Has anyone found a company pretending to be you on ebay
-
I have a question. I was going through my links and i have found a number of links from ebay on pages of products that it seems they are trying to state they belong to our company.
I would like to know if anyone has come across this and what can be done about it.
-
do you know how they do this. I have only just found the link and it seems that they have linked to one of my sites by claiming they are me. i have the details so will contact ebay and see what they can do
-
Hello,
Yes this has happened to me. You need to contact eBay's intellectual rights section and let them know, so they can make sure that the backlinks are removed and they stop claiming to be you.
I hope this helps you like it did me.
Have a great day and a happy holidays.

How to safely syndicate blog posts in LinkedIn Company page
We currently post our new blog post on our company profile (in Linkedin) immediately after publishing on our company blog. Is this running the risk of duplicate content? My colleague pastes the new posts URL into (I've given an example using my own site - ironically about Panda)! Does this run the risk of creating duplicate content? I've tried searching for indexed pages in Google for past posts and only find the originals (no URLs for the LinkedIn domain). I've got a bit confused about the whole subject having read Neil Patel's excellent article on "...syndicating content without screwing up you seo"! Thank you 🙂 10FpxLP 10FpxLP

Has anyone had issues with Bazaarvoice and schema.org?
About a year ago we started using Bazaarvoice to get reviews for our products, and it has been great as far as accumulating content, but Google is not taking the schema.org data and displaying it on the SERP. Someone has told me it is because we are offering multiple products, or that our schema.org tags are incorrect but when I compare our code to other travel sites it seems like everyone is doing something different. This is especially annoying since the Google schema markup check says everything is fine. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences? Thanks.

Company blog. What are the best solutions?
Hello Moz Community! Our company has its own blog (www.awarablogs.com) - the blog was created some time ago by means of a simple blog-engine. Now we see that the structure of the blog is bad for SEO (it has long URLs, many useless folders, subdomains and so on), so we'd like to simplify it. But the engine doesn't allow to change its structure in the way we 'd like to. Our webmaster suggested that we use "Alias". Will this method really help us make our blog SEO-friendly? Or is it better to choose another blog software like Wordpress? Thank you very much!

Ranked well initially, then experienced a significant decrease does anyone know why?
Hi Everyone, So I recently launched a new site a few months ago, and initially I ranked great for a number of terms I am targeting then rankings decreased significantly. In some cases, the pages targeting specific terms have disappeared from serps. Now I have heard about this "Honeymoon Phase" where google will give you a initial boost in rankings to test you out, and I have heard that they rank you higher initially based on a newness factor but can anyone offer insight into this? How long does it typically take to get back into the rankings? My site is build much better than the majority of my competitors and from what I can tell their link profiles are significantly superior to mine, but please help. Ie: http:luxuryhomehunt.com/homes-for-sale/longwood/alaqua-lakes.html key term: Alaqua Lakes homes for sale, Alaqua Lakes Real Estate Thanks in advance for your help!
