Totally agree! Rand's post explains this really well

Good answer!

Good answer!

Hello,

Two steps:

• 301 redirect from old URLs to new URLs
• Removing URLs from Google Webmasters Tool as Brooks proposes

That's all!!

Hello my friend,

Unfortunately, I think there's nothing like URL Profiler for Bing checking.

Hello,

Some technical factors:

• Internal linking structure
• Architecture and Crawlability
• Https (Http secure)
• Existence of Meta description
• Site speed
• Keywords included in the domain
• Use of flash
• Domain .com

My two cents, I'm sure there's much more out there

Hope this helps!! If you like the answer, don't forget to select it as BEST ANSWER

Remember you can force indexing using Google Search Console

Nice answer!

But you forgot to mention:

1. Updating the sitemap files with the good URLs
2. Upload them to Google Search Console
3. You can even force the indexing at Google Search Console

Thanks,

Roberto

Hello,

Rankings could be also different for two people in the same region/city/etc since Google SERP's (rankings) are always fluctuating, specially for lower positions.

And yes, geographical factor is even more important since some results are geo-oriented and rank better in a specific region/city etc. You are not mising anything my friend

I recommend you to read this Moz post: https://moz.com/local-search-ranking-factors

Hello Harry,

I think you mistakenly asked this question twice! I already answered you the other question.

Best,

Hello Harry,

You look like in 4th position right now with Semrush (take a look at the picture), are you completely sure? Mmm maybe data is not updated at Semrush. OK.

Did you get any message of penalty action at Google Search Console against your domain? If so, you will see a message at your Inbox.

Also, if this is possible, double-check your domain's health at linkresearchtools.com for free (7 days trial) in order to find toxic links linking to your site. You will get a free detox report of your domain's health and see if something is wrong.

Let me know and I will keep checking.

Hello,

I think the best answer is Patrick's one, but I'd like to add this: "Homepages usually get all the strength (=link juice, highest Page Authority or URL Rating for a specific domain). Tipically, this link juice will pass internally from the homepage to the rest of pages, but this authority will be reduced when going deeper into other subfolders".

Best regards,

Hello Ryan,

1. how did you find these spammy sites? with Moz?
2. did you disavow the pages, subdomain or full domains? Be careful with this and don't disavow high quality links!

To answer your question:

Yes, after disavowing some links, those links will still appear on your Moz, Ahrefs, Semrush, etc reports. This is normal.

My recommendation:

1. Try to contact those sites and delete the links manually (then YES, they will completely disappear from your reports)
2. If you can't get those sites deleted manually, then DISAVOW them using Google Disavow but pay special attention in disavowing only the necessary links.
3. OPTIONAL: This is my personal recommendation: after using Moz, in order to double-check spammy sites try Linkresearchtools.com detox utility. In my opinion, they have the best detox tool in the market (but quite expensive)

Thanks and good luck!

Hello Patrick,

Nice topic!

Well, the rollback of net neutrality has the potential to impact tech in a number of ways. In its current form, net neutrality protects the public by ensuring that ISPs treat content and services equally. Not doing so would probably make it harder for smaller players and startups (us) to compete with the big guys.

From my point of view, the internet is the infrastructure that provides the platform for much of today’s innovation. If new ventures have to worry about how corporate interests can influence who fails or succeeds, there’s less efficient competition driving progress. Moreover, if getting content in front of consumers, or having access to corporate networks requires paying extra for those ‘fast lanes,’ startups that win access might be the most well-funded rather than the ones truly adding the most value.

I'm not sure if I answered your questions, but that's my two cents so far (Btw, I'm the founder of two startups).
