Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Earlier I had a forum as sub-domain and was mentioned in my main domain. However i have now discontinued the forum and have removed all the links and mention of the forum from my main domain.

But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.

Thanks Chris.

In terms of their tactics, they use article spinning, which we all know will not work in long run.

The one question is around the type of Drupal sites. Lot of these are from non-English sites, covering cooking, imperialism etc etc. whereas the links are to an online coupon site, and seems irrelevant. I would think that the domain/type of blog would play a role in passing PageRank. Further, they have thousands of links (using Scrapebox) I believe, as they have single user create these links.  Source of this information is Ahrefs (and Open Site Explorer) data. There could well be other things that help them, and we dont see it.

My biggest question is does posting high quality content to High PR Drupal blog help.

Thanks again for your valuable inputs

Recently, we noticed a website in our site rise higher in SERP shortly after launching. The key strategy they are using is to Blog on High PR Drupal Blogs, which allow you to create profile and write articles.

What does the community here think of such tactic.  Is it a grey area, or considered a White Hat technique?

Keri -

Has this been fixed. Cause I still see the same issue for us.
