    EMD ecom store

    I've run into this same thing, you can add more content to the category page. Through a combination of content freshness and relevance it could help swap which page has priority. Check your page titles too, the product page could potentially be a better match. Or lean into it and enhance that...

    Newbie Question(s) so dumb, you're afraid to even ask!

    I had just remembered right after posting we've got dark mode on here haha The -9999px text indent! It is wild to see how far things have progressed. Before web fonts were a thing, I would also use that if I wanted an H1 to be a some fancy image background font instead of text but wanted the...

    Newbie Question(s) so dumb, you're afraid to even ask!

    Invisible content in this context is referring to poor performance and low visibility, it's not some secret type of content. Invisible content is real, very real! It's how all the top SEOs rank! but for real, anyone remember the days of keyword stuffed local sites with white text on white...

    Moving Folder to Folder

    If you're asking about implementing redirects but not changing the link structure on the site, sure you could. Is it good enough? Guess that depends on what's good enough for you. Forcing sitewide redirects on your users may slow things down for them depending on your server speed and their...

    Moving Folder to Folder

    This would do it: Breaking down what @CCarter suggested, this rewrite rule uses Regular Expression. the ^ means the start of a string so in this case the start of the URL path needs begin with blog/. In the expression (.*) the parenthesis means a group, a period means any single character, an...

    At least they didn't make a 13 seconds reference.

    What kind of parasite trick is this?

    Brute force login attempts, vulnerable plugins, outdated wordpress instances. The site I fixed had an outdated wordpress instance because it was running on an older version of php, along some abandoned plugins. The script they installed was able to go above the public folder and into other site...

    What kind of parasite trick is this?

    It's a hacked wordpress site. I have seen and fixed this type of hack before. Click any of those links from the Google search results it will redirect, copy any of them directly and they will 404. It's to avoid detection from the site owner. There's a script that will redirect the page when the...

    Intermittent Noindex Tags

    Temporarily turn off that security challenge, flip it to development mode so that it isn't cached, then crawl it again with Screaming Frog. That should help you rule out the security challenge page as the issue. So there aren't any noindex tags present along when viewing as a regular user agent...

    Advanced SEO Techniques [ Constantly Updated ]

    This makes a ton of sense from a natural link building perspective. Any time I see a good high authority link from a site that actually gets traffic, a bunch of bullshit spam links are soon to follow. So that penguinEarlyAnchorProtected is likely a way to not penalize a site for that. Not even...

    Linkjuice from pages with a noindex tag?

    I would treat that as a link that still passes value but not with the same value as one that is indexed and gets traffic. I wouldn't be seeking that kind of link out but also wouldn't disavow it.

    A.I. And Robots.txt

    Maybe this is where the robots.txt protocol would come into play. Instead of using the meta tag that would block all AI platforms, Allow user agents that link to you, Disallow those who don't.

    Is Elementor bad or can it be good?

    Others have mentioned it too but look at Oxygen, you can get great page speed results and a lifetime license.

    Farming Karma on reddit?

    I see, that's tough because unless the conversation is still active (because it ranks) it will come across as odd to post a random comment on a dead thread. Maybe to fly under the radar ensure that people have still recently commented on it.

    Farming Karma on reddit?

    I would think that this is exactly how they're catching you. Are your competitors hitting old posts too? Might make more sense to have the brand mention on a fresher post with more eyes on it

    Farming Karma on reddit?

    Mods might be seeing unusual upvote patterns, they know what resonates and if something that doesn't quite fit into the community mindset has a high volume of upvotes it might seem suspicious. How many upvotes are you buying per comment? You might be raising suspicion by doing too many, you...

    Nice example! Now that's a great way to ensure you get that first comment in quick. Could probably go back and upvote it with the other account

    Farming Karma on reddit?

    Yes and you can also sort by "Top" and "All Time" within reddit, doesn't give you as good of a snapshot as when it was popular just be mindful of the post date. Something else to consider is the subreddits post "flair". Any post tagged meme, joke, humor, etc... it's generally acceptable to...
