block primary . xxx domain with disavow tool
-
Hi friends I discovered spam url attack on top sites with good google positions for specific keyword.
Can I block primary domain like .xxx with disavow tool? There is hundreds of different domains but primary domain is always the same.
for example like this domain:xxx?
Thanks

Hi webmaster,
As far as I know, Google disavow tool does not have the option to block by domain extension.
But there are some workarounds. If I was in your place, I would do a reverse IP lookup. The lookup can help find out which domains are hosted on this notorious IP address. The chances are it is some link farm. In many cases, one IP address can have hundreds and even thousands of domains on it.
If you have found many domains on one IP address, you can block them in advance. I should note that spammers may have a couple of such IP addresses or even dozens. I hope that it is not your case.
Alternatively, you can complain about the spammer to Google
(manual action).The key here is to identify the spammer and understand where the spam is coming from. Think like a detective.

Unsolved GMB Local SEO question
I am trying to diagnose how one particular competitor is smoking us in local rankings. I came across a text field “Service Details' within Google My Business Services. This allows me to put in a brief description of each service we offer. My thought is that this could be a good place for keywords. That said, the descriptions are not public facing (or to the best of my knowledge) so I am reluctant to do all the work for nothing. I am wondering if anyone has filled these out and if there were any noticeable results. Any insight is appreciated

Sub Domain Usage
I see that the gap uses gap.com, oldnavy.gap.com and bananarepublic.gap.com. Wouldn't a better approach for SEO to have oldnavy.com, bananarepublic.com and gap.com all separate? Is there any benefit to using the approach of store1.parentcompany.com, store2.parentcompany.com etc? What are the pros and cons to each?

301 redirect subdirectory to new domain
I'm planning on using 301 redirects to spin out a subdirectory of my current website to be its own separate domain. For instance, I currently have a website www.website.com and my writers write tech news at www.website.com/news. Now I want to 301 redirect www.website.com/news to www.technews.com. Will this have any negative impact on SEO? What are some steps that I can take to minimize these impacts?

Is it safe to 301 redirect old domain to new domain after a manual unnatural links penalty?
I have recently taken on a client that has been manually penalised for spammy link building by two previous SEOs. Having just read this excellent discussion, http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lifting-a-manual-penalty-given-by-google-personal-experience I am weighing up the odds of whether it's better to cut losses and recommend moving domains. I had thought under these circumstances it was important not to 301 the old domain to the new domain but the author (Lewis Sellers) comments on 3/4/13 that he is aware of forwards having been implemented without transferring the penalty to the new domain. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lifting-a-manual-penalty-given-by-google-personal-experience#jtc216689 Is it safe to 301? What's the latest thinking?
