Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website.  I know the disavow link process, but even this can be time consuming.  Is there a better way to protect my website?  Any and all ideas appreciated.... Are there any cool Moz tools that can help me manage this assault? Sorry, just a follow up from me... It appears that many of the spammy links (referrals) I see in Google Analytics are not present in Google WebMaster Tools.  Does this mean that the spammy ones that I'm concerned about have already been discounted by Google, or are the spammy links no-follow?  Any input on this would also be appreciated.

We will be changing our domain name soon and I want to make sure I'm not painting myself into a corner.  Of course, I want to transfer as much link equity as possible. Question #1: Do I need to define a canonical from the old domain to the new domain? Question #2: Do I also need to put 301s in place on the pages with link equity, or is there a way to apply 301s across the entire site on all pages? Any input would be appreciated greatly! Thanks!

We have an established website with decent domain authority.  My developer inherited the site from another developer and is recommending that we convert all pages from the .html to the .shmtl  From an SEO perspective, would this hurt us? Also, if this is not an issue, would updating the canonical help us, or does the canonical setting only deal with the "www." vs. "non-www"? Any insights will be appreciated greatly.  Thanks!

We're trying to get webpages from our QA site out of Google's index.  We've inserted the NOINDEX tags.  Google now shows only 3 results (down from 196,000), however, they offer a link to "show omitted results" at the bottom of the page.  (A) Did we do something wrong? or (B) were we successful with our NOINDEX but Google will offer to show omitted results anyway? Please advise!  Thanks!

My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed.  Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com).  Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this?  Are there any other precautions I should be taking?  Please advise.

I have a number of clients, but don't have the time, energy or desire to spend my time building links.  I'm looking to partner with someone looking to make some ca$h by helping me accumulate quality links for my clients (at an affordable price). Any referrals would be appreciated.  If this type of post is inappropriate or violates any policy, then I would like to change my submission to: "What's the best way to find a partner to assist my link-building efforts?" ....not looking for an SEO firm's sales pitch. Thanks! BR
