Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Don't you hate when you get support like that?!

Anywho, you forward the DNS of your sub domain at GoDaddy.

To Edit a Subdomain

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Next to Domains, click Launch.
3. From the Tools menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
4. For the domain name with the subdomain you want to edit, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
5. In the A (Host) section, click the subdomain you want to edit.
6. Edit any of the following fields:
   • Host — Enter the subdomain you want to use. Type @ to map the record directly to your domain name, including thewww.
   • Points to — Enter the IP address you want the subdomain to point to.
   • TTL — Select how long the server should cache the information.
7. Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.

Hope that helps!

There is great benefit to doing this! You would be putting your content in front of more people while increasing your changes of them sharing it. I think 4 per month would be as much as you would want to do. You will want to think about value to the readers most of all, and think about news broadcasters and how they might respond or take action to your press releases. If you publish a great story every week vs so so stories every day, they would take you more seriously if you did the 4 per month route.

My past boss who is very good at creating controversy in the sugar daddy dating niche via seeking arrangement, was really good at this. He always tried to provide site data about the users and presented it in a controversial way to make other writers react.

His press schedule depends on what is going on, and usually tries to push something out every week or so. Sometimes he would post anything for a month.

The best way to approach this is to make a plan of when and where you will be publishing these stories. Be consistent and do research on the art of press releases!  This post should help a bit.

I would work on sharing those articles, that is the only thing possible you could do. Hoping that Google will connect the dots of those articles content with her name.

It may work, it may not.

Good luck!

This could be a result where your back links were coming from websites that have been de indexed or banned. Those websites were affected by the updates of Panda most likely. I am not a expert on the subject because I have not had to deal with it directly.. But the dates your links started going down looks about right.

Refer to this page for more info about Google updates: http://www.seomoz.org/google-algorithm-change

You can try KeywordSpy.com or even SEMRush.com!

I highly doubt Negative SEO was used on your post. Unless you can see / gather off site data the would prove otherwise. Google likes fresh content, and will normally rank fresh content high for a few days and is common for that post to be dropped after awhile.

On second thought, looking at your back links through Ahrefs I wouldn't rule out the possibility you could have been sabotaged.

June 25th @ 293 back links to _July 2nd @ 628 back links _

I think that is pretty fast for negative SEO.. Do you or anyone else in your company or have hired someone to do "SEO Work"?

By the way, I show that you rank #9.. "First Citizens Bank Overdraft Fees"

You must remember that rankings don't only rely on back links. there are many factors like content, social signals & on page optimization to name the bigger players.

301 redirect! set up a rule in your .htaccess file to redirect  www.domain.net/default.asp to www.domain.net

This could come off as a "Blog Network" to Google and would be frowned upon. Since your Directory was dinged, I wouldn't associate it with your other websites. Personally I had 5 sites myself that were all in a "General" niche but a little different and all linking up with each other. They did not get penalized or anything but as soon as those updates rolled out I removed their linking structure. Better to be safe than sorry!

First of all, that article is really old. Second her source was from a study of about 10 million U.S. internet users.. probably more realistically people over 60 that are using Internet explorer. (JK)

I would find a more updated article like this one: http://www.zdnet.com/google-dominates-u-s-share-stats-in-june-bing-up-yahoo-down-7000000717/

Published July 11th, Bing only holds 15% market share.  which is drastically far away from 30% and way way far away from Google's 65%

Since there are fewer searches performed on Bing, not all search queries will be made, hence why you may only see a few hits to none. It's the same for my sites as well.

Hope this answers your question! and if so, make sure to mark it answered Thank you

It's is working! You may have to wait until Google picks it up.

In a way you would benefit from being on such sites because of possible click through's to your website. However, being on those sites may or may not give you a better ranking. It depends how your website is displayed and linked to. As if it is followed or no followed.

Well like I said it depends on what keywords you target... So if those keywords are ranking high on BING but not providing good traffic, then it is a waste of time. Until you get top positions in BING, then you cannot know for sure. Here is BING's keyword tool.

In the last 6 months the word "Google" was searched in bing 1.3 billion times.

Being dinged for duplicate content would be penalized as whole on your website, not just by page.

If the post is original and you just have a picture of the book with a sentence or two of it's description, I do not think that would harm or trigger a filter on your website.

They usually go for "substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar"

Here is a SS of what I am showing. Hope that proof is sufficient enough to answer your initial question. Please mark this as answered if it was! Thanks
