Thanks, but what I actually meant to imply was that the root domain and its underlying pages get indexed quite quickly whereas the sub-domains are taking some time to get indexed even though they were created on the same day as the root domain.
Just curious if anyone had experienced a delay in indexing sub-domains on a new root domain.

I read a while ago that you should set up subdomains separately in Web Host Manager just like domains to get better ranking (and probably indexing). An SEO expert could maybe add a bit of info to this.

Since Mega Link Blaster is currently not excepting new subscribers, does anyone have another source for building backlinks to our posts? Most tools only provide for a handful of domains at a time so I'm clearly looking for a tool that can build links to hundreds of posts.

I realize Jeremy said that in most cases there is no need to build backlinks and that the posts should rank on their own, but i have a client who is in one of the toughest niches in the toughest local areas and we need to add some juice to our posts.

I read through as much of this thread as i could to look for the answer, but ugh, there are so many so I'm just askin. If this answer has already been given, feel free to direct me to that post in the thread. Thanks.

Can we use Spinner syntax in title and description? I use AIOSEO along with LPN?

Thanks
Shaon

Cyberdetective

Hi Shaon

Why do you want to use Spinner Syntax? As already stated on several occasions these are Local Listings with different state/city headers there is no duplicate content issue, just forget about it.

If you feel you need to build backlinks go to fiverr and get a .edu .gov package from someone with good feedback, 99% of local sites have none, you will beat them all. When you get the completed list go to Ping Farm and rapid index them. Use the onlywire plugin for syndication to Web 2, this will keep you high on the first page.

I just realised that LPN creates additional sites with domain.com/page/2 only when I write posts.

I have the permanlink on /%postname% but it still does this page sites with the number but only when I create posts.

Any tip?

Did I miss something?

Thanks as allways
Maria

Probably a duplicate post using the same title so a 2 was added to the URL.

Michael Rytter

Maria, did you forget the closing / after the percent sign, or is that just a typo in this post?

Kuhndawg,

My dislike of HMA has more to do with the types of customers they attract more than the efficacy of the proxies they provide.

I follow a simple rule, and that is, Google knows what it wants to know. I also believe that Google knows the origin of every IP that runs through it's servers. I'd stake my life on this belief. It is against Google's
TOS to scrape the SERPs. If you want to scrape legitimately then Google will allow you to pay for the access.

For the purposes of LPN, the only time a proxy would be necessary would be when we are checking for rank. When you enter the URL to be checked, and then begin hammering their servers. Overtime a profile can be built up and your URL and the IP you used will be part of it, along with thousands of others. I personally don't want to be part of this profile. I'm quite confident that Google knows exactly what IP's HMA is providing, if you can afford the service then Google surely can as well. I refuse to give Google any more power than they already have.

Me, myself, I prefer to obtain proxies that aren't provided by paid services. I'm much more satisfied using proxies that aren't dedicated. I would rather use proxies that have a short lifespan. Yeah, it can be a pain at times, and there's no question that speed is reduced. I want to be lumped in with IP's that aren't solely in use by marketers, I want to fly as low under the radar as humanly possible, I don't want an easy to follow trail to lead back to my URL.

90+ percent of HMA's customers are marketers, and from this 90% most likely half of them are using the proxies for use with automated programs and bots. The way I see it, you're simply handing Google your properties on a golden platter. If they're determined to locate you, make them work for it.

What I do when I need proxies is this. I have a proxy program that scrapes a handful of lesser known proxy forums for daily lists. I then transfer the list to a program that checks latency, level and country of origin, from this filtered list I will only use U.S. and Canadian proxies, I will only use level 2 or better proxies and for latency I will use the top 50%. This has worked well for me and I do sleep better at night knowing that I've done as much as I can to remain unnoticed and anonymous. Another thing to keep in mind, never ever use proxies that originate from Panama, China, Eastern Europe, Russia or the Middle East

Yes, I'm paranoid and overly cautious. I've had domains banned.

Do you need to be paranoid or cautious? Most likely not with LPN.

Does this post belong in this thread? No.

Keep in mind that if you leave a big enough footprint, Google may one day react.

freemind

Michael, you were right. Thanks a lot. So guess I need to recreate them. Oh well, it's a learning curve.

Thanks

2 questions:

1) When is this going private, and will an announcement be made prior to doing so to give those of us on the fence one last chance to buy?

2) For those of you who have been using this... Would 5,000 pages/posts (500 cities, 10 keywords) on a new domain incur a big G spanking? (ie, what is the maximum # of pages/posts per new site to stay under the radar)

Thanks

Since no body really knows for sure ...
I'm probably as much an expert as anyone...

my advise is create a bunch

wait till they're indexed then create another bunch

bunch = a logical humanly possible amount

Michael Rytter

On the Fence...? On the fence...? WHY?... Why would you be on the fence after seeing what is probably the longest WSO thread EVER...with 99.99999% positive accolades regarding the product.

I have absolutely NO relationship with the vendors other than I purchased this product.....they don't know me, I don't know them. We have been 100% full time online since 2001 (selling our physical products), so we know a thing or two (and a half? LOL!)......and this product does EVERYTHING they say it does....... AND MORE, IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!

A big G spanking....no...though your site will most likely bounce (often quite erraticaly) around a bit in the first month or two before settling.....(We call it Dirty Dancing with Larry and Sergie! LOL!)

DX

glad you asked... I had the same question once...

what I did was I tried it by creating ONE post/page
and then examinded the results...

hope that helped

Jeremy Kelsall

I would imagine that the private community will be done in the next 24 - 48 hours. when that happens, the WSO pricing will go buh bye, the pricing on the regular site will go to at least $127 for the limited license, if we opt to keep sales open.

I'm a tech tard, so there isn't much I can do to set things up...that is Don's "thing", and he's without internet as a result of that skank Irene

Quick question for anyone cloning your sites with WPtwin...I just tried it for the first time, and after I followed the instructions and cloned it, I came up with another domain name (subdomain actually targeted to another state), it made an exact replica of my site, but since the shortcodes were originally for cities in one state, it reproduced all the posts for those cities in the original state, and not the new state, so of course I panicked, and immediately took the site down. Probably a simple answer but I've been working on this for hours now and I'm fried. Any WPtwin users help me out here...

Thanks,

Steve

EDIT: I figured it out.

Ok, even though the Excel thing looked all funky - I tested it by copying it into a notepad file and it comes out fine without any spaces/weird line breaks.

So it should be fine to submit to bulk ping.

Ok, to sum up - go to your sitemap, just copy all the info. go to Excel and copy into it (use 4 columns). Delete the last three columns. Then you can just copy that new single column and put it in a text/notepad document and you should be good to go.

___________________
Anybody got a hopefully simple solution for Aunt Tiger here?

And of course I apologize if it has been mentioned before and I have zombied out.

I want to do the mass ping thing as mentioned. I get my url's from my sitemap. I've copied and pasted them into excel or a notepad file. However, I'm wondering if there is a lazy woman's way (which I am in fact quite lazy) of JUST getting the url and not having to manually go in and delete line by line the other sitemap info that is on each line next to each page/post (ie that percentage, how often, date, etc.)

Just FYI I did try to copy all the columns into excel and then delete the unneeded columns. Only issue is that the format is a bit off and I'm not sure if it will copy correctly to the submitter without spacing/line breaks issues.

Thanks!

Stacy

Tiger66466

Well, WPTwin worked exactly right then. What you need to do is get your site as you want it as far as the tedious stuff that can be replicated/reproduced (ie plug ins, any text/content that is almost identical). THEN clone it. After that you add in the content that will vary from site to site.

So you can do the same draft but clone before adding in the short codes. Or at the very least before publishing your content. Otherwise once you publish and then clone - you'll get all those posts and pages on your new site.

So again, if you don't want it on your next site don't add/publish it before cloning. OR be prepared to delete on the new site if you publish then clone.

Stacy

mawk01

Thanks Stacy for the quick reply...But what about all the posts that have already been produced before I attempt to clone. And do I remove the previous shortcodes before cloning then add the new ones after the fact?

Steve

optimumex

Hi Steve,

Take a look at Stacy's response again. She actually answered you in the first paragraph.

In other words what you'll want to do is create a clean version with the plugins, theme, LPN draft (optional), etc. but without any published posts/pages... then clone that. That way all you'll have to do is add your shortcodes and publish your posts with each new cloned version.

Hope that helps.

optimumex

mawk01

Thanks Optimumex....appreciate your help....but......maybe I'm reading to much into this....if I create a clean version with all the plugs, theme, etc....why would I clone it....:confused:

Thanks,

Steve

TheGreyling

You're kidding - right?

The point of cloning your site is so that you don't have to keep doing the same tedious things over and over - that is, the tedious things that ARE the same for each and every site i.e. if you use the same theme with the same tweaks, the plugins you use for every site so you don't have to upload them and activate them individually for every site etc. etc.

Why else did you want to clone the site in the first place?

Tiger66466

The point of cloning is to save time. Or to backup your blog. Basically you are saving yourself from doing the same tedious things over and over again. In other words, you configure the plugs in you use once, set up all your theme settings once, add your privacy policy/whatever content that tends to be almost identical from site to site. Then you clone and from then on you go forward only needing to tweak or start from where things need to differ from blog to blog.

I like to think of using WPTwin as my baseline. I set up a blog how I want it so that I don't have to do all that over again on the next blog. Once I've cloned I can then go on to each site ready to really WORK on it rather than set it up.

So for your case, if you are using the same exact draft but just for different cities or different states (ie the content is the same but the locations are different) you can add that draft in and then clone but prior to publishing. Then add in your short codes as needed per city (if they are different. If they are the SAME cities then add them before cloning otherwise you'll have to copy and paste those in). Then after you've cloned and are on the next site all you have to do is build up your pages after putting in the right short codes into the content (and having created the short code under the configuration portion).

The ONLY reason I could see you wanting to clone those posts/pages is if you think you can get more than one to rank for each keyword because they are on different domains and hence not exact same urls. However, that is a good example of "duplicate" content. Not that you'll be penalized per se but just that one of your sites will get filtered in the search - so really not even a reason to do it because it cancels that out as only one will end up showing up anyways in the search results.

mawk01

I'd want to clone it to do exactly what your saying...however, cloning the site, as it currently sits, would reproduce all the posts that goes with the site, including the shortcodes for that area ....

In order not to reproduce those posts, the way I read the above posts, is to go ahead an start with a fresh clean install, load the theme, plugsins, local page content, and then clone it? Seems like I still am doing all the tedious things that I'm trying not to do...

mawk01

Now that makes sense there Stacy....think I got it now....thanks for your help on this...

freemind

I copy the xml links into excell with Past Special and then with text - that works just great no funny spacing or breaks.

I have a question about Core Conversions and LPN. I've discovered a few posts that need CC installed. Do I have to rebuild each post for it to activate and start redirecting?

Thanks
Eddie

TheGreyling

Yeah - that's perfectly true. The mistake you've made is the point at which you're trying to clone the site. You have to do it BEFORE you add the posts/pages, so now the only way you can really do it is to start again with a new blog, set it up as you want THEN clone it onto another site you want to start. Otherwise you'll have to delete your current posts, clone the site and then replace your posts - which isn't as much work as it sounds using LPN.

I'm assuming in all this that you are wanting to roll out several sites - so although it might not save you much time doing the first couple, after that it will save you an enormous amount of time. You have to think of the long term time savings you'll achieve rather than just saving time on one site. If that's what you want to do (save time on just one site) then cloning isn't really going to help.

Eddie J

Can't WPTwin be used to create like a "template" for the LPN setup? All ready to roll with all your settings and tweaks? Then use THAT file/template to build every new domain or sub domain?

Eddie

Tiger66466

That's pretty much what I do. Template is the best way of putting it, I think.

Eddie J

OK...I have an issue and need some Warrior advice.

In the beginning, when I was a LPN Newbie, I just started posting and ranking. Now, I have more vision and am using a sub domain for each niche. However, my first niche is mixed with 3 posts in another niche. I dont want to delete these as I will be throwing away about 400 #1 positions. I DO however want to use Core Conversions on the entire subdomain and forward ALL posts to my clients site....but I dont want the 3 OTHER niche posts to forward to their site.

I know I can use CC per post but using it that way has been glitchy for me. Is there anyway to FORWARD these posts or move them to the other subdomain without hurting my rankings and without having them be triggered by CC?
Hope that doesnt sound too confusing... lol

Thanks for any help
Eddie

Stacy, were you a teacher in another life or something? You have the uncanny ability to explain things in simple, yet thorough, terms.

Hi Eddie

Try the free plugin Quick Page/Post Redirect DEV 301 post redirect to any valid URL. Test it make sure it does not conflict with the site wide settings in CC.

Regards
CD

Eddie J

Doing that now. I assume I UNbuild the post. Setup Quick Page Redirect with the url. Then REbuild and it should at least work for that post?

Then try CC?

Eddie

Eddie J

HOLY ****E!!!!

CD...YOU DA MAN!!!! (if you're a man...otherwise...WOMAN!!!!)

Worked like a champ and didnt interfere with CC at all.

Eddie J

I have this same issue. I have over 2400 ranking posts that are domain.com/tag and Core Conversions wont forward them. Any gurus out there with a solution?

Thanks Warriors
Eddie

Tilt

My template's started with 2 theme's in raw form just columns, plugins, ad spots.

If you already have content on you site you can back it up, DL it to your machine and then delete your posts. Now you have a template, back that up and you have just saved yourself 1-2 hours per.

I get more into it but let me just say I can now do a clone site in about 30 minutes if I already have that template ready to go.

My clone of choice is Backup buddy. I have WPTwin but I'm more comfortable with BB.

I'm starting with 1-2 y.o. indexed domains, on my new domains I'm beginning to age them with ultra spin articles.

Cyberdetective

Hi Eddie

Use another free plugin WP No Tag Base change the permalinks back to just the post title. Then check how CC works again.

Does anyone have a screenshot or "run through" of the proper wya to fill in AIOSEO for using LPN and CC? What boxes do with tick and which ones do we not?

Thanks to anyone that might shed some light on it.

Eddie

(Damn...I'm needy today....lol)

Cyberdetective

Tick the box use no index for tag archives, you can leave the defaults for the rest.

Regards
CD

Eddie J

OK. I did this and had no luck with the plugin "deleting" the /tag

Now when I change the /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ ( which I dont use any longer on new sites) to /%postname%/ it causes my CC not to work.

Not sure where to take this issue.

Thank you so much CD for all the help too. You're awesome.

Eddie

Cyberdetective

If you've got the drafts saved and have the same Cities in LPN or you have a copy of the list you used, just save the same draft again with the updated AIOSEO settings, should take the tag display away.

Regards

Eddie J

Ahhh. So I need to DELETE the 21 posts and then REBUILD them? Do that after the no tags base is installed and it will fix the issue?


Just to touch base on something though. Isn't it a GOOD thing to have 2500 posts with the /tag in the search engines?

Eddie

Cyberdetective

It's not a bad thing but you need a compromise if you are using CC site wide. From what you are saying you can't use both.

You should be able to save the same draft again to make the changes, AIOSEO is attached to the posts and integrated with the plugin. Platinum SEO is a better option.

Regards

Eddie J

Thats true. I dont know why I cant seem to get CC to work PER post correctly.

Anyways, Platinum SEO huh? A whole new config I assume? I'll try that on the site Im about to launch. Any tips for the settings CD?

Thanks again.
Eddie

Jeremy Kelsall

Core conversions, as far as I know, won't work on the "tags" - That might be something that we can update though...I'll talk to don about it. To be honest, non-LPN sites, you don't really worry about the tags ranking lol, so when we pulled all of the sloppy core conversion code into a plugin to release to the public, it wasn't something that we took into consideration...because at the time, we didn't know that we were going to release LPN.

Maybe something like this will work?
