-
Can you provide us with any lists/reports of links built by prior SEO companies
-
What types of linkbuilding do you do for your website? (press releases, infographics, directories, comments, social media, link purchasing, guest blog posts, advertorials, etc.)
-
When was the last time you had links developed for your website?
- List of Other Domains
- Provide a list of all domains you own or have administrative control over.
- Provide a list of all domains that partner with your site, such as affiliates, vendors, clients, good traffic referrers, etc.
- Provide a list of all domains that you are otherwise affiliated, such as BBB, industry associations, certification sites, etc.
- Google Webmaster Tools Access
- your Google Webmaster Tools account?
- If not, provide a list of your latest links AND top anchor lists.
- Email Access
- To be most effective at removing links on your behalf, it is best if we have access to a domain-level email address for our link removal team to use during the link removal process.
- Examples: Admin@YourDomain.com or LinkRemoval@YourDomain.com are preferred
- Removals can be performed without the email access; however, our research has shown up to a 30% higher success rate using domain specific emails as it eliminates any doubt that these are legitimate link removal requests and not a competitor performing a form of negative SEO

Looking for an SEO Mentor
I do in-house marketing for a medium sized luxury architectural design firm. I have a good understanding of the moz platform and general SEO but would like to findsomeone to provide regular guidance and answer some specific questions regarding our SEO. Specifically, we want advising on keywords, blog content, and link building. Ideally we'd like to engage a consultant (remotely) on an hourly basis. We'v have had very poor experiences with big SEO firms so that’s definitely not something we’re looking for. Best,

Would spiders successfully crawl a page with two distinct sets of content?
Hello all and thank you in advance for the help. I have a coffee company that sell both retail and wholesale products. These are typically the same product, just at different prices. We are planning on having a pop up for users to help them self identify upon their first visit asking if they are retail or wholesale clients. So if someone clicks retail, the cookie will show them retail pricing throughout the site and vice versa for those that identify themselves as wholesale. I can talk to our programmer to find out how he actually plans on doing this from a technical standpoint if it would be of assistance. My question is, how will a spider crawl this site? I am assuming (probably incorrectly) that whatever the "default" selection is (for example, right now now people see retail pricing and then opt into wholesale) will be the information/pricing that they index. So long story short, how would a spider crawl a page that has two sets of distinct pricing information displayed based on user self identification? Thanks again!

All Thin Content removed and duplicate content replaced. But still no success?
Good morning, Over the last three months i have gone about replacing and removing all the duplicate content (1000+ page) from our site top4office.co.uk. Now it been just under 2 months since we made all the changes and we still are not showing any improvements in the SERPS. Can anyone tell me why we aren't making any progress or spot something we are not doing correctly? Another problem is that although we have removed 3000+ pages using the removal tool searching site:top4office.co.uk still shows 2800 pages indexed (before there was 3500). Look forward to your responses!
