Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Agsin,

You can make rank the domains with multiple dashes. But usually domains with more dash looks spammy to users. So they may not click on your website even if it ranked on page 1

Thanks Aleyda, I read your article it was very informative and my confusion has been sorted out

Dear Mozers,

We are creating a mobile version for a real estate website. We are planning to dynamically serve different HTML on same URL.

I'm a little confused about the on-page optimization for the mobile version. The desktop version pages has lot of text content and I strongly believe that made us ranking for various keywords. Now if I'm creating this mobile version do I need to serve all the same exact text content on the mobile version too?

I found zillow.com using the same method, their desktop version has lot of text content and mobile version is clean without any text. Does this affect the sites SEO anyway?

Please help, share your thoughts.

OK Gary. Thanks

Dear Mozers,

We have a Drupal site with more than 200K indexed URLs. Before 6 months a bad website migration happened without proper SEO guidelines. All the high authority URLs got rewritten by the client. Most of them are kept 404 and 302, for last 6 months.

Due to this site traffic dropped more than 80%. I found today that around 40K old URLs with good PR and authority are de-indexed from Google (Most of them are 404 and 302).

I need to pass all the value from old URLs to new URLs.

Example URL Structure
Before Migration (Old)
http://www.domain.com/2536987
(Page Authority: 65, HTTP Status:404, De-indexed from Google)

After Migration (Current)
http://www.domain.com/new-indexed-and-live-url-version

Does creating mass 301 redirects helps here without re-indexing the old URLS? Please share your thoughts.

Hi Keri, here I given moz.com just for an example. I just meant any trusted website

White hat tiered link building is a great strategy but what if someone mixes both white hat and black hat tiered link building together?

For example

1. moz.com/my-guest-post ---[Linking To]--> mywebsite.com
2. 10 Domains _**---[Linking To]--> **_moz.com/my-guest-post
3. 10,000 Domains _**---[Linking To]--> **_10 Domains
4. etc..

1. audiobooks.com

User-agent: 008
Disallow: /

(Tells 80legs Robot to stay out of the website)

User-agent:*

(Tells all other robots to visit all files of the website)

  2) audible.com

```

Just go to example.com/robots.txt

Hi Daniel

I think its pretty simple

Hi Bernard

Don't worry. I guess since August 2012 Moz has some access issues to Google Adwords API. Hope the team is building a better replacement for this.

Read this for more info http://www.seomoz.org/q/loss-of-google-adwords-api 

Hi Keri, here I given moz.com just for an example. I just meant any trusted website

Yep! https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool

Just go to example.com/robots.txt

eg: http://www.facebook.com/robots.txt , http://www.seomoz.org/robots.txt

It will take 1 week - 4 week to recover the value from 301'ed URLs

I remember when Rand Fishkin 301ed his old domain to http://moz.com/rand/ it took 7+ days for him to recover

See Rands tweets regarding this

Hi James

Hope you are planing to target users for different languages or countries. You can achieve this by adding rel="alternate" hreflang="x" annotations in sitemap

Using rel="alternate" hreflang="x"

Using rel="alternate" hreflang="x" anotations in sitemap to tell Google that there is different versions of same website exist on the web. Otherwise Google will consider it as duplicate content  and block it from SERP

Example Steps

• For your German version of your website create a sub-folder like www.example.com/de/

_- Now you need to create a XML sitemap for this and you can name it as _languages.xml

_- Upload the sitemap and tell Google where it is located _through Google Web Master Tools
