Hi All,

I post coupons on coupon sites a month ago and when I checked backlinks of my website I saw approx 1000 links coming from coupon sites on my Brand Name.

IMO it is quite natural please share your views.

*All the big brands listed on that coupon sites e.g amazon, dell etc

Thanks

Hi Kenneth,

If your landing page is only for Paid campaign then you can no-index and nofollow because there is no impact of no-index and nofollow on PPC landing page as well the QS.

but if you are using for both PPC and SEO then you should use rel=canonical and here is latest video on rel ="canonical"

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Cheers Andy.

It's not really for the benefit of SEO, more for the relevant referral traffic it may bring.

I guess my concern was around the sheer number of links that one site in particular was pointing in our direction and the potential for these to be seen as spam/ unnatural links.

Fully agree with Matt-POP.

I would like to quote Google on this .

"We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them."

"At the moment, sitelinks are automated. We're always working to improve our sitelinks algorithms, and we may incorporate webmaster input in the future. There are best practices you can follow, however, to improve the quality of your sitelinks. For example, for your site's internal links, make sure you use anchor text and alt text that's informative, compact, and avoids repetition.

Thanks

Hi,

Google cleared yesterday about how it deals with domain extensions, and confirmed that they’re all weighted equally.

Hi,

In my understanding anchor text is still better than than the image link and If you use button as internal links don't forget to define alt tag. Please also check below article on the same.

Hi Danielle,

I have checked from my end but I'm not seeing URL with utm_source, after clicking on search result it is going to http://employment.govt.nz/er/holidaysandleave/parentalleave/

If you are still seeing the same it means your page is indexed with utm_source you can use rel=canonical on http://employment.govt.nz/er/holidaysandleave/parentalleave/ or you can also use 301 redirect.

You are not getting correct source because you are searching in Google and showing the page http://employment.govt.nz/er/holidaysandleave/parentalleave/?utm_source=newzealandnow.govt.nz but logically source should be Google not newzealandnow.govt.nz

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi John,

If I understand your question correctly then answer is an increase of 40.72%.

Thanks

Hi,

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease:

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number

Then:  divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not agree with Lawrence on this . Calculation of Average position in Google search console under 'Search analytics' tab or in "Aquistions/Search Engine Optimisation" is complicated. Google changes definition in 2012 and Here is how Google explains it:

Let’s say Nick searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 3, 6, and 12. Jane also searched for [bacon] and URLs from your site appeared in positions 5 and 9. Previously, we would have averaged all these positions together and shown an Average Position of 7. Going forward, we’ll only average the highest position your site appeared in for each search (3 for Nick’s search and 5 for Jane’s search), for an Average Position of 4.

Please also check this thread @ http://searchengineland.com/google-changes-definition-of-average-search-ranking-position-109289

Hope this helps
