      Hi all,

      The online marketing manager requested to make a tree-like map of the website. He means that he would like to see a graphical representation of the website and his contents. This way we will be able to see if there are internal link issues.

      The problem is that there are thousands of pages and many subdomains, manual labour would make this a very tedious task.

      If you would get this question, how would you try to solve this? Any software recommendation?

        Powermapper is very cool: http://www.powermapper.com/download/mapper/index.htm

        It will give you a visual representation of the site and has a free trial so you have a go. I have not used for a site with over 1000 pages but it is certainly good for sites with hundreds of pages.

        It allows you to output to HTML, PDF etc so really can help give you an idea of site structure.

        Hope it helps.

        Marcus

          I have never had to do it but there are tools like PowerMapper which is quite pricey for what it does.  Does he actually want a visual one or more like a tree like structure.  This probably more 'doable; by dumpinghte XML into some formatting tool and importing it into HTML.

            Hi

            Not sure if the software in this post is too 'artistic' but maybe something there will work.  From SEOgadget / Richard Baxter

              My website is constantly decreasing

              loss of ranking

              For few weeks ago my website is constantly decreasing in search position. I lost keywords and is gooooing down.
              Although it is well rated on several on page and off page seo verification software that I have tried.
              I checked Google search console and Analytics and found no major problems. However… from one day to another it keeps going down.
              I also checked what the main competitors are doing and they are not doing well, at all.
              The main competitor actually has a creepy website. Totally devoid of onpage or offpage SEO but with an enormous number of backlinks. And of a very bad quality, which should disqualify it, still…
              Few weeks ago I changed something.
              In the pages I had H1, 4xH2, no H3 and an H4 without content.
              An unnatural H tag structure.
              Now I have H1, H2, H3, 3xH4, with the coherent information.
              Theoretically, Google should have been “happy” or I’m missing something. I use a SAAS platform.
              I just found out that they made changes to the keywords (tags).
              I am selling toner cartridges for printers.
              So…
              The tags are printer models and generate a url in which they have the products.
              Ex. https://www.sertit.ro/cartus-imprimanta-cilindru-color-hp-laserjet-pro-m-177fw goes to the products for that printer model.
              The question is… should I make tag canonical?
              Is it possible for products to loose so much in Google search?

              Why Google de-rank a website.

But, after few days it got de-rank automatically and Moz is also not showing any result to that.

              Multilingual website

              My website is https://www.india-visa-gov.in and we are doing multilingual. There are three options 1. TLD eg india-visa-gov.fr (French) india-visa-gov.de (German) 2. Subdomain eg: fr.india-visa-gov.in (French) de.india-visa-gov.in (German) 3. Folders https://www.india-visa-gov.in/fr/ (French) https://www.india-visa-gov.in/de/ (German) We have tried the 3rd option but need to know whether its better or not for the long term health from SEO. Does the MOZ DA carry better in Subdomain or TLD or Folders? What does MOZ recommend to maintain DA? Thanks

              Advice on Linking to an Adult Related Website

              I have a question regarding whether or not Google would penalize my main website for linking to a website that has adult content. The site I am linking to is not a porn site, rather it is a site that sells web site templates for adult related stores selling sexy toys, videos, etc. For example my site that is linking to the adult related website is here: http://www.websitetemplatedesign.com/ and the link to the site is in the footer at the bottom left which is an icon. And it links to http://www.adultsextemplates.com/ Im just looking for advice as to whether or not this could be a penalty or not. I did suffer major SERP loss in the last month and Im trying to find what I am doing that may have caused this. Any advice would be appreciated.

              Why is my website banned?

              IMy website is Costume Machine at www.costumemachine.com . My site has been banned for 1 year now. I have requested that google reconsider my site 3 times without luck. The site is dynamic and basically pulls in feeds from affiliate sites. We have added over 1,500 pages of original content. The site has been running great since 2008 without any penalties. I don't think I got hit with any linking penalty. I cleaned up all questionable links last November when the penalty hit. Am I being hit with a "thin" site penalty? If that is the issue what is the best way to fix the problem?
