After reading the Post by ZOOMPF http://moz.com/blog/improving-search-rank-by-optimizing-your-time-to-first-byte I was wondering if any of you have optimized your TTFB and noticed improvements in rankings.  Have you optimized and not noticed any differences?

As a link builder - I would not pay attention to dofollow vs. nofollow ratios.  Just go and try to get the best links you can, whether followed or no-followed.

As far as the anchors - I would personally allow the anchors to be as natural as possible, so when you ask for a link to a page from a webmaster, don't even include what you would like the anchor to be - just let them pick naturally.

Very strange!!

Is it back to normal now?

What's the link to the product?

I have not heard of one - but if you find one please share with us!  I would love to take a look

Great! Looking forward to it being released as well.

I believe you have it misunderstood - they took action on the pages (on your website) which were benefiting from the unnatural links, rather than taking action on your entire website.

You should still try to target and clean up the unnatural links.

Best of luck!

If you are already enjoying good rankings in the SERPS, I would not worry about this issue. Rather, I would spend your time developing your site more with good content, as well as continuing to try to build high quality links.

http://www.stockfreeimages.com/

http://www.freeimages.co.uk/galleries.htm

And many others.

Search for "free stock images"

Hope that helps.

You have to keep working at adding valuable content, and providing a great user experience.

At the same time you should never be satisfied with your backlink profile.  Keep working on building them - but stick to high quality, relevant, and non-spammy links.

They are hard to get, but worth the time.

I would redirect all variations to www.abc.com as well as REL=Canonical back to www.abc.com.   This should solve you issues.

It is because the MOZ crawl didn't pick up that pinterest page.

One thing I would recommend - on http://www.chicfamilytravels.com/: Your link to "follow me on Pinterest" which goes to http://www.pinterest.com/ChicFamily+/ is a dead link.  Update it to the correct link http://www.pinterest.com/ChicFamily/

Hope that helps.

I agree with Jesse - this would cause major red flags to go up at google.

My pleasure!

Exactly - as Keri explained, they try to crawl the most valuable links.

By linking to the correct pinterest page, you will signal to MOZ (and google) that your Pinterest profile is worth crawling/indexing, and it will gain more page authority as well.

I agree with Ron.  I would not trade links with any random site, especially not one with SEO in the URL.

I would definitely monitor city+keyword.

I would focus on the Page Title, and Duplicate Content stuff first.

The description tag won't hurt or help your ranking, it will just have an effect on your CTR.

Once you go through the Title & Content, start remedying the # of links.

Hope that helps.

Look in OSE: Showing only _rel=nofollow _links from external pages to pages on this root domain:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.sylvaniachurch.com&sort=page_authority&filter=nofollow&source=external&target=domain&group=0

It shows only 17 no-follow external links to pages on your site.
