While I agree with what Nicholas said, I've seen more and more instances of "near me" in titles when I search for something near me.
Check out the SERP for your queries in your area and see if others use it.

RE: Does changing template for a wordpress site affect SEO
If you mean themes, then I would say yes.
I changed a theme on my blog recently and it resulted in major organic impressions growth. I'm pretty sure it's the theme because I didn't change anything else.

RE: Bing & Yahoo Traffic
You can find out if your customers are using Bing and Yahoo less by looking at the search volumes. See if bing search volumes for your keywords dropped.

RE: Internal linking
All other things being equal if you link from Barolo to Piedmont it will give a very little boost to Piedmont article. But that's almost never the case, one external backlink can make all the difference here.
In general, it does make sense to keep your internal links distribution in check. Usually, you want to link more to upper-level pages (categories), if you have breadcrumbs on your website, that should take care of it.
You can calculate Internal PageRank for all your pages and see if there are pages or categories which have too little or too many internal links compared to the rest of the pages on your website or pages in the same category.

RE: Best proxy service to browse the Google from different countries to check the ranking
With I Search From you can simulate using Google Search from a different location or device, or perform a search with custom search settings. It's useful for searching Google as if you were somewhere else, as well as for SEO & SEA testing.

RE: No existing network with bloggers
Brace yourself for another clunky guide from mr.
I prefer to start with outreach and write content after we've reached an agreement.
Here's what I do:
- Get a list of relevant keywords
- Repeat the "creating links to search queries in Notepad ++" from my previous answer to one of your questions
- Only this time instead of simply creating queries like google.com.ua/search?q=best+cars you need to add an inurl:blog operator, so your links will look like **google.com.ua/search?q=best+cars+inurl%3Ablog **this link will provide you with list of blogs that have content about "best cars"
- Generate such links for all of your keywords (again, see previous question and answer)
- Crawl the SERPs with Netpeak Spider or Screaming Frog to fetch domain addresses
- Once you have your domains you need to get thei emails, you can use tools like hunter.io or any other email harvester or search for those manually
- you can also crawl these websites with spider or frog and search for the following regular expression: **[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9.+-]+@[\w-.]+.\w+ ** this search will find any text on a website that looks like **[email protected] **
- Netpeak checker (not spider) has a preset setting to fetch email addresses: https://i.imgur.com/BzhzjHD.png but it crawl only URLs you upload, not entire website, so you'll have to get the list of at least 100 pages for every website on your list and then fetch email from those URLs. You can set spider or frog to get you list of top-100 ursl for websites you found.
- You need to create personalized and automated emails that you will send to these websites. I recommend using **Reply.io **this is my favorite email marketing tool, period. It allows you to send out a chain of personalized emails (Hi [name] I was reading [website] blog. And thought you might want to check out [Thing]) to all of your prospects, and gives you all sorts of valuable analytics data so you can improve your campaigns. I usually create chains of 3 emails and prospecst receive one of these every 2-3 days. So if they ignored my 1st email they'll receive second one in 3 days, if they ignore that one they'll get another email in 2 days and if they ignore the last email that's it. But oper-rates and reply reats on campaigns I've ran were outstanding. With 3-letter chains on 200 prospects per campaign we're getting 70% open rate and up to 30% reply rate.
- Once you get in touch with bloggers it's up to you to close the deal.
Don't hesitate to contact support of netpeak software, frog, hunter io, reply io and others for help. it always works.

RE: Volatile SERPS?
are you tracking one keyword?
if it's a competitive niche, then SERP fluctuations behind the first page are not uncommon.
tbh it looks more like the website is losing positions rather than jumping around. -
RE: Domain authority a better metric then referring domain count?
DA is better.
1. The number of referring domains is one of the metrics used to calculate Domain Authority.
2. My website can have 3 times more referring domains, but will that make my website better if those domains are trash with 0 trust? -
RE: User Intent - Office Chairs & Content Writing
Not sure how to do it with Frog, but I'm pretty sure you can. You can always start a chat with guys from Netpeak Spider's support, they'll show you how to setup everything, just send them a link to this thread

RE: User Intent - Office Chairs & Content Writing
Here's what I would do if I needed keywords about chairs with commercial intent.
Step 1: Get as many keywords related to this topic as possible.
Step 2: Paste your list of keywords into notepad++
Step 3: Use replace feature (Ctrl+H) to start each line* with "google.com/search?q=" https://i.imgur.com/sJ1g854.png
this will turn your list of keywords into the list of search queries. https://i.imgur.com/sJ1g854.png
This symbol ^ stands for the beginning of the line in Notepad++, so set N++ to replace ^ with that google thing.
Replace all spaces with a + sign for keywords that have more than 1 word to get google.com/search?q=best+chairsStep 4: Use crawler tool (Netpeak Spider has 2 weeks free trial) set it up to crawl your list of "google" URLs from Notepad ++ and fetch
's This is where page titles are nested in SERPs, there will 10 h3's for every keyword you used.
Example: https://i.imgur.com/x5UMGSU.png
Step 5: Paste Page titles with google URLs into spreadsheet and use conditional formatting to highlight titles where words like buy, for sale, price, delivery and etc. are used. Use words that indicate commercial intent.
Step 6: count number of commercial titles per SERP for every keyword to see if SERP is commercial or informational.
Step 7: separate commercial queries from informational
Step 8: analyze informational keywords only and build your content strategy around those keywords, they will be easier to rank for with articles and etc.

RE: Is a One Page Website template bad for SEO?
Template doesn't matter. If you like the layout you can use the same one-page template over and over and make a 1000+ pages website with that template. You can even use 5 different one-page templates to make 5 pages. As long as your content varies, you're good.

RE: Is title tag length actually important?
As long as it looks good in SERP and hosts your target keyword you're good.
Yes, google will cut the title at 512px or around 50-60 characters, but if the main information fits within the limit you're good. Plus google still reads and accounts for the rest of your title. Sometimes, shortened title ca even improve CTR, it can work like a click bait title. Think of something like: Best practices for titles are keeping them under 60 chars, adding your keyword and...
But, of course, there's a common practice and it is there for a reason, in the most cases title that fits completely in SERP works best.

RE: What do the symbols in the profile avatars in Google listing reviews mean?
Just badges they received for reviews they left. Every review, upvote and etc give reviewer points (like moz points here).

RE: My site ranking has dropped in recent 2 weeks ?
This can be a penalty. Yur backlink profile is far from the cleanest I've seen.
48000 backlinks and a trust score of 6, not the best sign.For instance,
You have 2000 backlinks from a directory which also links to gambling websites,
700 backlinks from a website which triggers privacy error in chrome
500 backlinks from a Spanish website
300 backlinks from a French website
200 backlinks from a Japanese website — all these websites have nothing to do with carsYou have a lot of links with optimized anchors.
I would start digging in this direction to make sure that you haven't been penalized

RE: Can anyone offer an example of a site or page that gets 100% or even close to that on Search Visibility?
100% Is virtually impossible, afaik, MOZ accounts for all of the domain's keywords and their CTR.
To have 100% visibility, you'd have to rank on the 1st-3rd position for each keyword that you rank for, which is impossible. Even if you optimize your website just for 1 keyword and manage to get it to the 1st position, you'll still grab some keyword on the way and you'll have your own 'long tail', keywords, for which you rank beyond 20th position.
Here's how keyword position distribution looks like for most websites:
http://i.imgur.com/gozM9KE.png
Note that most of the keywords are in the tail.And here's how the visibility changes if you account for all of the keywords:

RE: Help to identify that this SEO agency is doing a TERRIBLE job
Yes, these don't look great, to say the least. [**Comment removed by moderator.] **Anchors are spammy and all of the "optimized" anchors are coming from websites with low domain quality scores.
This is not good:
[Link removed by moderator]I outlined two examples (there are more), see that 8 domains link to your website 55 times with an identical keyword anchor. That is as spammy as it gets and may results in being filtered.

RE: Bullet Points
It's called an unordered list and it's recommended in cases where you want to get a rich snippet for your page.
Here's a recipe I use to get the rich snippet.
have an H2 with a query that triggers the snippet
How to get the rich snippet
add a 180+ character description after the H2 to get the rich snippet for your page and follow it with any of these:
- ordered list
- unordered list
- table

RE: I have a site with jokes. What schema markup could I use?
I would create lists. So list item markup.
Something like "25 Best Jokes About Horses", "17 Funniest Puns","Best knock-knock jokes"
Btw, Buzzfeed ranks on #0 for the last one: http://i.imgur.com/bws4qDe.png And they used a simple list item for markup.
I do marketing stuff, namely marketing stuff for products. Does this count as Bio now? Just let me know if you need more words here. I can do more.
Looks like your connection to Moz was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
