Leaving Comments on blogs when html is removed
-
I found the following blog. It is pagerank 5 do follow
http://www.unssc.org/web1/programmes/rcs/cca_undaf_training_material/teamrcs/forumdetail.asp?ID=32
If you attempt to leave a comment with html, the html is removed. There is a button which allows you to leave a comment but if you do it gets redirected to the domain of the blog not your site. However there are still people leaving links with the url of the intended site. As late as today.
look at this comment

There's a fresh post on Search Engine People yesterday about blog commenting guidelines that likely mirrors what many people here would say about commenting. http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/blog-commenting-guideline.html It's a good read for developing a comment strategy that will work in the long term.

I've looked at a few of your questions, and would like to suggest that you look at the Beginner's Guide to SEO and get an good idea of the big picture of SEO and a feel for the SEOmoz approach to SEO. The people here tend to focus on doing things that provide value to the viewer of the site and finding the right way to do things so that your results last, rather than trying to find shortcuts and things that will only work for a short while until there's another update of the search engines.

A bot? You're scaring me a bit, like the lunch lady in Billy Madison. Are you going to write a bot to spam your links on their comment pages? That sounds fruitless... as these comment pages are already filled from top to bottom with spam.
If you use Firebug in Firefox, or Chrome, you can write what text you want in the field and add the link, then inspect the input where you see the text, and grab all the HTML that was generated by adding the text. Then it's just a matter of having a bot inject that text into the page. You'll still have to beat their captcha though to fully automate the process.

Another Thing does anyone know how to do this automatically, with a bot instead of highlighting the string and pressing the link button and putting in the info.

I tried it and it worked...
My guess is you're not putting the "http://" in the Link URL field, so the comment thinks it's a relative URL, so it ends up amending whatever you put after the page URL in the link text. Make sure to put the absolute URL in the Link URL field, starting with "http://", and it should work fine.
-
Ok I figured it out a bit more - you need to put in http://yourdomain.com not yourdomain.com when the pop up box asked for the url. My fault. Thanks for the good answer.
-
yeah, but it puts the following infront of your url
http://www.unssc.org/web1/programmes/rcs/cca_undaf_training_material/
which makes it a link to the forum not your website
TRY IT - you will see

You can do it the same way you can add links in for comments in this Q&A forum. Write the anchor text in the comment, then select the text, click on the link button, and then put the anchor text in the Link URL field in the pop-up that appears.

Removing Multiple 301 Redirects
During my last redesign (and migration to Drupal) some of the updated SEO friendly url's on the new site were misspelled. Rather than updating the 301 redirects to point to the correct page the developer just added an additional 301 redirect. So it was redirected like this website.com/oldpage (301 to) website.com/new-paige (301 to) website.com/new-page Instead of website.com/oldpage (301 to) website.com/new-page I'll be finishing another redesign and updating to https soon, should I remove the redirect to the misspelled domain and just have one 301 from the original page? These multiple redirects have been up for over a year. Thanks for any specific advice!

Html V magento
Please excuse what seem like a naive question we are In process of updating our site from old fashioned html pages to magento store. Our html page ranks well and I don't want to upset the spiders when they find something different. We are keeping all the same content images etc. Is there any reason the magento page should not do as well as the existing html. URL is staying the same. We are think of replacing a few pages at a time rather than replacing everything on one go. Is that necessary?

Rich Snippet Date Removal
Hey Mozzers, I'm having a real problem getting some rich snippet data to go away! Normally i'm all for it, but in this case it's giving our department page a video rich snippet and also a really super old date (i'm not sure if this is connected with the video rich snippet, but it showed up at the same time). The SERP is here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pool+table&pws=0&hl=en&num=10 We are 3rd for our page http://www.libertygames.co.uk/store/pool_tables/ I can't find the date Google is using anywhere on the page, in the headers or file dates or anything. I've even removed the video markup and removed the page from the video sitemap, the rich snippet testing tool confirms this : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertygames.co.uk%2Fstore%2Fpool_tables%2F Does anyone have any ideas why this might be showing up or if there is a way to speed up getting it off there and our old meta description back? I'm pretty sure it's killing our click-throughs. Thanks in advance, Stuart

Acquiring a blog
Hello All, I've recently acquired somebody else's blog and have redirected every post to the relevant page of my website (madegood.org). The content is the same as on the original site, and I have used 301 redirects. The original blog didn't have a particularly high page rank I'm slightly worried that there are now thousands of links coming from one domain, which itself doesn't have much authority. Is there a way that I can tell google that I've acquired the blog, as opposed to just having lots of links from one domain. Thanks Will

How much impact does bad html coding really have on SEO?
My client has a site that we are trying to optimise. However the code is really pretty bad. There are 205 errors showing when W3C validating. The >title>, , <keywords> tags are appearing twice. There is truly excessive javascript. And everything has been put in tables.</keywords> How much do you think this is really impacting the opportunity to rank? There has been quite a bit of discussion recently along the lines of is on-page SEO impacting anymore. I just want to be sure before I recommend a whole heap of code changes that could cost her a lot - especially if the impact/return could be miniscule. Should it all be cleaned up? Many thanks

Redirecting blog.<mydomain>.com to www.<mydomain>.com\blog</mydomain></mydomain>
This is more of a technical question than pure SEO per se, but I am guessing that some folks here may have covered this and so I would appreciate any questions. I am moving from a WordPress.com-based blog (hosted on WordPress) to a WordPress installation on my own server (as suggested by folks in another thread here). As part of this I want to move from the format blog.<mydomain>.com to www.mydomain.com\blog. I have installed WordPress on my server and have imported posts from the hosted site to my own server. How should I manage the transition from first format to the second? I have a bunch of links on Facebook, etc that refer to URLs of the blog..com format so it's important that I redirect.</mydomain> I am running DotNetNuke/WordPress on my own IIS/ASP.Net servers. Thanks. Mark

Removing GWT Geo-Targeting
Hi, if I have a website in Google Webmaster Tools > Geographic Target set to United States, but I want to promote it in other specific countries, 1. Do I have to change the geo-targeting in GWT so it does not target a specific country? (discarding the option of adding sub-domain to GWT) 2. If I remove the GWT geo-targeting would it affect my rankings in the US? Thank you
