When it comes to ranking a website for targeted keywords, I don’t judge others how they achieve that goal. After all, it’s not about breaking the law. Rather, it has to do with trying to fool Google. Is it worth the risk of getting your website blacklisted or penalized? That’s the main question that needs to be asked.
The majority of WordPress website administrators shouldn’t be freaking out. Basically, your security has to be pretty lax in order for the sequence of events to take place for a complete system takeover. Any good admin knows to install a firewall application for WordPress. There are several plugins available that are fairly easy to set up. I suggest All in One WP Security & Firewall if you’re looking for a robust solution.
This came out of nowhere. Any time I see a press release regarding an acquisition or merger, I think big changes are on the horizon. However, according to the acquisition FAQ, business activities will remain relatively unchanged.
Bland titles such as “WordPress Setup and Configuration” aren’t really going to resonate with a mass audience. If you re-phrase that to say “How to Install WordPress in 5 Easy Steps”, you’re telling potential visitors what to expect. The 5 easy steps define the boundaries and scope of the article so that the reader has an idea of the process before even reading the first sentence.

Does it make sense for you to create local-specific pages on your website?

Video TranscriptionHello, Moz fans. Welcome to another Whiteboard Friday. I'm Tom Capper. I'm a consultant at Distilled, and today I'm going to be talking to you about whether you need local pages. Just to be clear right off the bat what I'm talking about, I'm not talking about local rankings as we normally think of them, the local map pack results that you see in search results, the Google Maps rankings, that kind of thing.
A 4-step process to deciding whether..
We live in a sensitive time where politics have created a rift between family and friends. People are entrenched in their beliefs and any type of rational argument typically results in anger. If you’re not cautious and let those feelings spill out in a public forum, it could have severe consequences. Careers can be shattered with just one tweet.
While I’m not familiar with cPanel’s own mobile app, the popular WHMapp is fantastic. You won’t have the full suite of options in WHMapp as you would logging into your browser, however, simple changes and monitoring can be performed for administrators who like to frequently keep tabs on their server. Honestly, it isn’t something I use too often. I usually, have my laptop with me in case of an emergency website issue happens to a client of mine. Although, the app has been a life-saver on a couple of occasions.
To their credit, Moz does go very in-depth with the 3 tests that concluded their keyword research tool is the best. The goal of these tests is to determine each tool’s effectiveness at gauging their own organic keyword difficulty rating with actual keyword rankings. 50 blog posts with 50 targeted keywords were used for sample data.
It happens several times a year. Google tweaks their algorithm and SEOs freak out (or celebrate) the impact it has on their client’s website rankings. The broadcore update which began August 1st, has been described as a tweak to Google’s main ranking factors. For the most part, websites with good content should largely be unaffected. However, there has been some interesting data reported that shows increases and decreases for certain niches in organic traffic and keyword rankings.
The crew at Yoast really don’t want you to use stop words in your URLs. Stop words, like “the”, offer no benefit and are unnecessary. If you look at some of the posts on this blog, they differ in length and do contain various stop words. While I agree, that they aren’t going to help increase your rankings for a particular keyword, I don’t believe that they can have a negative impact all that much.
