Yes, can I mark a whole block of ads as "advertisement" or does each individual ad need to be marked?

In marking paid ads as "advertisement" for the sake of Google organic, if you have a block of small ads, do you have to mark each and every one as an advertisement?

For instance, let's say you have a block of small ads in the right column... mark each one or just at the top or what?

Thanks!

Richard and John,

Thanks for the suggestions. I took a look at Doc Cop... pretty cool. Thing is, it almost seems impossible to find something that would be both a good TLD and have age, a good link profile, trust.

Alot of them look like license plates or too specific or just impossible to shoe horn into this particular concept.

What about using a domain name that reads okay as a domain name and then 301 the bought domain into it?  Totally crazy, or what?

Thanks... Darcy

Hi,

Old domain name is about books and book buyback. It had about 1000 pages at one time, been around since 2006, and still shows in Open Site Explorer as 86 links from from 46 domains, PA 43 DA 35, spam score of 4. The 4 evidently relates to low number of internal links and no contact info.

The domain name's ownership hasn't changed, but for the last year has either not been up at all or only the homepage in the last couple of months.

Now the idea is to maybe re-purpose it for place rating content... no more book content... totally different subject matter.

Is this an organic search advantage or would it be better to start fresh with a new domain name?

Is Google going to have a harder time seeing it as relevant for a new subject (with good new content) or seeing a new site as important?

Thanks... Darcy

Sorry to misunderstand the problem. Do those new urls actually exist on your site or just in search?

Hi Pete,

It sounds like you've done what you can. I wouldn't submit multiple removals for the same url.

I assume it's out of your site map and you're not still being hacked and have figured out how it happened and taken steps to fix it.

Google will eventually figure it out. I'd try to move on to new stuff.

Best... Mike

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the message. How much of a Summer drop do you see?

Anyone else? Thanks.... Darcy

I have a client who has a b2b site catering to a white collar information market.

Looking back in G/A, it appears that they've never had a good organic search Summer, but have made plenty of YOY gains.This Summer is a little better than past Summers.

Personally, I have read about people who take Summer vacations. Mostly in France. This is a U.S. site and U.S. traffic catering to business executives.

I can see it in the parking lot of the downtown office building I work in... fewer cars after Memorial Day and more cars after Labor Day. How seasonal would you expect that kind of organic search traffic to be, say from April vs July?

Would prefer answers from direct B2B experience, rather than guesses. But, if a guess is all you have, I will gladly accept that!

Thanks... Darcy
