SiteKit by google will help you to get insights from search console directly. Have a try guys
Neil Patel recently posted about the BERT search update. What do you make of it and should I be worried?
How should I change my content creation in response?
When I search for my group's business Facebook page, we don't show up in Google but a local competitor does and under their name our page shows up as a "related page". Is this something we need to edit in Facebook or is this Google just doing it's best to direct a person to a similar page. Or...is the person that manages the other Facebook page using our LLC as a keyword so searches direct to their page. I'm new to all of this so hoping you pros can drop some knowledge on us...I don't want to post the page names here but would be happy to DM someone with the page names.
Is there a change on this I was not aware of? I always knew big G can alter the SERPS based on your IP, cookie, ad data, yada yada.
But when I was doing some KW research on different browsers, my signed in was giving me 125 SERPS on page one and the non signed in was around 15 organic listings.
I never alter my settings in my G profile. Just found it kinda interesting. I do not think there is any extension running that would alter it either.
Ya'll getting the same experience?
Looking for a SEO specialist who can rank a shopify or Wordpress website on google with a proven track record. The business is in the cannabis industry. You either know what you’re doing or not please don’t bog me down with 21 questions. Please be reasonable in your fees/retainer. Thanks
For instance, is there a tool that scan a website and point out that for keyword A, the business can go to this forum or that work with that blogger or this go to this other blog post to ask for a backlink etc.
I am the guy who asked should we published 80+ articles for the new website.
I know that quality is so important, and we are focusing on a lot of long-form content pieces at my company that's really contributing to overall traffic growth. But my company wants to know... if we increased our editorial budget by 2x, would we be able to get 2x traffic growth from what we saw this year? Or is there a point we would see diminishing returns.
I could have sworn Google made a statement (maybe John Mu) that quality is more important than quantity, and for the life of me i can't find it anywhere. Has anyone seen/heard this? It's a long shot, but figured the community could help. Trying to back up my argument.
Thanks!
What do you guys think, does Google treat these search queries more like transactional or more like inspirational?
For example, when the user types " vacation", does Google want the top result to contain more inspirational (tips, sightseeing, landmarks, activities) or transactional (bookable offers)?
Or you think that G decides based on the user history?
We a lawyer Youtube channel consisting of FAQ videos and educational material. What's the best way to promote/advertise these videos to a targeted work force that might need legal help.
Thanks a lot
Do i have any control over what keywords my site ranks for?
I know we can create content to try and rank but I noticed some keywords I rank for are bring my site down. How do I fix this issue?
I don't think I can unless I just edit the the content.
The client wants to rank for "Veterinarian + City".
But it sounds weird to not spell the title like "Veterinarian in + City"
Will they rank for the main keyword if I include "in" in the title?
(Does Google understand that they are the same or whats the proper way to go about it)
My website is in cryptocurrency niche and the keywords are ranking on first page in Google and few on second,third page. But my main concern is traffic!!! Earlier we use to get around 500k traffic but now after being on first page for particular keywords traffic is not that increasing. Like it increases by 20 - 25 k. Few months ago we were not ranking on first page but the traffic was good.
Since we started ranking on first page there is no spike in traffic graph it's stable. On few occasions it rises then back to same level.
So can anyone help me out. Should I fix the on page or should I provide more off page things (links,social bookmarking, infographics)???????
Is it impossible to rank a non-mobile-friendly website in 2019? Just by doing little SEO here and there.
Hey we have a post that fits well for search intent for a certain keyword. However, it isn't ranking mainly (I think) because the URL and title don't match said intent.
I'm confident the reason is the URL because other posts of ours compete well for terms in this niche, while this one particular post is nowhere to be seen. Also the keyword isn't particularly competitive.
What would best practise be here? Change the URL so it is optimised better? Or write a new post with the URL we want? My only worry about the second is that the content would end up being similar to the original post.
Cheers!
Please suggest any good tools (both paid/free) or methods you follow for competitor analysis.
it gets about 1-2 hits per day, I have only 10 articles, should I work on it, or quit? because I don't have money to invest on backlinks or paid ads
Who is the person/job title who manages content creation, hires writers, edits content, plans content, etc...
Examples include:
Any other ideas?
I asked this in /r/marketing too, but I respect the opinions of people in here so that's why I'm posting something somewhat off topic. Thank you!
Site A (numerologyrelationshipcompatibility.com): only about numerology relationship compatibility.
Site B (secretsoftheuniverse.com): covers numerology, astrology, psychics, tarot, alternative medicine, etc.
Site A has the advantage of being more focused (if that is even an advantage) but lacks flexibility. I would have to put astrology articles on another site and this would split my Domain Authority and make link building more labour-intensive.
Site B is very flexible and can cover all kinds of information in the mumbo-jumbo industry. Site B is also one collective pool for Domain Authority.
I think Site B is the best setup because getting link juice for multiple domains is time-consuming. However I have heard others say Site A is better because its keyword profile isn't as diluted as Site B's.
What do you guys think?
Hey, so I'm meeting with a potential client who owns a VR arcade in a sort of off-campus mini-mall/ apartment complex. I'm confident in my ability to rank for keywords but I'm not 100% sure how to tackle a place like this. Anybody have experience in this field or have any ideas?
Most of the pages were getting excluded as "soft 404" or "crawl anomaly". Even though none are "not found" type of pages or "low content" pages. And there weren't any server outages for the crawl anomaly.
Google seems to take pages with discussion threads full of unique content and declare them as "soft 404" or "crawl anomaly".
Then, I added all my content urls (threads/posts) to sitemaps and submitted them. Then, I used GWT to to submit validation for those soft 404/crawl anomaly pages. And now pages either get back into "failed" mode as "soft 404" or "crawl anomaly", or simply increase the "excluded" count.
So now I have 140k pages in index. 908k pages excluded (two months ago it was 750k pages excluded and 231k page in index). Of the excluded pages, 616k "discovered currently not indexed" and 214k "crawled currently not indexed".
There are other pages like, 53k ?page with redirect" or 15k "blocked by robots.txt". I don't count all those auxiliary pages, like user profiles, error pages, missing posts, etc. I only want to get the content-bearing pages indexed.
I checked all technical aspects. The server is working. I moved hosts recently. And the legacy crawl stats report shows time spent downloading went down from 150ms on my old host down to 30ms on the new host. It fetches about 30k pages per day (according to that same report). But it stopped including content. And most of my content has been removed from the index.
In the past, I could pick any thread, copy a sentence and search for it in the quotes and I would see my page in the serps. But now, only as tiny part of the forum content is indexed.
Any ideas on what to try to do about this?
I have a client located in Canada. They have a .com site that covers Canada and the US. And they are growing thier list of distributors, so they they had the .com site translated to Finnish and have put up a site with a .fi TLD for the Finnish distributor, and they have another copy with a .co.nz for New Zealand distributor. They are in the process of nailing down more distributors in different countries, and they want to keep doing this, copying the site and hosting it in the specific country with the distributor contact info etc.
What are your thoughts on this? Would it be better to have one site with various languages in sections?
Most web design agencies include a link back to their site at the bottom of the footer. I get why, and it makes sense. However, isn't this detrimental to the web-agency's SEO?
The specific example where I think it's potentially toxic is when a web design agency's hosting sites for their clients and the referring domain looks to becoming from a single IP (because it's their server). Now, these are all different sites across various genre's, but it's still coming from the same IP. Isn't this a negative as far as SEO goes?
One additional question: SEMrush lists these types of links as "compound" and all coming from a single IP. Given this, wouldn't it be better to not list at all, or maybe only list the link once on the homepage?
Sorta rambly, I'm sorry, but not sure how else ask.
Hello everyone!
I’m doing some research on the best, free directories online to use for SEO backlinks. Any suggest?
Thanks!!
I have an idea in my head of the perfect SEO team structure but everywhere I have been and looked I've felt members of the team take on too much. This is clearly a resource issue (everywhere) but I was wondering how the teams you guys are in are structured.
My current team:
Head of Organic
-Copywriter
--Backlink Specialist
--SEO Account Manager/Tech SEO/ CRO <- Same person
Ideal:
Head of Organic
-Strategist/Account Manager
--Copywriter
--Backlink Specialist
--Tech SEO
--CRO
Title says it all...what's the best tool to upload a list of backlinks to monitor them for indexing? A somewhat similar question, anyone know of an indexing service that does both?
Everyone everywhere says reduce image file size, but it's hard to find anything on a specific size to shoot for. I get that this may be because it's an issue of the lower, the better, but still -- is there are target you aim for? I've been trying to keep my image file sizes around 50kb, but not sure if I should be going even lower.
So I am writing articles for my blogs and also want to include some graphics on my blogs. The question I have is, if I am selling something but also giving general information that would lead the viewer hopefully to buy... would it be best to make my pages as all blog posts or blog pages? Does one versus the other count for or against you as far as Google or the search engines are concerned? I mean if I have article thats 3000 words I don't want to make the view scroll that far to see the next content piece.
I ran into this case today: one of my clients (software company) started using a different structure.
Current situation: The website of people that are using my clients software point to the main site in this way:
Website of software user A -> subdomain-a.client.com -> client.com
Website of software user B -> subdomain-b.client.com -> client.com
Future situation: The clients get a piece of code which enable my clients software using an iframe. This stops their website from pointing to client.com
In the future situation a lot of backlinks to hundreds of different subdomains. Does this affect the SEO of the main website ranking?
I would like to hear your thoughts :)
I have a service based business that serves a local area.
I'm at the top of the 3-pack with the map for searches around the area I cover, which is wonderful, however I don't even show up in the organic search results - at least not in the first 6 pages I checked, because they're full of national companies and blackhat SEO (links from crappy sites with terrible content, that aren't even in the same country or the right language)
Is there any reasonable way of improving my organic search results? I can't get relevant backlinks because everybody relevant is either a competitor or a supplier or manufacturer who won't do links.
Should I care? If I'm at the top of the 3 pack, is there an advantage to showing up in the organic results?

I have migrated from my old domain to the new domain. I need template to reach the website linked to my old domain name. Please help me!
Hi,
i migrated my website from Jimdo to Wordpress in August. My website consists of some static pages, the rest are news entries in form of multiple weekly blog posts. Now I have the following problem:
My static pages are recognized in Google Search Console as mobile friendly, but not a single of my blog entries. The Mobile-Friendly test by Google itself is positive for every blog entry and doesn't cause any problems. Meanwhile I have already switched the complete blog to AMP in order to achieve more performance on mobile devices - unfortunately still not a single post in the Search Console is recognized as mobile friendly. Regarding the switch to Google's mobile first indexing policy, I assume that this is the main reason for my bad ranking since the migration.
I'm slowly running out of ideas :-( Do you have any suggestions what might be the reason?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I've just finished a fairly simple design for a WooCommerce store on Wordpress for a client. Page sizes are around 700kb to 1.6mb, three products, very few images, very few plugins. Page load times are 6 - 8 seconds. Speed tests don't show anything huge to blame except for looong wait times, for the page mainly, and then around 1.5 seconds for wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments, which I can't de-enqueue because most of the site is based around the shop.
Am I right in thinking here the issue is the server speed? Is there a way to determine this for sure?
TIA
Can anyone suggest me how do I increase my keyword position? most keywords are ranked on 2nd page.
Thanks in advanced
I want to see when a user in another subreddit mentions our subreddit. Lately we've been pretty active spiking into high double digit numbers and I want to try to find where all the traffic is coming from to possibly promote more?
Hi guys, I’ve been tinkering with the SEO for an online tshirt company using Yoast and to be honest I’ve been struggling a bit with the key phrases and meta description (maybe chalk it up to brain fatigue this time of year)
Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions for either that will improve my SEO? Do I include the brands unique name or keep everything best practice?
Someone showed me a map today that indicated the ranking is of client site for a certain keyword by distance - e.g. within the top 5 at location, #12 five miles away etc. Couldn't see which software that was. Can anybody tell me?
Thanks
I'm getting major different in results on Semrush vs Neil Patel's Uber Suggest. For the same website, both set on the US search only, it will say one website has 84,000 backlinks vs 1.2 million backlinks. I noticed all the data for multiple websites is off.
What's up with that? Am I doing something wrong? Or is one site way more accurate than the other?
Thanksss!
Hey guys I'm super new to adwords it's my first time running one. I'm trying to run 2 different ads about the same content, 1 tailored to city a and one tailored to city b.
My question is would I set this up as 2 different campaigns or under one campaign with 2 different adgroups pointed to each location if that is possible?
Thanks you for the time and help!
I am growing a content writing company and overall all is going pretty well, you know, with ups and downs. I have started a phase where I am leaning away from cold email marketing and focusing more on developing the foundation of my website design and SEO. Now, a lot of websites have tons of different pages, e.g 'how it works', 'what we do', 'contact', 'pricing', 'work examples', etc... Why not just put it all together in one simple and brief page. Cut the BS and condenser everything into one solid page (with the exception of a few random pages like privacy policy and also blog articles which I will be posting frequently to rank and backlink to). Thoughts, comments? What do you think... Is less more?
I make YouTube videos on online games. There's gaming websites like miniclip.com and Crazygames.com that pay me to link their websites in the description of my videos. These websites feature games on their website. For example, slither.io is a game that you can simply look up and play on your browser, but they hope that players will play slither.io from their website instead.
They obviously like the direct traffic that comes from my viewers due to the link in the description. However, this does not generate much traffic so I'm assuming they are paying for the boost in SEO that comes from linking the game from their website. How much of an impact does this link have on SEO? Is there a major difference on how much this benefits them based on the amount of views the video gets, for example, 10k versus 100k views?
Hopefully this made sense and any insight would be helpful, thanks!
Wondering if I'll be able to index the same if I just create my own Table of Contents with anchor text. Or do I need to install an actual plugin?
Reason I'm asking is RankMath is saying that I need a TOC even though I've manually created them in my posts.
My client offers a tool for public relations and has a blog where there are many posts written around PR. There are a couple of posts that are very high-traffic, but are off-topic, e.g. about backlinks (without reference to PR), digital marketing vs traditional marketing, etc.
The posts aren't super off-topic because they're based around internet communcation, but they're still a long shot away from PR. We aren't getting any leads from these posts.
What's the best way to proceed here?
Deindex?
410?
Add a bunch of ads on the pages and get some extra $? (lol)
301 to something else?
Backlink exchange?
Thanks!
It's understood there are many factors from a whole site that influence ranking. But, what information is there that shows how much single page SEO efforts are beneficial over site-wide SEO campaigns?
I remember reading that Google is more keen on single pages rather than whole sites. I can understand that logic in that they are returning results (SERPs) for a specific keyword.
So is it pointless to care about keywords peppered throughout a website to reinforce that keyword/campaign or just focus on single page efforts?
Firstly, I think I understand what this percentage is. It's the ratio of external links that are "follow" -> compared to the links that are "no-follow".
Four questions:
1) This is definitely not accurate! I have loads of no-follow links
2) Does anyone have ideas or techniques to add more healthy no-follow links?
3) Am I completely misunderstanding this?
4) Will this high score negatively affect my ranking?
I could definitely use some help. Thanks so much in advance.
I don't think my website address should help to answer, but if you need it for context, it's estatediamondjewely.com
Has anyone ever seen this? If you do a search for "nextgen lifelabs" in google everything looks ok but when you click on a link for them it redirects to a pharmacy. It actually looks like it is going to the right site but redirects you. But if you type in the url nextgenlifelabs.com it takes you to the correct site. I am getting them verified with google search console now just curious if anyone has seen this? Thanks
Ok, so I have a Blended Data source setup. It is a filtered view of the Analytics view combined with an unfiltered view of the same Analytics view.
I have data for the entire website, but need to segment by percent of sessions based on the filter view.
So using the blended data I do (sessions*1) and it comes to 7,481 sessions. When I do (all sessions*1) it comes to 291,742. However, when i do (sessions/all sessions) it comes to .77 the answer should be roughly .025 or 2.5%.
What am I doing wrong? Expressions works fine in excel, is this potentially a bug?
When I launched my first website way back in 2010, I got lucky with the first movers' advantage and had to do almost no external SEO except on-page SEO to get my pages ranked. Because there was so little content in my niche, Google just lapped up whatever I published (and I published useful content for my readers).
But now when I have launched a website in the WordPress niche in 2019, I am really facing stiff competition from the established players in the niche. It's like I am learning SEO for the first time.
I wanted to ask whether do-follow profile links from high DA sites matter and are they alone adequate to get my pages ranked or should I follow other link building methods as well?
I tried out Guest Blogging but apparently, no one has replied to my outreach emails.
For those of you who have websites in multiple niches, why areas do you cover?
For example, I run stuff in:
You?
So I’m not sure if this would work (though I can’t see why not) but I’m wondering if this is a good idea. I sell beard care products, and I’m trying to gain more organic traffic and monthly sales. I’m considering generating unique discount code links and sending emails to relevant 3rd party sites in the niche to offer a discount on these products to their sites users in exchange for having a dofollow link on their site linking to it. I believe (with my little SEO knowledge) that this would 1) bring in more hopefully repeat customers from these sites and 2) Provide backlinks to my site from trusted/valuable sites. Of course these discount links would cut pretty sharply into my margin for these sales (if they only buy 1 product at a time), but I’d still make a little money while hopefully gaining overall lifetime value.
However, I’m not sure if these links would even provide any value, or if they would be penalized for some reason, or if it’s risky putting discount links out on public sites?
Alternatively I could just give these third parties 1 time discount links they could blast out to their users. Not really relevant to SEO but could still drive sales.
I work for a website that hosts consumer reviews and commentary about products (we do not sell these products ourselves). We allow visitors to our website to post reviews about products they've used. We have a few major competitors with identical business models. Trustpilot would be a prime example of a competitor.
Many times, we invite the creators of these products to send visitors to our website and leave a review. However, I'm noticing that some products are receiving reviews that are identical to reviews found on competitor's sites. I'm assuming that either:
I have SEO concerns about duplicate content, or even how Google could potentially view us as "stealing" content/reviews if they somehow deem us as not the original source.
What type of concerns should we have here if we choose to keep the reviews live? Should I be allowing these reviews to stay public on our website if I'm noticing the review being spread out to multiple websites identical to ours?
I have a list of approximately 1,000 page where I would like to request a link. I've also gathered potential contact information via ScrapeBox.
Rather than automatically shooting out a generic email, I would honestly like to quickly check each site and personalize the message to maximize my success rate.
Is there a tool that speeds up / semi-automate this workflow?
Hello! I'm wondering. How do I rank a website for a company if the website does not have much Content. The website is a simple electrician's website which has the employees listed, some background info about the company and an FAQ. How would I go about ranking this website when it does not have any real Content and how would I drive traffic?
Hi All,
I'm beginning to learn SEO and i'm wondering how everyone has gotten started? Also quick question should I be teaching myself htlm or something similar for building websites or does something like elementor great for good SEO?
What's your story? How have you advanced?
Thank you!
Hi guys, I'd love to get some feedback on some of you more seasoned SEO professionals.
I'm very likely going to start a new job for a company as a link building specialist, and while I do have some experience with search engine optimization before I've never done link building per se.
So, in this new (potential) job that I would have I'd have a monthly KPI of 10-15 new links from websites that are in the work niche that will redirect to our website.
I just wanted to ask, since I couldn't find a proper result on Google, whether this is a realistic KPI? Is it easy to achieve? Is it hard? Really, any sort of valuable info would be welcomed.
Thanks!
I am a link builder and have a lot of sites for guest post services and want to show you some sites related to your site competition,

Thank you!
Many people on Fiverr, upworks and many other websites sells backlinks from the websites they own and from the network they know about. Can someone please let me know how to decide which website's backlink would be good for ranking? How would I know whether that backlink is really worth to boost ranking? And how can I negotiate the price, because once a seller on Fiverr was selling a guest post for 120 USD and the other seller gave me in 80 USD. Thanks in advance.
Say you have some high ranking newspaper articles written about you online that you can’t get taken down. You’ve tried to use social media to outrank these articles and it works to some degree, but they just keep coming back. And the pictures from the news articles outrank any of yours completely. What do you do if you live in America?

How to know that my Seo better then my Competiter?
I recently used to have reviews from the web section on my GMB, decided to change business names throughout my social profiles (not a complete name change, just added detail to the title), and had waited to see if google would still keep my RftW if I maintain the same business name throughout my profiles. No RftW have been added so I changed everything back the way it was originally. What exactly should I do to get back Reviews from the Web?
I have a list of services that I provide SEO clients. I just don't know if I am paying attention to the right things or if I should be shifting my focus to more impactful SEO strategies. Below are all the SEO services I offer on a monthly basis.

I sell clothing on Poshmark and try to capture as many relevant key words as possible in the description. Sometimes I use slashes in the description. For example, I might describe the item as a “jacket/blazer”. How does that verbiage affect SEO? Should I be inserting spaces? Thanks a bunch!
Why do I never see it on Google Maps searches every time I create a campaign? I would like to focus only on Google Maps traffic. Do you have any advice for me?
Hello,
I am wondering if there is a market for GMBs in major cities around the US. I have a bunch and am looking to see if people are interested in taking some of them of my hands.. These are take a week or 2 to get and I can get them for basically any large city. I currently have them in Chicago, St Louis, Des Moines, and Sacramento. THanks
I am not sure why GSC won’t pull the information for this particular domain. I have four other verified sites, so it’s odd that it won’t bring up information on this site. It is a franchise site, maybe that’s the reason? Anyone have any ideas?
Does anybody know if there is a site where you can find a list of bloggers? Not companies but more so individuals like beauty bloggers or mom bloggers
Tried bloglovin but that wasn't that great, but if there's anything similar I would be very interested
This is the first sitemap I’ve had to create for a very large website. Using Screaming Frog. To try and keep it simple we are only including folders that are high priority. Home page plus 7 folders. 2 of the folders aren’t being crawled at all. Trying to determine why. The site navigation isn’t the best (which will hopefully be addressed in the future). Are the folders possibly not being crawled because there is currently no internal navigation leading to the folders? I’m just a bit stumped as to what else it could be. The folders don’t require a login. I can do a site: search on Google and see that they’re already indexed. So they’re not being blocked on the backend.
How much do blogs help your ranking as opposed to other content such as pages and or back links?
I was told that google came out with a new search ranking and they look for blogs that are 1,000+ words. If I did 2 of these per month as opposed to 1 per month how much will this help me in my overall results?
I am fairly familiar with the seo processes from research but by no means a pro.
Thank you for your feedback.
Just stopping by to say thanks.
Someone commented on here about Haro...
I signed up for free.. and now get inundated with emails every day for people looking for useful insights. I responded to a few relevant ones over a 2 week period.
I was actually getting slightly annoyed at the frequency of emails filling up my inbox... and then I just found out that one of my responses had made the cut, and has featured as a full blog interview on a respected (Good Domain authority, page authority) website. With a lovely relevant and real backlink to my site.
So thanks for the Haro heads up and thanks for all the 'endless' conversation about backlinks (both good and bad).
Time for a cuppa and a biscuit.
After the recent update Google made to the reviews/ratings schema, what is the best method to collect and display reviews to achieve the rating snippet?
I was going to implement Trustpilot's schema plan for the client until this update occurred - so I'm now wanting to tackle this in a way that Google is happy with :)
Hey everyone,
I started my own consultancy a couple months ago after being agency / client side for 7-8 years.
I've got a few clients so far and i'm happy how things are going from that point of view. I'm struggling with the new business side of it. I try go to as many event as possible and so on.
1 thing i've been really stuck on is sending proposals, i've created a few that just look naff and end up looking / sounding confusing.
Does anyone have any tools or a list of how you think it's best to structure an SEO proposal for a small business who might not have a great understanding of SEO. Keen to hear peoples thoughts.
Cheers
Hey - sorry if it's been asked before, I couldn't find an answer on this topic.
I'm using Yoast on Wordpress and I see how many internal links I have for my posts.
But how can I have the list of the posts linking to this post? I'd like to know this because I'm reworking my blog and so I'm unpublishing some posts, but I don't want to have broken links if those posts were linked from somewhere on my website.
Hey SEOs,
So with the new Search Console I see that I got a great deal of traffic for my hyper-niche site from Discover.
However, it is a page that doesn't provide much value but had a lot of clicks. (accounted for 1/3 of my daily traffic total with a CTR of 14.1%)
My question is the following.. (I know most of these won't have a definite answer, just looking for some tips/tricks/advice)
How to best leverage Google Discover as a traffic source?
How to best make certain pages appear on Discover? (My current report shows only 1 webpage)
Thanks & Happy Monday my fellow SEOs!
Appreciate this community gets a lot of similar queries but could use some help on this if possible.
This is the message from our agency:
Can the German site be moved to a de.domain.com (instead of www.domain.de) Using 301 permanent redirect of the de domain. That way it can also benefit from UK inbound links and rankings
Our UK website represents 90% of our business. Our German website is about 5% but growing. Should we do this?
UK - www.domain.com DE - www.domain.de
I am redesigning a very old and outdated site. The site is a .co.nz site and will only be used by users in New Zealand. Do you think there will be any chance it could lose its first result place? Tips to stop that from happening? Thank you
Hey there !
Quick question : Links to my RSS's podcasts are accessible on each mobile page of my podcasts's shows.
My UX team asking me if i should leave it here for SEO or can it be deleted so the UX team improves the page by adding new content instead of sticking with this RSS image on the page ^^
Hope i made myself clear please do come back to me if u have any questions.
Love to you all !
I am facing a big problem with my server. I have a website that keeps getting massive page requests coming from "Bing/Msn" bot every second or two and the ip changes now and then. Which is putting a heavy load on my server.
My CPU is constantly over 90%
I tried to block the bot from htaccess and robots.txt but they don't seem to have any effect.
If anyone has an idea how to defeat this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Anyone been doing this for years and happen to pick up any good newer published books? Looking for something a little deeper than the basics
As I build up the foundation for my new website, what are some things that you would recommend doing for SEO? For context, my website is for a b2b business that provides services like content writing.
For now I am doing the following with new pages I am building up: using primary keywords, LSI keywords, alt tags, meta titles, meta descriptions, submitting sitemaps to Google search console, learning more about how to use Google search console, internal linking, researching and prospecting to get backlinks from authoritative websites, writing content and pillar content for target audience keywords, using external linking and increasing page speed.
Overall my primary strategy is to create content my target audience would find useful. But I know SEO is important. So is there anything else you would recommend that I do at this stage to improve SEO? What else can I do as someone who isn't an SEO expert (but willing to learn and also understands the basics? Anything obvious I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers guys!

One of my websites has a DR of 67 in Ahrefs. We have been ranking for close to 1.5 years now for a variety of keywords in top positions (positions 1-3). A competitor with a DA of 80+ (a website like PC Mag) all of a sudden comes in and BAM - they rank instantly...and in top positions within 4 weeks. Is there any way to really compete with them or outrank them again?
So there was an update with schema markup recently and I did update the code & ran multiple structured data tests. All seemed normal.
Then a few days later errors on products started popping up and after validation they started disappearing 1 by 1. What's the issue?
I tested different URL for the search operator related: on Google, but it seems that it doesn't work!
Some ideas? Thanks!
I built a WordPress website about a year ago. Hosted on Godaddy WP Host Plan, plus I had a 2-year SSL cert. The website didn't do very well, so I just took it down, switched the domain to a new domain and built a new WordPress website. I am now reusing the SSL for the new domain and site.
Will using this SSL hurt any future SEO on my new site and domain?
I found that quality linking mater's and especially when it comes to linking in the same indusrty increases better link value. Wouldn't you agree? One of the best logical ways with out a ton of research or a ton of steps or even direct contacting for link request is oddly seoblogit. That platform has it made down to simply contacting your site directly with your industry and auto sending blog articles with your links straight to guest blogging. If your in need of backlink networking I would highly recommend checking out seoblogit.com
Without getting too specific, let's say I have the name of a product "Black Apple Iphone 64gb" displayed as a H2 in a top 10 product review post. In the same blog post, I use the phrase again but in a decorative manner. Let's just say I display the text again but the second time it's purely for aesthetic purposes.
Is there a way so this second display of text doesn't count towards any SEO (mainly I don't want Google to think I'm KW stuffing or things like that)? I'd rather not generate a png of the text and display it. There's got to be an easier way that also retains responsive display for different resolutions.
Would Javascript do this? If I somehow displayed the text using Javascript and then styled it with CSS would Google count it? Is there a better or easier way?
(Wasn't sure where to post this question. I figured SEO would be best because I'm trying to avoid its consideration for SEO purposes).
Hello,
I'm working on ranking my side-project better. I've been contemplating two approaches to bump up the very low content on the homepage (and website in general):
I could either write a comprehensive guide to cover the main topic of the project (naming). I would place it right on the homepage with anchors to jump to content and maybe a floating index on the side to allow easier navigation. This content should provide some value from being pretty "complete" in itself and covering all important aspects. I feel it would be "link-worthy" and attract some backlinks over time. Downside is that it would mean I got only one link to rank and therefore limited keyword options as far as I understand SEO.
Alternatively, I could split the content into chunks and produce a number of blog articles for sub-topics. These all could rank individually for different keywords but generally these articles wouldn't be as link-worthy as a complete guide I think.
For reference and more background: I'm talking about my side-project startupnamecheck.com (a tool to check usernames across different platforms and various domain names at once). In itself not the most link-attracting project, but with a good "ultimate guide" it might actually get some more backlinks.
What do you think is the better approach in this case? In advance thanks for your help!
I have 1 site that the traffic has been cut in half on the day the BERT update was released. Hoping the traffic will come back. All of my other sites seem generally unaffected as of right now.
Have you seen any impacts, good or bad, in your traffic from this update?
Just started a site in one of those niches that are hard for link building. You know that situation, you email some website owners, they are willing to sell you a post in the beginning and then when they see your URL they reply "oh sorry, we're not selling posts to......."
So I thought maybe it would be easier if I just buy expired domains with good backlinks and redirect them to my site. Like buying a few domains each month and redirecting them.
Is this a good idea and why it is not?
Did you ever tried something like that and was it successful?
And today's earnings reports your main focus keyword rank dropped from 35 to 50 but your impressions jumped 30 percent. Ctr is consistent at 1.6 percent. Thanks gambling gods! Why don't you tell me why my pocket aces lost and my bad cards are winning.
I am in a field very hard, yes I am using long-tail keywords and mack some good backlink, but I can not get on the first page on google. Can you help me?!
