Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Is there a report I can run on SEOmoz that shows me the page titles for all pages on my website, along with the link to each page?

Had you targeted your inbound links from a fairly narrow resource list?

Even if they are authorative links, I've read a lot of posts to this being a theory that peoples rankings have dropped since the 40 implementations from Google

Just a quick tip.

I wouldn't blindly post product links all over your social media platforms just for the sake of 'trying to affect your ranking' as more than likely it will come off quite spammy.

I would probably focus on more creative strategies of getting people to either share or +1 your posts and pages through unique content, competitions etc.

I imagine in the long run it would have much more positive implications for your main page's ranking.

Do you get followers that are worth engaging with from this?

Doug could I ask you a question?

I've noticed that in the last few months people have attributed their decrease in the rankings to 'being penalised for bad links'.

It is the case that they were previously gaining benefits from those links and that with the recent changes these links go back to 0 influence, reducing their rankings to what they previously were, as opposed to the links having a negative impact on their sites?

You say you have a feeling eMail with links to this homepage could be contributing.

If you have a recent campaign the emails themselves could have been misleading and lead to a decent CTR but then once people hit the page they weren't impressed.

Also have you noticed a high increase in referral traffic from any sources recently? Same principle could apply there.

What keywords are the homepage ranking for? Again people could be entering through certain phrases and then not seeing the results they were expecting

Yeah

I understand that we don't want too many links in a very short period of time as it could lead to being penalised by Google, but at the same time we do need to build a spreadsheet (as you suggested) with directories to contact going forward, and that's one of my current tasks at the moment. I'm figuring since this is being done manually as an on-going process in conjunction with all the other work (so I'm not dedicating that much of my time) then i'm not going to have any infractions w.r.t mass submissions.

Yeah, I was just wondering how to determine which the best directories are whether it was a combination of PA and DA or whether when the PA's are low it isn't worth my time submiting to that directory even if their domain authority is high.

Yeah, we have all our initial content, have optimised each page for the targeted keywords & have made sure everything is how it should be for when we launch the site. Obviously this is an on-going process but we have our initial benchmark for going live.

Hi there,

We're very shortly launching a new website so as part of our link strategy we will be linking to directories found with the Link Acquisition Assistant for various keyword searches.

I was wondering at what point is it not worthwhile submitting to these directories with regards PA and DA?

For example if a directory has a domain authority of 69 but the page authority for the keyword in question is only 1, would it be a waste of time?

Cheers

What's the difference in external links between you and your competitor?

From reading around the impression I get is that the update is removing some link weight from higher PR sites in order to reward sites with a diverse range of backlinks (to try and catch out those with tools getting links from a concentrated source or paying higher PR sites for links).

I think as long as you have regular, quality content and concentrate on getting links from a wide range of website types (that are relevant) then you should be fine.

I think this year it's v.v.v.v important to be active in G+ too once you have the icons set up as Robert suggested.

On G+ there's data that shows how the amount of circles you are in has much more of an effect on G's algo than the engagement from people with you in their circles (+1s on posts) etc (Sort of the opposite to FB/TW)
