Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hm. I'm trying to figure out what exactly you're talking about.

If you go to this page: http://ndesign-studio.com/blog/best-wordpress-sites and do a search for "Laying horses" there is a link with that anchor text to this page: http://racingsecretsexposed.com/

There could be a lot of different things going on here... But I think it has to do with the freshness of Open Site Explorer. This webpage my have been changed since the last update to OSE.

Right now I have a website that is exclusively a blog. I want to create pages outside of the blog and move the blog to a page other than the index file

e.g.) from domain.com to domain.com/blog

I will have the blog post pages stay in the root directory. e.g.) domain.com/blog-post

Any suggestions how to properly tell SE's and other websites that the blog has moved?

Thanks for the post. Good to hear that someone else went through a similar situation!

Did you do anything about any external links that might have been pointing to some of the pages that went away? Is there anything else that you could suggest that I might have not thought of?

Thanks again,

Scott

I would use alt tags to accurately describe the image. Google should be able to tell that an image of a human brain is closely related to cognitive behavioral therapy and will help add to the content and quality of the page. It might even look spammy to have "keyword stuffed" alt tags.

I'm working on a very large (over 2500 pages), very old website (with pages created in the late 90s). The structure of the site is a mess (it still shows subtle sings of Frontpage!). We are trying to move to a more uniform, dynamic solution.

My question is: what sort of implication will there be on search rankings if we implement 301 redirects from the very old pages (that are poorly named) to new pages which follow a uniform pattern.

Some of these pages have external links pointing to them and others (most) just have internal links pointing to them which will be adjusted to the new urls.

Does the age of the page have a significant implication on rankings? Is there a better way to this than 301 redirects?

Thanks for the help

Then it has to do with a combination of the age of the page and the internal linking structure of PRweb. Prweb structures it's posts so that they belong to categories. As more press releases are posted they move farther and farther from page 1 of the category (and get less and less PR from PRweb's homepage).

I haven't looked too deeply into this theory but I think it's a logical explanation.

I really think it has to do with the age of the page and the freshness of the OSE index. Golfer's Advice was just posted yesterday (December 19, 2011) and the HP White post has been up for over a month (November 02, 2011).

One of the links to the HP White post the seems to be pushing the PA is a category link.

I'm pretty sure the Golfer's post has a category link as well but the OSE has not recrawled the category page since it added the link.

There's really no way to force people who embed your video to link to your website. The best you can do is encourage them to do so within the content of the video itself.

Maybe it would be beneficial to play around with how you present your website in your videos. Pay attention to what works and keep improving on that.

Subdomains are likely to be treated more like their own website as compared to a folder.

Ex) keyword.wordpress.com vs wordpress.com/keyword. The subdomain is likely to not be as closely related to the root domain as compared to the folder.

And don't know why a subdomain of blogspot or Wordpress ranking easier than a new domain like:keyword.wordpress.com and keyword.com

There's a lot of factors at work here. It's very difficult to tell why one would be ranking better than the other without seeing the pages. It's likely that it has nothing to do with the being a subdomain at wordpress.com. Technically they should be treated very similar.

I hope that helps,

I've only worked with Facebook comments and Disqus. I started with Facebook and decided to move to Disqus. This was for a few reasons:

I came to find out that many people didn't want to use their actual name (personal facebook account) to post comments. Facebook comments restricts commenting strictly to users who have Facebook accounts: users are unable to use their Twitter account or post as a guest, ect. Disqus allows users to post from several different accounts including Facebook and as a guest. I just really am a fan of the versatility that comes with Disqus.

Hope that helps,

For example (add what is in bold):

• rel="nofollow">$0.00 - $100.00

You can also delete the empty title attribute (title="") since it's pretty useless.
