Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Lisa,

Thanks! Though the problem is not with the app itself because if I switch the URL from the API one so some other random URLs, it works fine.

I'm using it as such:

chkStr = "https://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/" + domainUrl + "?Cols=68719476736&Limit=10&" + authenticationStr; 
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{

string htmlCode = client.DownloadString(chkStr);
string[] temp1 = htmlCode.Split(":");
string[] temp2 = temp1[1].Split("}");
int da = int.Parse(temp2[0]);
return da;
}

Obviously the call to DownloadString throws this exception.

I'm getting 401 while trying to make an API call via my web API in C#.

When I paste the exact same URL in my browser it works.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks!

HI,

I am planning to launch a new site, and shortly after to move to HTTPS. to save the need to change over 5,000 canonical tags in pages the webmaster suggested we implement inside the rel canonical "//" instead of the absolute path, would that do any damage or be a problem?

Hi,

Someone know the exact differences between the following Google Analytics metrics:

1. "New Users"
2. "User"

Hope to get your support.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Recently one of my regional websites, targeted for Denmark (xxxx.dk (TLD)), received a manual penalty from Google, specified as “pure spam”.

The reason for this (as I suspect) can be the fact that the Danish site’s content, is fully translated from English, on the main site (.com).

To fix that problem with Google, I want to use the “alternate/hreflang” tags on both sites
URL’s (the main and the regional), before submitting it for a second review on WMT.

Following this, I would like to ask you few questions:

1. Is there any RISK in using alternate tags between two sites (a “healthy” site to the one that got the penalty), Can it harm the SEO of the main site (.com)?
2. Once done, Will it resolve my problem with Google? Will they remove the manual penalty?
3. Based on your experience, would you recommend me to rewrite all the content on the Danish site, instead of just translating it (the current status)?

Would love to hear your opinion on those issues.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I have a page containing paid links. i would like to add no follow attribute to these links
but from technical reasons, i can only place meta robots no follow on page level (
is that enough for telling Google that the links in this page are paid and and to prevent Google penlizling the sites that the page link to?

Thanks!

Got a question regarding hreflang tag and specifically about the language part:
If I have 2 parallel pages, one in German and one in English for UK users. for example:

How does google see the “language” part:

1.Based on user language – Google will display this page in the SERP according to what google believe is the user’s language based on the user’s browsers language setting, search query language ect..? in this case the German speaking user in UK will get the DE version

Or

2.The language setting in the hreflang tag just means the specified URL language
So Google will display the EN-GB version in UK both to the English & German user?

If you jave any other ideas - i will be glad to hear:)

Hope I’m clear enough.

Thanks!

Thank for your replay!

Is it have to be a different subdomain or can i place it as a subfolder on au.example.com/

and place the hreflang tags?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have the site au.example.com and I ranked on google AustraliaI would like to be ranked also in Google New Zeland for the same page (au.example.com)

Because they are geographically & culturally close

Can I place href lang tag for both countries and present the same page

The code should look like:

OR should i have create a different page for New Zealand (for eample: http://au.example.com/EN-NZ)

And the code will look like:

What will work better or there is other solution?

Hope I’m clear..

Thanks!
