MBG Tracker...how to use it?
-
So I am a new blogger that has been submitting guest blog posts to a number of different blogs. It was recommended that I use the MBG Tracker so I can track the back links. The problem is that I am totally lost on how to use this tool. As I said before I am new to this whole thing and I am not really sure what constitutes a "base link" and a "back link." In the author bylines we are linking to different pages within a larger website. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply Ann! David, SEOmoz and MyBlogGuest are different products, you'll probably find the best help for MBG talking with Ann or using her support forums.

Let me try to be very clear. Please email if you have more questions (I got both of your emails, so feel free to use the email)
When guest blogging, are you promoting ONE site in your byline in each of the guest posts? There can be different pages from one site, but one and the same domain.
For example:
- Project name: SEOmoz
- Base domain: seomoz.org
Then when you decide to upload this page, for example: http://www.geekwire.com/2012/seomoz-secret-startup-success-rand-fishkins-tips/ - the tracker will automatically identify the backlink to track - http://www.seomoz.org/dp/seattle-startup-marketing - because it has seomoz.org base domain.
By providing the base domain, you make your own job easier because you don't have to manually provide the tool with the backlink to track!
-
So the base link would be the link to the blog post and the back link is the link that goes back to my site? Is this correct? I had seen the site that you suggested but like I said I was confused by the base link and the back link.
-
Base link is a normal submission with a link. Back link has more value with guest blogging.
HOW DOES THE BACKLINK MONITORING TOOL WORK?
This is the cheapest and simplest alternative I am aware of:
- Receive instant emails if any of your links were removed or nofollowed;
- Track your guest post social popularity (Likes and Tweets)
- Measure traffic from each of your guest posts (for that you’ll need to install a tracking code)
- Identify most efficient backlink sources (for example, to find places where you canguest post again).
To start tracking your guest posts or links, you’ll need to create a new project and specify your base URL. For all pages you add within one project, this very base URL will be monitored automatically (even if you don’t specify which link within a given page you want to track).
You can add / remove columns from the table (to adjust a clearer view) and sort by each column. You will also receive weekly summaries of your missing links and most popular link sources.

Using 410 To Remove URLs Starting With Same Word
We had a spam injection a few months ago. We successfully cleaned up the site and resubmitted to google. I recently received a notification showing a spike in 404 errors. All of the URLS have a common word at the beginning injected via the spam: sitename.com/mono

sitename.com/mono.php?buy-good-essays
sitename.com/mono.php?professional-paper-writer There's about 100 total URLS with the same syntax with the word "mono" in them. Based on my research, it seems that it would be best to serve a 410. I wanted to know what the line of HTACCESS code would be to do that in bulk for any URL that has the word "mono" after the sitename.com/0 -

Will using http ping, lastmod increase our indexation with Google?
If Google knows about our sitemaps and they’re being crawled on a daily basis, why should we use the http ping and /or list the index files in our robots.txt? Is there a benefit (i.e. improving indexability) to using both ping and listing index files in robots? Is there any benefit to listing the index sitemaps in robots if we’re pinging? If we provide a decent <lastmod>date is there going to be any difference in indexing rates between ping and the normal crawl that they do today?</lastmod> Do we need to all to cover our bases? thanks Marika
