Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

In google webmaster tools my sitemap was not added before now I added sitemap to www.mydomain.com.

I have also add mydomain.com (without wwww) to google webmaster tools so do I require to add sitemap to mydomain.com also?

When I added www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com to google webmaster tools so does google see it as one site or two however I kept preferred domain as www.mydomain.com

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

To avoid confusion I already set preferred domain as www.

Even I performed site verification process by Google webmaster tools.

After doing all above do I require to perform as you suggested.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a website which is initially appeared in search engine as without www. Last week I made changes in preferred domain name that it appeared with www.

In search engine it still shows as without www. I notified to google through webmaster tools that now my domain name is with www but it still shows without www.

I want to know that does it affect in SEO and rankings.

In Google webmaster tools I added my url with and without www however I kept preferred domain as with www.

Do I need to make any extra changes in order to avoid confusion for search engines.

Please guide.

Thanks

Thank you so much for clear answer. It helps.

Hello,

I know that adding many backlinks directly to your money site can be harmful as Google doesn't like it but I want to know that I have a video on each post of my website and my one friend told me that if you add backlinks to your video which is linked to your site than it may be helpful to increase your rankings.

Is it true? Please let me know.

Thanks

Hello,

Before joining seomoz I was desperate to hire seo expert for my website and each posts on my website. I did some research and found some cheap services on fiverr.com as I didn't had huge marketing budget and I purchased some services (gig) on fiverr.com to add many backlinks to my latest post.

Now before ordering this services I was on 3rd page of Google for my relevant keywords but after adding backlinks I am not on first 50 pages for my specific keywords. I admit that when I was on 3rd page the competition for my keywords was about 50,000 (with comma ofcourse) and now it is 186,000 so I do believe that competition is increased but I didn't expect such a drop in rankings.

I suspect that may be Google put my site far behind because of so much backlinks and that too generated within one week. I didn't know that it will cause such a drop in rankings. I even suspect that may be there were spam backlinkgs or linkings which google doesn't like.

So my question is first of all how do I know that is there any backlinks on my website or posts which can harm my rankings and if yes how do I get rid of them.

Please guide me as I want to do proper and genuine seo which google likes and finally my rankings get better.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

I can understand that no software can improve my rankings but what I am looking for is proper instructions i.e. what to do and how to do to get your rankings higher in google or get quality traffic on continuous and long term basis.

Hey David,

Thanks for your quick reply.

As I am complete newbie as far as seo is concerned so I am looking for ways to improve my rankings in Google.

I tried lots of services by other seo company or person but till date nothing worked out. In fact I tried some seo services with good reputation on fiverr.com but no results found.

I am not good in seo, link building, social media marketing and other ways which can boost my rankings and ultimately get quality traffic so I am looking for someone who can help me out.

Lets hope on seomoz I can get it.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

I have joined seomoz today and set up campaigns for my sites. I got reports about keyword rankings, errors, notices etc.

But I am still confused about how to use seomoz in order to improve my rankings.

My point is does seomoz provides any services for improving position in google or simply seomoz provides only reporting?

These reports are good but my ultimate goal to join seomoz is to improve my rankings for my each website and each post.

Please help.
