Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Tom.

We were unaware of the bug within G.

Guess that answers it.

So, a follow up question, if I may? We, and I have seen others, have submitted multiple versions of the disavow file. Unless we keep absolute track of these links and domains there is no way to know if the links are indexed and hurting us?

If we have a domain that has been disavowed, but still shows in GWT, how can we tell if it is in index for our site?

Thanks again.

Morning Mozzers,

Happy Presidents Day.

We submitted a disavow file about 4 weeks ago and in GWT saw that our links went from ~20k to about ~1300. Now this was good as majority were dubious at best.

What is strange is I logged into GWT today and see many of the links that appeared to be 'disavowed' are back in our profile.

I do not have any messages from Goog.

Has anyone else seen this?

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Thanks Dan,

I was really hoping of just a general checklist for any industry any blog.

For instance, once a post gets published, the author should:

Promote their post on G+ and FB, and our company Twitter account.

Add the page to their del.icio.us account. Other "bookmark" sites.

Connect with Top 10 "blogger friends" and let them know the post is up.

Promote on reddit.

Do a couple of general searches around the web and see if any other blog posts would benefit from the content you just posted.

etc.

etc.

We could take this list, clean it up, and boom, might have a pretty darn good publishing/promoting list or infografic for aspiring seo professionals....

Hi Kyle,

Sorry for my late reply.

You are correct, and please let me clarify.

We have a team of 2 writers and 2 others who help/manage social, etc. While the social guys are familiar with SEO, our writers concentrate on producing awesome content for humans, not search engines.

What I would love to develop is a simple checklist of basics to help promote the new content. Once a writer completes a piece, each participating member then has a list of activities to help "promote" the content.

Does that make more sense?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Hope your day is super fantastic.

I am working on a new content publishing checklist. Once we publish a new article or blog post, what are the sites/ links/ actions to take to distribute the content and "get it out there".

I looked around on here, but couldn't find one.

Let's start a great discussion and then I will compile the answers and publish.

Something like:

Social:
Facebook
Twitter
G+
Pinterest

Bookmark:
del.icio.us
stumble
rededit

Answer Q's:
Yahoo Answers
Quora

What do you think? Too secret sauce for a general discussion?

Thanks.

Our tags are a little more specific, but I can't see what value they are adding to our site users and thus this seems to be a great solution.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

TGIF. We are getting hundreds of duplicate content errors on our WP site by what appears to be our tags.

For each tag and each post we are seeing a duplicate content error.

I thought I had this fixed but apparently I do not.

We are using the Genesis theme with Yoast's SEO plugin.

Does anyone have the solution to what I imagine is this easy fix?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Mark.

Wow, what a comprehensive response. I appreciate it.

I have also found some more info doing further research.

I will continue to post info here as I find it.

Hi Everyone, New member here, but loving it. I have some questions that I couldn't find the answers to. We are radically changing our site. Over the years it has accumulated thousands of garbage files, WP installations, etc.

We enjoy good rankings for lots of our keywords.

Are there articles/advice/suggestions on how to do this with the least harm to our rankings?

One of the largest concerns is for pages currently ranked and we want to move them to blog posts with a preceding /blog/ in the url. The filename, title, etc. will all remain identical.

the url is www.wulongforlife.com

Sure appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.
