Would love to get some opinions on the latest Penguin 2.0 update and how on earth the #1 rank is #1 ranked, very, very peculiar...
Any and all theories welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Micheal,
I am going to have to throw my theory/observation out in this case! Just had a quick look at ahrefs and looks like these guys have been doing some major link building in the last couple of weeks (with main keyphrase brisbane seo).

Just too soon to show up in the moz metrics. You wouldn't think this kind of thing would keep them in the top spot for too long, but there you go. **Note to self to check out a couple of the other cases I had seen for very recent funny stuff!

Thanks Lynn for your theory.
I must admit that was one of the things I possibly thought, but again it is so hard to quantify. Surely there are 100's of no opitmisation type sites that could fall into this category, so why this one?
In regards to Penguin it has happened for numerous AU related searches on May 24 that I have been tracking, this is just one example. I do know there have been other algorithm updates in AU potentially too though so may be a combo.

Well, here is a theory, not going to say a completely thought out one!
I have seen quite a few examples like this in industries which could be said to have traditionally attracted seo over-optimisation (specifically travel and gaming related). Almost seems like even the hint of optimization (more than a handful of exact match links) is enough to get a site thrown down the rankings and sites that are really not particularly optimised on site, but definitely do not have much of an optimised link profile are being pushed up to the top.
Of course SEO is another industry that attracts this kind of stuff, although your specific search has a couple of pretty optimised sites in the 2-10 positions, so surely it depends on a whole range of factors.
Not 100% sure this is even exactly related to the recent penguin 2.0 update since I was seeing some flux on various rankings from the first week of May (from Europe).
Actually, thats not much of a theory at all, just an observation!
Maybe Dr Pete will chime in... seems something up his alley......

Should I noindex shop page and blog page for SEO?
I have about 15 products in my store. Should I noindex shop and blog page for SEO? The reason I ask this question is because I see someone suggesting noindex archives pages. And the shop page is product archive and blog page is archive too, so should I choose index or noindex? Thanks!

Crawl anamoly issue on Search Console
Has anyone checked the crwal anamoly issue under the index section on Search console? We recently move to a new site and I'm seeing a huge list of excluded urls which are classified as crawl anamoly (they all lead to 404 page). Does anyone know that if we need to 301 redirect all the links? Is there any other smarter/ more efficiently way to deal with them like set up canonical link (I thought that's what they're used for isn't it?) Thanks!

Disavow or not? Negative SEO
Since last November we have been receiving a lot of low quality backlinks from over 700 websites. It looks like one of our pages from our website has been copied with the links being kept as they are. I have left a link to an example of this here: https://goo.gl/eWQODJ Please note, all examples seem to be copied in the same way. We have also started seeing a decrease in the amount of organic traffic (Analytics Picture), As you can see the decrease is not yet so drastically high, but it is still a decrease and this is the third consecutive month we have seen this decrease. Do you think it is worth it to use Disavow tool for all of these bad link or not? uuuLt

.com geotagging redirect to subdomains - will it affect SEO?
Hi guys, We have a .com domain and we've got geoIP on it, so UK goes to .co.uk and USA goes to .com/us We're just migrating over to another platform so we're thinking of keeping a "dummy" server just to do this geoIP pointing for us. Essentially .com will just point over to the right place and hold a specific .com/abc (which is generic for everyone worldwide) Current Scenario:
White Hat / Black Hat SEO | | Infruition
.com (Magento + geoIP)
.com/us (US Magento)
.co.uk (UK - geoIP redirect to Shopify)
.com/abc (sits on Magento server) Wanted Scenario:
.com - used for GEOIP and a specific .com/abc (for all users)
.co.uk (UK) - Shopify eCom
.com/us -> migration to us.xx.com (USA) - Shopify eCom I just wanted to know if this will affect our rankings on google? Also, any advice as to the best practises here would be great. Thanks! Nitesh0 -
What could go wrong? SEO on mobile site is different than desktop site.
We have a desktop site that has been getting worked on over the year regarding improving SEO. Since the mobile site is separate, the business decided to not spend the time to keep it updated and just turned it off. So any mobile user that finds a link to us in search engines, goes to a desktop site that is not responsive. Now that we're hearing Google is going to start incorporating mobile user friendliness into rankings, the business wants to turn the mobile site back on while we spend months making the desktop site responsive. The mobile site basically has no SEO. The title tag is uniform across the site, etc. How much will it hurt us to turn on that SEO horrid mobile site? Or how much will it hurt us to not turn it on?

How Is Your Approach Towards Adult SEO?
I would like to know how SEOMoz community members approach adult SEO. How do you approach a project when you get one (if you do it that is). If you dont do adult SEO, why do you not do it? Is it because it's much more difficult than normal SEO or do you not want to associate yourself with that industry?
