Hi all, I run a content website where I will sometimes do a blog post along the lines of "My Review On This Produt - Is It Any Good?" Problem: over the past few years, user reviews sites have overtaken me in search result. When you type "This Product Reviews" on Google, sites like Trustpilot and...

Hi all, I have set up a widget that appears on every blog post (basically and ad for one of my clients). So on every post, there's the same image, same ~50 words and same CTA button that often have nothing to do with the rest of the article. Is that bad for SEO? Or can Google understand that...

I recently got two backlinks on two articles both behind paywalls. I checked the source codes: I could find my link on one but not on the other. Is Google going to be able to read these links? Are they going to count for mybacklink profile? How can I check that? Thanks

Hi all, You know these URLs: https://mydomain.com/#abc I've been told that the two same URLs with and without a hashtag at the end are considered different by Google. The SEO benefit being that more "link juice" is passed if there's twice the same URL on the same page with and without #...

Hi all, I have exchanged 2 links from my site A to the partner's site. In exchange, the partner has given me 2 links from the same page to my sites A and B. I chose that page because it was high-ranking on relevant keywords. Is it a problem? I have both sites under the same account on...

Hi all, I use Yoast to append my site name after my post titles. As a result, my title tags look like this: Come And Read My Beautiful New Post - My Site Name I just noticed that my site name at the end makes the title tag too long on many of my posts. So, should I just remove the "- My...

Hi all, Does anyone know if getting 2 backlinks from the same URL pointing to 2 websites that I own is risky? Google knows that I own them both because they are on the same Analytics account. If Google sees that on one site, there happens to be 2 links pointing to 2 sites that have the same...

Hi all, I have 2 sites ranking well on the same niche. Currently, there is only 1 backlink from the biggest site to the smallest, linking from and to a page on the same topic that ranks well on Google for the same keyword. It's as if I had both domains house.com and houses.com and linked...

Hi, A website in my niche suggested a link echange. I want to have them link to one of my pages, but that page already has a reciprocal backlink from another website. If I get 2 backlinks pointing to the same page and both come from reciprocal link exchanges, is that a red flag for Google...

Hi all, Does anyone know if it makes any difference SEO-wise to have an accordion-style FAQ (expandable), as opposed to just a list of questions and answers (i.e. all expanded by nature)? Or is it just purely for aesthetics? Since it improves the UX, maybe it is also good for SEO? Thanks !

Hi all, does anybody know how much of a difference it makes in terms of SEO if my URL is: https://site.com/my-exact-keyword versus https://site.com/this-is-my-exact-keyword-check-it-out ? For a new page, I think it's always better to use the first one (correct me if I'm wrong). But for an old...

So I've heard a few times that cloaking links (using WP plugins such as Pretty Links) is not ideal for SEO as Google wants the link to show the "real" destination page, not something like "mysite.com/go/targetsite.com". Is this true? Should I replace all my cloaked links with "naked"...

Hi all, I'm making quite a lot of review posts and I've been wondering: since apparently linking to authority sources is a good thing in SEO, does it make sense for me to link to the Trustpilot page of the product that I'm reviewing, even though that Trustpilot page ranks on the SERP for my...

Hi all, I've had my site audited by an SEO expert, and he told me that cloaked links (mysite.com/go/affiliateprogram) may hurt my SEO. He said that the best way to do it would be to remove the cloaking and set links on nofollow. I've lost 80% of my traffic since November 2019 and I still can't...

Hello, I have a personal finance blog and I've registered it on this famous finance-niche directory: https://directory.rockstarfinance.com/personal-finance-blogs/ Do you think it really makes a difference? Or is it doing more harm than good? After all, the easier it is to get a link, the less...

Hi all, I have some sitewide links (in the header menu, footer menu and sidebar) that are mildly useful, I was wondering if deleting these links would give the remaining ones more "link juice"? For example: - In my footer menu, I have a link to my homepage. This might be optional since the...

Hi all, so a few years ago I was still young and naive, and I accepted all guest blogging requests. I thought "why not, he seems like a nice chap and I'll get free content!" Well actually, some of these bloggers that I thought were newbies were in fact very experienced SEOs and were using all...
