Is SEMrush Going Out Of Business?
-
We subscribe to both Moz and SEMrush to help administer our sites. However, SEMrush, which used to update our campaigns once per day, hasn't been functioning for over one month now ... and it isn't just our campaigns, people are complaining about their service all over the internet. Still, they haven't posted a single status update on their blog or on any of their social media even though everyone has been complaining about the issue. Emails go unanswered, and when they do answer, their response is that they are having technical issues and will have the problem fixed by Monday ... and they have been saying that for about 6 weeks now with no end in sight. Does anyone know if they are going out of business or are they just completely dropping the ball?

I've had problems and emailed them to ask what the devil is going on - they replied saying that they would compensate me for the time the service is down for. That was last week. I logged in this morning and my rankings were tracked successfully, so I emailed them to ask what compensation I will be getting... So far I haven't had a response, but they gave me a discount last year when a similar thing happened so I have every expectation of them fulfilling their promises.

I use their service daily and it's been fine for me. You may need to try calling them:
- United States: +1-855-814-4510
- Worldwide: +1-408-844-4633
- Skype: SEMRUSH.PHONE

I hope you get your questions answered just in case others are experiencing the same as yourself.

One this is for sure that they're not at all going outta business.
You may want to touch with them via FB: https://www.facebook.com/SEMrush or
twitter https://twitter.com/semrush
They've been quite active on the both the platform. May be they're not paying attention to general user comments, which is very concerning, but instead of waiting for them to respond to users comments and blogs, you should rather try to contact them via email, or social media. I hope you'll get heard.

When a company lets you go, what is the standard practice for a moz account? Do you simply turn it over and lose all access and moz identity? Or?
Since MOZ is a community, it seems odd to simply turn over my moz account now the company has let me go. Do people typically do this and simply start a new account every time they work someplace new? Or what? I wanted to seek out what the community thought about this -- so that I would have a better idea of how to handle this now and for the next time.

Are large property portals going to continue to dominate Google's search results?
We are having a discussion (potential argument) in our office around whether large portals (namely property portals) have longevity in Google's search. Argument 1:
Industry News | | NeilPursey
Google's rise in local search and rewarding strong brand names rather than keyword driven domain names will devalue property portals with keyword rich domain names. Property portals are essentially duplicating content on smaller individually owned property websites, therefore in time Google will devalue property portals. **Argument 2: **
Property portals have more property stock listed on their websites so therefore Google will reward them by ranking these websites higher than the smaller real estate agencies with niche stock in their areas that they operate in. The property portals that already are already in a dominate position already carry authority and their own sense of branding, therefore it's difficult for Google to ignore them. If we assume that Google is looking into user behaviour as a ranking factor, then this will help portals as they have more stock which means higher engagement on the website. I'd love to read the moz community thoughts and opinions on this. I reckon it's a worthy debate..0 -
Paid links from directory listing and business listing sites are good or bad according to Penguin 2.1 update?
Hi Friends, Recently on October 4<sup>th</sup>, 2013, a new spam filtering algorithm got live named Penguin 21. / Penguin 5. The update goes after sites that may have purchased paid links. I would like to know is it safe, if we submit website details with links in paid directories, eg: https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/submit/intro/ (yahoo directory) and quality business listing sites provided the categories are related to our website. Our competitor sites having the backlinks from those kind of directories and they are performing (ranking) well in major search engines. May I know how Google treat these kinds of links according to this recent algorithm update?

Six Reconsiderations and Zero options left - Where do I go from here?
I have a client that I'm trying to get reindexed after they did extensive link farming in the past through other companies. We've poured countless hours in and I've submitted 6 Disavows/Reconsiderations and watched every video from Google on the topic. The client has also invested a significant amount of money into our work.

We've used the following to try and find links: -Google Webmaster Tools (Shows a limit of 1,000 domains) -Bing Webmaster Tools -Link Detox (paid) -Google Analytics (Lifetime Referral Report) -Open Site Explorer All we've gotten is automated responses with 2 sample links. In the latest one, they only supplied 1 sample link, which was odd because it said 'sample URLs'. Either way, we feel that we're out of options. Is it time to throw in the towel and inform the client, or are there other resources we can exhaust? Where do we go from here? Thanks!0 -
Small Business SEO Recommendations
I work for a company that manages websites for several hundred small businesses. We do a good job with on-site optimization but don't do any link building for our clients. Occasionally, clients are in desperate need of links and ask us for recommendations. I've had a tough time finding a balance between quality consultants and affordable prices. I understand that link building campaigns, in general, carry a hefty price tag, but of our clients can't afford any of the big name agencies. We've also had a few of our clients get burned recently by bad link building and I don't want to point them in the wrong direction. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies or freelance consultants that do good work without breaking the bank? Thanks! Tim

Industry News | | chanel27
and same IP, Will Google give less ranking to these 2 plumbing sites because Google might think that they are the same company and they are duplicate website even when their content is totally different. Does Google rank different hosting IP address better for the same business?0 -
Does it make sense to go after broad search with less competition vs. narrow search with very high competition?
We are in the process of analyzing our current site structure, on-page optimization and keywords to form a new strategy around our site. What we are finding with the keyword research we’ve done thus far is keywords that are shorter-tail have less competition, but far more searches than some of the long-tail keywords. For purposes of illustration I will give an example. Let's say we sell Wedding Cakes and the keyword string “Garden Wedding” has approximately 246,000 monthly local searches and medium competition, but “Garden Wedding Cakes” only has 880 searches and very high competition. We believe that if we create a very effective landing page for "Garden Wedding" with all kinds of great content surrounding "Garden Wedding" that we have a much better chance of ranking on page 1 than if we were to go after the term "Garden Wedding Cakes". Furthermore, the volume of search far exceeds the "Garden Wedding Cakes" and hopefully will reach a much larger audience. However, because "Garden Wedding" is such a broad term, we are concerned that we don't necessarily understand what folks are searching for vs, when someone types in "Garden Wedding Cakes" we know they are looking for a cake. Here are the questions we have: Targeting broader terms with higher search, has anyone implemented this type of strategy? We think in the long run, this will help us with exposure, but also with help our targeted page of "Garden Wedding Cakes" rank higher (if we can earn a great PR for the page "Garden Wedding". Would we run the risk of creating a higher bounce rate with this strategy for people who are looking specifically for Garden Wedding items/supplies, etc.. Is this a major concern? Could we monetize the effort put into new, rich content surrounding Garden Weddings, when we are in the business to sell Wedding Cakes? Any insight that one can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Who is going to Searchlove London? Will you stop and say hi?
A massive part of the conference is meeting people. I went last year and would like to make sure I meet as much of the moz community as I can this year. If you are going to be there please let me know and we can all make a point to say hi I'm debating whether to go back to the mohawk hairstyle for the conference, for ease of recognition 😉 Cheers and hope to see you there Stephen
