I run a health blog and wanted to check the best tool for checking the articles.
On a side note, what percentage of plagiarism is usually acceptable?
I saw in many adsense related forum that hacking related articles are not allowed on adsense. But i see website being monitised by Google. These there is low competition on hacking related stuffs . I thought of writing on it .
If it is illegacal does writing on prevention is allowed?
starting a new website. do i just beg and ask for guest posts or focus on content in quora and blogs?
I never noticed it before, but underneath snippets in the SERP is a small option for "feedback". Do you guys bother giving positive feedback on your own snippets? Or, do people use this as a tool to give negative feedback to competitor's snippets??
Hello, I have this question and I haven't found the answer on google, so I thought you guys maybe had the answer.
Say I want to write an article about best hair brushes, and the google results are
1) amazon hair brushes results
2)Macys hair brushes
3)Etsy. com best selling hair brushes
4) pinterest best hair brushes pins
What do you think? do you think it will be easy to outrank them or are they competitive websites? At first I thought that it will be, but then everytime I google "best (product)" I get the same -ish results ebay/pinterest/retailers/etc.
Thanks for the help and sorry if it's a super noob questions.
Should I make my home page the "parent page" to all secondary pages ie. main menu options? Or does the parent page thing start at the secondary level and go on to lower levels..?
I have high quality sites for guest posting with high Domain authority and good traffic in reasonable prices, interested people Dm me for further details. Attention seekers please stay away.
I want to start a shopify site in a specific niche for specific keywords and to rank well but I think starting from scratch will take a few months to start ranking well based on research.
Is it a better idea to buy a small existing site (1-3 years with some backlinks) in a relevant niche then switch the content to my shopify content, or just register a new domain and start link building from scratch?
I want to save time.
Hello,
I am looking for the best platforms for link exchange / netlinking for the US.
Do you know some of them?
Thanks
Hey everyone, as people start out building websites from scratch in their niche, and being new in this pursuit, they read a lot about back-links, link building, on how google considers back links as "trust factor" and it plays a vital role in reaching the first page of SERP, while they glean over heaps of articles about SEO, it's not easy to see the effects of back links on their SEO immediately, sometimes, they are not even sure if people would link their content.
So sharing your experience of getting your first back link, how you earned it and how it made an impact on your ranking with real [ near estimate ] numbers would be something newbies would appreciate!
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I run a blog which has grown and now ranks fairly well in English language keywords across the USA, UK, Canada, etc, and I'm considering having the content translated into other major languages to expand further. However, I've never done anything like this before, and understand that it is a big deal architecture-wise, and can go badly wrong if not done properly.
I was hoping someone could help with the following queries:
- What have you found to be the best way to change from a single language to multiple language site, architecture-wise? If you've done this for a Wordpress site, how did you do it?
- Is there a best-practice way of telling Google that this version of content is the same as the different language pages in other areas of the site? E.g. like a canonical link for similar pages.
- Can you use your DA to rank instantly / much quicker in other languages / geographies than you would if you had started all over again? I'm less interested in translating the content if I am likely to have to regain Google's trust over 12-24 months again, and wondering if you get put straight back up there if you're trusted in English.
- If you only have a few pieces of your most popular content translated, is that enough to still rank highly for those pieces of content? It is said that you need to be uploading, improving, editing content often to be seen as fresh and relevant, but could I just go 80/20 Pareto and have a few of the best pieces translated, and still get most of the results by ranking these most popular pages in Spanish, German, etc? Or do you have to commit to publishing masses of content to rank highly?
if there's anything I'm clearly missing out that you think might help, please also let me know!
Thank you for all your help!
Am looking for current best practices around img alt text for social media logos. Had previously been taught by my SEO Jedi Master not to write much so as to avoid potentially ranking that page for social media queries but that was a couple years ago. What do you all write or recommend to clients for alt text on social logos?
Hey everyone, about 4 months ago I started "Local SEO Community", which is a forum-ish site for discussing local SEO and Google My Business tips and strategies (as opposed to SEO as a whole).
We just crossed over 1,000 members in the community.
If you like talking about GMB and other local SEO topics, feel free to join.
Hello ,
Recently while trying to build links for my site and idea came through . I want your opinion on whether its workable or not ? Its just a initial thought but all opinions are welcomed .
Idea : Wordpress plugin for links buying and selling .
Everyone is looking to make money . Content writers are looking to eventually make money either by content writing for specific niche or selling links .
Wordpress runs 37% of all websites . So if we make a plugin where content is scanned and suggest the writer that for a particular keyword some other user is looking to spend money and buy link , it will be a win win situation . Website owner will be able to see the page before the linking and money can be exchanged and the link becomes live .
Pros :
Easier to connect link buyers and website owners .
Content scanned and give suggestion to website owner that a buyer wants its link to be placed .
Link opportunities .
Content writer does not have to go and search for a buyer , thus simplifying the process .
Cons :
Google does not prefer users buying links , but they are being sold and bought anyway . Also the plugin does not leave any traces in front end for google to verify that a transaction has been made .
The number one priority for Google is the relevance of search results for its users. So the services who target the 'Free ....' keywords but after completing 15 min task they ask users for payment, must be all punished since they are ruining the user experience of Google users.
I'm a marketing executive with a lot of SEO experience, however I'm having a problem which I'm hoping someone can give me some insight into!
I recently added several new pages that hit our keyword followed by a location, i.e., services in Sheffield rather than just, services. The issue is that even after now 5 weeks, there's not one single impression. They're all indexed and working fine, but nothing, which just does not make sense.
Anyone have any suggestions where I could be going wrong?
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
There is an old GMB set up to an old address.
Can I delete this one then create a new one with the same name but new address.
Google have taken too long when I ask for a new verify code and it's been weeks now with no response.
Any ideas?
I'm already up and running the site under vaping/E-Cig niche in the UK and making decent sales. However I have not optimised the site yet and reached up the potential where I should be.
Any SEO best practise, anyone would like to suggest for a bigger move and where do I start from ? Seen the lot of videos and it has got be the keywords focused along with the contents optimised. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks 🙂
Hi all,
I am having a lot of difficulty with impressions/clicks for my site. For the past month or so impressions have been a paltry 15-25/day with clicks between 5-10/day across the whole site.
I have been doing a bit of a deep dive and, as an example, 1 post in particular had 5 impressions and 1 click this past week, despite ranking on the 1st page for its targeted keywords the entire time (according to GSC).
Now, contrast this with the first week of October and this same post managed 1570 impressions and 31 clicks, so I know the keywords its ranking for pull in traffic.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I know things have been a bit weird in the SERP of late, but I think its more likely an issue on my end rather than Google's.
I've checked all the usual things like robots.txt, manual actions etc and Google appears to be able to crawl my site just fine and I have no penalties or issues in GSC's eyes.
I would love to hear any insight anyone may have.
I have a website that has multiple different web apps. The website is only a few days old. I hired someone to do on-page SEO for it (still in progress and will be done in a couple of days). After that, I am planning to run paid ads.
Should I wait? Will it affect SEO in any positive or negative way? The website is not even a week old. But the domain is a few weeks old (if that matters).
Just a quick one, which I suppose will be me being overzealous but figured I'd ask anyway.
Clients have been listing their website on directories, but aren't listing their website as the canonical version and are using 'www . domain . com' instead.
Is there any real value in me fixing up these canonicalisation issues? I'm not exactly aware of the way Google treats using the wrong canonical in anchor texts (which are largely garbage on directories anyway).
Hey everyone! I currently own a start up digital marketing agency and I'm looking for a long term partner who's willing to go above and beyond as a media buyer/Google ads or SEO specialist.
- Looking for an A-Player.
- Proof of case studies.
- 1-2 daily sentences on things are going with each client.
- 30-minute weekly calls to discuss the progress of each client.
- Must be on par with long term vision and mission.
Feel free to send me a PM if you're interested then we can go on from there!
hi guys,
I am a beginner SEO. I have read some articles but I am a little bit confused about the tags. can someone guide me if they have proper knowledge about on-page SEO.
Hi everyone - my boss asked me to put together ROI for hiring an additional SEO teammember. It's super easily to validate why we should hire someone to run paid ads or email marketing because it's easier to measure the ROI on that campaign. If you had to put together a few reasons on what the ROI would for hiring someone for SEO, where would you start?
I have some articles I want to republish on Medium.com. Anyone know if they allow us to link back to the originally published article? Or whether or not they allow CTA's?
I have read thru a ton of articles but still am unclear on this. Send help!
I have a client with 6 sites on different subdomains. They're all ecommerce stores with pretty much the exact same content. The subdomains are used for warehousing/management purposes.
When they write blog posts what is the best way to distribute this content? At the moment they post it to 50% of the sites and have hreflang implemented (but the blog posts aren't actually translated).
I have a 5 year old site. It's a local bricks and mortor store. We added a small shop to the site a couple of years ago under a subdomain (shop.website.com).
anyway, never really thought anything of it. the site is wordpress and the shop uses woocommerce. i used to notice a few spammy comments on products but used to ignore it. I was under the belief that Wordpress's spam protection would be enough. The site already has comments disabled so I fail to see how a sit can spam if it can't post anywhere...
So anyway, fast forward to today and I check backlinks on Moz and Ahrefs. I never do this normally, this is maybe the second time in 5 years. I noticed a lot of the spammy links were comments on products within the woocommerce shop!!
WTF, again. How can these spammers be auto commenting on products and negative SEOing my site when comments are disabled?
My Client's old business is appearing on Local Pack, along with the new business.
Sure having 2 of the 3 spots can seem good, but I'm more worried.
Everything is the same (address, phone, except the name of the business, because the partnership ended).
The website for the old business forwards to the new site.
I'm not sure what access they currently have, or if they are even aware but I will be discussing the next step with them later this week.
They have a third website that is right there in the SERPS, but not GMB or the Local Pack.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I worked with a niche company in last year for a little whole. I helped them build the basic building blocks of SEO content creation and all that. When I left, they hired a content creator who doesn't believe in SEO. The content creator said she never experienced online publishing that's why she's skeptical about it. Also, she doesn't trust algorithms. I just learned that they're almost completely neglecting SEO and basically just winging it in the content department. It's an online store that sells art and they are asking me reasons why they should focus on SEO when their competition are huge companies with an already established domain and a whole department that focuses on content creation.
Of course, I gave them all I know: helps build organic traffic, returning visitors, conversion rates etc. Please help me explain it to them. They're very traditional and I don't know if I am in the position to give them a whole seminar about it when they're not even paying me anymore. I just love the brand and believe there's so much potential to it.
First of all, I apologize for my lack of knowledge of sites.
I am planning to launch a niche site. After searching for a while, I found a local seller offering a package (domain+hosting+ssl) that will serve my need for the time being. Though I am not sure their service will stay the same in the future. So if I transfer my(same site) domain and hosting to a renowned company like NameCheap or BlueHost, will it affect my ranking?
If money was not an issue I would go for NameCheap from the beginning but I am in a bad situation right now. I have to make work what I have now.
Will appreciate your expert opinion on this.
Thanks.
Hi! I am new to SEO and trying to acquire backlinks for my niche business (native plant gardening in Ontario) have been doing research on how to find back links and most tutorials recommend finding other related blogs and doing guest posts. The problem is that I am having trouble finding relevant blogs to do so.
Any guidance for finding niche backlinks would be appreciated!
I came across a client's data who have never done On-page optimization and have not set Meta Copy but they are ranking on some keywords solely by doing off-page activities.
So, I would like to know how much impact On-page activities have on rankings? and what activities you adopted to rank on SERPs?
Hey!
Looking into writing tools to help improve SEO of my web content.
Has anyone tried SEO writing tools like INK or Semrush's SEO writing assistant? Are they worth it?
Do hashtags work in WordPress blog posts and if so, to what extent do they help SEO?
Hi there - sorry for the totally newb question that's about to follow.
I recently started working as a content writer/marketer for a company that creates business software (with automation) for other companies - similar to Zoho or OutSystems. We currently have a website up that (according to my boss) is meant to appeal to both potential clients (i.e. business owners) and to potential partners (developers who want to publish an app in our app marketplace). So theoretically, our site should have both tech and business-friendly writing - but right now, it leans heavily towards the tech stuff and honestly, I think any business owner who didn't start out in IT wouldn't understand at least 60% of our current site.
After talking to my boss, I've gotten approval to change as much of the website as I want (as long as I get changes approved by him first). But I'm a bit confused - should I start with a layout for the site, launch it (once I get approval), and only then go through everything and edit the blog posts for SEO keywords? Or do I need an SEO plan from the get-go? Are there layouts that are more or less SEO friendly?
I know nothing about SEO. I'm willing to learn, of course, but I'm also open to hiring outside help.
I just want to make sure that if I get outside help, I don't waste money on something that isn't appropriate to my current work and goals (at any given stage).
So yeah... building a new website from scratch. Where do I start (with SEO)? Which things will have the biggest impact on a website's rankings? What would you do in my situation?
Do you think using multiple h1 won't get in the way of your SEO as John Mueller said earlier??
I run a video production company in Miami and need to start getting my rank back which ive slowly been losing (im at the bottom of page 1 now for my keyword).
What I do need:
-Quality link building
-Optimization of headers on my site
-Anything else you can find that needs improvement and is high priority.
What I dont need:
-Blog writing (im getting this done independently through upwork, on topics i approve)
-Speed: ive already paid someone to get me to top speed on my site, CDN, etc, etc..
Not looking for some large company. thats going to charge me an arm and a leg to drag their ass, looking for someone who is independent, smart, and intuitive.
Thanks!!!

Indexification tool still work in 2020?
I worked in live entertainment for about a decade - and over the years would write articles for my buddy's business while traveling as a side hustle. Learned the ropes on how to build and rank websites through him. Would eventually take a more formalized course when COVID hit (had a lot of time on my hands) and I generally felt it would have been really helpful for someone coming in who had no experience.
Anyhow - just curious how you guys learned to do what you're doing. What were the big "ah-ha!" moments in the early stages of your careers?
I should probably stop procrastinating... happy rankin yall!
Hi guys
I had just stumbled upon this website and the pricing seems to good to be true. Does anyone have any prior experience working with hirewriters.com?
Hey, I´m a Fullstack Developer and interested in improving my SEO skills. I already have a strong basic SEO foundation. Since I hate writing content, I´m interested in 2 particular areas:
Can you recommend any courses for those particluar areas?
The SEO courses I find are mostly 10h SEO basic courses. Most advanced courses are only teaching about tools for content marketers.
I would really appreciate your help - if you have found a good subreddit for guys like me I would also appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Austria!
I have been writing on my blog for 3 different topics in mind. Marketing, productivity and making different online products.
My biggest difficulty is that I want to do keyword research but not really sure what keywords to choose. I don't understand which niches are there and where I am in relation to them. Is there a tool that can give me a list based on what I input? Or maybe an analysis of the website?
If you have any better ways or tips on how to do keyword research it would be very strongly appreciated.
How ethical/safe/effective is it ? For offpage SEO to list your website on these random online "yellow pages"
I've a wordpress website. Suddenly website traffic is decreasing. Bouncing rate going hugher and higher. What do you people suggest me for linkbuilding?
Need help Thanks
I have a number of sites that I own and I've managed SEO for a few sites I don't own.
I'm very particular about link-building and I'm not looking for garbage links to my sites.
I do all of my own content and SEO management.
That being said, has anyone used Rhino Rank for link insertions or guest posts?
How was your experience? Are the sites decent quality or part of spammy PBNs?
How is the quality for pricing?
Is it safe?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you
How do I find Reddit posts that rank (for certain keywords) in my industry?
As title reads, I always search keywords to see the ranking of my website but suddenly it is not showing anymore. However, when i type the exact name of my site, it will still show up. It shows up on Google maps too.
Any idea why this happened?
My client wrote a book about government budgeting. Not a NY Times Bestseller, but he got a lot of press for it. He has a website BookTitle.com. Some of the articles link to this site.
He has since left govt and started a consulting company, His Name Consulting. He had a separate domain for the consulting company HisName.com.
BookTitle.com is live and HisName.com is not. BookTitle.com links to (dead) HisName.com.
So BookTitle.com has the backlinks, but HisName.com is the URL of his consulting company that he's trying to grow.
What's the best approach?
I have an article, and also a youtube video with links in the description, but I have no way of knowing which is converting better. Does Amazon provide reports on this?
I posted a new article Tuesday night and it was crawled Wednesday.
It’s showing up as “On google, but has issues.” It’s also saying it’s not included in the sitemap. However, the live test shows everything is good.
I’m sure that it’s not actually on Google, as it’s not even being ranked yet and this was a very easy targeted KW to rank for.
How can I fix this? It doesn’t tell me what these issues are, and as we know request indexing isn’t possible right now. Can I resubmit the sitemap?
Thanks!

I’ve got allot of info on testicular cancer on the home page ( scroll down needed) but if I put the info on another page and people would have to click to see it on another page would it be more beneficial to ranking
Kind regards TesticularcancerUK.com
I’ve been struggling to reduce the bounce rate on a clients website. Managed to get a lot of their content to rank really well in SERPS. Average session time is over 1.5 minutes. But the bounce rate is at 70%+
Most people visit the blog, read the article and/or watch the video. But then I guess they bounce 😅
I’ve tried this trick where you add some code to reduce the bounce rate. But maybe because the client is on HubSpot CMS it doesn’t work.
Debating whether or not to use a lead magnet pop-up. I hate them and would rather not sacrifice UX in favor of a lower BR.
Anyone have any tips? Or similar experiences?
In excel or sheets its CMD + SHIFT + DOWN but this don't work, holding shift it adds another url but on large crawls its way too slow of a method.
Well, we've been doing a LOT of work optimizing content and site's infrastructure at the Blog from a courses website. It's been working very well!
We want to add a segment which is News related to our niche (compared to others, we are at very specific niche in Brazil - with about 400K traffic/mo).
The question is:
What will be the impact if we add a Segment (subdomain) only publishing news in our actual SEO?
Or should we buy another domain like news.website.com.br?
(sorry for my English)
I'm helping out moving a website from an old host (MoonFruit) to a new one (SiteGround Wordpress). I've had to recreate the website in WordPress with a more modern look and feel, but the content is still the same. The urls will mostly stay the same and I will redirect any that I have changed. Is there anything I need to look out for to help minimise the hit on SEO?
I have a nice DIY article on my business website and I have recently been able to have a slightly modified version of it hosted on another high DA website with a dofollow link pointing back to the front door of my site. Is there any kind of penalty for duplicate content in a situation like this? Should I add a canonical tag to the article I am hosting? Thx
How can i get free and quality do follow backlink?

Hello!
I have a one sport niche website in English language and I've acquired a domain for it in my native language. There's some juice in search for my language, so I would like to copy and paste translated by me articles from my mother site to this new site. Site is going to look near identically as it's mother.
Can I place a link in the footer on both sites (from eng to native and from native to eng)? Will it be beneficial for both of them?
We have a dynamic link that re-directs users to either the Google Play Store or the Apple Store depending on the device that users are clicking the link from. We know that backlinks are pretty important to building a good SEO reputation hence we'd like to understand whether these dynamic links will count towards it or not. Anyone has experience with this and is able to advise?
Dear SEO experts,
Recently I have created a post in accordance with the rules of SEO.
After 2 weeks, I searched for the keyphrase my post was intended for. Just to watch its ranking.
Now for one reason, the first link in google that shows up... is a category page. Now I do not understand this:
- I made a whole post, fully SEO (with the keyphrase in the slug)
- Google chooses to index a small summary that happens to be on a category archive page.
How is this possible? ...and is there a way to fix this?
Hello guys, I'm building my SEO services but I don't know what kind of content do I have to write. I did the keyword research and find This keywords for my services: - Local Digital Marketing - Graphic Design - Advertising Local Agency - Local Social Media Marketing - Local PPC
Is this enough?
And another question, can I build citations manually and what pages are the most important? Thanks 😊
I am running a local service based business out of my home and with employees that are also at home. We do not have an office, only a virtual mailbox address since my business does not require a storefront. We are servicing clients at their office or remotely over the phone.
I am trying to figure out how viable local SEO is for this setup. I was wondering if I should do citations and use my virtual mailbox address. I was also wondering if my business can still show up in local pack or if there's something I need to change in GMB to enable that. I already have pages setup for cities in my area but they are not ranking so I'm trying to figure out what else I can do considering my business doesn't have a storefront or physical office.
My competitors have physical addresses and I see them showing up in local pack. I do not want an office for my business and it looks like I am at a disadvantage because of that. Most local seo information I find is based around a storefront address which we do not have or need.
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about this issue.
Google's new Crawl Stats report tells me that 45% of crawl requests on Nov 24 failed. I contacted my host's technical support, and they said there were no problems. (And I've never had a problem accessing the site.)
So is the Crawl Stats report wrong, or is there something else going on?
Here is my pitch:
I want a revolutionary new keyword tool so you don't have to know what to look for when finding keywords in your niche. For example you can find different keywords that are related to your niche, have low competition keywords, almost no one has articles for them and has high search volume. One problem is I am limited by what I know to search and not what is available. For example, if I'm interested in Furniture I have a limited understanding of all the variations in keywords and there might be keywords I am missing because of my limited knowledge. There should be an artificial intelligence that tells you what keywords you should look for in your niche.
Forgot to mention that the dump is free Hi there, I do keyword research for a living and lots of keywords at that. Sometimes, I get the worst clients ever and I have to allow them to keep the work. I am tired of it. Therefore, I am kinda ranting, but also kinda thinking of dumping them on reddit for you guys to have too. Trust me, there are plenty to use and they are like.. amazing (I only do amazing keyword research). The most recent I have is for jewelry, and they are some beautiful easy to rank phrases. Great to have for those trying to rank for SEO and need a niche.
Any how, what is the peoples opinion? Should I start doing keyword dumps of my cancelled orders and give the new SEO-goers real chances of phrases. Or should I just let it go. I asked myself a few times by the way, but I want your opinions. <3
I'm in a niche where it's hard to get organic backinks (ore even paid, for that matter), so I'm set to try out some out-of-the-box stuff.
One of them is expired domains (either PBN or, most likely, redirecting them to our site).
The gist is — find an expired domain with good domain authority, redirect to our main site and get all that link juice.
I know it worked back then. Does it still work? What's your experience with it?
Starting a website for to market professional services. I have amateur web-building experience (Drupal, Wordpress), but have never considered SEOs. Any guides, resources, YouTube channels, podcasts I should look at? Any advice you have for an SEO newbie?
For instance a search for 'guitar pedal', or 'guitar pedal company' or any of the type of effects that I do just brings up things like ' Eight best delay pedals for guitarists in 2019 ' on guitar.com or shops that sell many brands. None of my competitors even make the 1st page of results. Should I just accept that SEO is not the way to drive traffic in my industry and focus on other funnelling methods? Should I be trying to write my own listicles (that have to compete with much larger platforms than any of my competitors have - ie. much more general websites).
I should point out I'm super new to the world of SEO so there's a good chance I'm missing some obvious concept, so like don't worry about patronising me.
Hey there, I am pretty new to flipping websites, however I found an interesting one that I want to purchase. However, it is an Indian domain and got 90+% of its audience from India. The topic of the website is very broad and would even fit better for western countries. Hence, I want to widen the audience to a .COM. There is obviously the option to use 301 redirects, however I am not really sure whether this might affect SEO in the Indian market since it no longer is a co.in domain but a .com Ideally, I would love to keep the current traffic and build up more from other markets (US, Europe) Any input is appreciated, thanks!
I have a Black Friday post that I expand and update each year.
It has loads of backlinks, comments, social media shares and generally ranks #1 for "black friday [niche]" and so on all year.
Two or three days before Black Friday, two of my competitors with zero backlinks and lower domain authority write a Black Friday post, and like magic, they have position #1 and #2, and I'm pushed to #3.
What's with that?
How on earth does this happen? Is Google just favoring brand new content?
Hi, what are the white hat techniques you would implement to move from both half of 2nd page to top 5 for a keyword?
I have a blog post titled "Who is person x".
When someone searches google for that term, I am the featured snippet.
Total monthly search volume: 1,300
When someone searches google for shorter keyword "person x", I am the 4th result, underneath results from twitter, facebook, instagram, and reddit.
Total monthly search volume: 8,100
Question: should I change my post seo title to "person x" to try and rank 1 for the larger volume term, or would this make me lose the snippet on the "Who is person x" term?
I have a small business and am planning out an ongoing SEO strategy. I want to be able to run monthly reports that show progress and track issues. Is Ubersuggest SEO tool good for a company just starting SEO? I am looking at the $29/mo plan.
Hey folks,
Just changed a theme on a WordPress site on Tuesday and have so far noticed a 40% drop in traffic. I was very careful about maintaining the URL structures, meta titles, and descriptions. The new theme also improved the site's performance - better speeds, better design, better usability, better sitemaps.
Is this expected? What else should I be checking?
Hi!!!
For those that do not write their own content, where do you find great writers? Do you use just one or multiple? I’ve used services of one but I don’t like her writing style. It’s too formal and isn’t engaging.
I will never use upwork or any other freelance sites because most of them aren’t good anyways. Thank you in advance

I was having a telephonic interview for a SEO agency and was asked this question-
How to find contact details of the Webmasters if its hidden or if those websites doesn't have a "contact us" page on a mass scale for an outreach campaign?
I suggested scrapebox, social media pages of the websites and whois lookup to get the required details but the interviewer was not impressed by my answer as they can't be used always due to multiple reasons and wanted a solid answer from my side.
Do you have any workaround for such conditions?
Can anyone please suggest a good tool to use to check a website's keyword trends? If it's ranking for more or fewer keywords over time. I'm looking to create a list of good websites that I can guest post to but I wanted to make sure they're good.
Hi, Please share your view on the best tool to find keyword traffic. I have access to multiple tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Spyfu and I am getting contradicting keyword volume data from all 3 of them. This is making it difficult to do keyword research and building a list.
Good Morning,
Hope to get some suggestions on how to build backlinks for a local restaurant directory. A few of my listings are on page one of google, but most are on the second page. I have found a different restaurant directory website that after having ONE backlink to its site, their pages have been consistently appearing on page one of google. Any ideas of how to get backlinks to my restaurant website?
In other words, is it sufficient to optimize the load speed for the landing pages, or does it need to be done for everything?
Hello everyone hope you guys are doing good. Yesterday my website on page 1 of Google and now overnight it went to page 8. I am unable to find the issue that causes this drastic drop in rankings. Kindly help me out website name: Global Executive Cars.
Thanks
The title is basically all I need to know, but I'll give a little more information in the hope it makes more sense.
I had a blog post that was ranking well for a popular keyphrase, and I saw a small decline in traffic which alerted me to check GSC. The issue appears to have been present for the last few days (I've been so busy I neglected my own website) that it appears the post dropped off the index.
I ran the report in GSC and it's telling me it was alerted that it was a soft 404. The only thing I can think of is my web host accidentally switched my custom .htaccess file (that had 301 re-writes because I changed the permalink structure for my blog posts) to a default WordPress one to troubleshoot issues on my website - without my permission or asking to do so first.
It has since been reverted, but the post hasn't been recrawled for a few days now and still indicates a soft 404 error so I really do not want them to remove it from the index.
I can't prove it (and it's probably placebo) but it feels like everything is taking so much longer to index with the indexing request tool being suspended, so I have no idea how to get Google's attention and get them to crawl this page again.
Any ideas for me?
(I also cross-posted this to /r/bigSEO but figured there could be some helpful brains here too.)
Hi. I was wondering how crucial is to have 70-80 score for SEO? My e-commerce website stats are 30-40 mobile and 70-80 desktop. Competitors are in 9-20 range.
Question About DA, PA & TF.
Hi everyone, If a fresh new site keeps posting frequently for 2 years, would their DA, PA & TF get up and post starts indexing within a day?
Thanks everyone!!
Hello a little over a week ago. I am monetizing my blogger with Popads. and I haven't made any money yet. . Can someone explain to me how it works? My blog has 100 visits per day. My blog is about movies
Hi everyone, I am having some doubts about the SEO rankings as my specific pages does not rank in google but the homepage which does not satisfy the user for the particular keyword. I have put the keyword in the home page and gave an internal link to the specific page but the single usage of the keyword made homepage ranked over the specific page.
Did any of you came through same scenarios earlier? How did you guys sorted it out?
Thanks in advance
Hola hace un poco mas de una semana. estoy monetizando mi blogger con Popads. y todavia no he generado nada de dinero. . ¿Alguien me puede explicar como funciona? Mi blog tiene 100 visitas por dia
Hi all.
I am trying to bump up a news article that used to be listed as #1 on Google when my name was searched.
It is written by a media company that I don't have backend access to, so I can't change any of the SEO on that end.
Does anyone know how I can get this link back up again? Is it simply a matter of Googling plus clicking the link?
Are there any programs/sites that could best facilitate this?
Thank you in advance
I'm moving my mom's business's website from Squarespace to Wordpress but I'm worried that she will lose rank for some searches. For the most part I have copied the text and images exactly but I know there are some structural differences between the two platforms.
Would you mind taking a look at the two and making suggestions to make sure it goes smoothly?
The Squarespace URL is https://grandlux.org and the IP for the Wordpress site is http://18.206.105.209/
When I know SEO will be good on the WP site I'll connect the domain.
Looking for web directories which list credible softwares. Also, please share if you know of any other similar tactics for link building.
I'm trying to clear up technical errors on a site. I used Ahrefs crawler to help identify problems within pages to create a checklist for me to work through. One of the largest errors I get is the "Duplicate pages without canonical"
I started to research what this meant and I think I have a basic understanding of what the tag *<link rel="canonical" href= does for the bots. It tells crawlers which URL to give credit to. So duplicate content doesn't really matter much is you tell the bots where the original content came from (please correct me if I am wrong).
After using the site audit tool on Ahrefs I get about 250 errors telling me my canonical rule is missing on a bunch of pages. However, when I inspect the pages in chrome I find (what looks to me) the correct *<link rel="canonical" href= in the head of the page.
Why doesn't a page test pick up on the tag? It's totally possible I'm just not understanding what I am looking at, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyone have insight into how websites like amazon rank search pages on google. Like when you search up chewtoy, something like a search page of amazon with "chewtoy" prefilled will be a result even for obscure phrases. Do they manually take best searches and put them in a sitemap or is this something google automatically does for big sites?
I want to know what apps you guys use for seo testing/monitoring/enhancing on your android phones
I'm considering semrush's listing management service and wonder if anyone has used it and if it really helps SEO performace. Also I know their service is through Yext and wonder if it's better to just sign up with Yext directly. Thanks for your input.
A customer of mine hired a local company he was suggested by a friend to re-develop his website and do his SEO, both on-site as well as off-site. They will charge him a hefty amount for the development, including another $500 monthly for an on-going SEO (and another $400 to run his adwords and fb ad campaigns). He sells like 5 products currently ffs and hopes to add another 10 to 20 within a year. Apparently a big part of their technique is owning 1000 sites that they post articles on (I assume) and create backlinks. Now keep in mind, these are not legit sites but made for SEO sites. This sounds extremely black-hat to me, not to mention that Google is surely smarter than that and it should become rather obvious to the algo what is what pretty soon, if not already. Surely this is not the way to go about your SEO if you're a serious company looking to build your brand and sell your own products? He is not a chinese sourced dropshipper looking for a quick buck and then burn it to the ground...
Am I right or am I right? I want to tell him to stay the fuck away from them, but I don't want to give bad advice in case I'm still stuck in 2012.
Hi guys,

Yes
Yes
No
What do you think?
