Hi Nikos, if this are sub domains it will not hurt your main side -
sub domains a treated separately.

Harry

Hi Kimberly, if its quality content I don't see any problem in that.

Are u putting the content on your website or are u posting to article directories?

Harry .

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 )

Low search volume means there are not enough searches on that keyword for Google to serve search traffic for your ads. You may sometimes see a few impressions but most of the time a keyword with that label is inactive for search.

In Google trends, the term Search Volume Index is used. (http://www.google.com/trends?q=c...) look at chart.

First of all David you have to check the content that you had copied. It has been checked through various duplicate content checker tool & see the result. If the result is more than 20% then change the content because it affects your site as far as SEO is concerned.

I'm sending you a link  which solves the duplicate content & also contains the duplicate content checker tool.

Hi Marketing Results, As we know that Search Engines measure the importance of a page's subject matter in part, by its proximity to the Homepage. Oftentimes content kept in directories that are more than 3 directories deep are considered of low value and will have difficulty ranking well for their topic.

From the SEO point of view it makes an impact . To see how it creates an impact please refer to this link:

Hi David, First of all I want to tell you about the copying an extract of the article, content from other websites  and using the same content to your own website,this means that it is a breach of copyright. You can only copy material if you have the explicit consent of the originator, or those who own the rights to the material.

Just provided a link back to the originators site doesn't compensate them for the hard work and effort that they put into their work. Some people are cool to share their work.

If you really like something email the author and ask for permission. If you do not want to email the author then write up your opinion about the content and link to it. You can quote them but it should not be the majority of your post.

For more information please refer to this link:

Hello Xee, First of all I would like to tell you about the report that I had analyzed for you for which the keywords are 'chicago bears forum' & 'chicago bears news'. As I had checked the competition on both the keywords that is mentioned below.

Keywords                          Competition                  GlobalSearches                LocalSearches

chicago bears forum          low                                1900                                      1600

chicago bears news           low                                 9900                                      8100

The above report shows that both the keywords are having the low competition. Global searches means that are searches all over the world & local searches means that they are include only chicago city.

I think you should continue with the 'chicago bears forum' keyword only because it has low global & local search volume that helps you to increase the traffic to your forum.

Hello Hawkvt1, Fisrt of all I want to tell you that  the protocols (http/https) are different, they are considered two separate sites, so there’s a good chance to get penalized for duplicate content. If the search engine discovers two identical pages, generally it would take the page it saw first and ignore the other pages.The solutions are described below:

S__olutions:

1. Be smart about the site structure:  to keep the engines from crawling and indexing HTTPS pages, structure the website so that HTTPs are only accessible through a form submission (log-in, sign-up, or payment pages). The common mistake is making these pages available via a standard link (happens when you are either ignorant or  not aware that the secure version of the site is being crawled and indexed).
2. Use Robots.txt file to control which pages will be crawled and indexed
3. Use.htaccess file. Here’s how to do this:
4. Create a file names robots_ssl.txt in your root.
5. Add the following code to your .htaccessRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443 [NC]RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robots_ssl.txt [L]
6. Remove yourdomain.com:443 from the webmaster tools if the pages have already been crawled
7. For dynamic pages like php, try< ?phpif ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == 443){echo “< meta name=” robots ” content=” noindex,nofollow ” > “;}?>
8. Dramatic solution (may not always be possible): 301 redirect the HTTPS pages to the HTTP pages – with hopes that the link juice will transfer over.

For more information please refer to this link :

I'm sure that your problem is solved.

Hi TS pike1, I would not suggest that - because if u are pointing the other Domains to the related content on your "original website page" u will end up having duplicate content 4 that page!

I suggest to setup your other domains like www.leatherrmenschoes.com and rely target on this page (put relevant content!!)  - then u can put some links to your main page - or even if this other domain is getting strong you could redirect it later 301 to your man project! Harry t.

Hi Marisa,

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 Antony, I would seems to be  probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem or a a website maintenance is in progress.

If the site is live and yet you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

• Reload the site directly from the Internet. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
• Temporarily disable your computers firewall and close any anti-virus software that may be running in the background.
• Clear your DNS cache to make sure that it is not an ISP specific issue.
  (Start > Command Prompt > ipconfig /flushdns)
• Switch off the modem, restart the computer, and turn on the modem again. Also clear the Internet cookies and browser cache.

Hello Jeff, I would like to say first that lots of sites have duplicate content problems. For the most part, this is not a huge issue. When search engines find duplicate content they choose one of the pages to list in the index, and then will ignore the other. This assumes, of course, that the nature of the duplicate content is not so bad that it would lead to the search engine wanting to ban you. This can happen if a review of your situation causes them to believe that you are deliberately trying to rank multiple times for the same search terms.

Here is a link that fixes the problem of duplicate content :

Hello Lindz1, Firstly the anchor text is widely considered by leading SEO experts as one of the most influential factors in search engine rankings.  This is supported by search engine representatives.  Why? Because the anchor text shows the search engines what the page which is being linked to is about.

The fact is If there may be NO visible anchor text detract or even eliminate the link value in the search engines.

Hi Prasanth, I want to tell you that when websites are redesigned usually everyone is very focused on how it looks: the layout, the colors, the design-related images and so on. Changing these things usually doesn’t have a huge impact on search engine optimization. Search engines, being blind, don’t care much about what color your site is. They just read through the HTML and catalog the content.

The aspect of a website redesign that has a large impact on SEO is the site architecture. Site architecture deals with how many pages you have and how those pages are organized.

Changing the way your website looks shouldn’t have a big impact on your search rankings but changing the number and organization of pages can have a a big impact on your search rankings.

I think if they are now hosted together  google knows it anyway.

We always take care of this before we set up new projects   (From my experience - we in our projects could not see any difference - I think if your projects are good and have value then it dos not matter if thy are on same IP or not. ( If u going to get different IP - don't do SEO Hosting - google will now that all this IP´s are going to the same location).

Harry

Hi Marcel,
are the websites using the same DNS and do the have the same page owner (same Analytics ID,....)

Then don't think about another IP

Harry

Hi Naghirniac , anyways you should not look at PR - but if u want to implement more languages make sure you do it in the right way. I mean don't use subdomains like english.yourweb.com (if u are using subdomains u will loos all your already build up power of the domain - and you would have to do link building also 4 all this new sub domains). The reason 4 this is that google sees the subdomain as new domain. So if u want to implement new languages try to do it like www.yourweb.com/en/..... so the domain will stay the same and all the link power and authority (and PR ;-))  you build already will stay there!

Hi Naghirniac, I don't think the PR has anything to do with the multiple language.
However, it will increase your Pagerank in localized Google search.

Hi Naghirniac,  Before investing in services from an SEO company you should be aware of the goals you are trying to attain and the audience you are trying to reach. Here are some quick pros and cons of both types of SEO.

Local SEO
Focused on your local cities, counties, states

Pros
Less competitive
Less expensive
Quicker results

Cons
No national exposure
Less overall website traffic
Rank for fewer keyword phrases

National SEO
Focused on your country and global searches

Pros
Increased overall website traffic
Great for marketing a shopping cart of other ex-commerce related website
Rank for more keyword strings

Cons
Long time for results
More expensive
Less quality leads

By analyzing the all above you can proceed with video marketing too.

Hi AshJez , I had visited your website. By observing the website I came to conclude that your website has canonical problem. Firstly I want to tell you about what is Canonical problem.   Canonicalization is the process of picking the best url when there are several choices, and it usually refers to home pages. In brief it is  www vs. non-www.

For more information please refer to this:

http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/

Hi Pinku Ray,  As you know that before doing these Off Page activities we have to select the Keywords. Here keywords plays a major role because without proper selection of keywords these all off Page activities are of no use. Firstly you select the keywords which are in low or medium in competition according to your website then after selecting the keywords apply all these Off Page activity & before doing any activity please check the website where you are doing these off Page activity , the websites should be of the same niche.

After doing all the above activities please check the rank of Keywords in SEOSERP.com weekly to know the exact rank of the Keywords.

Hello Jarno,

Since all the links that are coming to your site are related to the website's niche it should not cause much issue with Google.The links are not being repeated in the content so you have your quality content in tact and a link at the end does not show your webpage like a page full of links. And I agree with Alan that the "at the worse the links will negate each other". Just be careful that your website does not look like a directory for camping sites because then your meaning will change entirely.

Hi Stefan,

Since you have multiple URLs containing same data you have to redirect the extra links to the original URL and to do that you can either use the 301 redirect code or the rel="canonical" in the repeated pages.Deleting might not be the best solution because it would take up a lot of time. Instead go for redirection  of those pages and I think that since there are too many pages to redirect the rel="canonical" would be the right option.And you must do this fast since the original page has already been indexed by the search engine.

Hi Timothy, I would like to say first that regular SEO is needed to keep the pagerank of the site stable. And even if it does change then there is no need to get worried because you can get back on the track very fast. Get some good backlinks, try for guest blog posting on other established websites, try to get your website's link on do follow blogs and also make use of the web 2.0 properties.These activities are capable of changing the site's rank faster than the other means.Get more useful content on your website and then publicize those contents further through newsletters and press releases.Even searching for your website through Google instead is a trick for improving PR instead of typing the entire URL in the browser.

Hey Daniel I would suggest you should optimize the blogs for the keywords that you want.Google does consider the links as strong if they are relevant and some other SEO factors also affect this result.You are thinking on the right track. And its not just you who wants some ice-cream now.

Hey Adam I think the users not accepting Cookies might be comprising the "other visitor" category.And also I have never seen a higher percentage of this category(normally being between 0-1%).Webtrends also has this third category by the name of "Users Not Accepting Cookies"; the other two categories are new visitors and returning visitors.

Yes we can re-use any redirected domain , by simply removing 301 page redirect code from .htaccess. And yes when you do remove it you will need to get the domain indexed again in Google.The new authority might go back to the old site.

I would like to help you through a suggestion. The right approach to gain more conversion rate is to get the target audience to your site. To get target audience to your site, you should select the right keywords for your site. Try choosing those keywords which are best suited to the service that you offer. I hope this is a helpful answer to you.

There might be several reasons why only one page has been crawled by SEOmoz. I think you should visit - https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page

This should shed some light on your problem

Hope you find the solution here. All the best!
