Ask Me Anything About SEO (2019 edition)

@crossbg, you did mention 2-3 times to use expired domains to 301 to main domain for SEO benefits and now I paid attention to your profile picture, showing dnmark dot com.

I checked your site and expired domains is exactly what you sell! And here I thought you were doing this to help out others. Pity.

Yeh, am not sure it's right to castigate him for his business. And nothing wrong for sharing ideas based off his personal experience.
 
Hi Blackhatters..
So I feel the Google language like native for me. That's why I decided to open a thread where you can get help for ranking your website - sorry if there is an excisting topic.

If you need a piece of advice regarding your SEO - that's the right thread for you :). I will try to reply in a few minutes although that's not possible every time.
Hi i have nill knowledge about this black hat hacking plzz help meee...
 
You should translate them and make unique secriptions for all products... at least it will become better for users. Regarding the PR articles in news sites - everything depends on their authority. I wouldn't suggest it as I know most of bg sites just spam in Facebook. Sitemap trick - create a page with links to all products and then point some HQ, authority links to the sitemap.

So, I must translate and create unique descriptions to over 12,000 products, is that correct? :D I already know that all the users would love or prefer their native language, but the number of products isn't low. So, let's say that i'm targeting the market in Plovdiv. Would you suggest me to get links from news sites that have been active for years now - plovdiv24, traffic and etc. I think that for the appliances niche, it would be rather hard to find niche-related sites? What advice would you give me to kickstart my traffic and link building.

P.S: This is a multinational forum and there are thousands of people here, so it's normal that there would be negative comments :)

"experience in BG"

The abbreviation "BG" stands for the country Bulgaria, which is located on the Balkans.
 
Does many outbound (footer-sitewide) d0follow links have negative impact on SEO?
 
Hey guys,
I had some problems with members trying to destroy the thread in some way and that’s why I didn’t have any time to respond all of you. However, I will do that tomorrow evening.

Note to all of you;
I won’t respond to any people that don’t need my help and just want to argue in some way;
I won’t reply to same questions again -please read what’s going on before asking

And last but not least - have a good day :)

How do I know if my drop in my traffic is from my position in the search ranking or some other factor? My site is 2 years old and i did use some Fiverr backlinking but only one gig.

Well, I thing the key is in the last sentence. These gigs are not checked by anyone and it may be everything inside the box. You have checked your Ahrefs or something else to find if there are tons of links without any quality? If so, try using the disavow tool by google which will help a bit.
 
I have a question about hypens in the domain name. Are they good, bad or do not matter?

For example I want to start a site under www.thisismykeyword.com

Can search engines pick up each word in the domain name or does it see it as one long funny looking new word?

Would www.this-is-my-keyword.com better?

Thanks!
 
Hi crossbg, what's the best way to generate traffic to my Etsy store and my Teespring store in 2019?
On the Etsy store, I create hand-painted canvas shoes to any style, therefore, each shoe is unique. Currently, I Tweet each finished item with a bitly link to it and I also post on Instagram, again with the link to the store.
Now, sales are very slow, could be the market, could be the season. But how could I increase traffic to this store.
Similarly with my Teespring store, I have over 70+ designs, each one a slogan of some sort, within a particular niche. Again, I post the link on Instagram (no direct link) and Pinterest (click links direct to the store), but not having much sales at all. Again, could be the season, or the styles.
Any valuable hints, tips, would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Crossbg,

What do mean with page-sitemap ?

The 301 redirects are a nice strategy if used properly. People are actively using them these days (however I have been doing this on my sites since long time ). I suggest pointing these redirects to the sitemap of your site - it needs to pe a page-sitemap, not this kind that is generated only for Google. That is a strange but very effective way to increase the trust of all pages listed there.

Thanks for doing this.
 
How can I sort a keyword with 600,000 monthly searches on a new site?

Domains with hyphones are always with lower value..you can see all auctions for example - domains with hyphens are almost never featured and the price is lower. What I wanna say is you can do that - I've seen some domains with hyphen that rank on first postion but this is not the best way. It is used when you really want this domain but it's not available. If this is not the case and you are just asking - of course the first one. It is easier to read, better for Google.

I habe never worked with Etsy. You have seen that this kind of products are best comvertable on the social media - maybe try Instagram and Facebook adverts? Are you selling something unique that can't be seen anywhere else or?

You just create a simple page without anything on your site and put links to all posts. You can do it via a plugin but it is not always necesarry. There are also XML sitemaps, that's why I said a regular page.

What do you exactly mean? Aking me how to find these KWDs, how to rank on them, how to use them?
Hi, nice thread man ;)

Thank you,
Well, I prefer to put some tags. The response why is quite long - I've just found an article - wpkube.com/wordpress-categories-tags/.
 
How many domains can i 301 to my money site?
And how much weeks/months do I need to wait before doing 301 again?
I have some good expired domains but I don't think using them as PBNs are effective enough.

I'd tell as many as you want because this is considered as a "grey" technique - there is no such rule that disallow them. But act carefully.
 
Great thread!

Wanted to ask if placing amazon affiliate links inside your blog posts(guides/tutorials) affects the SEO negatively?

Placed some products in already written articles and some keyword position are being dropped in those articles. Normal?

Just overheard this theory somewhere that "Google does not like amazon sites".

There are tons of websites that are created only to earn from Amazon. I have read that, too but don't you think it's silly? Everyone has the choise to monetize his project in a way that he wants. BUT Google hates websites that have zero value to their users - a site with 10 articles with crappy content full of aff links is a good way to get outranked.
Google is always dancing which is pretty normal. Use a keyword tracker to make sure you get accurate positioning - checking them from your device gives you personalised results.

Good luck!
