Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dear Mozzers,

I intend to block some certain countries from viewing my website (including proxy), will it affect my Google ranking?

Thank you for your help.

Dear Friends

I hope you can answer my questions. We are launching a new site and on the footer (sidewide) we list all new blog posts (limit 5 links - blog title), do you think we have any problems with that part of the website? I am concerned because all new blog post title will appear on all pages' footer and it will be marked as spammed. We just want visitors to be noticed about new blogs post on our site.

Thank you,Tran

Dear Moosa

Thank you very much, it is a good idea to have guest post on other blog, but it is considered as buying or unnatural linking? should we slow down the speed of putting the content online?

Dear Keri

Thank you! automated here means the API service which we are purchasing (IE: Flight schedule), we also add up more useful information to make it unique, so we strongly believe that the content is not only unique and useful to readers.

My only concern is that: if we are putting too much content in short time (6 months) given we have very few inbound links, will Google put as to sandbox?. We are just thinking that content is KING and that is the only thing we should focus on, then Google will like it. Correct?

P/S: we invested huge sum of money in content, so we are very reluctant on how to launch the website in a good way that helps us with our Google ranking.

Dear All,

I hope you can help me with another question about doing SEO for a large site:

1  - My domain is 11 year old, all time was a parking domain
2 - We have 10,000 articles - unique content (500-1500 words)
3 - the remaining are automated content, however, they are also unique with data (numbers, figure)

We are going to launch it in 2 weeks, and intend to do the following things:

Stage 1: first 2 months - only post 10,000 articles with unique content, NO using automated ones.
Link building: get 5-10 authority links pointing to it, either article writings or link pages (authority links Yahoo directory/Dmoz)

Stage 2: month 3 to 6: gradually put the automated content online while still posting unique and well written articles.
Link building: Start building links with PR websites, article submission.

Do you think there are any problems with this plan? and if 5-10 links can improve our site ranking, given it has a lot of unique content?

Thank you very much.

Dear Kris and Karl

You are totally correct, we may be hit by a penalty which we do not know. Our website is a .com website.

Not only homepage, all of our internal page does not have good ranking at all. I requested a reconsideration report to Google but they emailed back saying that our site does not have any problems with spam/linking or manipulative ranking.

Note: May be our site was hit because I bought the domain from someone else who also built a website before selling and doesnot have any ranking at all.

What do you suggest please?

P/S: our site content is 100% unique, even we write long description for each category, NO duplication.

Dear Mozzers

I hope you can help me with the following problems:

My site is up and running for a year now and may be there has been problem with the homepage, because it ranks on first page for a competitive keyword on Google.com and Google.com.au only, however in other countries it just shows up as internal page and does not rank well.

google.com/Google.com.au: homepage ranks top 10  (example.com)
Other countries (.co.uk, .ca..ect) an internal page shows up, example.com/internalpage.html - shows on page 3-4. I can not find the homepage of example.com anywhere around top 1000.

Can you please tell me what are the potential problems.

Thank you very much.
