I think the site was penalized in trust because of this. I changed the site structure from /companies/insurance/home-insurance/ to /company/insurance/home-insurance/ to /insurance/home-insurance/. Currently, all structures are indexed. When I search for a page, sometimes I get the newest two...

Has anyone recovered from such a penalty and if so, how long, ballpark, does it take to recover from such a penalty? Lets say your website was severely penalized back in August of last year for having thin content. You realize the problem this year on the 22nd of March, and you fix the entire...

I've been trying to find threads about this but I haven't been successful. How important is the homepage of a website? By this question I mean is it almost a penalty for the whole website if a homepage is too "generic"? I used to go for something that looked authoritative. By this, I mean a...

Does someone know if the domain name can have such a significant impact on CTR and UX, that it makes SEO for that website almost impossible? I'm talking naming a cooking blog "Michael.com" instead of something cooking related. I've struggled with a website for five years and the only weakness...

I've struggled for 5 years with a particular domain. I really like the name. It's short and brandable. But, I've struggled with it since 2020. I've thought I've had it figured out each month, only to find something else I think is holding it back. It's now 2025 and I'm finally realizing, maybe...

The last thing I'm suspecting holding our website back is our domain name. Its name doesn't resemble the website at all. It kind of has the name of a payment processor, like PayPal, and the website is for comparing services. I'm considering changing it because I wonder if the name negatively...

I'm talking the old "What is a loan?", "How do you get a loan?" type of content where the goal is to stuff as much keywords and LSI as naturally possible for the hope of ranking? GPT tells me it's necessary for Google to determine authority, but is it really? I see a lot of old website with...

Hello, before I explain why I'm asking, I'll ask, does anyone know if someone has seen a significant rank increase after adding meta descriptions to all pages on their site? Studies, cases online or perhaps users on BHW? During my 5 years in SEO, surprisingly, I've fallen for the misbelief that...

Recently my website was hit with a "penalty" of sorts, I believe and I have spent all of the latter part of last year, and the first half of this year trying to figure out what the issue is. I have noticed that Google has been selecting the meta titles for a lot of my pages as of the last year...

I've noticed that recently most of the links I build to my site with outreach, on actual and proper websites, are not being indexed In one example I checked the website's sitemap and saw that every article that was published before mine is indexed, and every article published after is indexed...

Per the title Healthline.com is a great example because it ranks so well on so many keywords but yet I don't see any affiliate links, no ads on the websites, nothing How do websites like that monetize themselves?

Has anyone tried disavowing your own domain? Does this work? Does it have a negative effect? I just saw in my disavow file that I had accidentally included the URL to my startpage in my disavow file. I’ve had huge ranking issues the past few months. Nothing I tried had any effect at all (and I...

If I have two unordered lists, one that I plan to show on mobile and one on desktop. I hide respective list with CSS if the user's not browsing on the platform it's intended for. Eg ul.desktop will be displayed if desktop and ul.mobile if on mobile. What are the rules regarding this SEO-wise...

I've been desperate for 2 days. My subscription ran out 2 days ago and I really need to look a domain up. My work's stalled because of it. I can't move on after I know the topic of this one domain. Would really appreciate it if anybody with an account can help me look it up. I want to avoid...

Before buying a backlink, what do you look at before making the decision to buy the link? I used to go by Trust Flow alone - then I started hearing about Ahrefs UR/DR metrics being great. All I look at today is referring domains and UR/DR - I don't value TF that much, but I've started to feel...

Just wondering if anyone has any insight when it comes to the title? Tried Googling around and wasn't successful finding much information. I've got a site that I've built a lot of links to, but no links appear in the Webmaster's console and the website doesn't rank yet. Makes one think if there...

I recently gave my website a few links on my PBN (3 weeks ago) and I added it to a few catalogues, yet the Google Webmaster's Console barely lists any links? I've checked the protocol of the links, all are htt]ps and www, yet in the property that has that protocol and subdomain, barely any links...

How does Google choose what words to highlight in the meta description? My meta-description has keywords my competitors have as well - yet Google chooses to highlight their keywords, but mine remain regular? Attached an example I googled "test case" and navigated to page 2 Some websites have...

What metric is the most important when it comes to selecting expired domains to build out your PBN? Or just create a brand new moneysite for that matter? Do you guys value TF more than say Domain Authority? And what do you guys think about Ahref's brand new "Domain Rating" metric? These values...

Hello I have a quick question. When rebuilding a website meant for PBN purposes and restoring the website's contents from archives. Do I keep the links that are inside the contents? Eg anchor-tags and others, or is that a waste of linkjuice? If it's a waste, how many of the links should I keep...
