Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The same thing is if i get links with kw1 kw2 and i rank high for this combination, but when i search kw2 kw1 it's not the same thing (the rankings are very low compared to optimized anchor text). I think it should be the same thing because there are the same words but in other order.

If that sites rank high, why not keep them as they are? And sale your products through all of them.

The best way to redirect is URL from a site to URL from other site. It's all about relevancy. I mean, you cannot redirect a chair page to a sofa page and take credit and rankings.

Let's say I have a page about houses for sale (which has the biggest number of search queries/month). I want to rank with that page for another variations like house for sale, and house sale.

Now, if i build links only with anchor text **houses for sale **(presuming that Google is OK with that) and i will take top 3 for that KW, i will rank very high too for the other two combinations of words? Or Google treats different plural vs singular and the stop word for.

This is an example based on site for one client of mine. His site is about Hotels in Mamaia (hoteluri in mamaia in romanian) and i build links with anchor text hoteluri in mamaia. For this KW i took pos 4 but for hoteluri mamaia i am on page 9 from Google.ro. These two combinations of words are 90% the same in my language. For you to know hoteluri mamaia has bigger numeber of search queries/month (6 600 vs 260).

Hello!

To not lose link juice from the old URL's , the best method is to redirect old URL's to new URL's. It's a hard and consuming time work, but you will give relevance to all your new URL's.

Another method is to redirect only old categories into new ones, but it is very possible to lose link juice.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Simon for your detailed answer.

I still think that Google doesn't give any credit to those links, because he knows that nobody is that stupid to buy those kind of links to his site. I think Google asks the same question as i do. Why would i buy/place crappy links pointing to my site? What is the logic in it.

I know that if i want to rank high i need lots of quality links, and for the moment it is possible to not rank higher because of those links. I'll see when i'll start to build some links, for the moment i have some big problems on site.

Thanks again.

I have a client with an online shop with auto parts in Romania, on google.ro. The site is quite old but it hasn't good links.

The only links (about 700 seen in OSE) the site have are from porn sites/forum/blogs with all kind of obscene words in the anchor text. Those links were placed by competitors, i am sure of that.

Now how Google treats those links? Does he know that those links were not placed by any normal human? Does it gives credit to them or doesn't?

The site is on a very competitive niche and it is not ranking so good.

Hello guys,

A strange thing is happening to me and I'm interested to hear some advices.I have pentrucadouri.ro who ranks on position 3 on google.com for "cosuri cadou" .

Problem is on google.ro where he is on position 100+ with first page and is on position 20 with an internal page.A week ago I requested a reconsideration from google, and I don't know if because of this but internal page was replaced with main page in SERP but just for 3 days .

There are some profile links to the website, but in last month after I aquired this I builded some good links from romanian websites.

Could be cscart?Could be a penalty? Or just I should wait ?

I'm interested to hear anwers from someone who experienced something like this before .

Thanks!

With directories it's all about getting links and anchor text. Will links harm a site? Never, if they have some quality. If you like the quality of directories i think you should go for it.

For that KW if there are many Ads by Google than the traffic will split immensely between organic results and paid results. I think your KW are very competitive and i would advise you to start investing some money in PPC too for increasing your traffic.

Most of it is non related, and the link is not in footer.

@ Robert - The keyword density os ok for that page. I've seen many sites that have lots of pages linking to itself and a link in header or in footer with the most important kw on all internal pages. I know that it will not boost your rankings but it is easier to place an internal link with the anchor text desired.

@SeoShark - The link is placed in footer and yes, without that link and term i am happy with the density.
