Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I want to dofollow links to great blog posts or websites - NOT affiliate links. I cannot find a plugin that nofollows affiliate links. Any suggestions? Amazon does not redirect and I have a lot of Amazon affiliate links.

I don't "nofollow" affiliate links but I have quite a few. Doing them one by one would just be an impossible job. Would it be best to get a plugin that nofollows EVERYTHING? What would google prefer? I need to DOFOLLOW some links because those sites deserve it.

Moz has been very helpful but since my site was hit by Google Panda and I am getting very little organic traffic, I am thinking about having someone who really knows SEO take a look and give me some help. However, I have no idea how to find someone reputable. Any advice for hiring someone for SEO help (on a budget?)

Thanks for this excellent answer. I did a search and my site is the only one that came up in the results. The scraper site is not loading so I guess it is gone.

I think I have the rel="canonical" tags on all my pages because I have the Wordpress SEO by yoast plugin.

Thanks so much because I really don't have time for letters and lawyers.

I cleaned up the dup content which was from archive subpages and a few duplicate title tags.

The site with the DA of 73 gets 4 million unique hits a month and is one of the top personal finance blogs in the US. There are no negatives to backlinks from this amazing site.

Thanks for the two Panda related links.

Why are you assuming that my guest post was not original content? It was. There are no duplicate content issues whatsoever. The google traffic going down the day my guest post was published was just a coincidence. My point is Google Panda has hit my site unfairly and nothing is working to get my rankings back up.

Actually this is really terrible advice. I am not giving content away. The guest post was original content and only on that other blog. I got over 100 subscribers and 100 new Facebook likes from that guest post and my traffic is up. The backlinks from that guest post are also great because the DA of that site is 73. And this other blog is not a competitor. It is a supporter of my blog and that support has earned me a pretty penny.

My problem is Google Panda.

My blog was hit by Google Panda on July 21. My rankings dropped dramatically overnight. Nothing I do is helping. In fact, the day my guest post was published on one of the biggest blogs in my niche (DA over 70) my Google impressions dropped to an all time low and then got worse. (250 impressions and 12 clicks) You can see the first drop and the second drop in these screenshots and yes Google Webmasters and Google Analytics match.

I am getting more fans, subscribers, traffic etc but my Google traffic just gets worse. I would really like to get some organic traffic! But I have no idea why this is happening. I checked manual actions and there is nothing. I cleaned up crawl errors and duplicate content. I get several backlinks a week within my niche from high authority sites. I just don't get it and I am very discouraged.

What should I do?

My site tanked on July 21 and I have been working so hard to bring it back up but nothing is working. Today I looked at "Links to Your Site" on Google Webmasters and I see a copy of my site on another URL.

mysite.eemovies.org/mycategory/mypost

The domain name is eemovies.org and then all my stuff is wrapped around it and all my content is there! How do I stop this?!

That would take forever! Seriously! But I have no programming skills whatsoever.
