        I manage my website, etcnews.tv , leakstime.com and we've been actively engaged in SEO for the past two years without resorting to any spammy practices. Despite our efforts, the spam score on my site has reached 28% according to Moz. I've subscribed to Moz Pro, but I'm still struggling to comprehend the process.

                  If the removal of the low quality links does'nt work from your side, you could also use disavow ( https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main ) > you have to be logged in into google for this feature.

                      Check your incoming links. They are pretty much the cause to building up a spam score or not. Low quality links with no real usage are the ones to look for. Buying you a subscription is'nt going to magically improve your website. It needs work. Moz provides the tools!

                        SEO for Parallax Website

                        Hi, Are there any implications of having a parallax website and the URL not changing as you scroll down the page? So basically the whole site is under the same URL? However, when you click on the menu the URL does change? Cheers

                        Using Product Page Content from an Offline Website

                        Hi all, We have two websites. One of the website's no longer sells product range A. However, on the second website, we would like to sell range A. We paid a copywriter to write some really good content for these ranges and we were wondering if we would get stung for duplicate content if we took these descriptions from website 1 and placed them on website 2. The products / descriptions are live anymore and haven't been for about 6 weeks. We're ranking for some great keywords at the moment and we don't want to spoil that. Thanks in advance! D

                        Building a new website post penalty and redirects

                        A website I'm working on is clearly algorithmically penalised. I've spent a lot of time mass disavowing spammy links, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. We have been planning to build a new website anyway since we are rebranding. 1. Is it possible to tell which pages are most likely to have a penalty applied? 2. If the website as a whole has a penalty, will redirecting certain pages to the new website carry the penalty? 3. Our website is structured as sales pages and blog content. It is the sales pages that have the spammy links, yet most of the blog content does not rank either. Would it be a good strategy to only redirect all the blog posts (which have natural links pointing to them) to the new website and not the sales pages? 4. The homepage has a mix of spam and very good editorial links. If I have disavowed links and domains, can I safely redirect this page?

                        One of my websites has dropped ranking dramatically.

                        Hi Everyone. I have a website which is: http://goo.gl/0CZjG This used to be on page 1 of google for the main keyword which is  "Wedding Favours". but I cannot see the reason why it has really dropped it is on around page 40 now. Can someone maybe point out where I can start to recover this ? Any help or advise is really appreciated.

                        Website not ranking for noncompetitive terms

                        Hi, We've took over a website last July and no matter what we do we just can't get it ranking in Google, even for noncompetitive terms. here is the website in question: http://www.alignandsmile.co.uk Ideally the client would like to rank for Canary Wharf but that location is competitive, the site doesn't even rank for 'Dentist New Providence Wharf E14' despite it being included in the title tag on the home page and in the content throughout the website. Directories with Align and Smile's business information do rank however. I opened a case with google through Webmaster tools and they  'reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google.' So I'm a bit stuck. The site ranks top for the keyphrase in Bing and Yahoo...we are really struggling with Google! Any help would be much appreciated. many thanks Marcus

                        What is the best way to broaden the reach of our website?

                        We were specifically targeting the Capital Region of New York and environs and now our goal is to broaden the net to reach potential clients. Should I to drop the location terms we already have baked in to the copy and add broader location terms? OR just add newer terms? We're developing a new design that sharpens our focus, but here is what we have now: http://www.behancommunications.com Thanks for any suggestions

                        Two company websites - should 1 be nofollow?

                        We are an automotive dealership that is required to keep a manufacturer appointed website. It's pretty terrible so we are having a new site developed in addition to that. We plan on transferring our current domain name to the new site but I am not sure what to do with the older, less useful site. Should I try to have both sites appear in the search results to capture more traffic? Or is that inefficient? Should I make the new site no follow?
