Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I did a little tweak in my case, i edited the comments template and remove the link on the comment author names.

If it is in the comment body you will need to do it manually or via sql

I have also noticed a slight increase in my avg traffic on one of my site. so not very sure yet. lets see

Cross linking between own sites isn't a bad idea. but its good to keep the anchor text different.

I wouldn't consider this a bad idea i am doing it myself.

Since you mentioned there is no duplicate content, i think its all cool.

Not like that for me.

i am seeing different. probably region differences

and yes it is possible. if you search for the exact company/site name.

Always welcome :}

Long tail ones arn't really helpful for me as well. like you said.

the thing is we can get all this data from google analytics and webmasters if checked thoroughly.. so yeah this tool isn't really helpful

Hello,

Take a link of the article/page which got the link in bottom as you mentioned,

paste the link here : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets in this page, and test it. if it verifies then its fine. if not it will show you where the problem is.

Hope that helps

Well yes its not as good as i thought at first.

what it is good for is :

• Long tail keywords ideas!
• shows realtime search keywords
• sends a report of total keywords in email with which users reached the site

That's all what i gathered so far :}

If you are asking for stuff related to seo of your site don't miss.

• title
• meta description

Hello,

My site is designzzz.com if you will search in google the term : designzzz

it use to return sitelinks below , but now it isn't, what could be the reason ?

cheers

Hello,

Had a bad experience making 4 subdomains , PR dropped from 6 to 5, search engine traffic fell drastically.

now i redirected them to sub directories.

so i suggest go with sub dirs instead of subdomains.

Hello,

Best and common practice would be to keep the better ranking pages and remove the ones are not.

Also put 301 redirects to the ones you removed towards the kept ones.

hope that helps.

Hello,

You can use it ofcourse. here is a sample :

 Albuquerque, 
      NM 

See full article with examples and code usage here : http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176035

hope that helps

Great, thanks alot dude :}

Devanur,

I got this stopped couple months ago as i wasn't feeling comfortable with that at all.

At firs ti thought of adding a 301 to new urls. but then i noticed. 301 mvoes the g+ count as well.. so ofcourse it won't work.

oh well lets see how it goes now.

thanks for all the help

Thanks Devanur.

But this leaves me clueless now what should i do :{

i need to undo these penalities i am suffering from.

Hello,

I have been in contact with a smo to optimize my site for search engines and social media sites. my site was doing great from last 4 years.

but suddenly it started dropping in ranking. then i came and joined seomoz pro to find a way out.

i was suggested to categories content in form of subdomains ... well that put a huge toll on my rankings.. thanks to suggestions here i have 301 them to sub directories.

Now another huge question arises. i found out that my smo guy was taking artificial votes or whatever youc all them on twitter, facebook and g+ ...twitter and facebook's are understandable but i am getting to think that these votings on g+ might have affected my site's ranking ?

here is a sample url http://www.designzzz.com/cutest-puppy-pictures-pet-photography-tips/

if you scroll below you will see 56 google plus 1s...

now the big question is, i have been creating genuince content. but nowt hat i am stuck in this situation, how to get out of it ?

changing urls will be bad for readers.. will a 301 will fix it ?  or any other method.

thanks in advance

All right, thanks Keri :}

but the problem in my case is that for example tags like font, brushes. doesn't have there seperate categories. like font related posting goes under freebies categ and brushes related posts goes under photoshop category . Photoshop categories lots of types of postings like tutorials, downloads, brushes, actions etc.

What i am concerned right now is that if i noindex tag pages. how will they affect my pr and rnakings of these pages?

Or if i nofollow them in meta tag, how will that effect ?

Hello, I am using wordpress and on some of my top tag urls e.g : http://www.designzzz.com/tag/brushes/ there is an avg page rank of 4.

I was reading somewhere that my huge jump in not selected count in index status in GWT is becuase of tags/categories urls.

So i added disallow in my robots.txt for the url /tag

What sort of effect will it have on my tag urls rankings or PR ?

Thank you so much,

ofcourse i will do keep you updated :}

cheers

Hello Devanur,

Thank you so much for the insight and pointing me to the right direction.

i did it like you said. please take a look and tell me if everything is fine.

http://coding.designzzz.com is now pointing to http://www.designzzz.com/coding/

http://wordpress.designzzz.com is now pointing to http://www.designzzz.com/wordpress/ ofcourse with 301s .

same goes for all other subdomains :}

I am curious how much time will it take for my traffic to start getting better?

thanks again

Hey Egol, now that you mentioned this about content, changing the content of the focused pages will help or its just useless, what do you think ?

I am working on changing content of few pages which stopped ranking, what i mean is i am just re-writing the text in the articles.

will it be re ranked with the new content?

hello, You can put a 301 redirect on one of the link to the other (which u prefer to be used), that wil fix this issue.

Hi, but will this update the statistics in my pro tools craw diagnostics ? as i see this one will send me a csv in email

Hello,

for my campaign designzzz.com the crawl ran today, and next crawl is after a week. but unfortunately when the crawling was in progress i had a little issue on site which added lots of 500 server errors and other notifications.

So is it possible to re-run the crawl ?

If you are using Yoast for seo, there is an option which redirects the attachment pages back to the original post page :}

if not , then you can use your robots.txt to block off these attachment pages :}

hope that helps

Hello,

Thank you so much for the suggestion. as i have wordpress installations in subdomains i am not sure it will be easy to do teh redirect because of paths issues. but yeah i am gona try that.

Some people said that google now treats subdomains as subdirectories so that might not be the issue so i am confused.

About moving content from domain to subdomain , nop not really. subdomains got its own original content.

thanks again.

cheers

Hello Everyone,

I have been running www.designzzz.com from lats 3 years now. and was doing extremely good with a PR 6 and 800K+ traffic monthly, but 6 months ago it started falling and falling badly.. now i am down to 350K total impressions :{ per month.

I have been blaming penguin for this and been talking to google reps continously over it. they assured me that my site is not under any type of manual spam etc.

Then i begin think and i realized taht was exactly the time when i launched a few subdomains as sub parts of my site like coding.designzzz.com , wordpress.designzzz.com , photograph.designzzz.com , shop.designzzz.com in the making...

now is the part that i can't undo these subdomains.. what should i do ?

my search traffic is almost killed.

I seriously need insight on this guys :

thanks in advance!

Ayaz

That's funny coz twitter:description and OG:Description are two different metas, not the same as description

Hiz,

if i click on the mozbar button in chrome it shows me in red that this page contains multiple meta description tags. please see screenshot attached.

while if i vew source of my pages it only contains 1 meta description. can anyone check and verify please.

cheers

Hello Zora, yes i have around 11k pages.

About search, wow how did i missed it. on other thought that page consists of google search. i am gona change that and see how it will turn out.

thanks alot :}

Hello,

After the penguin update my site slowly suffered loss in traffic. and now from daily 15K-18K its droped to 8K. (6K in weekends)

I have been trying to find out what the reasons are but i havent got any good luck yet been few months now.

I noticed this change in the GWT tho :

Not selected in index status significantly risen up. please see attached image.

My site is Designzzz

i am continously fixing errors and problems shown in the seomoz pro tools.

If you guys can take few mins to evaluate what could be the reason for such drop i will be thankful :}

cheers

Hiz, you can use google disavow tool for this : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main?pli=1 as stated by matthew.

you can get a general idea here : http://chlooe.com/seo-review/autoglassrescue.com

If you can post the url here i can give my opinion.

I am glad to be helpful :}

cheers

Like paul mentioned, htaccess redirects are faster compared to a wordpress plugin.

but if you a huge number of redirection required on pages/posts then go for the plugin.

hello paul.

Full website update effects rankings thats for sure.

But the question is will the effect be positive or negative. I re-designed my website 8 months back. and made some mistakes in the code section..  well i was trying to be a ninja and converted it to html5/css3..

yes my rankings + pr dropped .

on the other hand my rankings improved on a diffferent project of mine where i optimized my site in a better way like reduced loading time, no code/validation errors. Better focused and related content. Improved titles etc.

So you will have to consider multiple things before you go in such a huge update.

Why change urls over and over again, keep both do different keywords testing liek A/B testing.

if you want to change even though. why not put 301 to 1st and 2nd generation towards 3rd? so both redirects at 3rd now as it will be your live one right?

Hello,

You can setup your wordpress urls to end with .html as well so you can keep the url same.

If you use other sort of permalinks, then yes it will be considered as broken link. but you can put a 301 redirect using htaccess and can prevent loss of link juice and broken link issue :}

My suggestion would be to keep .html strucutre for urls even in wordpress. but u want to switch use a 301 redirect!

hoep that helps.

take a look at this, it will help you activate automatic canonical hopefully : http://drupal.org/project/canonical_url

Hello again, you are missing the point this code is needed to be added in the head area of your source code, what is your html like

It is not a part of content/text etc.

Hello,

are you adding it in the head area of your html right ?

Hello Sanket

Thats exactly what i had in mind and i kept dofollowing the links as credits.

Thanks for clearifying!
