Hi,

Sorry the similar question could have been ask previously but I couldn't get an exact answer.

Someone put a h1 tag on our homepage (which do not have before) and the

is within the top nav. But it has a css style class in that h1 tag to make it appear at the bottom of the page so not everyone would be aware of that small h1 title. I personally do not think that's going to help with seo.

However I want to know if this practice is going to be:

beneficial, or not at all?

or harmful instead?

Thanks

Hi,

What the the most useful long tail keyword tools you use for your adwords?

Thanks for any insight.

Fab! I agree with you just to get a confirmation. I 'll look into it

Hi,

Is there any way that I could find out the traffic source list from a competitor's website within the moz tools?

Or any other insight?

Thanks

Hi,

Moz tools tell me that I have approx. 15xx Pages with High Priority Issues [Duplicate Page Content]

going thru the details here are the majority:

• many products no longer exist and visitor redirected (404) to a same not found page.

• duplicated content with url appended with utm_source/utm_medium/utm_campaign GA tracking paras. On those page there are already canonical tags plus I've configed those parameters in Google Webmaster "URL Parameters"

how much of these warning could compromise the seo proformance or provided that there have been dealt with should I just ignore these warning?

Exactly that's what I am worrying

Hi,

I believe google won't crawl the translated text as it's ajax dynamic text generated from google's server and there is no url different

Hi,

I'm thinking of adding google translate to our retailing site so that we could reach more international customers. what about the pros&cons? Any experience of success of utilising it and what potential issues should I be looking at?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the info above. I've checked the report in MOZ again. Among the thousands of medium priorities many of them are false alarm as they don't have redirect at all when I test. Many of them are 404 (not found) redirects when page/url no long exist.

here is what google says about 404 (not found) redirect:

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409439?ctx=MCE&ctx=NF

It says it's normal and do not harm the seo performance. Do I just ignore the according alarm?

Thanks

Sorry if I didnt explained it clear. When a visitor click on the account page without login they will be redirect 302 to login page to input their login detail. I've seen lots of site using 302 redirect on this.

Hi,

Thanks. How about a 302 redirect to login when visitor click to view the account profile? Do it harm too?

Hi,

It shows that there are thousands of Pages with Temporary Redirect in the moz report on our site as medium priority. How hard do they affect the site's seo performance?

Thanks for any advice

Thanks for the info above. I think I'll find out if I can cut the text and try to put popup link.

Thanks, the info above is quite detailed.

We are not a shipping company those text are just to ensure visitors accordingly. The shipping info is quite long as we want to prompt as mush as we could to avoid customer leaving current page to search.

Hi,

Across the categories/product pages on out site there are archives/shipping info section and the texts are always the same. Would this be treated as duplicated content and harmful for seo?

How can I alter robots.txt to tell google not to crawl those particular text

Thanks for any advice!

Hi, Thanks for the update and the info is helpful

The reason of not paying for content is it because that would turn the post into a form of advertisement therefore it would drop the value to the audience?

Some of the online guest posting sites like MYBlogGuest has a monthly fee is it not considered as paying for content?

Thanks again

Hi,

We would like to attracting more readers onto our blog by accepting guest posting from external bloggers. Could anyone refer any good artricles on MOZ about the best practices on managing the activities and what would be the normal KPIs and ROI?

Hi,

We have build a lot of external link to http://www.oursite.com/ Do I have to do a 301 redirect from http://www.oursite.com/index.php to http://www.outsite.com/?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your update and I followed the link and login to double check again. In the individual location there is still no option on the Goolge+ page. It rather generates a google+ page for me when I create a new location.

I think it doesn't allow us to connect location to an existing google+ page because these are locations not business?

Hope someone could get me some insight if possible.

We operate SEO purely on whitehat and for a popular keyword that we have worked hard for years now we ranks 10th. I have compared us with a few competitors who rank better (ranked 1st and 3rd) on OSE and found things confusing. In the following matrix we are way ahead of them in:

Domain Authority
Page Authority
Just-Discovered     
root domain
total links
Social like/Social shares

All score of above of our site are substantially higher than the competitors. one of the competitors has only one thing better than us:
Internal Equity-Passing Links

plus

It shows that both competitors have lots of low quality links as follow

-forum signature anchor text links where the account no contribution to the forum
-low authority directories links where many of them are overseas and not industry specific
-links from article sites
-link from sites that are in totally different industries

where we only have very a few or no from above

I am thinking if the matrix figures from OSE dont count then what else I should be looking at. Any advice? please forgive me if I chose the wrong support question type.

Hi,

I have the same issue looks like there isn't an option to connect a location to a specific g+ account. I'll update once I've got more info.

Thanks I see, do those link shave any seo value?

Hi,

recently we got some editorial links on some of the articles from a few online journals and I've noticed anchor links all have these similar property within the <a>:</a> Mysite

What does the skimlinks-unlinked and data-skimwords-word means? Are these normal organic links and valuable?

Thanks for your update I'll take a look

Thanks and I'll talk to them. By the way how do I check if a link is 301 redirect?

Thanks for the update! Your opinion is helpful

This was done for seo purposes agreed by us. And they are not press release and the agency do not pay for them. We run a competition managed by the agency therefore blogger came up with articles sharing experience for some thing etc...

The links of those anchor texts look like these:
http://subdomain.mainseosite.com/scripts/click.php?a_aid=nicheLoversNotes&a_bid=05b3a39b

BTW I would not think the redirect is 301 as mainseosite.com is their main business site. And how do I check if they are 301 links?

Before I talk to them I think it might be better double check in this community first as I was given good suggestion previously.

Any opinion?

Hi,

We recently ran a competition through a seoPR agency to acquire inbound links from articles created by bloggers in the niche.

It turns out that the anchor text from those articles (<a href=""></a>) are linked to a subdomain (complex long text url) of that agency's site before redirecting to us.

I am put off a little bit now and want to know if that was a rip off.  Could anyone tell me that if those links are worthy for SEO for us?? What should I do now?

Could anybody can help me please. Any experience is appreciated!

Regard,
Stephen

Hi,

Anyone still using guest blog tatics (sush as http://myblogguest.com/) as an effort on seo? Is that still a valid option nowadays.

Thanks

Hi,

Our blog currently is hosted at wordpress.com and we are planning to move it under mysite.com/blog. I've noticed that at the moment in the existing individual articles there are social likes for the reader to likes/follow the page. And we do have some likes from these social buttons

e.g. in a particular article I receive 4 twitter likes/5 facebook likes from those social media buttons after the article body.

After moving the blog would the articles lose the social likes? How would I manage it not to? I know that there is a wordpress plugin available to purchase: http://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/redirect/

If I purchase it would it resolve my problem? Please help

Thanks!

Hi,

I am going to move my blog hosted on wordpress.com to a folder under mysite.com. (e.g. mysite.com/blog/). I start to think after the blog has gone live there will be duplicated content issue because I am going to import my posts in last 2 years onto the new location.

I what way can I avoid that happen? Can I set something up (e.g. 301 redirect) in my current wordpress.com account? Any advice.

Please help!

Thanks

I have an e-commerce website and a separated blog hosted on different domains.

I post an article on my blog domain weekly. And I copy the 1st paragraph (sometimes only part of it when it's too long) of the article to my home page and a sub-catalog page. And then append it by anchor text "...more" which linked to the article.

1. Is that digest (1st paragraph) on my e-commerce site deemed as duplicated content by Google? Any suggestion?

2. In the future if I move the blog under the e-commerce website would it make any different with regards to this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for letting me know. Would stop it immediately. The reason I am asking is that the way the system shares it make it suspicious.

Does that concept really work. Any experience? I've registered and so far I think it's hard to measure whether the shares are spam or genuine.

Would love to see it works for someoneThanks

I think I get your point which I did not realise before Thanks

so this is what I understand:

[good content] + [wrong site/wrong place] = bad/low value link => not good seo effort.

to be honestly the important reason I wrote the article is to get someone to read it then possibily they would share it with others and have the readers to realise our expertise. and hoping them click thru to our site. Getting back link came second...

If I post the article to my own blog rather than squidoo does it make any different? At the beginning I thought squidoo can make bigger effect

So articles sites wont work in general is that right? And Am I right in thinking that by seeing it's not appearing in report of Google webmaster tool?

On the other hand How do they decide if an article 'deserve a place on a website.' Lots of share/likes?If that's the case should I wait until many people share/like the article before it apear in the report of Google webmaster tool? At that point would I be comfortable to say they become good links?

I believe The article I wrote is useful to the user on that topic/area though.

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

I have written a few articles and uploaded to squidoo/hubpage last month and they have been accepted and I can see the links in the articles. But they dont appear in the latest link report from Google Webmaster Tools.

Is it because it's delay or Google simply wont treat them as valid links?

Thanks

I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was:

when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it.

how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely.

On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks  would this still be a successful article marketing?

How about have some of those linksbecome nofollow, would that help Can someone confirm this?

I will try the approaches you guys mentioned. But I've got another question as I want to measure how successful my effort:

when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it.

I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely.

Thanks for your response and it's inspiring. Looks like it's not straight forward but I will try it

I have been using mybloguest.com and the articles were published by its blogs/websites.

So far the traffics/share/likes from those blog posts they published are very few/small.

I believe the blog post are very useful and unique. How can I promote them so that I get more social likes/share? Any idea?

Thanks

Stephen

Thanks for your response and I will take a look at the url suggested!

From time to time I take a look at competitors'  website and the activities on their social media channel like facebook.

There are many times that their facebook likes increase much faster/more than we do while I havenot been able to figure out why they get likes much more that we do.

Compared with the competitors we have very similar activities: uploading content to facebook daily and have competition every week  and answer every question about our services and have faq session sometime I think our content/information are even more valuable than our competitors.

I think they are possibly doing something more value-added to be able to target more people?

Is that any tools that I can use to get any insight? e.g. some activities that I am not able to see?

Have done some research for last few weeks but I did not manage to findout.

Thanks

We are using press release agency to publish our new products/brands/offers. I realise this would increase our links. Would this be a good method and would those links be permanent? Can I publish as many as I want so I end up with many good links from trust source?

Am I doing the right thing?

Thanks for your info!

Thanks for your info. what is the best tools to evaluate a site's traffic then? I am using this info to decide if I want to advertise with them sometime. Thanks.

The traffic of my website has been dropping since 2 months ago while I am seeing the Alexa ranking is increasing

I know some of our staff need to visit our website( home page and some other front pages) daily to handle some data gathering. But they are from a same ip/office. Would this become a factor of this Alexa ranking result?

Thanks for the response. Could I set some of them to 'nofollow' would that help? As I assume the robot would skip crawling those nofollow link?

How much would this affect my page ranks performance?

There are many Too Many On-Page Links? warning on my campaign. should I address this issue right away to fix it or leave it as it would not matter seriously ?

I've looked at some of the pages and think all of them are necessary.

Could someone help me?

Thanks!

Hi could any body could give me some idea on 'on page optimisation'

Currently in my campaign I have around 3000+ errors, 14,000+ warning, 7000+ notices for the following reasons:

Overly-Dynamic URL
Temporary Redirect
Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters)
Duplicate Page Title
etc...

First of all I know these have negative effect on SEO. Now to fix towards those issues it involve lots of works and times. At the same time most of our important keywords/url rank position have not changed over the last 12 months. Does that mean the above has only limited negative effect? I just want to know is it worthy to invest the man/hour/money to clean those issues. As it involves decent development time.

Is it common to have some of error/warning in most website that rank well?

(e.g. I 've seem may big website have duplicate title/meta-desc on their currency variant page)
