    Complicated redirect help - can you 301 a 302?

    Better to get to the root of the problem than to stick a plaster on it. Are they looking at the right .htaccess file? Might be one in the subdirectory. The redirect might have been implemented via a server config file.

    take quiz related to seo on moz

    Have to disagree here. I wouldn't hire an SEO or expect to be hired by a client if I didn't have the necessary coding skills to implement the required fixes etc. myself. How would you be able to test if the fixes were implemented correctly without the necessary coding knowledge?

    take quiz related to seo on moz

    To be considered an 'SEO Expert' I would have thought you needed quite a bit of coding knowledge tbh (in terms of being able to carry out technical SEO at least).

    very basic SEO (backlinks) question

    A backlink is just an inbound link (A link on another site, pointing to your site for example), as opposed to an outbound link (a link on your website, pointing to another website). rel="nofollow" can be appended to either type. All other things being equal, a nofollow link that gets clicked...

    very basic SEO (backlinks) question

    Yes, but be aware they include the rel="nofollow" attribute (which is a good thing imo). No link value will be passed directly from Pinterest to your site. Pinterest is pretty good for referral traffic, if you know how to use it.

    Brand New Website

    It's hard to say what the issue is without having a look at your site. Do you have a lot more content on your subpages when compared to the homepage?

    GOOGLE PR NUMBERS

    Apologies, I'll explain a bit more :) Google PageRank is an algorithm which measures the importance of a site and its webpages by taking into account the links that are going to that site and its pages. Most links which do not feature the rel=nofollow attribute and are crawlable by googlebot...

    GOOGLE PR NUMBERS

    Seems to be a fair few unnatural links pointing to that domain. Did you just recently purchase the domain? Might have been due to a negative seo campagin etc. Might want to start disavowing those links to prevent the chances of a manual penalty. Majestic show 4,670 ext backlinks pointing to...

    Infographic submission?

    Infographics submission is far from a latest 'trend' in SEO (or rather ... link building). Read up on what happened to myblogguest and the publishers of infographics there. You'd be better off posting the infographic on your own site and then outreaching to bloggers who might find the...

    Recommended blogs and vlogs?

    inbound.org is good for keeping up with the latest industry news. It's always good to read through Google's guidelines if you haven't already. I'd really only pay for moz if you had need to use the tools (such as the open site explorer).

    Wait until the new site is ready to go live.Don't redirect to the Spanish site. You'll want to 301 redirect each individual page on the en subdomain to a suitable page on the new en domain (Don't just redirect the homepage of the old site and don't just redirect all the pages to the homepage of...
