Anyone have a collection or list of spammy websites?
-
Random I know. I started a fun pet project at www.me-not-spammer.info. Total spam. Totally says it's not spam. Satire and all, something only SEO people will get really.
Anyway I want to make a sidebar of other "not spammers" and need to find a bunch of spammy websites. Problem is they don't rank in search engines obviously so I know of only the ones who leave comments on some of my wordpress sites.
Anyone have a list of a bunch of them so I can link to them in my blogroll?

Hey there! So while I don't have a list of spammy websites here's a general overview of how I analyze whether or not a website is spammy or not:
- Does the website have a high Spam Score when running it through Moz's Link Explorer?
- Does the website have an alternative TLD? (ga, rn, cl)
- Does the website have a low domain authority?
- Does the website use similar templates to others that are possibly low quality?
- Does the website cover a topic that's totally unrelated to the linking site?
- Is the website part of a blogspot link network?
- Does the website pass the "eye test" and look like it could be useful for users?
Of course one or two of these qualities does not make a site low quality but raises a flag that it could be. For me if a site has multiple factors that make it low quality and doesn't appear to pass the "eye test", then I might consider it a spammy domain. You can then submit all spammy domains to your disavow file.

Wow! You must have plenty of time on your hands.
It would be interesting to see how it ranks - if you choose to track it,,,
Sorry I can't help with a list.

Looking for feedback on review website
Hello Moz community. I’m looking for feedback on how
Content Development | | Paul-Paquin-Golden-Financial
to improve this national company review/comparison website. We bring in experts in the industries we are writing reviews on. Well then conduct extensive keyword research and provide an SEO optimized recommendation content briefing to the writer. The writer creates the content including the high search volume and most relevant keyword phrases that people are searching for. We also make sure to match the intent of the keywords to Commercial intent for the content to ensure it matches our audience. For example, we brought in a leading audiologist and created the top Hearing aids for tinnitus.. How can we improve the process and site, any recommendations?0 -

How best to roll out updated website to new responsive layout
We are having an issue about when to upload newly converted pages to website. By going responsive we are basically going with a new layout, different look entirely. I think it's best to wait until every page in the site has been transferred over to the new layout. Partially because some urls are being updated too, and the look is different enough that it may look like half the site got hi-jacked. My partner thinks rolling out/uploading each page as it is complete is the way to go. Need input on pros and cons of either method.

How can we dynamically populate content on our website based on a visitor's web history?
Recently, I have tried looking into options that would allow us to dynamically populate content (specifically images to be used at CTAs on our blog in wordpress) to different users based on their web history on our website. We would want to be able to dynamically populate images based on the number of visits in the past 60 days and the inferred industry based on pages hit. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anything as a standalone tool - I believe HubSpot may have something like this but it is rolled into their blogging platform. Does anyone know of one?

H1 tag in Blank in Wordpress website
Good evening, I have noticed using some h1 checkers, that my primary h1 tag is blank. I manually introduced an h1 with my main keywords, but system recognises as 2 different h1 tags, and therefore it could be harmful for my SEO purposes. I created my wordpress website using Artisteer. Is there any specific way (or plugin) to change this primary h1 tag so it wont appear as blank? My site is www.outletspain.net Thanks in advance Maria Jesus

Does anyone have some examples of Ecommerce websites that have great product reviews that are SEO friendly?
I am trying setup product reviews on an Ecommerce site and was wondering if there were some good websites to create a model around that is SEO friendly. Right now my reviews are in a separate directory off the review (http://www.example.com/review/product/etc) and I would like my reviews to be attributed to the product page to add in free, fresh, unique content that contains valuable information for both the user and SEO (new keyword derivatives). Also any suggestions on getting users to leave reviews? Whether it is a monetary incentive/coupon or a free method (of course this is preferred :)) Thanks in advance!
