Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I don't know this is a suitable place for post this question. Anyway I have done it.

According to the Google webmaster tools, Links to your site page. My blog has considerable amount of links, from linked pages (from certain domain names). For an instance please refer following screenshot.

When I am removing unnatural links, should I consider these, links from linked pages ratio?

Almost all of these sites are social bookmarking sites. When I publish a new bookmark on those sites, they automatically add a homepage link. As a result of that, I got a huge number of home page links from linked pages.

What is your recommendation?

Thanks!

Update!

Less than 12 hours my CDN domain de-indexed. Thanks Mark for your support!

A few months ago I moved all my Wordpress images into a sub domain. After I purchased CDN service, I again moved that images to my root domain. I added User-agent: * Disallow: / to my CDN domain.

But now, when I perform site search on the Google, I found that my CDN sub domains are indexed by the Google. I think this will make duplicate content issue. I already hit by the Panguin. How do I remove these search results on Google?

Should I add my cdn domain to webmaster tools to request URL removal request?

Problem is, If I use cdn.mydomain.com it shows my www.mydomain.com.

Thank you Erwan your information. Yes PR is a major factor. Could you please give me a clue to identify spammy sites? You mean copy paste blogs?

Thank you Matthew your information.

Hi all!

I'm going to submit a few guest posts to several web sites. When I'm selecting a blog, to submit a post, I use SEOMoz root domain statistics ( specially DA).

I need to know what is the optimum rank level for select a good quality website to submit posts? Currently I use DA30 or higher sites. Is it a good?

Apart from that, what are the other criteria that I should check? Specially after the penguin 4 update?

Karl!

First of all thank you for your reply. I think it's better disavow the domain. Are there any side effect of this disavowal? That person uses the blogger sub domain (for an instance abc.blogspot.com). Therefore I can't get contact information from the Whois.

Hi all!

I have a self hosted, WordPress blog. Today I accidentally found a one bad site republish my blog feeds in its sidebar.  This blog has cracked software download links, software serial numbers information as well as few legal contents. I think it's is a bad neighbor. And it will cause future SEO issues.

That blog hosted on Google blogspot. Then try to contact the site admin to remove my feeds from the sidebar. But I can't find any contact information. This site doesn't have any social networking  profiles/pages.

How do I block that site re-publishing my feeds? It uses a blogspot.com sub domain, therefore I can't find any who is information.

If I use Google webmaster disavow link feature, what happen when I publish new blog posts? Then I have to re-update the webmaster tools disavow links?

Thanks!

Again thank you so much Dr. Peter for that explanation. It's really worth.

Yes, I can understand what you said. I have combined thespicygadgematics.com, to AandroidGadgematic, because I don't have enough time to update two blogs. That's why I do it. There's no any penalty for the TSG blog.

Yes, Dr. Peter. There's no issue on the home page.

>>>I do see certain exact-match phrases bringing up tons of your pages, but not the actual posts, such as:

I face this issue on certain posts. Some posts are ranking well.

>>>>>Your link profile definitely looks a bit questionable, at first glance. I'm seeing some pretty low-quality stuff, enough that it could be causing you problems.

Most of my blog links are built by myself. All of them are manually created. Could you please give me any clue about this questionable link? You mean some of the social bookmarking sites?

I got the same issue. After the 8th of May, my blog traffic drop nearly 20%. I haven't practiced any black hat seo method. I saw that few other webmasters also reporting the same issue.

Hello!

I wish to use CDN server to optimize my page loading time ( MaxCDN). I have to use a custom CDN sub domain to use these services. If I added a sub domain, then my blog has two URL (http://www.example.com and http://cdn.example.com) for the same content. I have more than 450 blog posts.

I think it will cause duplicate content issues.

In this situation, what is the best method (rel=canonical or no-indexing) to prevent duplicate content issue and prevent indexing sub domain? And take the optimum service of the CDN.

Thanks!

Matt, that site doesn't copy pate my content, they only use shows my blog URL. If anyone click that site URL, it redirect to my site relevant post. So it will be serious issue?

Thank you Sheldon your reply and the link.

Thank Francisco Meza!

Oh my god, I use to to take the advantage of the keyword in SEO. I already used "Android is a trademark of Google Inc." sentence at the bottom of the page. As a result of that, it will not illegal activity. Am I correct? Because I saw that Android Branding guideline page shows "Any use of the Android name needs to include this attribution".

Thanks!

Thanks Matt your reply. It's not belong to me. I think it's an RSS aggregator or something similar site.  RSS aggregator affect my rank? After few days left, hathmaluwa posts rank lost. That site rank well for a few days.

Protect articles mean, stop copy paste my blog post. I think adding canonical links will not help. Yes, I agree with adding internal links, will point back to my site. It will not cause duplicate content issues? I mean if someone copy and published my article on his/here site and link back to my site cause duplicate content issue? Some smart scrappers remove them.

I don't think, if I use Android, as a part of the blog title, it will affect the rankings. There are lots of blogs which use Android as a part of site title but they rank well.

Hello!

Some of my WordPress blog posts aren't showing on the Google search result, even if I type the post title. What could be the issue? Is it my site text selection disabled issue or WordPress SEO by Yoast plug-in issue or something else?

Moreover, if I search some of my post text (article content), I can't see relevant post on Google search.

I use following code to protect my articles. Is it SEO friendly?

.content {
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}

Thank you so much Chris Menke, now my home page again indexed by the Google. You are the best!

Now I have deactivated and uninstalled that plug-in.  After that I clear cache (W3 total and Cloudflare) and fetch as Google bot (on Google webmaster tools). Now I'm waiting for any changes. Hope if this is the issue, it will fix next few days.

Still my blog posts are getting indexed within 3 minutes. Still no traffic changes. It's a weird issue.

I guess this is my site issue. Today I check my site on Yahoo and Bing. I can't find my site on those search engines (earlier those sites shows my site). Can you please tell me what's going on there?

Thank you Chris your reply.

I use that plug-in, because some blogger copy paste my blog post. Therefore I use "WP Content Copy Protection" plug-in.  After I installed that plug-in, my visitors need to enable Java script to visit my site.

I'll try to disable that plug-in.

Hello!

Today when I check my blog site search on Google, I can't see my blog home page. Though all my posts and pages are still on the Google results. Today I published a test post, then it also indexed by the Google less than 3 minutes. Still I can't see any traffic changes.

10th of April (yesterday)  when I perform a site search (site:mydomain.com), I saw my site on the Google search result.

Today I installed the Ulitmate SEO plug-in and deactivated WordPress SEO plug-in. After a few hours I saw this issue. (I'm not saying this is the issue, I just mentioned it). In addition to that I never used any black hat SEO methods to improve my ranking.

Any help really appreciate!

Hello!

This week I used a simple method to reduce my blog Google Analytics bounce rate. My blog all the posts are guides, in order to follow them, user need to download a zip file (same zip file). Otherwise they can't. Therefore I added a separate blog post to download all the necessary files. As a result of that I can reduce my bounce rate from 62-70% to 45-50% level.

Now I'm thinking to open that zip file download page in a new tab. If I open my blog zip file download page, in a new tab. It will again increase my bounce rate? I reduced my bounce rate using that zip file download page.

Thanks!

Thank you matt your quick reply!

Yes, that post explain it well.   Looks like I posted it without searching.

Thank you Thomas Zickell!

I don't think those bookmarking sites are spammy. Some of them are Stumbleupon, folkd, shetoldme, ezyspot.

I have one more question. When I'm getting backlinks from the similar blogs, should I use my root domain or relevant posts?

Thanks!

So bad. I got few backlinks from them. Now all of them are no follow.

Hello!

I have a wired issue. Some categories blog post rank well on the Google, but some of them not in the Google's first 10 page. For an instance if my windows computer related post rank well, but Linux computer related posts not rank well on the Google. After published all the posts, I bookmark them 5-8 bookmarking sites (80% of them do-follow). All of these bookmarking sites have PR 3-6.

What could be the reason? And how do I improve their ranking?

Thanks!

Hello SEOMoz forum!

I have a smart phone related blog, but it's not publish new related posts. I saw that most of my competitors rank well than me, even if they don't have a higher rank on SEOMoz (PA and DA). Most of their post's SEOMoz PA rank is lower than (1-5), but similar post on my blog have higher PA rank (10-15.

Thanks!
