Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Nikos, if you are using wiki and forum in subdomains then surely you should getting duplicate content issue in webmaster because wiki takes first few content of a Wikipedia article and pastes it into your blog post. A link to the corresponding article is also included.

But I think as long as you have more unique content to over power that of a few content of wikipedia article and putting it at the end of the blog, it not being a problem as many sites use snippets of content from others as references.

I suggest you to please ensure that the main page shouldn't link to the subdomains in that case but subdomain can link to main domain. I think in that way your main domain will not get affected.

Well I advice you to read "How Changes To The Way Google Handles Subdomains Impact SEO" post, I am sure you will find solution. Thanks Cheers!

Hi John, I want to tell you that downloading a csv report from open site explore takes time around few days(4-6).But i want to tell you that If you experience these problem after 1 week then just reports it to the moz its probably just a bug that they can get sorted.

Hi Bradussel, Now, today, the first of June, it is possible to add a plus one button (+1) to every website! Google announced that they release it for live use today, after a two months test period. (Yes, you have been able to test the Google plus one button already, but only for search results, not directly on websites.) Read on for finding out how to** add the plus one button to your website**!

How to add plus one button to website

You can go to this page on Google. There is provided a code that you have to insert on your website and your blog on the places where you want the button. It is very simple, just a simple javascript tag in the header of your page, and a custom Google code on the place where you want the plus one button on your website.

This is the code that goes into the header:

This is the code that you insert where you want the +1 button to appear:

That’s it! The plus one button will now appear on your site! Like this you can add it on single pages and posts also in WordPress, but if you want a separate plus one button for every post on your blog page (often front page) you need to tweak it a little more.

One thing to note, you have to be logged in to Google (Gmail for example) for being able to use the button. I added it to this blog now as well, you can try to plus-one this post by clicking on the button, it is on the top of the post, beside the Facebook- and Twitterbutton.

Benefits of the Google Plus One 1+ Button

For SEO purposes I think that the Google Plus One button will be beneficial for website owners and bloggers – especially bloggers who have some built in community that will naturally participate in the clicking of buttons and things. If you tend to get a fair amount of Facebook Likes/Shares or Retweets on a post, you should definitely see results with this new Google 1+ Button.

What we know is that the activity on the Plus One Button will effect search engine results and placements. What we don’t know just yet, is how. As with all things Google.

I do feel that visually, a post that may fall in third or fourth results, but is showing recommendations via the 1+ button, will be more likely to get organic searchers clicking through to the site than a third or fourth place result would otherwise see.

I have better idea. Google +1 was introduce to compete with Faceback. So, we will include the Google +1 button wherever we have included the Facebook button or the places preferable to add a socializing button.

I hope that your query had been solved.

Hi Monique,
it is a delicate content problem!

Hi Karl, as you had mentioned that you want to check the back links  for your website.I would recommend  you to use this tool Backlinkwatch. I had already used this tool.It is the one of the finest tools that I had seen which is free of cost & provides you all the details with do follow or no follow attribute too.

The tools that you had mentioned above was good but not the best. The Google webmasters tools can't help you to provide the list of all the back links & open site explore tool can provide you some of the back links with the anchor text only 3 or 4 because you had to registered yo get list of all the back links.

That's why I would recommend  you to use backlinkwatch tool to get  list  of all the  backlinks  with anchor text & it is of free not any registration required.

I hope that you will found the solution.

Hi Nikos, I would like to tell you about the blog commenting.Blog commenting in fact is a nice way to build traffic to your site, if you do it extensively and in the right manner with lot of focus. But what we see typically are not focused attempts, rather quick jobs where they plug in the primary keyword and write something random irrelevant to the website content. This is not blog commenting, but blog spamming.

For more information about blog commenting please refer to this website.

Hi Authority Sitebuilder, First of all Google doesn't seem to care about these but for users' sake, for the sake of conformity and as a good practice, it is best to do a redirect

from(example)

http://www.website.com

to

http://www.website.com/index.php

In other words, select one URL and stick with it, redirect all others. Make a 301 redirect of your old URLs to your new URLs. Then it should not affect your ranking unless you will do some other changes on your pages As you said earlier that all the back links go to the  http://www.website.com (old url), so it is better to redirects o the new url i.e  http://www.website.com/index.php

I hope that your query had been solved.

Hey Nikos,First of all I advice you that selection of keywords are important before starting any off page activity,It depends on the level of competition of the keywords that you are using. But generally, you have to consider some critical things in making your keywords ranked such as how you will properly target it, how consistent your work is, etc.

After selection pf proper keywords then start all the off page activities:

1. Directory Submission.(Same niche directories)

2.Blog Commenting.(On same niche blog)

3.Back link building .(On same niche )

Hi CommercePundit, A sitemap is a a navigational tool that lists the web pages of a website, which is used by search engines and visitors to help look for pages within the website. Sitemaps are typically organized in a hierarchical style and provide indexing information for search engine bots.

Site maps are very useful for a website. there are 2 types of websites search engine site map and User site map XML Sitemap & HTML Sitemap.

XML Sitemap of a website will be created and submitted to webmaster's console in order to ping the search engines crawler to index the inner-pages of the website. An HTML site map is a page within your site that links to all the other important pages on your site. HTML site map is important, two main reasons i am telling you why?It helps search engines crawl and understand your site, and it helps human visitors browse your site more efficiently

The effects of both sitemap in SEO is also crucial.

Overal multiple sitemaps helps to increase in indexation  & traffic.

I hope that your query had been solved.

Hi KS_,

As you know that Directory submission mostly used by all the business companies for the promotion of their websites or products.

The directory & classified submissions are mainly used for getting listing in all major & useful directories.

The both above submissions are used according to the target area or population.Classified submissions are similar to yellow pages.The most important  thing to remember while doing listing is that it should be of same niche where the listing is to be done. This will leads to indexed pages & rank higher in search engines & it will helps to gain visibility via search engines.

The above both submission helps to increase in sales of products, website presence specially in search engines.These will helps to gain non reciprocal back links from high Page Rank Websites/ Directories.

I hope that your query had been solved.
