Welcome to the Q&A Forum

OK would it pass pagerank?

I know back in 08 Google started crawling forms using the method=get however not method=post. whats the latest? is this still valid?

Wayyy back when (in the days of yore) Mr Cutts spelled out in a video that page rank is distributed equally between the external links on the page. If there are two links on a page, each gets passed 50% of the available page rank etc. (Perhaps an oversimplification but bear with me).

As a result of this, the company I worked for at the time (this was the dark ages when sidebar homepage links were in vogue) decreed that we would only ever approach a site about a link for a client once, as additional links had little extra SEO Value.

Now you could argue that if there are 5 external links, each acquiring 20% of the power, and your site has 2 of those, you are getting 40% of the power, but lets forget the basic math for a minute.

I have scoured the web and Mr Cutts' videos and I cannot find the answer to my question:

If my site (Site A) has a backlink from SiteB Page 1, and a backlink from SiteB page 2 - does this count as two separate links in the eyes of Google? If the SAME site links out to my site, linking to different pages in different posts, does this give me more SEO benefit?

Thanks for your time!

Yes a "sponsored blog post" should be "no follow"

Just opening this up really - looking for inpiration besides the obvious posts that you see ranking online...

What is the best mid-level link bait case study that you know about which gained 300+ links?

Thanks Dana, I just needed a bit of affirmation really - which you certainly provided.

I believe the brand anchor should be segmented under the umbrella - the difficulty is getting an accurate % that may correlate with rankings across multiple niches - a bit of an algo chase admittedly(well a small part of it anyhow!)

I survived thanksgiving this year! I hope that you didn't feast on any relations.

Thanks for your response (last May - a while back I know)

I re-read your answer and it got me thinking - does OSE only find trusted seed set sites in the eyes of Google? Or does it consider beginning its 'trust' quest journey by what other engines consider,   or humans even??

If google turned on a 'cynical' algorithm - surely it would consider most of the newspaper and media links as 'gamed' - turn these off - reverse the polarities and go to find the far remote honest and unbias independent citations from deeper parts of the web. How does one judge what a seed site should be in each country? Is this a manual choice?

Hi guys, I just wanted to know what your take is on this and whether anyone knows if google has published any info on this.

I am wanting to analyse a fairly large backlink profile. The idea is to discover how far it correlates alongside recent SERPS ranking data (based on anchor text distribution) information that has been published across the web.

There is so much data to categorise and segment. This is due to overlaps in categorisation, (which is possibly a good thing as it appears more natural) though I often it difficult to decide which goes where.

My question today relates to brand anchor text - in determining the % of overall brand distribution for a backlink profile -

Which out of the below do you think rings true?

1.) Should I be considering the homepage url anchor text as a branded link anchor?

2.) Should the brand % just be 'pure brand' anchor text?

3.) Should it contain partial brand + KWD data?

4.) Should it comprise of all of the above elements?

5.) Should I divvy up / segment partial brand, pure brand, brand + kwd, citations etc into new sub categories and see how this individual data correlates to current ranking factors in the SERPS? (Not sure if there is any recent published data in this amount of detail)

Anyway, I just wondered what you guys thought about this in the eyes of Google., and also to find out how you go about classifying and segmenting backlink profile data.

Thanks for now

SEOMoz doesn't crawl the whole web.

SEOMoz find new links every 4-6 weeks on its recurrent spidering paths around the web.

It now shows a link for me that has dropped out - with present technology vs practicalities business-wise it can't physically  go real-time yet

Can you provide a screen shot?

Google places is / has migrated to google+ profile local - I'm sure google places still works as I set one up a week ago. Maybe it's rolled out later here?

As less as you can to get you ranked

OK this seems v strange, but google.ru are indexing far more BLs in their SERPS  for a widget than OSE reports. Very little data is found in OSE for russian based sites.

Is this the marketing intention?

(I could send raw data if needed!)

What is filtering this vast google.ru data list out? Is OSE only catered for US/UK?

Some people can build 500+ links a month from seperate class C IPs

Some people build none for months and then land one from Microsoft after engaging in case studies related to indepth business infrastructures. (for example)

To work out the pace - budget, time scale and competition needs to be identified - it really depends on your objectives.

Is it specific KWD performance targets, or holistic performance?

It's quite a huge topic to answer briefly TBH

According to Matt Cutts, Just make a cracking site and then tell people about it everywhere you go

If it cuts the mattstard then those links will come, and then you can socially engineer your content and community to like you even more and attract more

Its a interesting situation which we will test. we are sectioning off the sites for the language, but i think its a interesting problem around language.

Thanks for your time guys!

HI

I am looking to rank sites in multiple foreign search engines.

I am thinking about the anchor text strategies I need to employ.

My key phrase:

golfschläger (golf club)

I am targeting a German page (written in German).

Would Google understand that if I use the anchor text “golf club” to my German “golfschläger” page, it is infact the same word and therefore give anchor text benefits to that page, or for anchor text benefits to pass does the anchor text have to be in the same language?

thanks for any help!!!!

I have two sites I can get a link to my site on. The first has 10 outbounds all to facebook. The other has ten links to ten different sites. Assuming the sites are in every way equivalent apart from in that way which site gives me more juice if I add a link to my own site?

interesting, thanks very much for your thoughts and time

We have 149 internal links, which could be said to be a lot, but compared to many sites this is not a huge amount more.

So if i put say 300-400 words of unique content on this page that woudl drop that % and threefore woudl solve the problem? what % should i aim for?

Many E commerce sites dont have that amount of unique content on each page?

HI

the domain is rockshore.uk.com

take a page

http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp

it is not coming up for the text ot the page, or the title tag.

This is the case for most internal pages.

i got told rockshore.uk.com is a subdomain of uk.com, and this might have something to do with the issues.

The site ranks well in Bing and Yahoo

hi

i have rockshore.uk.com which is not indexing properly.

the internal pages do not show up for the text they have on them, or the title tags.

the site is on aekmps shops platform.

I understand that a .uk.com is not a proper TLD but i think i have a subdomain of .uk.com

Can anyone help?

thanks

HI Wildner

Thanks for the ideas, i was thinking along these lines. Thanks for your input!

One client (Domain authority 47 ranks for 100s of tough brand related keywords) and had duplicate content on its internal brand pages (the same few 100 words of brand info on each brand page) and was hit badly.

We have other clients in this vertical (Mens designer clothing in UK) , some with duplication have increased in rankings, but they might have a slightly higher Domain Authority 50).

All the ranking drops happened on April 12^th, across all pages which had internal duplication (you can see traffic drops by dissecting brand pages in GA).

We have re written all content and placed it on all pages so there is no internal duplication. All the new content has been there for a month and each page has been cached. No change to our rankings.

Anyone know if the changes they have made have seen any improvements? Surely if this algorithmic then once the algorithm picks up the changes then it re-assesses you and will change your ranking? Surely you can’t now be a ‘marked’ domain???

Does anyone know of a tool which can check the cache date of each page of a site?

i can get each page of the site into a .csv or xml file

Re.  External Links (link-juice) - I really need to know what this reflects.Ie. linkdiagnosis.com divides the PR by external link factors to get an idea of link juice or power - how does Moz calculate this scoring?

If i have content on my site and the same content duplicated on my facebook pages, will google treat this as duplicate content?

At the moment when i copy and paste a line of text from the content on my site Facebook is returned first.

We have noticed a gap as large as 30 places when using UK Google. Interested in whether other people are seeing this and if anyone can offer an explaination.

Thanks
