It appears inbox spam knows no bounds, even on this sacred of grounds
-
LOL! I guess she's not into girls, which is fine by me! LOL!
-
I'm afraid it's looking that way Ryan... she fooled us all.
-
Dunamis is also a cartoon in real life
-
Sarah is a whole lotta woman, one man, even SEO titans like ourselves, is simply not enough for her lusty appetites. Or something like that.
-
Neither did I. We're both female, and our avatars reflect that, which might be why.
-
Wait. Are you saying Sarah's ovations of my suaveness are insincere?!
-
Weird. She never sent one to me.
-
Ha, I got one also, she is playing the field chaps!
-
I'm all about kicking ass.
-
I would imagine EGOL is a good fighter. You've made a wise decision Steve.
-
lol no it's okay it's me and my paranoia... I can't resist with the jokes sometimes and then I panic in case my sense of humour is a bit dark and might offend people.
But on that, there's no way I'd get into a who is the cutest competition with EGOL. I pick my battles carefully so that I can win
(Wouldn't fist fight him either, had my ass kicked before and it wasn't pleasant)
-
Ahh my fault for not reading it properly. I feel really bad though as I still haven't got my message from Sarah!
-
Sorry Steve...I may have jumped the gun. I think it's the mom in me seeing a potential looming problem. I could just picture you and EGOL having a fistfight over who Sarah likes more.
-
Oh, sorry... what did I do?
-
Got it in mine and as soon as I did, reported it to tech support as spam. Got to help keep the moz a spam-free zone!
-
LOL! Boys, play nice!
-
Lately I've been getting a lot of emails telling me that the domain name that I use is about to be taken over by someone else and I need to use this company in order to be able to keep it.
It's a bit of a concern though that people are using seomoz profile data to email you.
Or then again, maybe Sarah thinks you're cute.
EDIT: Maybe she thinks you're cute and she also thinks EGOL is cute.
-
Steve, that's a good way to get the "thumbs down".
-
I'm hurt... she's obviously been two timing us
-
Even in your SEOmoz inbox? I mean yeah I get tonnes to my normal email but this is a first for me to get one actually on this site.
Haha, yeah I've had a few million headed for my bank account if I'm willing to provide the details too. I've been tempted to give it to them for comedy value, just so they get excited only to find out there's nothing in my bank lol.
Hard to believe but I guess some people must really fall for that stuff, or they wouldn't keep doing it.
Still, Sarah sounds lovely hey?!
-
I got it.
-
I didn't get that email but I do get emails like that from time to time,usually asking for money for a 'flight' to see me!
I also get emails from people on occasion informing me that a distant relative of mine has died and they want to give me my share of it ; quite a good deal actually - all I have to do is give over all my bank details and they'll transfer the 200 million.

If I am getting links on competitor websites, is it safe to assume those competitors are doing this to hurt our SEO?
We have received a few notification from Google Webmaster Tools and Moz that our competitors have "mentioned" our page on their website. This is incredibly odd as you wouldn't think they'd want to do this. Further, when I go to the page that we are supposedly mentioned on, the link to our site is not on the page. What is going on? Thank you in advance for your insights!!

Can anyone explain these crazy SERPS?
do a UK based search for 'short term loans' on google. there are 7 sites on page 1 without any page or domain authority, several of them registered to a 'jeremy hughes', who I am guessing does not really exist. this is a very competitive term and they just shouldn't be making it onto page 1. im thinking this must be some clever 301 redirecting, as I cant see any backlinks to any of these sites in opensiteexplorer. any ideas how these sites are pulling this off?

Can anyone tell me why this site ranks so well?
Site in question: cellphoneshop.net From what I can tell from their link profile, the links they garner don't appear to be particularly high value but they dominate organic listings for my vertical (cell phone accessories), esp. in the last 2-3 months when Google was supposedly increasing the quality of their search results. Can anyone tell me why in particular this site ranks so well for competitive short and long tail terms?

Will my association's network of sites get penalized for link farming?
Before beginning I found these similar topics here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/multiple-domains-on-same-ip-address-same-niche-but-different-locations http://www.seomoz.org/q/multiple-domains-on-1-ip-address We manage over two dozen dental sites that are individually owned through out the US. All these dentists are in a dental association which we also run and are featured on (http://www.acedentalresource.com/). Part of the dental associations core is sharing information to make them better dentists and to help their patients which in addition to their education, is why they are considered to be some of the best dentists in the world. As such, we build links from what we consider to be valuable content between the sites. Some sites are on different IPs and C-Blocks, some are not. Given the fact that each site is only promoting the dentist at that brick and mortar location but also has "follow" links to other dentists' content in the network we fear that we are in the grey area of link building practices. Questions are: Is there an effective way to utilize the power of the network if quality content is being shared? What risks are we facing given our network? Should each site be on a different IP? Would having some of our sites on different servers make our backlinks more valuable than having all of our sites under the same server? If it is decided that having unique IPs is best practice, would it be obvious that we made the switch? Keep in mind that ALL sites are involved in the association, so naturally they would be linking to each other, and the main resource website mentioned above. Thanks for your input!

Are moz analytics now redundant ?
Whilst there have been quite a few q & a's and one or two posts on the blog about the google onslaught on "unnatural" links, with over 1 million sites impacted I'm surprised Moz hasn't said more about this. With google now muddying the waters even further about what is natural or not (with due respect to Moz, if you're not a brand like Moz, the vast majority of seo's buy some links one way or the other) with all the uncertainty, how is it now possible to trust any metrics about links ? In essence, does Domain Rank and Domain Trust now mean anything in the new google world and can they be relied upon ? No doubt someone will come back and say that a lot don't buy any links. Fair enough but the reality is that most do some kind of deals for links, writing in niches like law it is very difficult to get people to share content. Simply a fact. The Serps are in a mess. Google has replaced many decent sites who played the game to one degree or another, with a lot of sites that are worthless, not bothering with links or content,, so rising by default ! Directory sites seem to be doing better again, because, you guessed it, they are brands like yell.

Can I get harmed by an inlink?
Hi! I'll jump right in to my question. There's a webpage with the following stats:
White Hat / Black Hat SEO | | mozalbin
PA 80, mR 4.70, mT 5.00. Pagerank ZERO. Now, these are some beautiful stats for every webpage, except for the pagerank. The reason to why the pagerank is so low is that the inlinks to this site is partial spammy (hidden links and other bad naughty black-hat stuff that I hate). (It's not my webpage, I don't even know whos webpage this is..) I happen to have a backlink from this page. A clean dofollow, in-content link to my site. The total amount of external links on this page is five and there's no spam on the page or hidden anywhere else. My question #1:
Is this particular inlink to my site harmful? Will I get penaltized for getting a backlink from this site? I mean, Google have figured out the spam factor of the links to the page that is linking to me. But I'm innocent, the link to me is just lying there... (Why or why not?) My question #2:
IF (and only IF) the link to my webpage is harmful. Are links from my page harmful? (Why or why not?) Thank you very much for using you awesome knowledge to answer this 🙂0
