Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Here's the situation:

There's this website URL.com which is a search engine for a certain purpose (android developers).

In fact, the homepage and maybe the "about" page are the only pages sitting on URL.com, all of the other inner pages (hundreds of thousands) are generated within one main Sub-Domain - X.URL.com

Also, the analytics is tracking only X.URL.com because those inner pages are the only ones to attract organic traffic.

So, in Analytics we see URL.com as referral traffic to X.URL.com

Also, in WebmasterTools under "Links to your site" we see like half a million links from URL.com to X.URL.com

Is this situation normal, do you think it may impact SEO in any way?

Last remark, organic traffic is growing in a great way to the inner pages generated by the search engine, which as said sitting under x.URL.com

Thanks

as i said, that box is already checked

Hey guys!

I know it sounds like a novice question, but I have checked ALL THE BOXES THAT TELL GOOGLE TO INDEX MY GOOGLE+ PROFILE.

It is Visible for search - 100%.

It's been 3 weeks since I opened a Google+ profile and it still hasn't been indexed for its name.

Any guesses what's going on?

(It's not this name so don't try to google me)

So now that the Moz's rank tracker is down for maintenance, I'm seeking a new Webby rank tacker that WORKS!

I need a platform that:

1. is Online.

2. Updates you daily on your client's ranking progress.

3. Notifies you on critical ranking drops.

Please don't offer LA's Rank Tracker as in my opinion it's the worst one.

Vegitt, you should consider the Penguin update when building links.

Please take the following steps:

1. Enter your URL in Ahrefs.com and scroll down to "Referring domains for anchor phrases". Can you see your focused anchor text rated much higher than other natural keywords?

2. Go to SeoMoz's OpenSiteExplorer. Research your links and scroll down to the links with the lowest Domain Authority. Are most of your links coming out of domains with low authority? (20 and down).

3. Go to Google' Webmaster tools. Go to health-Links to your site. Can you see a huge amount of links from the same domain pointing at you?

4. Do you have a Google notification in your WMT account saying that you have an unnatural links profile?

5. Research your website with majesticSEO. go to "anchor text" and see if you pushed too hard on the same keywords.

If you answered YES to one or more of these questions, then you  probably have been hit by Google Penguin.

Reach out to any low quality site that links to you and have it taken off.

Don't build Social bookmark links, they aren't a way of influencing your rankings.

Also, PRWEB doesn't count a good link for SEO because the entire world is polluting it with off page SEO.

Act more natural, use Social media to drive traffic and create unique content.

Regarding your negative links, try sending Google a re-consideration letter once you got the nasty links removed.

Good luck

Thanks, Adam.

I was looking for a quote at the "Learn SEO" section that you linked to, and there isn't any ;\

Thanks, Joram.

So in the bottom line - does Domain Authority also calculates the DA of each inbound link?

Hey Mozzers!

So as I'm checking MozAuthority as a primary parameter to determine if a co-operation with a website is worthwhile, I did notice that it's mainly based on QUANTITY of inbound links.

My question is this: Does my site's MozAuthority calculates The same parameter from each incoming link?

Example:

My site, www.google.com, has 5 incoming links from low MozAuthority domains.

Your site, www.facebook.com, has 5 incoming links from medium MozAuthority domains.

His site, www.yahoo.com has 5 incoming links from high MozAuthority domains.

Will the 3rd case necessarily have a higher MozAuthority than #1 and #2?

White hat methods: Pay for a commercial via TV or radio to convince people to search for your brand+positive keyword.

Ask all of your family, friends or colleagues to search for "your brand+positive keyword".

Co-operate with bloggers and online partners to search for "your brand+positive keyword".

Start a social campaign (FB contest or PPC) to convince people to search for "your brand+positive keyword".

black hat methods - sadly some people take advantage of black hat methods on this one, such as paying for AOL's Mechanical Turks system.

You have a dilemma between two keywords: The Ski and Snowboard services.

Which has more # of searches per months?

Let's say Ski has 2,000 searches and Snowboard has 1,000 searches.

I would go for this title:

<title>Lake Tahoe Ski and Snowboard Rental | Brand name</title>
