If we have one page in English, and another that is translated into Spanish, does google consider that duplicate content? I don't know if having something in a different language makes it different or if it will get flagged.

Thanks,

It is WordPress. Two follow-up questions please:

1. Could this be from updating WP to newer versions?

2. Are call games or modules similar to plugins? i've only ever added plugins. I don't know what "call games or modules" are.

Thanks,

Ruben

Thanks, Tom!

Whenever I open my site from an uncached source, like google incognito, for a split second it displays purple links and a white background while it loads the rest of the content. I've included a screenshot. Is there any way to fix that.? The site is www.kemprugegreen.com.

We bought an exact match domain (in Spanish) to incorporate with regular website for a particular keyword. This is our first attempt at this, and while we do have Spanish speaking staff that will translate/create a nice, quality page, we're not going to redo everything in Spanish page.

Any advice on how to implement this? Do I need to create a whole other website in Spanish? Will that be duplicate content if I do? Can I just set it up to show the first page in Spanish, but if they click on anything else it redirects to our site?

I'm pretty clueless on this, so if anything I've suggested is off-the-wall or a violation, I'm really just spit-balling, trying to figure out how to implement this.

Thanks,

For example, I'd like to type in a zipcode and get the highest ranking websites by DA/whatever metric the software uses, within a 25 mile radius?

Does that type of service exist?

I'm looking to build up our local links, but most of the websites have extremely low authority. I'm trying to find some good ones without having to manually check each one.

Thanks,

Ruben

Awesome, Croy. That was extremely helpful.

I created a custom map using google maps creator and I embedded it on our site. However, when I ran the fetch and render through Search Console, it said it was blocked by our robots.txt file. I read in the Search Console Help section that: 'For resources blocked by robots.txt files that you don't own, reach out to the resource site owners and ask them to unblock those resources to Googlebot."

I did not setup our robtos.txt file. However, I can't imagine it would be setup to block google from crawling a map. i will look into that, but before I go messing with it (since I'm not familiar with it) does google automatically block their maps from their own googlebot? Has anyone encountered this before?

Here is what the robot.txt file says in Search Console:

User-agent: *
Allow: /maps/api/js?
Allow: /maps/api/js/DirectionsService.Route
Allow: /maps/api/js/DistanceMatrixService.GetDistanceMatrix
Allow: /maps/api/js/ElevationService.GetElevationForLine
Allow: /maps/api/js/GeocodeService.Search
Allow: /maps/api/js/KmlOverlayService.GetFeature
Allow: /maps/api/js/KmlOverlayService.GetOverlays
Allow: /maps/api/js/LayersService.GetFeature
Disallow: /

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I read all the time about how directories have very little weight in SEO anymore, but in my field, a lot of our competitors are propped up by paying for "profiles" aka links from places like martindale-hubbard, superlawyers, findlaw, nolo, Avvo, etc (which are essentially directories IMO) yet all those sites have very high DAs of 80 and above.

So, are links from these sites worth it? I know that's a vague questions, but if Moz's algo seems to rank them so highly, I'm guessing that's reasonably close to what google thinks as well...maybe?

Thanks for any insight,
