Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello everyone,

I have a client in a country that is not listed in Google. Effectively there is no adwords data available... how do I perform keyword research for such a country.

Any suggestions will be really helpful.

Regards,

Yes RangeMarketing... you are correct.

Here is an example:

Hello guys,

One more point has just come up. I did a Copyscape search for content plaigiarism on the website and found that some pages (example the company overview page) has exact same content on multiple Linkedin domains (examples... sa.linked, tr.linked, ae.linkedin...)

does this matter?

Hello there....

Those 187 pages are image pages (or they may just be image files)... as in... nothing on the pages except an image only which is served on one of the site pages.

It does not bring any value to the user and actually doesn't even appear in analytics.

My gut feeling is that google would know this and will not take this as a negative signal. The images dont have a alt-attribute which I have noted and reported.

I am currently doing a site audit. The total number of pages on the website are around 400... 187 of them are image pages and coming up as 'zero' word count in Screaming Frog report.

I needed to know if they will be considered 'thin' content by search engines? Should I include them as an issue?

An answer would be most appreciated.

Thanks guys...

I have over 7 years of experience in SEO. Over 3 in SEM and PPC. I charge $ 50 an hour or equivalent for these.

But I haven't don't this kind of work before.

Actually I gave an interview today and this came up as a contracting project while they review other candidates.

Having said the above. I understand your inputs and am most obliged.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question. Can anyone give me a safe estimate of how much time it could take for a Google Algorithm Update to show its effect in the Middle East after roll out?

Maybe you guys can direct me to a post to read through and learn more about it myself.

Your input will be highly appreciated.

Hello Amelia,

Thanks for your response.

You may be right about the point that google might have rolled it out in this region now... but i would doubt it would take a year for the updates to show effect across the world. I deem it would be faster.

I did know it happened for wikipedia... but i only knew it in theory. Actually this is the first time i saw it and the interesting thing is that if you searched for 'linkedin' the results are normal. But a search for 'link' shows this embedded search feature.

Can this be explained?

Hello everyone,

I found this merely by chance. I wanted to open linkedin on chrome and hasty as I am i just typed 'link'. Wanted google to understand and return linkedin as the first result so i could just click on it.

This is what it returned.

Google allows you to search directly on Linkedin from the results page.

Its quite fascinating for me. I hope my knowledge isn't too outdated.
