Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey @PerceptionDB did you try emailing help@moz.com ?

Hey @infinitejoo, you might have better luck emailing help@moz.com

@mark_seomoz1 If i understand you want to see who is linking to you and if HTTP vs htts? don't forget you can use Search engine console too! Wouldnt a sort in e.g. Google sheets work for this? just sort via HTTP then split via text to collum to get domains and de-dupe and it will roughly show you domains doing that in a few min.

Unless you are chasing some hypostasis as long as your site is https it really isn't much to worry about nor much you can do.

Hey @netcomsia you are right, you can disavow the whole domain via domain:NAME.com if you don't want to associate the domain go for it and it will save you some work.

@solvewebmedia -

No problem, I've not gotten on with Yoast in some time, seems more like it's trying to sell than help in the last few years! Content won't do any more harm at a minimum but at best it should help establish pages. You can also see 'pilar pages' by Hubspot as a helpful way on how to create your content around central ideas. You just have to look at the site and wonder why Google would ignore the meta. Good luck with it.

hey @solvewebmedia

i've only jsut gotten around to your question, sorry. I can see you now have rank math running on your site not sure if you are still using yoast and its conflicted but regards to the issue, Google, if it feels your descriptions don't fix what it wants, will ignore them.

I would also advise looking over your schema - https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result/r%2Flocal-business?id=k4ZxvOE0tUDyI7v5g3fx6w as that's a bit odd and might be giving some mixed signals.

The biggest area I would start on is content lets look at your image and take e.g. 'Catered ski chalets' You don't really have an intro text that google might use to help get some context of the page and yes you do have meta but does it relate to the rest of the page ? remember Googles a robot so look at that page and try to think what its about as there is a lot of pricing but not much info on what is happening etc.

Hope some of that helps and best of luck.

@aaaannieee I'm going to be frank and honest - it doesn't matter!
Really you will want to pick one domain and redirect the other into it. You can set up Search engine console on both so you can track any issues, you can have more than one SEC for one domain e.g. HTTP & www.

In short, if the www. has the data on SEC use that, redirect the HTTP: into it and if you want to be safe set up HTTP in SEC to track though it should remain 'empty'

Hope that helps and good luck.

@0eup-ombitao TLD - Top level domain is to help sites e.g. you might find you go to a .co.uk for UK sites etc. its not essential to ranks though, if lots of links are related to the source material you'll find you can rank regardless. The biggest reason I would swap is your users, are they used to going to .com domains or .ae domains which do they trust more? Just remember Google wants to give users what it thinks is the best result for a search not which TLD is most related to the country

Hey ForestGT,

Moz is just a tool so unfortunately it wont help you rank, what it is helpful for is identifying opportunities - sounds like you've been doing that via the page optimization tool. It is also really helpful for letting you know if you've done something what impact that may have had e.g. if you've created some content did it gain some links?

SEO doesn't really have one thing to help rank its a combination of things and keeping track of what you are doing and what impact they are having is where Moz might be able to help. Sorry its taken a while to get a response I don't check into Q&A as much as I like as the interface became a bit more tricky!

I hope that helps and don't give up hope! If you're still feeling lost try to Moz guide on SEO and look at one keyword that's not too hard on competition and be patient ranking can take weeks sometimes months!

Hey @ciehmoz

Just replied to your other thread, you will need one robot.txt per site. Referring to two sitemaps in one robots.txt will confuse Google.

Info here - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/robots_txt

Good Luck

Hi Guys,

I've been asked to pull up the DA for a site from the last couple of months and for the life of me I can't seem to work out how to pull a history of DA for a site.  it's only the previous three months but how can I do it?

Thanks in advanced.

Hello,

In theory Nofollow links have no impact on search rankings this is what Google tells us etc. but no follow links do make a link profile look more natural (100% follow links look bad) and there has been some observations (though no proof) that they can assist you. Although they don't transfer link juice they do transfer visitors which again can help.

So when you see an opportunity don't be put off by the no follow link, if it will benefit users go for it as its the users you are trying to help.

Hell,

first off here is some help - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en

the way it works is lets say you've got two bits of content on two different areas of a site but it will only index one (and mark other as a duplicate) Example :

www.books.com/author

&

www.books.com/genre/author

Now these may be the same  content, what we would then do is put a canonical tag  on the duplicate  page pointing to the page we wanted to be indexed ( I would recommend using one thats closer to the domain) so on www.books.com/genre/author we would put the tag -

What this does it tells Google this page is a duplicate of this one (the one in the link) Google will then ignore that page and only index the page in the canonical

**In Short**
Canonical is used for duplicate content if you only need one page to been indexed and want to avoid duplicate content issues.
if you have duplicate content its perfect for you.

Hope that helps clear it up

Hello,

BEHOLD : https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1708844?hl=en

or

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2539557?hl=en

You want this number -110174750926862024398 which is your Google+ id and if from what I gather you want a +1 on your site you want this Find us on Google+

and here is another helpful link https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/

hopefully that helps. Let me know if you want me to go into further details on those. but in short you need to link your G+ to your site.

I wouldn't focus on PR as the metric is not getting updated very often and is probably going to be retired very soon, you may find the following a good read- http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt-cutts-no-more-pagerank-updates-this-year-173676

When redirected don't push the whole site to one page try to move each page (obviously depends on the size of the site) to a relevant page so you won't loose as much juice, you will loose some however. It also depends if its the same relevancy as to what Google thinks of your redirect. You will loose some, you can look up some of Matt Cutts talks on 301 redirects he has a few videos about on it.

Good Luck

Keep your pants on there before you go and jump ship, did you go to the reports section and take a look? You will find that you can create monthly reports (there are a few topics on it if you want to do a quick search)

t3WncEC

It really makes no difference as they would both be around the same, I would recommend YouTube as it is another search engine giving you even more opportunities to be found.

You're correct the best practice is to no-follow site wide links this was you can still be found but without any trouble. You can always request to leave the homepage link as follow so you still maintain the best link juice.  even if we ignore the penalty aspect it really just dilutes the links you have which isn't helping you either.

Good luck.

Short answer - Yes

slightly less short answer -  just like most people add www. and none www. to webmasters its good to do the same for secure sites while not essential its good to make sure you've got all bases covered also means you don't miss any communications from Google that may come through that site. Let me know if you want more info and ill do my best to get it to you.

Lets look at this another way, lets ignore the DA & PA etc. and look at it in terms of who will be there.

Will the sponsorship gain you visibility in your niche?

Will you get visits through the links that could turn into a conversion ?

A link that is no follow but has a lot of visits through it can be far more valuable than a follow link that doesn't really have any visits through it. Look at it as a large package and the link is just part of it.  Back on topic the authority is good and if its in your niche even better it just depends on how quickly you think you can get that money back via your site

Sorry my answer isn't super helpful but really I can tell you the link but as to the cost its really up to you I would suggest you look at it as a larger picture.

Best of Luck.
