nofollowed it could be a problem.
Is the link paid for? If yes, be careful. Also review the other links around it, if it's surrounded by other external links that aren't relevant be careful."
Thank you, you addressed some valuable points.
Regards,
Susan Smith

You make it appear on just one page, it just requires some coding.

Hi Tom,
I appreciate your answer.
As you said you would wary of having the website appear on every single page of the blog. However, the right navigation of most of the blogs are repetitive on every internal pages. Therefore, we can't have a website placed under right navigation of some blog and limit the pages it would appear on.
I wonder, I have known some reputed blogs who have external links (Those external links have a good reputation too.) placed under right navigation which recur on every page of their blog, thus appearing on hundreds and thousands of their pages.
Thank You,
Susan Smith

It sounds like a blogroll link, so it shouldn't harm the sites.
But if the area on the page is titled: sponsored, advertising, etc, google will know the link is paid for and if it's not nofollowed it could be a problem.
Is the link paid for? If yes, be careful. Also review the other links around it, if it's surrounded by other external links that aren't relevant be careful.

Hey there
You will probably be interested in watching this very recent video by Matt Cutts, which talks about this very issue. Watch the video here.
If not overdone, it shouldn't be a problem. And the placement of the link on the page shouldn't matter either. I might be a bit wary of having it on every single page (if you have hundreds or thousands of pages), but for top navigation pages I think it would be OK.
Hope this helps.

Website completely disappeared from SERPS.
My website which was launched back in September 2013, after a few months it was ranking second page for some of the most competitive keywords. It was all because of some good quality guest posts from PostJoint. After a few months, the website was ranking on 16th page of Google, then 20th page, then 25th and now nowhere!! I agree that majority of the guest postings of PostJoint were blakchat. For this reason I have now disavowed all domains where I had guest posting done from PostJoint. My questions: 1. Is my website affected by Penguin, Panda etc? (There was no manual penalty though)

2. My website is nowhere even for "My Company Name", this is a shame, I have to run a PPC campaign in order to get the traffic where visitors were typing our company name in Google.
3. What are the remedies? I can't afford to start a new domain, because the domain has been advertised heavily (offline marketing etc). Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks in advance!0 -
Should I continue adding new content on the website penalized by Google?
I have a website that is imposed partial action by Google due to unnatural links. We are in the process to clean up those links. At the same time, I want to add more content to the same website. My concern is whether the new content pages will be affected by Google's action as well. Should I wait until we finish the cleanup and get a green light from Google? In addition, will it be worth doing some on-page optimization on the pages that are affected by unnatural links and Google's penalty? Please advise. Thanks. John

Does Website Design Matter?
I've got a new site officially launching next month (just waiting on a few inner page designs to be finished up). But if I'm looking to get a head start on backlinks, would it be okay to start publishing content now on one of the default WordPress themes? And then start publishing guest posts immediately to get backlinks? Or would Google look at the site as not being unique?

Does Localeze replace the need for manual verifications?
I work with a lot of clients in the insurance industry. For many of them, local results are their best chance for showing up on page one of search results for these competitive keywords. I've been looking at signing them up for enhanced Localeze accounts to help increase their structured citations. Is Localeze an effective solutions for claiming structured citations, or is manually claiming listings more effective? Thanks in advance for your help!
