Hey guys, Does anyone know what Google's stance is on backlinks that come via a form, WordPress theme or badge. For example if I offer website security and provide badges for websites that are malware clean (with a back link to my website) and 100 websites sign up to my website will this be deemed as bad practice in Google's eyes? Also if I create a free WordPress theme with a backlink to myself? The second question sounds like I'm providing content for a link which seems okay but the first one can go either way. Thanks

hi i got a website www.willowstairlifts.co.uk and I am doing seo for keyword Stairlifts , it was going all good i managed to get it from page 15 to page 4 but yesterday its start going backward it jumps back from position 31 to 61 , i have been very careful in doing on page and also with my link building.

Hey Guys, I'm trying to setup an Authorship profile for a client of mine and I am not sure if I have done it correctly. Here is what I did: I put my clients blog in the 'Contributor To' section on Google + (https://plus.google.com/u/0/116742052385950982723/about) I confirmed my email address on Google + I put the Google + profile link at the end of each article I put the Google + profile link in my user account inside of WordPress One thing im not too sure about is that there is a link to my clients Google + Page (Not Profile) in the footer, will this prevent authorship? Have I missed anything? Thanks!

Hi I was watching this video http://www.seomoz.org/blog/eight-link-building-tips-whiteboard-friday and i wanted to know how to put the excel sheet in Google Custom Search engine? Many thanks

We have a client that is a reorganised business and brand. But a newspaper has posted some negative video and that is coming up on 2^nd position when you type in the client name in google.   The client also paid a company to try and reduce its positioning but no joy yet on that front. The client is now thinking of rebranding his complete business he also have first page positions on his major keywords but the issue is that when a customer or potential customer reads that story etc it harms them and it will only get worse. The worst example being one of our salespeople sold 10 Items to a customer for £*k and before he got home the customer cancelled saying he had read the story on the internet!! Also our competitors use it in the home to rubbish them all the time. The market this year has been very tough for us and its half what it was last year What would be your advice please ? Should we go for a brand new site with no association with the current brand name? Or how can we remove that one site negative video, we have contacted the editor who has refused to take off the news by the way that news was posted last year.

I was working on the structure and content on the new site and I set the robots.txt to disallow. When i finished i set the robots.txt file to allow again but its been a week but someone the changes are not been index in google and when i check the cached it say 404 error in google, i think the robots.txt file it ok but not sure why my old pages got indexed and why its taking a long time for the new pages to get index. On webmaster in my sitemap it show 26 submited and 1 index, and on block url it shows that it has downloaded the robots.txt file 12 hours ago. i cant figure out if there is some issues with the site , Can anyone have a look at it please. http://www.willowstairlifts.co.uk/robots.txt

Hey everyone So I created a new page on a WordPress website, it was live for a few hours till I changed my mind & switched it back to a draft. Just out of curiosity I did the Site:www.example.com/Example search on Google to see if it had been indexed & apparently it had but when I click on cached to see what time it got indexed at exactly it's showing me an error. So does this mean it is indexed or not?

Hello, On May 19 , 2012 Google webmaster sent notification "Google Webmaster Tools notice of detected unnatural links to " both sites haven't  lost any ranking or traffic as yet. I am worried, Should i panic,what should i be doing , will it be going down anytime soon? how to naturally build links?

My Website ranking went down mid of april, I sent a Reconsideration request and the reply was : “ We reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google. If you've experienced a change in ranking which you suspect may be more than a simple algorithm change, there are other things you may want to investigate as possible causes, such as a major change to your site's content, content management system, or server architecture.” My site was classic asp and i change that to a new word press theme I change the site structure and created new fresh content on the entire site focusing on user experience. But still no positive result in the ranking. I further did a test and created 3 new landing pages that target long tail keywords with low competition. Once these pages got indexed the start appearing on first page for couple of days and then gradually the started to go down in ranking now they are not in the top 10 pages. Now someone told me to buy a new domain and start fresh before i follow this route  I would like to if anyone could help me  should i buy a new domain  and start fresh or should i wait till i start getting my ranking back My link profile according to open site explorer is 190 links from 74 domains and domain authority is 31. Can anyone help please

Hi, Google.co.uk is ambiguous at best, it is geo targeted for the UK, however, by default all results incorporate "The Web" meaning outside the UK. If a user wishes to filter to "Pages From UK" then they have to click that specifically. Now my clients regularly ask me whether the traffic they are getting is from Google.co.uk (The Web) or Google.co.uk (Pages from UK) In analytics it combines these two as single source = Google.co.uk without any further breakdown, is there a way to figure this out. If I can split the figures then I can run necessary additional comparisons etc. Regards Ausaf

Today  i am searching for backlinks in OSE but it cant go to result pages, can anyone help me why OSE cant work today.
