Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have two SEO optimised pages in my website targeting different keywords www.example.com                 <-- main selling page (Pocket Guitar | Guitar Instruments)
www.example.com/index/       <-- 2nd selling page (Guitar Australia | Guitar Perth) Q: At first my website "www.example.com" is ranking on google first page. Suddenly it disappears and the link "www.example.com/index/" appears instead. No matter what i search, "Pocket Guitar | Guitar Instruments | Guitar Australia | Guitar Perth", the link www.example.com/index/ appears on the front page instead of www.example.com. What is happening to my main domain? Should i be worried?

Hi guys, my H1 code is like but Yoast SEO and Google Page Speed keeps saying that i do not have a H1 tag in my website, Is my code wrong? Keyword | Keyword2

Under "http://moz.com/blog/everybody-needs-local-seo" Q) There is a paragraph saying "If your business has multiple locations, you should have a unique location landing page for each Google Plus Local listing." Does it mean that for each of my shop (location), i have to create an brand new google plus page for it? Q) There is a paragraph saying "you're dealing with a single location, then we're talking about your home page - but these elements should also be locally optimized on product and services pages. City and state in the title tag. City and state in H1 heading" For example, if my country is australia, i have to create a page within my website and the it is optimised to the keywords "Gold Coast | Australia" in my 'product and services page'?

Is there a tool in MOZpro where i can check my sitewide links? Is there any helpful articles regarding sitewide links? Im confuse about (1) how to detect sitewide links (2) are they harmful or not (3) how to remove them. Sample Scenario
I have 5 websites (www.sample.com) targeting 5 different counties
www.samplecn.com (china)
www.sampleny.com (new york)
www.samplekr.com (korea)
www.samplejp.com (japan)
www.samplesg.com (singapore) On each website i have a flag logo on every single page/ header allowing users to select the other websites. After 4 months, i end up with 200,000 backlinks from all the other 4 websites Why am i worried: I find myself ranking #1 for a lot of the keywords for the 4th months straight now without doing much SEO optimization. And there are alot of websites below me which have better and more informative site than me. Should i be worried? am i doing something called "sitewide links"?

Im using wordpress and I realise that my sitemaps doesnt update itself when i add an additional page on my website, like a blog post. I have to go to (1) setting > xml sitemap setting > click on build sitemap > save changes in wordpress, and then (2) Export the sitemal.xml file  it to webmaster tools in google every single time i blog. Am i doing it wrong? i feel that all these should be automatic.

Below is a screenshot from the website ahrefs.com (They identify the backlinks to your website), containing 3 results. My website, competitor 1 and competitor 2. My website - I spend a year optimizing my site and doing back links as natural as possible. - Currently #10 in google. Competitor 1 - Low URL rank and Super unnatural back links. - Currently #1 in google. This competitor has 195K backlinks by having 3 seperate websites linking each in their the main header. Competitor 2 - Low URL rank and only 58 back links. - Currently #2 in google. They have been on the top of google for a few keywords for months. And I do not understand why they are #1 constantly. 7NrQ0wz.jpg 7dtAjpf.jpg 7dtAjpf.jpg

or
Q1b: Where can i find the resources to learn about off-page SEO for Google Local Listing? Q2: Is the off-page SEO for google Local Listing similar to off-page SEO for a website? In this case, I will have to create backlinks to my google+ business page? Cant seem to find the answers by googling.

Wordpress.com and Blogspot.com both have high page authority. Naturally i want to have a blog that talks about my website.
And the aim is to create back links to my website. Q: So do I create two blogs and separate my content or should i concentrate on a single blog? Which is better for getting SEO backlink juice?

I read the moz begainers guide and I am confuse over this point. " If i have too many back links from a single site. It's considered too spammy. " Q: I have a blog and it constantly black links to my ranking page, is this considered bad? Q: I have an active forum that I go to and I am constantly contributing to the topic however i will always try to relate back to my website, is this considered spammy too?

I have been reading alot on SEO and there is something confusing about having "Outbound links. External Links." on your main ranking page. Some say that We shouldn't have any out bound links. (from Random website) According to Yoast, we should have outbound links. (yoast.com) we should have outbound links but we should add the "no-follow" tag. (from Random website) Q: What should i do and follow?
If the answer is yes, how many outbound links is an appropriate amount per page?

My website structure www.example.com (wordpress installation number 1)
www.example.com/forum/ (vbulletin installtion)
www.example.com/shop/ (wordpress installation number 2) Each of these individual pages contains a fresh wordpress/vbulletin installation with their individual admin control panel. Am i doing this website entirely wrong? Is my website considered as a single website or does Google classify it as 3 different websites? My Ranking page is, www.example.com, and by blog post is www.example.com/forum/blog. When i do a link within my blog entry to my main ranking page, does it count as external or internal link?

After solving my 404 error, the results in 'link opportunities' are still the same. How do i refresh the site and get updated results?

I cannot add new campaigns. The bar just keeps loading and loading and stops there.

I'm looking at 2 keywords and i have optimized my main page towards it. My website consist of other pages like, "About Us, Contact Us, Testimonials". My SEO title and Meta Description for these pages are just the basic. Q: My question is, do i have to optimize the pages that i do not want to rank? Is there any way to utilise these pages to help my main page to rank?(besides using them for internal links)
