Why Breadcrumbs don't work on my web page?
-
I tried 2 types of breadcrumbs plugins. Last - Yoast
Breadcrumbs. But result is the same - they don't show up in the footer. I
followed direction and made settings - result is the same. Any ideas?Thank you!

Awesome, Nadejda! Cheers, Jon

Thank you! But were I will find a code?
-
Thank you Jon! I will do this!!!

I did not see the Yoast breadcrumb code in your source code. Yoast's plugin does not automatically enable the breadcrumbs. Were you aware? You'll need to add the code to generate them in your template files.

Hey,
It's likely you have a conflict in the theme - I see you are using http://www.artisteer.com for example. Don't know if that's the issue or the main one.
But when I have these issues, I would create a "vanilla' version and test the breadcrumb feature, and add plugins and themes back after you've verified it working. That way, you'll see when and what breaks it.
So - do this:
-
disable current theme, enable basic wp theme (that comes out-of-the-box)
-
deactivate all plugins
-
activate just the plugin that deals with breadcrumbs
-
test it
-
start adding plugins back
-
add the theme back
You may want to create a separate test domain for this if you can't "play" with your existing domain.
Finally - ask this - "Am I adding breadcrumbs for users or search engines benefit?" I often see folks adding breadcrumbs because they think it will help their SEO. Think about this: A 2-level depth structure in your website doesn't need it, for example. Plan out your architecture/navigation first, make it "user friendly" - and don't use breadcrumbs as "patch-work" (that's what this feels like, but I have not checked your site)
Sorry for being so direct.
Cheers, Jon

How does a business have a link back where I can't see the anchor text?
So, I'm running competitor websites through Open Site Explorer and following the link from Moz to where their link is coming from. It has the anchor text 'Christmas Gifts'. When I go to that page there is no mention of this anchor text. No mention of that persons website. No display ad's that could be providing that link. How is this link pointing to their page?

Spam sites republish a article with 'money keyword' anchor text and causing a pentalty.. how to prevent.
About 6 weeks ago we had a DA50 / PA50 homepage site publish an article on our company which included a money keyword anchor text to our site.. Great. Once this happened we shot up the SERP for this term, but quite a few other spam / crawler sites seem to automatically republish everything this DA50 site publishes. This didnt seem to be a problem up until a couple of weeks ago, but now with the new penguin update it seems we have been slapped with a penalty, for having 20 sites all with the same article and anchor text. (the rest of our profile is pretty natural, so this is the main culprit for the penalty) Im now going to write to all the webmasters apart from the DA50 site, and ask them to remove the article, failing that ill have to disavow them. For future reference what is there a way of avoiding this issue of spam sites republishing a propper article and triggering a penalty.

What Makes A 'Natural Link Profile'?
I find it hard to recognize unnatural link patterns when the links to my site are so familiar. It can be hard to see the wood for the trees! How many links from one site is too many? Does it depend on the size of the site? Thanks for your advice on this.

1 page 2 keywords?
Hello folks, I have a problem with optimizing a page for 2 different keywords. Here is the situation: On-page: Both keywords in title; both words in body text (I didn't count them but approximately 3-4 times for 100 words in total) Off-page: Exact anchor text from article directories, Synonym & Brand anchors from directories. My link building shcedule is as inconsistent as possible. I just keep around 50 links per week. I do social sharing, guest blogging with exact/synonym anchor text links and also I link to other pages across the whole site. I try to avoid site bar and footer links although I have some because it's partner links, I didn't buy them. I even asked web masters to put nofollow tag to those link after the drop because I was concerned that Penguin considers them bought links. The result: 1st keyword is going quite well, it reached 5th postion but after that dropped to the second page, which more or less I can explain with various factors such as overal keyword competition, maybe penguin thought that some links are spammy. The problem is that the second keyword is disaster. I found it in SERP after 1 month hard work on 17th page and now it is swinging between 14th and 17th page. Honestly, I am confused. Is it possible that link building with 2 keywords to the same page creates self canibalization of some kind? Just to remind that the 2 keywords are quite different, i,e. there are not related as synonyms or similar. Do you guys have had similar problem? Thanks in advance for your advice

Page authority vs domain authority
when evaluating a website for a potential link request, do you focus more on page authority or domain authority? do you use them together? what about when the two numbers are very far apart?
