Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the responses people.

Though, I am the only person on my IP address

and I'm not using any other SEO software other than Moz.

And it's for the most mundane of searches, of late I've been taking screenshots.

9 out of 10 times I get hit with a captcha.

In my OP google.support pretty much says what the cause is.

Dear fellow Mozzers,

For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search

I have to enter a captcha code.

Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying !

Then I went onto support.google.com

and saw this:   https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866

"Automated traffic includes:

• Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper
• Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google"

Is Moz alone doing this?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Dear Jackelyn,

I completed the survey, as much as it would let me complete anyway.

It said I needed to enter my personal details at the end of the survey but I wasn't given the chance to.

Does this mean I'm not entered?

Dear Steve,

I've never heard of the importance of a landing page needing to be indexed as it's a single page.

I don't know how having a landing page could be of benefit to you.

Hi Nicholas,

Here is a list of useful refernces.

It's a technique of guerilla and internet marketers.

It's not a link to your website but rather just another way to rank in SERP's for a keyword.

I've never heard of it being negative.

Hi Andrew,

You're best bet is to perform a crawl and go through the results

as some of the things you listed are there and others not.

Best,

Hi,

Did you archive it? If you did

then you should be able to retrieve it.

I agree with Joey.

In addition to looking at who your customers are.

I'd also do a little snooping to see what you're competitors are doing and see how you compare.

A social media strategy would also benefit rankings.

Google also offers "Page Speed Insights" that will give you an analysis of what can improve load times.

I have helped someone out with their TOY website and the keywords ranked just like all the other keywords,

mind you the key words were not foul, smutty or offensive. Simply, key words.

I've even seen "toys" for sale on ebay.

I was able to help the client increase his search results against his competitors.

Unless, everyone in the entire adult industry is being penalized...
