      So I am working on a website, and it has been doing seo with keyword links for a a few years.

      The first branded terms comes in a 7% in 10th in the list on Ahefs.

      The keyword terms are upwards of 14%.

      What is the best way to get this back in line?  It would take several months to build keyword branded terms to make any difference - but it is doable.

      I could try link removal, but less than 10% seem to actually get removed -- which won't make a difference.

      The disavow file doesn't really seem to do anything either.

      What are your suggestions?

        I guess you have to go with option 1 and 2 remove the links and at the same time build some new links with the keyword branded term!

        Hope this helps!

          Sitemaps during a migration - which is the best way of dealing with them?

          Many SEOs I know simply upload the new sitemap once the new site is launched - some keep the old site's URLs on the new sitemap (for a while) to facilitate the migration - others upload both the old and the new website together, to support the migration. Which is the best way to proceed? Thanks, Luke

          Best way to permanently remove URLs from the Google index?

          We have several subdomains we use for testing applications. Even if we block with robots.txt, these subdomains still appear to get indexed (though they show as blocked by robots.txt. I've claimed these subdomains and requested permanent removal, but it appears that after a certain time period (6 months)? Google will re-index (and mark them as blocked by robots.txt). What is the best way to permanently remove these from the index? We can't use login to block because our clients want to be able to view these applications without needing to login. What is the next best solution?

          What is the best way to optimize/setup a teaser "coming soon" page for a new product launch?

          Within the context of a physical product launch what are some ideas around creating a /coming-soon page that "teases" the launch. Ideally I'd like to optimize a page around the product, but the client wants to try build consumer anticipation without giving too many details away. Any thoughts?

          Does Google read texts when display=none?

          Hi, In our e-commerce site on category pages we have pagination (i.e toshiba laptops page 1, page 2 etc.). We implement it with rel='next' and 'prev' etc. On the first page of each category we display a header with lots of text information. This header is removed on the following pages using display='none'. I wondered if since it is only a css display game google might still read it and consider duplicated content. Thanks

          How To Best Close An eCommerce Site?

          We're closing down one of our eCommerce sites. What is the best approach to do this? The site has a modest link profile (a young site). It does have a run of site link to the parent site. It also has a couple hundred email subscribers and established accounts. Is there a gradual way to do this? How do I treat the subscribers and account holders? The impact won't be great, but I want to minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Thanks.

          What is the best way to embed PDF documents for SEO?

          I have been using SCRIBD to embed PDF documents on my site but until recently I did not include the link back to SCRIBD. Will my site get credit for this content or will it go to SCRIBD? Is there a better way to embed PDF documents for SEO?
