Welcome to the Q&A Forum

And here's the place to ask that you site be reconsidered:

https://support.google.com/webmasters/contact/safe_search

I enabled safe search, then did a site:blackcupid.com search on Google. There are a lot of pages that show up as indexed, though I didn't see the home page right off. If I search for Black Cupid, I do see pages from that domain, but not the home page.

I took a snippet from the help page at http://www.blackcupid.com/help/helpcategory.cfm and searched for it in Google, with safe search on. Google is showing dozens of results from similar sites, such as Brazil Cupid and Japan Cupid (then I went to the home page and saw that all of those sites are indeed related).

How are the other sites performing? Do they have the same problem? Have you always had this problem, or is it new?

Any messages from Google in GWT?

Could you include your URL? That could help us out.

I've had some filters block access to strikemodels.com presumably because of the "models" in the URL (it's actually model warships), but haven't had a problem with Google filtering it out.

No, nothing you need to do, except be patient. We had to scrap a couple of index releases because the data was of poor quality, so the last index was released on July 11th and the next will be released on August 26th. sorry about the delay, and thanks for being patient!

Hi! You can crawl up to 3,000 URLs at http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test, and download your errors in CSV form. It won't show up in your campaign, but it will let you get started a bit faster than waiting a full week.

I'm excited to read it!

I do have some more info about the editor in http://moz.com/blog/inside-youmoz-how-to-guest-blog-for-moz if you hadn't seen that yet.

You might find it helpful to go over to http://www.free-online-html-editor.com/ and do your post, then copy the source code.

Also, click on the buttons in our editor. Many are actually drop-downs with options for headings, alignment, etc. even though they just look like buttons.

Actually, #4 doesn't impact the duplicate content checking for Moz.

The short answer is that Google and Moz don't look at images. If you turn off your images, there's not too much different between those pages.

This sounds like the start of a good YouMoz post.

What do people calling the business ask for? The way potential customers describe things can help you figure out keywords, too.

Correct, Moz is not able to see what you have in Google Webmaster Tools.

Then you can be the first to blaze a path, and not have as much competition! Write about the most unusual piece of industrial equipment you've had for sale, explain some of the common types of equipment, explain things in everyday language.

A similar, though not exact example from my life a week or so ago. My husband is looking to pick up silkspan in large rolls and have it cut into squares to resell. The term for this is "sheeting", but that word can mean so many things that it was of no help online. I could find plenty of equipment to do this, but I didn't want to buy something from Alibaba, I wanted to find a service to do this. I finally found one site that actually talked about doing this, and included the magic phrase of "paper converting". From there, I got what I needed.

Even if you don't have the exact same model for sale twice, can you write about the overall category of equipment?

My first stop would e to talk to the person (or people) who answers your phones. What questions do they get? What do people want to know about the product? What do they get tired of answering all the time that you could write about?

Looking forward to seeing what you find out!

I'm not sure offhand, but I'll ask and see what I can find out.

You're right, we did have to scrap the index that was supposed to be released this week.

A little background first. Before we release an index, we look at the quality of the index, data correlation, and a bunch of stuff. This time, the correlations did not match up, and we decided that it would be worse to release this index than it would be to keep with the old index.

We've got a post about it at http://moz.com/products/api/updates.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay.

Yes, this is a little long between updates. We had to make the tough decision to not release an update because of quality issues. We have some more details about what happened at http://moz.com/products/api/updates. So sorry about that!

Hi! So sorry about this. The calendar moved when we switched to Moz, and it's now at http://moz.com/products/api. The next update is August 26th.

I don't have enough knowledge to respond to that question, sorry.

We have a little experience with a name and domain change recently. Ruth wrote a post about it at http://moz.com/blog/domain-migration-lessons that may also help.

One other thing to consider is finding a list of online payments people may be looking for, and add those as negatives. I searched for 'online bill pay directory' and found that Chase has a list of people that they will do a bill pay for at http://chasepayeedirectory.com/chasebiller/home.html. It's in flash and not easily grabbed in text format, but it's a start.

I wrote a post about finding these types of lists and other negative keyword brainstorming ideas at http://moz.com/blog/negative-keywords-for-positive-roi. It may be of help in finding lists of terms to exclude.

Is your campaign set up with or without the www subdomain? If your campaign is set up for non-www and the results you're seeing are on www, that would be the reason (and it's a common reason).

We have more details about our rankings report at http://moz.com/help/pro/rankings. If that doesn't answer your question, it's best to submit a ticket to the help desk and see if there's some type of error. Thanks!

The Moz SEO guide is a good start. Also, I'd run the Moz tools on your website, and use our Help Hub at http://moz.com/help/pro to help you understand the results you're getting and how to help fix up your website. Do feel free to ask specific questions in Q&A, too!

Hi Dana,

I was going through some older questions and noticed this one. What did you end up doing, and is it working for you like you'd like?

We actively try to monitor for spamming comments, but it's less easy to monitor for spammy PMs or people scraping your email address and emailing directly (we have three letters in our name, but we're not one of the three letter agencies!).

What helps us out is if you give thumbs down to spammy comments, and report those PMs as spam. We actively review what's gotten a thumbs down on the blog, and get emailed if a PM is reported as spam.

Hope this helps!

Dr. Pete wrote a post about this warning at http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many that should help give you some background and help you start on this. After you read that, let us know what other questions you may have.

I asked the Q&A associates their opinion, and several people also responded that a 503 would be the way to go.

Can you give us some more details about the shutdown (the reasons, why it needs to be so long, etc)? We can help you a bit better if we know more information.

When we switched from SEOmoz.org to moz.com, we were only down for half an hour, if that. If this is about upgrading, is there a testing server that you can use to get the website rebuilt and tested on the testing/staging server before you make it live? We used multiple staging servers to test out the site and did lots of checks so that we had minimal downtime when it came time to move the site.

Follow the Google Guidelines if you want Google to index your site is my suggestion. I took a couple of long phrases from your site, and found them in several other places on the web. The duplicate content isn't helping, in addition to the things mentioned previously.

No, I'd just wait for it to drop out on its own and not try to inadvertently mess things up.

Harder, but certainly not impossible. I had Google Alerts come up on scanned PDF copies of newsletters from the 1980s and 1990s that were images.

The files recently moved and aren't showing up for the query, but I did see something else interesting. When I went to view one of the newsletters (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2S0WP3ixBdTVWg3RmFadF91ek0/edit?pli=1), it said "extracting text" for a few moments, then had a search box where I could search the document. On the fly, Google was doing OCR work and seemed decently accurate in the couple of tests I had done. There's a whole bunch of these newsletters at http://www.modelwarshipcombat.com/howto.shtml#hullbusters if you want to mess around with it at all.

Hi Markas,

Our community is generally good at answering questions, though this one is a little more broad than most questions, and is only two days old. If you don't get more responses after a few days, q new question that focuses just on one or two specific questions with examples, rather than asking for a general review of your site, may have better results.

With a quick look of your site, I'm seeing search results indexed, and a lot of categories indexed as well. You might look at how many different ways the description for just one country is getting indexed.

Google Webmaster Tools can provide good information about any warnings Google might have for you, and can highlight some issues such as duplicate content (as can the Moz crawl).

Hope this helps!

Glad you love it! They are both custom systems that we are using.

I'm also assuming that you're talking about just a day or two, and not two months. There was a post on Moz last year about this that can also help, in addition to the good info provided by CleverPhD http://moz.com/blog/how-to-handle-downtime-during-site-maintenance

That also presumes Google Alerts is anything near accurate. I've had it come up with things that have been on the web for years and for whatever reason, Google thinks they are new.

I don't read the language, which makes it quite a bit harder. One thing I did notice is that there are still some real thin pages in the index that also look like duplicates. Look at:

http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/nakliye-firmalari/yilmaz-atlas-42
http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/gaziantep-evden-eve-nakliyat-fiyatlari-55
http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/manisa-evden-eve-nakliyat-fiyatlari-37

Looks like these are perhaps error pages that shouldn't be indexed?

It might be best for you to find an SEO who understands your language and is able to help you out.

You can manually crawl up to 3000 URLs at http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test.

As well as the Mozinar Ruth did at http://moz.com/webinars/domain-migrations-lessons-from-the-moz-transition

Thomas, it appears that this is taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1975416/trying-to-understand-the-vary-http-header. Q&A is for original answers; if you are referring to another blog post, it's best to just put a link into the blog post and let people go there rather than copy work (that may be copyright) and use that as your answer. Thanks for understanding!

Hi Carla. There is no additional anchor text assigned, it's just the URL. You are able to change your URL at any time.

Hi Carla,

You can't choose the anchor text for your profile links. Congratulations on being near 200 MozPoints!

Moz has no access to Google Webmaster Tools, so setting something there wouldn't affect the reports you're getting in Moz.

Thomas, I think the voice recognition software botched some of your reply. Could you go through and edit it a little? There are some words that seem to be missing. Thanks!

He's hiding over at http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test for the moment. We'll be working on making him a little easier to find again.
