Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So what is the best solution to fix Bing issues besides their disavow tool?

That is probably the issue.  Bing needs to really make better disavow tool.  Going one at a time is horrible.

I am running keyword reports and I am seeing several sites that have taken big hits in Bing, but still are OK in Google.  Anyone else seeing this?

So I used Outbrain and I liked it, but I think it would be more valuable if you could target the state where your client is.  Outbrain targets the entire county, which might not be valuable for a local client.  I am wondering if there are any other sites like Outbrain that allow you to target locally?

Thanks Cyrus.

I was hoping the community would have a little more experience with link builders on the preferred list, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So you don't think a single Moz preferred partner is any good at link building?

Does anyone have any experience with some link building companies on the Moz recommended list?  There are a lot of them on there so I would like to hear from you if you have used them and what type of results you got.

Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys.  Sounds like you both think using location pages is still a good way to go as long as you are not trying to fake having a location where you do not.

I have a client that wants to rank for a bunch of locations around his primary location. Say 30 minutes away.  So we created a bunch of pages for cities around his location.  So far it seems to be working pretty well.  That said, I heard from someone else that Google really doesn't like these type of pages anymore and that we are better off with just one location page and list the areas we server on it.

What are your thoughts and experiences?

Because I wasn't very impressed with Moz Local.

That is a question I am sure many of your have been asking since they launched the product several weeks ago.

Cemper claims they helped get a penalty removed in 3 days by using this product.  Sounds great doesn't it?  Maybe even sounds too good to be true.  Well, here is my experience with it.

We have been working to get a site's rankings back up for several months now.  While it has no penalty, it clearly got hit by the algo change.  So we have been very busy creating new content and attempting to remove as much "keyword rich" links as possible.

This really hasn't been working very well at all, so when I heard about link detox boost I thought this was the answer to our prayers.  The basic idea is link detox boost forces google to crawl your bad links so it know you no longer have links from those sites or have disavowed them.

So we ran it and it was NOT cheap.  Roughly $300.  Now, 3 weeks after running it, the report only shows it has actually crawled 25% of our links, but they assure us it is a reporting issue and the full process has ran its course.

The results.  No change at all.  Some of our rankings are worse, some are better, but nothing worth mentioning.

Many products from Link Research Tools are very good, but i'm afraid this isn't one of them.

Anyone else use this product?  What were your results?

I haven't been able to get a definite answer on this question.

My recommendation would be to try some Primary | Brand  some Primary | Secondary | Brand and some descriptive using the keyword.

Measure how they perform.

I will say I emailed Rand not that long ago and he said Primary | Secondary | Brand is

"Not a bad way to go generally, just make sure you're also writing in such a way that's appealing to earn the click in the SERPs"

Looking at your page, i am not seeing an H1 or H2 tag.  I would consider adding those in with your keyword.  Something like "Doll Houses and Accessories"

I would also get rid of so many outbound links in the text at the bottom and try and move that text higher on the page.  It looks like it is only there for search engines, so move it up and make it useful to your customer.

Also, your title tag needs some work.

Instead of "Dolls Houses 12th Scale Dolls and Accessories | Hobbies"

Try only" Doll Houses and Accessories, 12th Scale Doll Houses | Hobbies" -- note i didn't check the length here.

Hope that helps.

I have not heard of that until today.

Looks like it is brand new.

Thanks!

So I have a site right now that isn't ranking well, and we are trying everything to help it out.  One of my areas of concern is we have A LOT of old blogs that were not well written and honestly are not overly relevant.  None of them rank for anything, and could be causing a lot of duplicate content issues.  Our newer blogs are doing better and written in a more Q&A type format and it seems to be doing better.

So my thought is basically wipe out all the blogs from 2010-2012 -- probably 450+ blog posts.

What do you guys think?

I don't think it will harm the site SEO wise since Google will not read what is inside of the frame. To Google it is basically a blank page.

I would agree with you on 301'ing it.  Or if it is being used for marketing purposes I would use it as a landing page and then link off the full site.
