    Idexed or not indexed?

    See usually, I'd assume this to be the case ... but there is correlation between the reports saying they're indexed and Search Console's 'latest links' report. The ones Ahrefs and Moz are saying are not indexed do not show in 'latest links'... again, despite them showing in a google search

    Idexed or not indexed?

    For years I have assumed the definition of 'indexed' was if I could find the page in Google..... I've been running my backlinks through several index checkers and they're saying that my links are not indexed (despite them showing up in google). What definition of 'indexed' are they using?

    Index Service Led to algorithm penalty..

    OK - I understand, in hindsight, you're probably correct... I'll get them removed!

    Index Service Led to algorithm penalty..

    I rather stupidly tanked my website on Google. I had built some back links pointing to my website that I wanted to be indexed. As in the past index services are so hit and miss, I decided to purchase 5 in one go - Stupid of me I know Within three days of paying for this service my website...

    Black Hat 301 Question and hiding backlinks.

    How to make your opponent's search rankings decline

    Perfect example of drowning out bad press: 2 months ago if you googled 'Boris Johnson Bus' a the only result was him lying about the money the NHS would gain if we left the EU. Then when he's running for PM he drops in to an interview that he likes drawing and building buses to relax from the...

    Foreign SEO: Link Building Like It’s 2012

    That's really interesting. I'm quite excited to test this out. My German language site doesn't really get much traffic anyway compared to my main sites so I think I have nothing to lose. I'm going to 'throw everything' at it over the next three months as an experiment. Maybe I'll update results...

    Can any one explain this bizarre attempt at negative SEO?

    OK so i have a suspicion that my site is being targeted by negative SEO. I'm having literally 1000s of domains appear in Google Search Console. They look spammy - example : usacancerclub.xyz I click on any of the links they all redirect to here: https://www.cbdpure.com/ which appears to be a...

    Stripe blocked my payments, what can I do?

    Short term? set up paypal? Can be done pretty swiftly and pain free Whilst you're waiting for verification from Stripe you can also create another Stripe account under a seperate email and link it to your site - this worked for me on one of my shopify accounts. New accounts normally take upto...

    Is replicated your content in another language duplicate content?

    I do a lot of guest posting in English but i have just launched a German store and thought an easy way to get a lot of German guest posts would be to just replicate the content I've already written and get it all translated into German and reuse it all. Would google recognise i did this? Would...

    Just to add to this you need to leave 'some finger prints' - a real review obviously has real finger prints. you just need to mix it up randomly

    How to do multiple trustpilot reviews

    I can help with this one - I used to work at Trustpilot. They have a complex algorithm that looks at various factors in your review, assigns a probability that it is fake Things to cosider - They have software that analyses your screen size - use an add on to Tor called Canvas - this blocks...

    G Webmaster Incorrect Position Listings?

    You say 74k queries. But from the looks of it your URL is only appearing 105 times in a week? The average position for those 105 impressions may indeed be 1. May be a particular locale perhaps - you need to find out who it is appearing #1 for , and then figure out why it isnt ranking for the...

    Can a backlink from Tumblr to my money site also penalize it?

    As a rule of thumb, if I can't assess the quality beforehand I do not purchase it unless I have a great pre-existing relationship with the vendor. Best to err on the side of caution with your money site - especially if you use it to pay your bills!

    PICRIGHTS ask me to pay 1200$ for using a picture I found on google

    I wouldn't lump the UK/EU in with the US due to the way damages works in the US. The plaintiff can not normally claim costs even if the complainant loses hence all the frivolous cases that go to court over there and the 'sue me' culture . Pics right is a parasitic scam. Even if you have...
