Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The best approach would be to treat your site like a blog so that each video has the opportunity to be found on it's own merit. you can setup catagories of course so that people can search and filter that way too. Without seeing the site the question is a little too simplistic I could be easily missing something here but I can't imagine a huge home page with hundreds of videos being very user friendly. UX is a crucial part of good SEO.

We've found (and I'd love someone else to verify this) that there is some invisible meta data in JPEGs when they are first created. The name of the JPEG before it's placed in a site seems to have a significant effect on rankings in some cases. Have a play with some meta data editors and see if that makes a difference

Hi there!

It's not uncommon for positions to seem like they are stuck for weeks or even months. We've simplified this step by using open site explorer to study the competition who rank higher than us and see why. We call this a term ceiling and it's based on MANY factors but the good news is one good link can help you break through that ceiling. Hope that helps.

This is probably the most basic of SEO questions which no SEO I've yet met can answer. Analyzing a keyword for a client with the Basic SERP report reveals a lot but at the same time not enough. The term Logo Design (yes bad I know) shows at least 50 companies spending hard on SEO but there is no too in MOZ that can actually tell you why someone with less PA, less links, less DA actually ranks higher than someone else.

Surely you guys out there face this quandary all the time. The why? When you've exhausted everything what do you tell a client? Your numbers and your authority is better than the competition but they still rank higher!

Hi Stacy, I was in a similar position not long ago, but this community and the Moz videos have been particularly helpful. A a fellow amateur I can't really add anything to donford's post but all I can stay is stick with this lot - there is hope! (Moz guide to the basics is a great place to start)

For quite some time now Google and other search engines has cared way less about the domain and focused a lot more on brand integrity. That's why MOZ exists!! Because so many of the other factors rate so much higher than your domain. I have found that with a solid brand and good content the most obscure domain can rank.

Completely drop the whole URL / mirror idea and focus on what matters most: branding / UX and content.

Hey,

Just wondering what tools people recommend for finding out trending content on social media?

Thanks

Thanks guys I'll wait until the month cycles through and see if anything has changed.

Why do you want to delete them? Not sure how this is a Moz related questions to be honest. Might be better for a web dev forum.

We worked with a local blog once trying to get into Google news and one of  the biggest sticking points is the authenticity of the articles coming from journalists. A list of who is writing and their Google + details helped a lot. Until you get accepted no point in updating the Yoast plugin from our experience.

Hi Ben are they 202 or 404?

Hello,

Moz is showing that a site has duplicate content - which appears to be because of tags and categories. It is a relatively new site, with only a few blog publications so far. This means that the same articles are displayed under a number of different tags and categories...

Is this something I should worry about, or just wait until I have more content? The 'tag' and 'category' pages are not really pages I would expect or aim for anyone to find in google results anyway.

Would be glad to here any advice / opinions on this

Thanks!

Hi, It could be hard to organically rank for that term because of all the real estate sites. It may take some work to organically rank there

Hi all,

I've noticed recently a dramatic drop in the number of external links showing in moz across all campaigns (including tracked competitors) Is this to do with the new indexing?

Thanks

Thanks, great answer - will update the template I think

Hey,

Based on the most up to date thinking - what's the best way to approach a link spring clean?

We've got a site with a large amount of links (a few of which look a bit spammy - SEO directories etc)

Also, the brand changed it's name and URL a while back so there are directory/web citations using the old URL and sometimes the old name. The old URL is 301'd but I'm thinking (especially in terms of local SEO) these citations with differnt business names/numbers/web addresses could be particularly harmful?

Cheers!

Hey,

There are few websites such as http://bestthenews.com/ which regularly copy and paste articles from one of our sites onto theirs - along with all the links back to our site.

The sites don't have a high spam score - but I cant imagine these sites serve any purpose (ie genuine readership) other than trying to boost their traffic.

At the moment we haven't done anything about these, as they are backlinks after all - but could these sites have a negative impact and should we be asking them to remove?

We have even had our content copied and pasted by AGDA (Australian Graphic Design Association) - which is OK as the site has great authority so the links are good, however it's still strange that a large reputable organization would just copy and paste articles without notifying us.

Curious to here other experience / opinions on the matter.

Cheers!

Hello

I have a campaign in Moz that shows a new site as having no domain authority and no links.

The site does have links to it, but they don't show up on OSE.

Does Moz count links in the comments section of blogs (or is this counted as social, when the commenting system is one that requires facebook login?) I know blog comments are not great for SEO, I just use them when the post/link is 100% genuinely relevant. The site does have actual links on websites not just comment links, so it isn't showing any type of link.

What is the best way to see the links the site has?

Thanks!

Hi Moz,

We are currently doing SEO for a hand therapy company called the Hand Therapy Group. They rank well, however, one competitor, Sydney Hand Therapy, is ranking higher than them for the term "hand therapy Sydney" (which is one of our highly focused keywords) with three different URLs (their home page, contact page and about page) despite the latter two pages have no backlinks.

I understand why Google might see their homepage as being more relevant because their name is Sydney Hand Therapy (even though the Hand Therapy Group have more backlinks) but why do the other two URLs rank so well?

Any help/info/advice would be brilliant!

Cheers!
