I would have to agree with Whiteboard creations here. Create two seperate pages and ensure all the content is unique. This would be a lot better that targeting two keywords on one page in my opinion.

RE: My Guest Blog: Still A Good Link Building Resource?
My Blog Guest is still a good source in my opinion. However, you need to be careful of websites that are just content farming. They are bound to be part of some sneaky network. Before you accept any website to publish your blog, make sure you do an opensite explorer check on them to see if their inbound links look legitimate. You don't want your website to be associated with poor websites.

RE: Slide share and in bound links
Hi Ron,
I believe that slideshare links are 'nofollow' and when analyised with search engine spider they aren't recognised as 'proper' links. However, the content is readable to the spiders. Therefore, for building local citations, including company NAP's can only give you benefit in my opinion.

RE: Question about Google Algo Change on June 26
HI Eric,
I belive it was an update that effected partial match domains. Link the analytics to this tool and it will tell you.

RE: What am i doing wrong?
Hi Bob,
There could be many factors as to why the website is not ranking for that keyword. However, I can give you a few pointers that may help:
- Remove capitalisation of meta title (far too spammy)
- Create more engaging onpage content, with keyword variations mentioned throughout.
- Meta description is far too long (Currently 211 characters, should be a max of 155)
- Many of your backlinks are from non relevant poor quality websites.
- Page load speeds are poor due to amount of images
- You have two H1 tags (The images is being counted)
I would look to get some of these issues ironed out to see if this would make any improvement.

RE: Confused on footer links (Which are best practices for footer links on other websites?)
It depends if you are looking to increase the overall authority of your website. If you are happy with the level at the moment, then yes put 'nofollow' attribute on. I would not say there was a big risk in having it 'followed' as it is an image and not keyword rich anchor text. I would also give the logo, img title/alts that are branded rather than keyword.
E.g.
Hope this helps

RE: Confused on footer links (Which are best practices for footer links on other websites?)
Personally I would go with image or brand name anchor text. I read an article a while back about a UK Web company getting a manual spam penalty for having 'web design location' on all the websites they had developed. They change the anchor text to brand and filed for reconsideration and the penalty was lifted.

RE: Nofollow internal links
Hi,
It is my understanding that having followed internal links will pass on domain authority to specific areas of the website and increase the individual pages authority. If you have them no followed, no/little authority will be passed on to those pages. Obviously, the higher the PA the better the chance of you ranking for specific keywords on those pages.

RE: Should I be deindexing pages with thin or weak content?
Cheers Guys,Thanks for clearing that up!

RE: Should I be deindexing pages with thin or weak content?
Hi Chris,Thats great!
So If I keep them followed, the link juice will still pass on. Do you think it will have a negative impact on the site as a whole, by decreasing the amount of pages being indexed by Google. i.e. Reducing the site size?
Thanks for the articles aswell, very useful!

RE: Should I be deindexing pages with thin or weak content?
Hi Ruchi,
If you look at this website for an example:
http://www.campusexplorer.com/colleges/alphabet/j/
Now obviously, Google doesn't react well to pages that have thin or weak content, therefore what I am asking is would the value of deindexing the page outweigh the benefit these pages are receiving in internal link authority?

Should I be deindexing pages with thin or weak content?
If I have pages that rank product categories by alphabetical order should I deindex those pages? Keeping in mind the pages do not have any content apart from product titles?
For example:
If I deindexed these pages would I lose any authority passed through internal linking?

RE: Are descriptions in Social Media Accounts seen as Duplicate Content bt SE?
Hi Social Engaged,
I believe this has been covered a while back, here is the link!
I also believe it shouldn't be much of an issue as Google will be able to distinguish that they are social profiles and are supposed to be kept consistent.

RE: Why does this website rank so well?
Hi Marcus,
Looking at majestic SEO, it is showing that they have received links in May from Yell.com which are sponsored listings. These links are followed and hold a pagerank of 4. This could potentially be why they are doing so well with only a few domains.
There could also be other factors, but just my two cents!

RE: On Page Optimization Reports for Google UK Grade A - F
Hi Heather, Can you explain further?
On page grader only gives one score per keyword, I don't see how you can receive two grades :S
I take it this is the tool you are using https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader

RE: First Post! Local Electrician Site.
Hi Karl,
Yes it has happened with 2-3 of my clients. I believe the only way to reverse the effect is by either deleting your places listing or creating a subpage as mentioned above.
The only other mention I have found online regarding something similar, is on this forum!
There doesn't seem to be any case studies on this that I can find.
-
RE: First Post! Local Electrician Site.
One thing I would add to what Karl has just said; If you are thinking of creating a places listing and your primary keyword 'Electricians Grimsby' is on your homepage, make sure you create a separate subpage targeting that keyword. If you target that keyword on your homepage and then create a places listing which is then placed on page 1, Google might merge the listing. This means you will loose your organic rank. Obviously make sure you are not duplicating content and meta on the new page.
Just something to consider!

RE: Rankings Drop Penguin 2.0
Personally, I think that the recent updates have targeted non-relevant linking heavily; I read an article somewhere written by the owner of a UK based web design agency. His company website was effected by the updates because they placed footer links on all of the websites he they had designed. When they changed the anchor text to brand their rankings started to increase again.
In my experience, a client of mine had dropped considerably in the rankings. I looked into their linking profile and realised they had blog roll links from several non-related websites (built by an old agency). I had them removed by contacting the website owners directly and we are now starting to see rankings return.
If you want to keep the links on your blogs, I would recommend linking with brand anchor text rather than keywords. I know this may be difficult given the URLs of the websites you have given haha.

RE: Is there Page Link Counter software?
Hi Sida,
Are you talking about backlinks? If so just use opensite explorer, Majestic SEO or Ahrefs. Or just good old Google Webmaster Tools (links to your site). If you are talking about website links, you can use internal link analysis software like Xenu link sleuth.

RE: Google Dancing?
Are you continuously adding new pages to the website each month? If so, you could be diluting your domain authority. So when google caches your website, the pages have less authority than the last time resulting in a drop in rankings.
-
RE: Google Dancing?
You say since a while, how long are we talking? If it is over the last two months you could be looking at a penguin 2.0 issue. If you have no issues with your back links I would do a check for over optimisation on your landing pages. The easies way I find to do this, is by, hitting cntrl +F and typing in the the keyword. Next click the highlight button. This will clearly show you how many instances you have of a certain keyword on each landing page. If half the page is highlighted then you know you need to write some new content.

RE: Title keyword and synonyms in content ?
Yes I agree with Ellison here. There is no perfect % keyword density in my opinion. I generally like to get 2-3 keyword mentions per 300 words.

RE: Diagnose My Google Crash!
If Google is still indexing past page 1 of cat pages, have you gone into WMT's and removed URLs from the index?
