Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm curious to know what us MOZ folks have to say about an update on Google. Article here: http://searchengineland.com/big-google-search-update-happening-chatter-thinks-258142 Any ideas?

So if you haven't heard already - Larry Page released a statement regarding the newly founded company: Alphabet. Crazy to think that the name hadn't even been used before for one but most importantly throughout his write up - there doesn't seem to be much clarity on what it is going to accomplish. What are your ideas/thoughts moz heads? https://abc.xyz/ - check it out. /Chenzo

Most of you guys probably already know - but Google Panda 4.2 has began. I would love to keep an open discussion regarding anyone who was affected by the last Panda update along with changes for the good/bad during this new roll out in addition to what vertical you are in. PANDA TIME! Your web therapist, Chenzo

Anyone have any recommendations for a stable/secure back up plug in for wordpress? Thanks MoZzers -Chenzo

So mozzers, you think we will get the truth on why facebook and Instagram went down once they get it back up? so far their outrage has been almost an hour.... your pal, chenzo

​Howdy Mozzers, I don't see this very often but figured I would share my findings, no surprise that I found a huge portal like rottentomatoes.com ranking for the keyword: new on dvd , but for the last month or so - the page that is indexed for it is their "mobile" view. ( Screen Shot Attached ) I have a few ideas how you could go about fixing this - but just more of a conversation piece - have many of you ever seen such a thing - especially on a portal so big? Your pal, Chenzo ScreenShot2014-12-02at101927AM_zps107789f1.png

I am looking to use a different sitemap generator that can do 5 thousand or more pages at once. Any recommendations? Thanks guys.

Anyone notice a while ago - the "more" drop down used to include "blogs" which really helped with finding like minded blogs for content marketing. Anyone finding this frustrating and or find a solution? I know they supply us with: http://www.google.com/blogsearch Any other hints? Your pal, Chenzo

Anyone out there begin receiving this and or know when it started? Google has recently began sending a new manual action spam notification to webmasters for “spammy structured markup” also known as rich snippet spam. Your pal, Chenzo

So on Tue Dec 17th - 98 Degrees on the Mozcast.com There is speculation of this being a major update. Matt Cutt's denies it of course: Photo attached. I did see some major fluctuations in rankings over this past week. What do you guys think? Your pal,

Should I stop recommending clients to be in yelp? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/yelps-newest-weapon-against-fake-100101689.html

I have been using http://www.semrush.com/ for a long now and am looking for recommendations of another portal of similar - or better? My main concern is being able to pull up all keywords google has given organically to a URL. Any help? Your pal, Chenzo

BloomReach announced a new software product named Dynamic Duplication Reduction (DDR), that aims to eliminate duplicate content issues on web sites. Anyone have any feedback on this yet - seems to go to be true if you ask me. Your pal Chenzo

Has someone filed a large number of DMCA “takedown” requests against your site? If so, look out. That’s the latest penalty that may cause you to rank lower in Google’s search results. It joins other penalties such as “Panda” and “Penguin.” We’re dubbing it the “Emanuel Update” in honor of Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel, who helped prompt it. Read more here: http://searchengineland.com/dmca-requests-now-used-in-googles-ranking-algorithm-130118 What do you guys think MOZERS?

Google said it was rolling out a Panda algorithm last night.   New data refresh of Panda starts rolling out tonight. ~1% of search results change enough to notice. More context: goo.gl/huekfHas anyone been affected yet ....I seem to see a jump in some newer sites less than 3 months old already for some rankings - I don't like seeing rankings that quick!Do you see anything?

For pro members: Is there a way to see exactly what "it" is that is duplicate? Also, what % of duplicate content is required to be labeled as dupped. Much thanks, Chenzo

So is it me or did Google make some crazy changes - The "trends" are no longer anchored to appropriate articles etc... Why do you think they would remove something so useful to us? http://www.google.com/trends/ - check it out for yourself. tumblr_m5jh04D65G1ry8grko1_1280.png

Have you heard about this - you should of by now! Read the full article here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/ My thoughts are the recent updates and those of which that have been undisclosed at this point are closely related to the expanding of the addresses that will be assigned. What do you think? watch?v=-Uwjt32NvVA&feature=player_embedded

So what affect is this playing on you guys? http://searchengineland.com/google-pushes-first-penguin-algorithm-update-122518 It was not to nice to me... Why over the holiday Google, why!? -Chenzo

So folks ...spill it, what are some of your new techniques in building backlinks to your or your clients site? I am sure many have come to a loss of direction as many grey hat techniques have gone very black and now many of us are just confused to what "it" is google wants to see. What is your game plan?

When you are in Error status for Duplicate Page Titles - but it is because of the root domain: Example.com and Example.com/index How to you go about changing the title of the same page without looking un-natural. My client has built his site with the - index file pulling to the root - but the crawlers are seeing TWO separate pages - when in reality they are the same. Riddle me this batman?

I have never been able to use the blogscape function under my pro membership. Is this something that will be up sooner than later? Much thanks, Chenzo
