Annoying! Theres something going on behind the scenes here that I haven't figured out yet. Bah!

I think it may be mozilla caching a redirect, because I'm seeing...
@backwoods Would you mind sharing how you found those "hidden" affiliate links? It's been bugging me that I cant seem to see them...
Thanks as always...
Strange, I'm not seeing redirects at all when I load it up on my desktop. Where are you seeing this code?
Screaming frog is seeing it as a standard HTML link as well. I must be missing some important aspect of these pages/links. Please enlighten me if possible!
I'm a dummy, saw it on this page and figured it was across the board: bestproducts.com/fashion/accessories/g232/cirlce-infinity-scarves-winter/...

Forgive my technical newbie-ishness, but I'm curious about how a site like bestproducts.com runs their affiliate links (assuming they are affiliate links)...

Their listings dont have affiliate attributes in the URLs, and...
Recently made this comment on another thread and figured it deserved its own thread.
What are your guys thoughts on the mobile first index?
From my understanding Google will use the mobile version of the site to dictate the desktop and mobile ranking of a site. I can see many cases where this...
+1 for knowledge graph and answer boxes. This is exactly what Google is using to solve the mobile problem of quick questions/etc.
If google doesn't have a knowledge graph answer box for it, Google/Siri will even read your brand name aloud to a person who asks a question and the answer box is...
I'm not a large operation, but I'm all excel. Would love if Excel + Dropbox didn't lead to "conflicted copies" when I leave a sheet open at the office. I know Google docs wouldn't do this, but google sheets is just garbage, imo.
No, but 8% (on popular categories) and the 7 day cookie is enticing. Home depot gives like 1%, bleh.
I have a home appliance amazon site that I could try this out on, I'll let you know how it goes.
200 isn't much to spread around to various tasks, but @Ryuzaki is right that it could actually go a long way when getting an subject matter expert to write for you. Considering writing is becoming more and more inexpensive, if you come with a sizable budget you could actually attract a really...
Spam messages into people inboxes could taint your brand. While I've not personally done it I'm sure there are tons of ways to market and re-target towards a specific segment of users on various platforms (facebook, twitter, even adwords).
Your thinking process is correct, you want those...
Thanks @Ryuzaki I will have to do some quick outreach. Would be interesting to see how effective this could be on a local level, perhaps I could cut back on the PBNs if it actually works.
Don't disavow. Just because a site looks shady, doesn't mean its algorithmically negative.
Ahrefs != Google, Google has the worlds most powerful crawler, its one of the ways they maintain competitive advantage. Ahrefs is a handy tool, but certainly not as comprehensive as G (or likely any...
Holistically theres no arguing this. Personally I'm bias towards SEO because I've yet to actually find a niche I care enough about to truly market towards. I'm working on it, but while SEO works, I might as well take advantage of it.
James Gregory said once to me "Less PBNs, More Money...
I've heard it say that just being registered, even with a parking page, is good enough for domain age. That being said, it seems like an easy leak for G to fix, so I'd do a bit of content and something simple/easy like directories submissions or a press release, then let it start baking.
Going super dumb old school on this one, but hear me out...
Reciprocal links were one of the first things I learned about when I was introduced to SEO. I was taught that these links were devalued by Google/yada yada.
I never really tried these since I just assumed they were devalued, but...
Hmm, weird.
Had this happen once on a very large directory site, where a library was hosting a full duplicate (so users didn't have to use the outside internet to access it, or something).
I've also heard of super negative SEO where scumbags would grab content and publish it elsewhere before...
I did the micro-site thing for a while, EMD amazon affiliate (still proud of it, and its still crushing actually), lots of EMD local services stuff. I still do small local services sites for rank-n-rent because I like to diversify, but focusing my efforts and money now on larger authority...
My personal experience has been mixed. I've redirected non-related domains after hosting some niche content on it for a month or more. I didn't see any boost but also didn't see any penalty and that particular site has been ranked for over a year now... My thinking was to get anchor text...
