Yeah, you need to setup either canonicals or a custom robots.txt for this. Unfortunately that's not super easy in Weebly.

I believe some of their templates have a "header code" section that you can edit. If you have that for each blog post (NOT the overall site settings) then just add your canonical to each one.  The canonical should be the main blog post permalink.  This will tell Google that all the other versions aren't the ones you want to "count."

I'd have to find a client with a Weebly to login & check it myself but I do believe you can edit these page by page. Let me know if you want me to take a deeper look.

We've come across this situation a number of times. I have a very strong feeling that your homepage has over optimised anchor text.  If you want to post or PM me the URL I can take a further look but the most common reason I see for this (over & over) is Panda (over optimisation, thin content, poor titles, incorrect canonicals, or anchor spam.)

It can also depend on your site & keywords. If you have an seo company for instance and a page at yoursite.com/seo, that page may rank better for your domain if it also includes the word SEO.  Let me give an example because no matter how I write that, it's confusing.

If your domain is ouragency.com and your /seo page comes up first, chances are it's something I mentioned above.

However, if your domain is seoagency.com and your /seo page comes up first, it may just be that the /seo page is better optimised for the term.

The problem with asking SEOs about DMOZ is it used to be VERY valuable. Now it's not.

But it does still retain some value.  Consider a $500 per share stock that falls to $50 per share. It's going to feel practically worthless but it still has more value than MSFT stock ($43 a share today.)

So the relative value is "massive decline, don't recommend" but the true value is probably "it has some value, is easy to create, but may never go live. It's 20% a $50 share and 80% a $0 never-goes-live share.

Whether that's worth your time is up to you.

bulkping.com

Those two usually do the job. Google (and thus a number of SEOs) suggests pinging isn't necessary but we test & test some more and this works. We've sped up the process many times using this tactic.

I've been well aware for years that Google's stock answer is "no, it won't help."

With the NEW tlds that are out, however, you have to think a bit more. Because yes, .melbourne will help you rank here faster than the same domain .com (it seems to act like an EMD).

I've registered & ranked many new TLDs since their debut. I have tested two with the same domain & different TLDs on more than one occasion and where appropriate some TLDs do rank better than others.

However, .tv is not one of these - .tv is a generic TLD (like .com) and won't affect anything positively or negatively. It's simply "just a domain."  TV is ok to use although I agree with the others - .com is best if you can get it or something appropriate.

Hope that clarifies a bit for you and others thinking about the same thing. Some TLDs help (think .clothing) but the majority don't give any help either way.

Link not working. Are you talking about primedraftarchitecture.com ?

I don't see a single link in Ahrefs for that site and only 1 single link in Majestic.

I can't tell if that's the site you're talking about but if it is, the links just aren't likely cached yet. Ping the directory links and they should get picked up faster.

You're asking a slightly different question than what was answered but let me clear it up 100% for you:

Yes, you're on a subdomain.  Yes, that's not generally ideal if you're trying to rank company.com and you also want blog.company.com   You would instead want company.com/blog (in most cases.)

However, you're on a fresh subdomain, as your main URL. That will work just fine.

In fact, the last time I downloaded the Majestic Million there were over 170,000 of the top 1M on subdomains.

Some famous subdomains you may know:

• maps.google.com
• itunes.apple.com
• get.adobe.com
• online.wsj.com
• news.yahoo.com
• abcnews.go.com
• money.cnn.com

Hope that helps!  I wouldn't worry much about it if you're happy with the uk.com address.

You'll definitely find a variety of providers. It depends what you're looking for & willing to pay, I suppose. For instance, we have a team dedicated to citations (mostly AU but some US, NZ, HK, etc.) Our team does nothing but - so they're efficient, organised and we've built tools specifically to help them do their job faster & with fewer problems/mistakes.

But any old SEO hack can download a list of "top citations" off whitespark and get to work.  Be careful choosing, get a few references or reasons to trust them and you should be ok.  I don't have any specific good/bad examples but beware of those who don't have their own citations in order.

Gosh, that's a HUGE site. Are you having Google crawl parameter pages with that?  If so, that's a bigger issue.

I can't imagine the crawl issues with 500M pages.  A site:amazon.com search only returns 200M. Ebay.com returns 800M so your site is somewhere in between these two?  (I understand both probably have a lot more - but not returning as indexed.)

You always WANT a full site crawl - but your techs do have a point. Unless there's an absolutely necessary reason to have 500M indexed pages, I'd also seek to cut that to what you want indexed. That sounds like a nightmare ecommerce store gone bad.
