Welcome to the Q&A Forum

None of my campaigns with moz appear to be showing any data for a few weeks now. Any ideas?

thx

does this mean that dir.yahoo links are not counted in DA calculation?

Hi There

I was just checking www.cellartours.com on opensiteexplorer and I noticed that it was missing a link from yahoo directory http://dir.yahoo.com/business_and_economy/shopping_and_services/travel_and_transportation/tour_operators/culinary/  sixth from the top. That's kinda big one to be missing, no?

I currently have a .com domain which I am think of duplicating the content on to another tld, CO.UK (and regionalize some aspects like contact numbers etc). From my research, it seems that in gwt you must then indicate which country you wish to target, in the co.uk case the UK. My question is how should I handle rel canonical in the duplicated site. should it rel canonical back to the .com or the co.uk? Any other pointers would also be appreciated.

Thx

This is a good read. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world I think you should be careful with robot.txt because blocking access to the bot will not cause them to remove the content from their index. They will simply include a message saying not quite sure what's on this page.. I would use noindex to clear out the index first before attempting robot.txt exclusion.

What's nothing to do with google. It's an open site explorer issue. A simple check of the page source on bbb will determine if google will count it as a link.

What the domain.?

You can disavow links in GWT.

Don't use nofollow as long as you are happy that the content to not duplicated else where. On the link anchor, I would try and be as informative as possible, so the visitor has some idea of what they will get when they click.

In the robots.txt disallow the directory http://www.robotstxt.org/

you might want to check your apache config. currently the above link is showing a directory list. I think you are missing index.html

There was a Panda Algorithm update at the start of November around the 5th. panda will penalize sites that duplicate content, are of low quality and supply a bad user experience. Load times would be attributed to user experience. I think your website probably ticks a few of these boxes. Your best bet is to research Googe Panda, and see if you can uncheck the boxes.

I am beginning to think that these factors as outline my @Journeyman actualyl can get you some penalty points. And end up reducing your overall ranking.

I think it is as Matt Cutts and Rand have being saying for ages. Write content for people not machines.
