I Mistakenly uploaded Disavow File to Non WWW version of Webiste in Webmaster Tools...is this a Problem???
-
Hey guys and gals,
I need some advice on this please. I recently had someone perform a negative S.E.O campaign on my site and I was inundated with 13,000 + spammy links pointing to my website and I had to perform a Disavow in Google Webmaster Tools but for some reason, it is showing that I uploaded the Disavow text file to the Non WWW version of the website but the WWW version of my website is the preferred domain and I have all NON WWW queries being 301 redirected to www.pcmedicsoncall.com
My question is should I correct this and upload the Disavow text to the preferred domain in Google Webmaster Tools???
Please advise on how I should proceed with this situation....
Thank you.

TAGFEE stands for our core values of Transparent, Authentic, Generous, Fun, Empathetic, and Exceptional. I perhaps should have instead linked to our Community Etiquette page at http://moz.com/community/blog-disclaimer.
In short, let's keep this Q&A discussion related to the question -- what to do when the disavow file is uploaded to the non-www version of a domain instead of the www version in GWT.

If you don't mind me asking what is TAGFEE? Google are a bunch of tyrants that indiscriminately kill off legitimate small business and are accountable to no one for anything that they do and you are asking me to be politically correct when making reference towards Google? Why?
I would say that this is the majority of the problem with what is going on. Everyone agrees just to agree because it's google and I see a lot of highly intelligent people having technical conversations about these super imposed games of hop scotch backwards that google inflicts upon all of us and yet no one says or does anything. I believe that would make those who participate part of the problem not part of the solution wouldn't you agree?
If anything, people need to start voicing their true opinions and feelings about what is going on and all of us should come together and put an end to this crap once and for all!!! GOOGLE IS A DICTATOR that is trying to disassemble the internet and make a 2 classification system of masters and slaves. Which side of the fence do you think you will be banished to when this comes to pass?
Sorry but I have my view points based on analyzing data for the past 6 years now and I apologize if you do not agree with my view points on what is what.
Thank you for reading.

Thank you so much for your response Mark I truly appreciate your insight through your experience with having done this numerous times.
I had done some searching earlier and saw that people were saying it was not wise to delete a disavow file so...I just figured that I would go with the logical approach and just submit one for the www version of my site.
Thanks again for sharing your experience Mark and believe me, it's comforting to know that what I did by submitting the disavow file to the www version is not going to hinder or hurt me.
Why is GOOGLE such a bunch of Nazi Douche Bags anymore?....Oh yeah...MONEY... I guess 64 Billion a year is not satisfactory enough....I really despise GOOGLE with a passion these days and wish someone would get rid of this company!!!!

I upload disavows to both versions - so I would simply say add it to the www one as well.
(I've submitted a LOT of disavows - this has never been a problem.)

Are online tools considered thin content?
My website has a number of simple converters. For example, this one converts spaces to commas
White Hat / Black Hat SEO | | ConvertTown
https://convert.town/replace-spaces-with-commas Now, obviously there are loads of different variations I could create of this:
Replace spaces with semicolons
Replace semicolons with tabs
Replace fullstops with commas Similarly with files:
JSON to XML
XML to PDF
JPG to PNG
JPG to TIF
JPG to PDF
(and thousands more) If somoene types one of those into Google, they will be happy because they can immediately use the tool they were hunting for. It is obvious what these pages do so I do not want to clutter the page up with unnecessary content. However, would these be considered doorway pages or thin content or would it be acceptable (from an SEO perspective) to generate 1000s of pages based on all the permutations?1 -
Screaming Frog tool left me stumped
Hi there again, I found a major cloaking hack in our client's website that is really well camouflaged and all the seo tools that I tried to help me check for cloaking couldn't find it. I know that screaming frog is a great tool and I want to use it to help me, however, I can't seem to get my way around their system that I downloaded. Can you help me with the screaming frog program? Do you know where I can make a full site check for cloaking, maybe there are more links that I wasn't notified about? I would really appreciate if you could help me with that. Thanks so much, Ruchy

20-30% of our ecommerce categories contain no extra content, could this be a problem
Hello, About 20-30% of our ecommerce categories have no content beyond the products that are in them. Could this be a problem with Panda? Thanks!

To disavow or not to disavow
Back story: During panda and penguin we noticed declining ranks on google. So we hit the Q&A and followed the given suggestions; removing links, optimizing a few tags, etc. We took the time and money to remove quite a few links (200+) using Remove'em. We then submitted our results to the Google web spam team (Google reconsideration request) to find out we have no manual penalty. This bring me to the thought our back links profile might still be hurting us. We had a pretty good results while removing our back links from other webmasters being very helpful and removing our links, most of which were created by old seo company's when "links were king". This brings me to my real question, would it be worth the time disavowing links we think are bad using the disavow tool? Obviously only the ones where webmasters didnt not respond or refused to remove out link?

Beating the file sharing sites in SERPs - Can it be done and how?
Hi all, A new client of mine is an online music retailer (CD, vinyls, DVD etc) who is struggling against file sharing sites that are taking precedence over the client's results for searches like "tropic of cancer end of things cd" If a site a legal retailer trying to make an honest living who's then having to go up against the death knell of the music industry - torrents etc. If you think about it, with all the penalties Google is fond of dealing out, we shouldn't even be getting a whiff of file sharing sites in SERPs, right? How is it that file sharing sites are still dominating? Is it simply because of the enormous amounts of traffic they receive? Does traffic determine ranking? How can you go up against torrents and download sites in this case. You can work on the onsite stuff, get bloggers to mention the client's pages for particular album reviews, artist profiles etc, but what else could you suggest I do? Thanks,
