Authroity
-
I have had a version of my site for over 10 years. Only in the last few years have I really focused on using it to drive orders. Overall for my local area I do OK. I use to do very well until my web host accidentally deleted my site. I have been rebuilding from scratch now and it is going good.
My question is about authority. I just started working with Moz and I see that I have no authority, no links, and I am at a loss. I recently got an online magazine in my industry to publish an article I wrote, but other than that I am not sure how to improve authority and links.
Any advice would be great.

Ok I understand now. Kind of slow I guess sometimes so thanks for spelling it out for me.
i appreciate the direction again.

Ok so... Wow
found the program "wayback machine"
it keeps track of history of a domain. How cool to see your site over a decade or more.
so for those who mentioned to do this, I don't understand how to possibly leverage back any authority.
is there something I can do now that I see lots of the pages still exist?
thanks again, just spent an hour down memory lane!

yeah, I got spoiled making changes directly on the webhost and stopped making local backups. I learned a valuable lesson at least.
The other thing I gained out of it, is I was previously developing on a platform that was slightly outdated (livesite camelback) and decided to switch to wordpress for the rebuild. I am so glad I made that complete change as now I realize how powerful wordpress is over other platforms.
No luck yet but I have two people looking online to see what can be found.

Thank you, I am figuring out how to do that now.

I Agree with James, for the 404 pages you could also configure Google Search Console to find them (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6001104?hl=en.)

Hi James, I tried very hard. It was with Bluehost and I had upgraded to a Private Server and somehow they say during that move everything was lost somehow. I was floored! That was about 12 months ago actually. I have never heard of something like that before. No backup or anything. Just doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you for the direction!
I will look into what you suggest and hunt for older backlinks.I'll respond with results.

I have created a simple website, but one of the panels moves
All right, I've created a simple website (http://fontvilla.com) and I have had a problem for personal reasons. When you execute the code below and see the whiteboard at the right-hand side labeled as the.newsLetter and change the screen size, it moves away unlike that I have just floated right above. But if I float this one right then it floats to the middle of the screen, so works as I want it. In order to do that, I am going to make this reactive, and need to have it like the one above. You got a fix...?? Help, please! Thank you.

Meta descriptions in other languages than the page's content?
Hi guys, I need an opinion on the optimization of meta descriptions for a website available in 6 languages that faces the following situation: Main pages are translated in 6 languages, English being primary >> all clear here. BUT The News section includes articles only in English, that are displayed as such on all other language versions of the website. Example:
Local Website Optimization | | Andreea-M
website.com/en/news/article 1
website.com/de/neues/article 1
website.com/fr/nouvelles/article 1
etc. Because we don't have the budget right now to translate all content, I was wondering if I could add only the Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions in the specific languages (using Google Translate), while the content to remain in English. Would this be accepted as reasonable enough for Google, or would it affect the website ranking?
I'd like to avoid major mistakes, so I'm hoping someone here on this forum has a better idea of how to proceed in this case.0 -

How many backlinks from one domain?
How many backlinks from one domain is too many? 1? 3? 10? For example, directory listings. If you have 5 separate links to one website in lets say DMOZ (good for you!), is it really only "juicy" one time? Or each one just as awesome? What about multiple guest articles on a related website? If I had 2 or 3 articles on one website that each have different contextual links, is it just the same as if I had one article?
