You can go to
Acquisition>referralsto find out where they might be coming from.I can imagine a lot of the visits are from GA code ghosting which is from sites like free-share-buttons.com etc. these can be filtered out of your reports etc. if it bugs you. Its a bit of a problem of late and bugs the heck out of me. Let me know if it is a lot of spammy looking referrals
You could but I wouldn't recommend "page sculpting" Google knows of the tactic and it doesn't really benefit you. It's better to put your effort into boosting the page via other methods like improving content, link building etc. etc.
To put this into a bit more perspective no-follow were originally introduced for a few reasons but one of them was when you want to link to a site but you don't really trust it, so essentially you're almost saying you don't trust content on your own pages...
tl:dr: I would not recommend it.
It can take time for Google to catch up how long has it been?
Give it a couple of weeks for Google to re-crawl and work out the new home of the page.
Unfortunately its a bit of a waiting game which can be a problem for altering your site I'm afraid.
Hello,
First off - does your old page have value? this could be via links to it, or via the content etc. you may find it its adding value to your site removing it can change how your site works but that is all down to perspective and if you are improving the content aka. value the point is null. realistically is you set up correct 301 any old links etc. will resolve the issue. The problem you may have with 301 if the old page is about e.g. cars and the new page is about bikes the old link profile wont make sense, so be aware of that.
TL:DR
It's preference the short one is as long as you correctly 301 and structure it correctly on the site you'll be fine.
Hope this helps.
Try the two links above, one tells Google the original version and the other who wrote it. Hope it helps
good luck!
Hello,
Simple one but have you tried asking the followers to +1 the page?
You can also post on the business page and get him to share to help slowly migrate it over. The reason its working its because your keeping the effort with that one page make the business page worth +1 and over time it will come.
Like SEO it takes time and you need to connect with people, you can also use the hangout feature which is great for connecting and finding out some stuff from your audience.
Hope that helps a bit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow
Interpretation by the individual search engines
While all engines that use the nofollow value exclude links that use it from their ranking calculation, the details about the exact interpretation of it vary from search engine to search engine.
Google states that their engine takes "nofollow" literally and does not "follow" the link at all. However, experiments conducted by SEOs show conflicting results. These studies reveal that Google does follow the link, but it does not index the linked-to page, unless it was in Google's index already for other reasons (such as other, non-nofollow links that point to the page).
Yahoo! follows it, but excludes it from their ranking calculation
Bing respects "nofollow" as regards not counting the link in their ranking, but it is not proven whether or not Bing follows the link.
Ask.com also respects the attribute
Hi there,
First off this sounds perfect for what you want to know - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en
Now as for TLD's etc. its preference - the bonus of having it on one site is all link juice accumulated goes to one domain rather then trying to optimize 3-4 different sites. You can always secure the TLD and if you need to move the site across at a later date. Whilst a regional TLD does give a minor boost it wouldn't mean much if you've spread yourself too thin across a few sites to really help the site rank.
My recommendation would be get your main site working with the rel=alternative tag in place for sub folders then you can work on moving one language to a new site (e.g. .de) get that site working really well then move onto another site etc. if you want to do that.
Hope that helps.
I agree with Lesley, I really wouldn't use Page rank as your main metric moz has some good metrics or majestic to give you another option.
The most straight forward way is - do nothing: Google's pretty good at finding back links and will find them at some point
Now you can always fetch as Google or submit the link to Google plus or twitter which can speed it up but its is not ideal for larger volumes of links so really just wait it out.
Well rather a few of your back links are really bad and this makes your profile look a bit on the bad side to start with, you can try to use the disavow tool to remove some of the bad links. I also recommend you build some better links to try to help counter.
I also recommend finding your self in the SERP and you can then monitor results from the above.
I'm sure some of the other helpful folks here at Moz will have some dandy advice.
You can use services like Majestic SEO or Open site explored to look at your links to see their quality.
Good luck
As a Firefox user I'm looking forward to the update. Understandable why you've done what you've done though.
Canonical is great for posts that are the same, as these posts are not and they represent different statistics I would say not.
If a user wants to find a review of directories in 2012 then the canonical would stop this and thus the user wouldn't be able to get that.
in short- No
Assume they are using it as an "i disagree" button or they didn't like it or didn't find it helpful etc. Whilst I see where you are coming from I would imagine the thumbs down to be helpful in understanding what people think of posts from a Moz perspective.
As always there is a multitude of reasons of people doing any number of things, you will only give your self a headache trying to work out why people do silly things! Well done to Paddy though
It would work but the content after that e.g http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/property-for-rent/london/houses?page=2 would but lost as they would not be indexed. so if there is content on those pages you feel is valuable might want to look int alternatives however is the strongest content is on http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/property-for-rent/london/houses you will be fine to set that as the tag location.
That's really cool Don, I'd love to see this data over time too.
With out looking at the site the short answer is other pages on your site may be getting links and thus helping your overall site improve but the one page is lacking in links and thus not improving. I'd recommend taking a look at Devanurs links for further info.
Hi Andy,
The bottom tab of screaming frog there is one called "in links" From there it will tell you where the links are coming from to get to that page. Its then just a matter of going to that page and looking for them (ctrl+f)
Hope that helps.
edit
okay Just to go in a bit deeper you've obviously got that as a 302 redirect (I'd swap that to a 301) so thats a bit down to the CMS but you can also find out any links pointing to the urls to work out any juice etc. e.g. that one has links from dig.do. Obviously crawling just that url doesn't tell you the in links but crawling the whole site should reveal internal links that are pointing there if any.
Let me know if it all works out.
Looking at "other" backlink checkers (e.g. Majestic, ahrefs etc.) I can see 15-22 referring domains. OSE sometimes takes a bit longer to get around to finding links etc. You can also check WMT to find link you may have created but cannot see.
It shows 1 DA & PA because it cant see the links. You have to give it further time for it to get around to it. As long as you know you created the links Google will find them and just make a note for your records.
Hope that helps.

So many blog posts about on Moz, there are a couple of helpful places to get you started :
http://moz.com/ugc/5-reasons-why-im-loving-the-new-google-keyword-planner
http://moz.com/blog/keyword-volume-tools
http://www.iacquire.com/blog/the-best-free-premium-keyword-research-tools/
Couldn't you just set it up on a new account ? You can then provide them with the current stats (report) from the account you own ?
Don't forget to give a manual penalty if someone doesn't finish or enjoy it!
Hiya,I wouldn't look at it as a link juice argument as its really aimed at telling the search engine which concepts the original (which can be helpful if e.g you have multiple products etc.). What it can do is help build you up as an authority. Regards to auther credit it depends if they used the rel="author" tag (telling Google who the auther is).
Look at it another way you would use the tags for duplicate content, do you think a search engine would highly rank duplicate content? It would link one copy of the relevant result and you can use the tag to tell it "this is the original content" (i.e the most relevant).
You may find the following helpful : https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394
as well a similar topic was posted only an hour ago http://moz.com/community/q/canonical-tag-refers-to-itself
I hope this has helped a bit for your question, good luck!
Tough one, had some similar troubles most people seem to hire SEO people without knowing (or caring) what we do only that they "should" have some SEO. So normally you have to explain what you've done or what has happened. So you might find out where the organic traffic has some from ( is it a keyword metric they were not expected, a post some where that's perhaps driving traffic etc.)
Now assuming this is update related and you've (and there has been a period of consistency) it comes down to the fun time of explaining it all.
First off that you're not an internet Wizard
It was (if applicable) caused by a update what the update is intended to do why it did it o your site etc. etc.
Now combine with the above it can be what you've done that could of helped this, e.g We updated your local (or created) listings and a new update has helped this promote and thus given you a boost or visa versa this update has come out and you've seen a drop but here is what we're doing to fix it. Now I'm sure about here you're thinking "yeah, yeah I know all this pretty standard"
Well it really comes down to how you want to play it, you could say "yeah: We're internet wizards-high five" or maybe you do some heavy digging and find out that a popular twitter users found some content you wrote tweeted about it and some people have gone looking for your client, maybe its none of the them and you just say "there was an update we've done this for you, but there seems to be more to it.."
To summarize it really comes down to each client, some just don't care some what lots of numbers others just want a quick summary. Most of the time it involves some detective work and looking through page and pages of boring stuff to figure it out and sometime after doing that there is still some head scratching. If organic is up but rankings are down is direct visits etc. its trying to find the good old fun "not provided" link!
Hope my reply was helpful (sorry if it wasn't on track). I'm sure everyone has their own way of dealing with it but I recommend you get one of these and most of the time explaining to the client (depending on their size) like you would a normal person (and that you're not an internet Wizard!)
Thanks
Google bot crawls your site, now Google is very powerful so it can crawl lots of sites quickly
OSE aka Rogerbot he is not as powerful as Google so it takes him a bit longer to get around and crawl sites he tries his best but can't keep up with google so it takes him a bit longer.
So they are both correct, if you want to see all your URLS you can do some of the following safety tips!
1. Always track any links you've created!
2. You don't have to stick to just one! Yes you can combine multiple sites like OSE, Majestic SEO & ahrefs to create a big list of the URLS that are connected to your site.
3 Don't Panic - URLS are not everything that you should be concerned by is you can't see a couple.
Naughty black hat scrapers do that. I'll let you find them as they are good for finding a multitude of things here is the wiki though :

Have you tried the Moz "brands and mentions" tools ?
I would presume the help@moz would be the email they are referring to along with their names @ moz.
"We do one-to-one support via email, our contact form on the Help Hub, and via live chat for sales and billing questions"
I guess its ticket related ?
Hi,
Not sure what you need but if you need to delete a website from your webmaster tools you select the tick box and then go to delete(top) simple as.
If you need to disavow you go to that section or - http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/how-to-disavow-links-0c56a26f
Or are you trying to shut down your account completely ?
The reason i mention it's a good idea to post the article is because not everyone will know the author or its context and it gives them an opportunity to read and if they want comment with their opinion which is what you are asking for.
The comments in that thread are interesting there is also https://www.seroundtable.com/google-news-spain-down-19580.html
I find it amusing that it somewhat backfired in the Spanish government just like it did with Germany and now they are faced with doing far more harm than good.
The term "justifiably alarmed" is just the authors opinion and as far as i am aware i don't know of any governments alarmed, its an age where people want instant news and with no or little cost most of the time via smart phones its not hard to see why papers are going down hill. The main problem is many places that publish "news" are not professionals and normally don't cite sources etc. and can get in some very bad situations but i digress.
if you want to see a prediction check this out - http://searchengineland.com/avoid-liability-google-reduces-news-content-germany-headlines-204811
If the government want to throws toys out of the pram Google has no problems upping and leaving until they come to their sense in my opinion.
Lastly remember this doesn't come in until Jan 2015 so there is still time for change.
As mentioned each software has pros & cons though you only get a limited amount of links to view in the free versions, You can also use OSE as a free option but don't forget all the other goodies you would be missing that Moz offers that Majestic and Ahrefs do not have (perks, products etc.).
Each of them uses a different robot to crawl the internet and some are faster than others which is why they bring up more (they also have more resources) Ahref's is a bit more expensive for what you get compared to its competitors but it come down to preference etc. I'd recommend using the best from each if you can.
in short - like Ahref OSE also has a free option but OSE for the money gives you a lot more options (Moz analytics) Ahrefs just has more power and faster bots but this doesn't make it better just different. Check out Leonie Kramer's link for a great comparison.
Hope it helps.
Hi Karen,
I wonder if you're over thinking this a bit. Lets look at what Google's job is, its to bring the best result back for a users inquiry. Now there are some exceptions to that (like adult content and some pay day loans) but for the most part that rule is true.
Now the question isn't what Google thinks its what the user thinks is there a difference in the user typing 'cheap product' compared to 'product' ? There is going to be difference between the two searches because the user wants to see different results for each one. You can always test this out by going to Google and trying different searches you can then double up your theory by going to ad-words and looking into search volume between the two.
I hope that helps a bit.
Google likes to see you try, its a good idea to attempt contact with the website asking them to remove the links, if you don't try don't expect Google to try either, I recommend send an email to them (try postmaster or webmaster @ )
No response then you can use the disavow tool then when you request your site to be reconsidered you have proof that you've tried.
Good luck.
Hi Nicole,
Just to mention first off my comment's more regarding sub domains more than Hubspot specifically. I'll try to answer your question directly:
Does one lose any credibility or get diluted by putting said blog on a subdomain rather than in a subdirectory folder?
You may loose credibility (or gain if you put it on a sub folder) by the fact a subdomain could look 'new' compared to an existing website but to be honest its nominal in the big picture. As for credibility that's more for the users point of view than Google's (unless you're planning on being very naughty with the site) but with good content and branding this shouldn't be a problem.
There are oodles of topics on subdomains vs. subfolders out there for you to research but try not to over think it too much as it really all boils down to what you want out of it. You can over come most of the problems you feel you may have. Link diluting etc. is only really a problem if you're planning on posting the same content on both domains as they would literally competing with one another but if its unique and useful info they it should rank on its own merit (with some basic SEO/SEM)
If you are unsure or feel inexperienced I'd recommend putting it on your site then you will get a boost from your blog (see Moz example above) without as much work, so unless you want to distance your main site from the blog this should cover you well.
if in doubt do more research, ask more people get all the info until you feel you're all covered.
Best of luck with your blog and I hope it all goes swimmingly.
The thing I always think of in the back of my head is even if the tools don't see it I bet Google does and that is the main thing so as long as you know about the links you can make a note internally and work out and benefit from there.
Hiya,
Google release an update a while ago now called "humming bird" the idea with the update wasn't to penalize of anything but to better understand users search terms as English can have multiple meaning for one search. So knowing this you have to think luxury dog clothes & designer dog clothes are very similar and Google understands this and what it's trying to do it give you what it thinks the best search is for that term.
You can read some more here http://moz.com/blog/hummingbird-unleashed or do some searches and find out more.
Obviously that's a simple version there may be other factors but I only took a brief look.
Hello,
unfortunately you can only have one Login to the Moz account so you have to either let them in or not. Billing wise the will never see a whole credit card number etc. I would question an "SEO expert" that needs to log into your Moz account with out having access to their own or similar service.
In short - You have only one Moz account its that or nothing. I know that sharing accounts and multiple users is on the Moz radar but don't expect it any time soon.
Good luck.
Anything in particular? A quick Google later and you might find this helpful -
Most SEOers are pretty protective of their incomes (having worked to get to where they are) but if you hand around here you get an idea, you can also try the seo (and bigseo) threads on http://www.reddit.com/ which can be helpful. You can also keep an eye on seo forums. Good luck on your hunt!
hiya,
We've also seen a drop (with a small drop in rankings on our clients site) still looking into it. Thought you would like to know you're not alone. Sorry can't help you with the why as we are still looking into it but confident it will bounce back. (this was also along side a link building campaign too!)
Hello again,
So I've taken the time to Google your search and behold -
Meta Title - Designer dog collars, designer dog leads, designer dog ...
URL - www.*****dog.c/
Meta Description - Designer, stylish and luxury dog collars and dog clothes from UK pet boutique Lovemydog, stylish dog coats, designer dog collar and leash, show leads,
You may see that the search term is in fact there but its in the meta description yes its not the strongest but combined with the humming bird update its enough to rank it along with a good domain authority.The reason you want a long tail compared is a short tail like July 4th, all though July 4th may get more searches but the longer tail 4th July Dog Harness get less searches but less competitive and more likely to convert to your keyword.Hope that helps.
Hi Geoffrey,
Sorry to hear it didn't work out with Moz, you can cancel via the billing and subscriptions tab https://moz.com/subscriptions
As for a refund might find it better to drop help@moz.com an email and I'm sure they will sort that all out quicker than you can say "Help me Roger!" or you can try here - https://moz.com/help/contact
Hope we see you again!
No more than 15-30 minutes, no extra divs or anything have been added so its just been added to the product description.
Literally a copy and paste, if you are looking for a new developer i'm happy to cost up any past changes you've had for comparison.
Hi Andy,
adding to Jarno you could bring in your blog if your blog is off site the offsite blog is getting any benefit you may be receive for it. Bring it onto your site and it can help if people link to you etc. Obviously it's good to use the likes of Squidoo to connect with a community etc. just don't put too much energy into it, remembering again any links to it go to the main site and only a small amount of the juice comes to you.
It defiantly sounds like your on a good path, if you can connect to your niche / community the rest becomes easy.
Best of luck to you.
Have you given it enough time to get crawled? You can also submit it to Google webmaster tools to get crawled.
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1352276?hl=en
Little odd I must admit but I'm sure someone around here will get to the bottom of it
that's just an example from the term you mentioned write the meta for users, you want the grab their attention and if you can slip a few keywords in there all the better.
Nothing worse than seeing a meta description or title like
Keyword | keyword | keyword
Its a difficult line as you need to get the balance right of users vs keywords. If you know your content is about only a couple of things then its easier. As you've started you can and I recommend look at your competitors see what they are doing how they are doing it and why its working and most of all learn from it.
Keep going!
Your best bet would be to get in touch with Moz https://moz.com/help/contact (psst try help@moz.com!)
They can sometimes undo it but you should be careful about deleting campaigns, its best to archive them (there isn't really a limit on that) compared to deleting.
am I able to set up a new campaign to retrieve the historical data lost from the one that was deleted?
Nope, another reason to be careful & archive a campaign vs delete.
Good luck!
