A comprehensive case study on how I helped a site recover from a massive Google algorithmic loss...
January 7, 2015 74 68The economy is in the tank. Hundreds of thousands of people are losing jobs every month. Unprecedented numbers of people are losing their homes. Yet we, as Internet Marketing Professionals, are blessed to be in the right market at the right time.
December 29, 2008 9 5Nathan,
As a site auditor who routinely has to task page speed improvement to clients, this post makes me giddy with delight. Thank you for taking the time to communicate your experiences, provide clear and specific recommendations, and include enough caveats to clarify real world factors that need to be considered.
This post totally deserves to move to the main @moz blog!
There is no requirement for a site to pass with 100% validation regarding CSS or HTML. However the more errors you have in either of those on any given page / across the entire site, the more likely search engines may become confused in their understanding of the site's presentation, message and topical focus. This can harm user experience, and search engine quality and trust signals.
Interesting concept. Can a site see a boost if it gets "Panda" signals right?
First we need to understand Panda is one of many sets of related scoring sets in the greater Google system. If that scoring set determines a site is very weak on quality and trust signals, that site will likely at some point, see loss of rankings. That then, would be considered a Panda "penalty".
Conversely, that same site, if cleaned up properly, should, at some point, see an increase in rankings the next time those Panda specific algorithm factors are evaluated.
So what about a site that hadn't been hit by Panda? Wouldn't it then make sense that such a site should see a boost?
Not really, at least in most situations. For the vast majority of sites, if they're not "penalized" by Panda, it means they are "good enough". (otherwise they would have been hit)
And if a site is good enough to not be penalized, it's not likely to see gains.
There are, however, situations where gains can be had.
First, if the site is in a field where other competitor sites were hit by Panda, that site will naturally rise in rankings, even though technically, it's total ranking score remained the same.
There is at least some anecdotal talk around the web about sites that got an actual boost. So I suppose it is possible that a site could see a boost in its ranking score from a Panda update as an isolated change. However without knowing the full spectrum of a given competitive landscape and whether that boost might have come from other sites falling, it's very difficult to know what caused that boost.
Sure, some data has come out, especially with the bigger Panda rollouts where researchers have shown "winners" and "losers". So it is possible.
I just think however, that for the overwhelming majority of sites out there, that they fit in the "just good enough to have not been penalized" column.
I say that because every site I've ever audited, even ones that have not been hit by Panda or any other major algorithmic penalty, have had at least some flaws in their overall SEO and that translates into being "at least some weakness / vulnerability".
Just my opinion though. Others may actually have done extensive studies on this concept where they were able to isolate sites in ways that could show their gains weren't triggered by competitor losses.
That's essentially the boiled down list of broad bucket considerations of an audit as far as the type I perform goes. Each site is unique, so there are often other considerations.
Take for example, a site that has 200 sub-domains associated with it. Or a site that operates in a field where social engagement is vital to the SEO. So sometimes additional off-site evaluations (off of the main site in question) are also included. And that's just two of many other examples.
Responsive design. Ugh. Can't tell you how many responsive design sites I've audited where everyone claimed "it's just the presentation layer, so it doesn't impact SEO" and yet I found critical flaws in its execution that directly harmed SEO. :-)
The initial audit was a one-time paid project. I do, however, offer all my audit clients additional consulting during the implementation phase. If they need me extensively in that consulting beyond a couple hours, its at an hourly rate. Otherwise I just offer the occasional support at no additional charge since they pay me very good money for the audit and action plan effort.
This. This is why I do what I do. :-) Also for more info on QUART, you can read my original article about it over on SEJ at http://bit.ly/quartseo
Brady did a good job explaining my reasoning.
Content organization in URLs needs to model the ideal way its organized in site navigation (if site navigation is properly set up). In proper site navigation, it IS a funnel. You don't link to 5,000 pages in your main navigation bar do you? Or wow. You really need to NOT be doing that :-)
As is the case with most SEO, "it depends".
if you think "this really does relate to both these categories, yes you can assign to both. Except what if 90% of your posts fit that? That's 90% duplication. And Users to a certain degree WILL go WTF? Why do I keep seeing the same posts over and over again?
THAT is why it's bad for SEO. Search engines do NOT want to annoy / frustrate searchers. So its not JUST for search engines. It's for search engines BECAUSE its for users.
You're welcome - every post I write is presented with the hope it will help others.
50/100 in GPSI. That's tragically low. And its why I double check and triple check those findings with URIValet.com 1.5mbps speed data on a sampling of page template types as it most often (not always) represents a middle-ground speed that Google sees across the volume of actual site users. And then go to WebPageTest.org - they have a grading system of their own, and you can test speeds there.
It's been shown through many case studies that improving speed and crawl efficiency, even if it doesn't improve SEO dramatically, can still improve conversion rates dramatically.
2. Changing Hosts
Changing hosts should not cause problems if that's all thats done. If the new server system is worse then the old one, then yes, that can cause problems. Or if the URL structure changes, that too can.
How much time it takes if there's a loss depends on the extent of the new problems. I've seen sites drop with a move and once the new problems were fixed, begin to return to normalcy within a month or two. And I've seen others take several months to recover because the scale of the new problems were big.
In three cases, I saw rebound happen literally overnight once the problem was resolved.
In each case above, the problems were unique.
3. 2015
QUART - my five super-signals. Apply that to every single aspect of work that's done for a site. It's a very easy concept to remember, and with practice, becomes easier to apply across the board. Google is only going to get more restrictive, so the sooner site owners and managers get on board with quality, uniqueness, authority relevance and trust, the sooner they'll be properly positioned for sustainability.
Glad you like the post.
Like all tools, the Panguin tool has its value. And can be a time saver if things do line up.
You bring up a very important point - even after someone who can do the evaluation / audit work is involved, for many sites, even with client buy-in, there may not be the resources to apply enough effort consistently. Sometimes that just means more time is required (like the site you are talking about).
Sadly however, sometimes it's not enough to just keep plugging away on a small scale depending on the site, competitive landscape and limitation of resources.
In those situations, I sometimes end up needing to help the client understand it might be a losing battle. Painful to say, yet needed in those situations.
Thanks Sha !
Yeah - educating clients to get them to realize the implications / consequences is so important. We can expend countless hours of our time, experience and energy in producing findings, yet if they don't grasp the seriousness from a bigger picture perspective, it's a waste of everyone's time...
UX is "User Experience". Search engines attempt to emulate user experience when they evaluate whether a page, section or site deserves to rank for a phrase the algorithms assess as most relevant for intent.
Regarding your site: I can't assume from a quick look what might be right or wrong for any single site. There are hundreds of factors.
A quick check shows you are ranking low on the 1st page of Google for "clipping path service". So you have a good foundation of SEO.
Where weakness might be could be any number of issues. Since you only have one page for each service, if your site is competing against sites that have multiple pages for each of your primary service phrases, that's a consideration.
Other issues might be quality related. Your main clipping path page fails Googles Page Speed Insights test for mobile users (55 out of 100 points) and barely passes for desktop users (78 out of 100 points).
Your template is broken though. When I did a test just now on that page with URIValet.com it revealed a "403" server error on almost every single image in your site template.
And every single link within that page resulted in a 403 server error in my test as well.
So something is critically flawed there.
And there could be many other issues as well. That's the first few I found though in a quick check.
I am so glad you took the time to write this. I've been teaching clients to stop think "link building" and start focusing on "brand building" for a while - however I hadn't written an article on the subject. So now I get to point them here - I will be including a link to this in all my audit action plans in the "brand building" section to help them understand that this is how the publisher / guest contributor relationship needs to unfold and what it needs to look like.
if you are in position 1 for the phrase(s) you care about, there is no valid reason to change URL structure. In fact, doing so could trigger other issues, just one of which could be over-optimization. Always take a cautious approach to implementing keyword additions with a site or page you care significantly about.
if you have a 500 page site with 50 pages related to horses, and if you want success in the "horses" category, then there's no confusion of signals, only confirmation. If you want all fifty pages to be considered equal, but not rank for their common higher level topical focus, sure, skip the category layering. Just understand that it's going to take you that much more time to get all fifty to be recognized as being as valuable/important as all the others in that same level, right?
And as you point out in the article, it should be evaluated on a site by site, goal by goal basis.
Another great article Pete!
I think it's also important to note that category infused URLs need to be considered when a primary goal is to help boost the SEO for the category. Having
is definitely a valid structure if you want to show "I've got 50 pages all highly related to horses, and 30 just related to ponies within that".
Like you point out though, most people take that notion way too far, and end up hurting themselves more than helping. Especially when they don't recognize that it's "just one more signal" and requires its own dedicated off-site effort with inbound link work pointing to each "level".
Totally agree. With Penguin recovery being too rare at this early stage, we need to absorb what's shared, and continue to see what others experience rather than jumping to conclusions. It's a great day if for no other reason than the fact that we have such clear information on what was done to mitigate the drop, regardless of whether the return was manual or automatic we can then use as an initial baseline.
Whether people realize it or not, this industry is blessed to have not only the Moz tools, OSE and the Moz community, but more important, the people who make them and run them and give them ever increasingly more value. Every single Mozzer deserves congratulations for this.
Rand, it's been a joy to read your updates as you've taken the time to write them - I've only been following along a few years, yet it's just amazing to have been able to watch to this point, and I can't wait to see where you take the company moving forward.
On a final note, a BIG thanks to Gillian for all you've given to our community - may your future be blessed with even more happiness and joy than you've ever known.
yes - being banned from mech turk is one of the pitfalls of trying to use short-sighted tactics. The other is that an artificial attempt can potentially raise red-flags at Google if an unnatural pattern emerges. The beauty of the approach in the Romanian example is how actual marketing and social media were used to create a natural crowd-sourcing solution :-)
Once again Rand, I applaud you for sharing actual numbers with us - TAGFEE is a blessed thing - and I'm just as glad to see this article because I've been saying for years how flawed such outside views are. Too many people, investors, advertisers, are lured by the data and quote these site's as if they were golden. It also validates my perspective that the methods used by these companies is unbeleivably ridiculous. Their premise is they get a big enough "sampling" that they can then extrapolate. What baloney! The web it too massive, there are too many mind models using the web.
People really need to wake up to reality and get out of 20th century concepts.
wow how completely utterly cynical without having any facts. I've been performing audits for years and wanted a tool that does almost exactly what this one does. There have been a couple that almost came close over the years but not really got there. Already, in it's first version, I'm finding it invaluable in our audit work. Being able to provide a visual reference to our link foot print recommendations is crucial in helping enterprise client VPs, EVPs and CEOs rapidly grasp the health of that foot print.
The fact that he links to the tool, to me, is a pure bonus above and beyond the actual article itself. Kudos to Eppie for having the innovative recognition of its value. And personally, I look forward to the day there's a paid version that provides even richer data visualization.
At Click2Rank we just did a complete makeover of our site. Entire new design, and all new content. When it came to the services and the umbrella focus for the entire site, I went with my intuition. SEO Consulting services. Inbound marketing may feel like a better more cutting edge catch-all, however I work and live in the world of serving corporate clients. Corporate clients have always been, and will always be several years behind any "trend" - both because that's the speed at which corporate adapts, and just as often it's because they adapt slowly partly to prevent falling into the red herring trend hunt.
SEO, regardless of all the internally applied stigma (read that - stigma that we put on it ourselves, in various ways), and all the "SEO is evil" (from within and outside the industry), is, as Danny so eloquently put it, now has 15 years of foundational strength. And any corporate executive tasked with online revenue responsibilities will most definitely look to SEO many more times, and with much more clarity of value, than inbound marketing or any other buzz words thrown about.
OKay I can gladly retract the most inflamatory words related to market share. I will not, however, step back from my perspective. 20% share. Except even you admit it's a narrow band user type that likely surfs with Chrome. By that admission alone, it validates the perspective that I hold - 20% of the market should not have the ability to directly influence the experience the other 80% have. It's just not a valid basis for making decisions that impacts such a large share of the market.
Until Google gets out of the "We're going to give disproportionate weight to G+ because that way we can force people to use it" business, I don't think we'll see such a weighting data set for a long time.
The fact that Google and Bing BOTH use social data is really a bad thing right now. Even though social as a factor is in its infancy, the reality is that at this point, as many people as there are using social, the pool of data is corrupt.
Here's an example - Site Z ultimately has the best content, the best products and the best offerings in the market. Except Size Z doesn't have a properly evolved social plan. Maybe they can't afford it, or maybe they don't know better yet. Either way, for all the people in the social sphere, nobody's talking about Site Z there because of it.
That factor alone means that relying on social signals is a flawed concept.
It's no different than the fact that Google actually relies on Chrome data to influence things. Seriously. Chrome. The browser has such a small tinly little fraction of just one sub-set of a geek based market share that it's bogus junk data to then extrapolate that "If Chrome users lean this way, then surely the rest of the world does".
Which goes back to the longer standing problem related to companies that rely on flawed data will always only do a lousy job of coming up with quality resuilts. It's true with all the ranking sites as well. Compete, Alexa... Seriously. Who uses Alexa? And how is that isolated and myopically narrow user base really going to reflect all of society?
No - even when social becomes a bigger factor, it's still going to be a flawed factor. Which means that as soon as X, Y and J become "the top three social signals to optimize for", the search engines will once again realize that's producing flawed results.
So they'll have to come up with yet another hack trick to figure it all out. Yet to get back to my point, we're probably still a couple years away from even seeing what X, Y and J are. And by the time we learn it, things will have changed even more, in ways we can't even comprehend.
It really is rocket science. And as far as Wil's post goes, his biggest point is one I totally agree with - Search engines have to learn how to stop the bullshit.
Personally, I think the latest "we stopped using a signal recently" buzz from Google has to do with anchor text. They're going for proximity more than ever - relevance page to page specific to topical focus. The better they can get at that, the sooner crap links will become worthless.
I am blown away at how comprehensive this post is. Of all the "how to" and "tips" articles I've seen, this is by far among the very few at the top from a quality, depth, and value perspective. While I've followed many of these tips for a long time, and thus have found moderate success in my own efforts, they've almost exclusively been focused and contained within our industry. Though I've been interviewed for business radio, that was years ago. Reading this just turbo-charged my motivation to spread my wings out to the world of journalists and publications outside our industry.
I can't thank you enough for having taken the time to put this together and offer it up to the world.
Obviously Rand can respond to this directly, so I'm not going to put words in his mouth or claim I know his views on your comment.
What I want to speak to is my own opinion on what you said. And since it's just my opinion, please understand it's meant with respect of your own opinion.
Given that SEOmoz is not the size of, nor do they have the funding of a company such as Google, and while some people, such as yourself, are fixated on the "quality of the results", as far as I am concerned, the quality could be 100% for all I care, and yet if the data set were just a few hundred pages, SEOmoz would be worthless to me.
While the exact number of pages indexed isn't important to me, knowing that the moz team continue to strive to increase the volume of pages indexed means the world to me. And having an actual number assigned to it allows me to both gauge the scale and scope of the progress they make in regard to increasing the volume, it also humbles me to know that even a small company within the search community can even manage to gather that much data, let alone do so with the intent, desire and willingness to also ensure as accurate a correlation data-set as possible.
As I communicated with Rand tonight on Twitter, having a much larger data set makes a great deal of difference to me in the work I do at the forensic level, because the larger the data set, the more likely patterns will reveal themselves. Patterns that are at the heart of my forensic analysis during SEO audits.
And sure, while there may come a point when not detailing counts may come across as "mature" to you, I for one hope Rand continues to do his best to maintain the TAGFEE policy.
the "find a ton of great stuff pre-made" concept (like review sites for example) is a great one. Current client had a review site showing 1st page of results for their brand, but they only had a 2 star rating when I took over. They'd never taken the time to actually let real customers know about review sites, so all that had been there was misinformation and generic rants about their industry but targeted at my client. 18 days after implementing my recommendation on informing customers about review sites, that two year old entry magically transformed into a four star rating - dozens of real customers posted reviews. Sure, some were only 3 stars, but most have been 4, and several 5 stars - so now even though it's prominently on 1st page of Google, it's a total win.
Actually when I was researching whether multiple domains would be either practical or offer realistic user value, I found countless big brands that do it. American Express for example, has many web sites. Some not even domain name brand matches. If you have enough of a topical focus to build an entire section of your site around, it's open to consider as a stand-alone site, as long as you have the willingness, resources and time to drive quality content and inbound links that each would need to stand on its own as an authority site.
Glad to see this whiteboard presentation focus on this particular tactic. It's exactly the strategy I've got my team working on for a couple clients. Where the biggest difference is between this and most of what I see out there from people who take shortcuts is in how each of the related domains is done. Taking the time to actually model big brands is critical. Just slapping up a bunch of crappy sites with garbage content might get you owning the 1st page, at least in the short term, but it totally leaves out how negatively that can impact your reputation when people click on and go to those other sites.
So I spend the majority of my planning on that specific issue - what supporting sites can we create that, on their own, offer real information? This is not something that should be taken lightly or given little thought. The better you can do at identifying opportunities, the higher the quality of each of those sites, and that, in the long-run, will ensure sustainable presence, and trust.
And for anyone who says press releases offer little or no value, We currently take up multiple 1st page results for each of the clients we're doing this for just from press releases alone. It's a total win.
Personally I don't recommend migrating content off of a main domain over to a sub-domain for Panda reasons. If the content moved does have value, what I've found is the only time to move it to a sub-domain for Panda is if it's information that's radically different in topical focus than the entire rest of the site.
What I have been recommending to clients instead, with great success in Panda recovery, is to take the time to properly organize the content for more refined topical focus, consolidate thin content as well as perceived duplicate content, (beefing up unique content within individual pages), and removing the confusing over-used "related" content boxes that so many sites have where it's "sort of" related but not enough to be of laser-focus topical relevance. For many of those clients I also help them thin out the over-use of on-page advertising that further wraps around the main content areas, and finally, in some cases, have them improve page speed.
All of these techniques have helped clients rebound, though some have also then needed new social media and inbound link work done to reinforce the "we've cleaned up our act" perspective.
I take this route because of long-term reality.
By moving to sub-domains, you end up having to essentially build their authority up from the ground; also, unless the content is truly unique, you're not doing site visitors any favors by isolating that content. And finally, because if the content really is worthy, and can be consolidated as I've described, you retain that much more depth for the main site, which is the most beneficial aspect of choosing this path from an SEO perspective.
Just my experience, involving several web sites comprising millions of pages ranked and millions of visits.
I've got to agree with Ryan and offer my own perspective.
By doing something behind the scenes, it misses the opportunity to bring further awareness to a crisis that many around the world would otherwise not give a second thought to. By simply inviting people to click a thumb in participation, not only did it bring the crisis to many people's attention, it prompted several of us to kick in as matching 10% contributions.
Personally I'd already made a private donation, yet when I read this, it gave me an opportunity to look closer at my own finances as a business owner, and allowed me to see I could do even more. And that is a beautiful thing.
This is a great day for the SEO community. Honest. No BS. OSE alone is worth pro membership fees - and for newcomers to the industry and people needing to stay on the cutting edge, the plethora of resources in a Pro membership are beyond invaluable. To now offer a free 30 day trial is beyond great to see, because it'll give an untold number of people who might have been missing out on why this is such a great resource just enough of a motive to check it out. And once they do, they'll see what they'd been missing.
Congratulations to the moz team on this epic step.
I'm going to chime in on this one. I see comments such as yours posted frequently across all the top search marketing blogs and forums in response to what you, I and many others already consider "common sense". The issue however, is that this industry is filled with people who, regardless of time in the industry, still don't know, consider, or implement true across-the-board best practices.
Some don't because they have mostly learned on their own, and might just now be exploring more information. Others might have explored some information previously and ran with what they learned, though it meant lacking thorough research. And there are countless other reasons.
Just by reading the comment threads here, and seeing how many questions, clarifications, and other dialogue this article generated in regard to specifics on various points shows that it's healthy to have this kind of list for our industry to refer to.
Even if someone thinks they know everything, at the very least it causes us to pause momentarily and at the worst, confirm that we are on the right track.
And on a final note, I'd suggest that maybe articles offering information beyond this would benefit from being labeled "extremely advanced" for someone such as yourself if you feel you know as much as you do. To help you skip everything else. And in the mean time, the rest of us can continue to discuss these topics, regardless of our own previously understanding.
Just my opinion.
While link wheels may have some positive impact, it is not due to their being recognized as acceptable link building. it's due to the fact that Google might have some difficulty in weeding out some link wheel schemes.
To be clear, link wheels are not an SEO best practice. I've personally seen several previously well positioned competitor sites drop to the Google vortex after their link wheels were caught by the algorithm this past year.
Just because something may in fact provide ranking value does not make it a best practice.
OMG. I refrained from chiming in on this sub-thread til now for a couple reasons. First, the women of SEO are more than sufficiently capable of standing up to this kind of stuff, don't need me or any other man to come to their aid. Second, I'm human, and far from perfect. Mostly a wise-guy in fact within our peer community. And happen to banter back and forth with some of my women friends in ways that would not otherwise be acceptable. We do so knowing that it's a mutually agreed upon thing, all in fun.
Yet because of that, I didn't want to chime in here only to have you or anyone else then just go and take something I have said in those situations, pull it out of context and get all indignant.
Having said all that, I need to say that you are one of the most myopic people I've ever had the displeasure to observe as far as blind cluelessness when it comes to one of the most important issues on this planet.
One thing I need to point out is this - WTH is it that causes you to even refer to the women in our industry as "girls"? You do it over and over. Not once have I read anything in this thread where you referred to women as "women". Do you even realize that by using that word, you immediately and instantly reveal yourself as a sexist bigot?
Seriously. They're NOT children. They're adults.
And have you also noticed a pattern here? Where you feel "ganged up on"? Because I don't think you have any willingness so far to look within. That pattern alone is a massive red flag. It's also a gift. For you to stop typing in defense of your mis-guided belief. And to ask yourself some serious fundamental questions about how you see women, not just in our industry.
@Digital10Media - this past spring/summer, this issue came up regarding whether Google still factors the Meta Description. It came up after Maile Ohye, senior developer programs engineer at Google, had been talking about their relevance.
Someone had misquoted her, with the end interpreted claim that they are now, once again counting it in relevance evaluation. Except she didn't say that. It was a complete mis-quote. Lots of people chimed in, and several of us, just to be sure, went and conducted tests, to varying degrees of scientific, or lack of scientific process. Not one single test by anyone participating showed in any clear, verifiable, repeatable way that the Meta Description field is being used for relevance.
If you would like to read more about this, you can visit Search Marketing Wisdom and read my article on it with links to others.
TopSEOs has been written about many times over the past few years. This past summer several of us wrote articles, and I did a multi-article expose' on their tactics, methods and deceptive practices. Their response was to issue a public apology to the SEO community, make several major changes to their deceptive process, then proceed to act like they resolved everything, when, in fact, they continue, to this day, to push crappy companies to the top of their lists based on those companies paying for the position.
They do now happen to seed within those crappy listings, add legitimate companies, however at not time should anyone ever become enamored with the phony "ratings" they offer.
I would sincerely suggest that you understand that no truly reputable company would ever offer the types of services you seem to think "reputable" companies offer. And take heed at this article's list of tactics - because they are truly things to avoid, and actual reputable companies understand this.
I guess what it comes down to is our perspectives on how some people, both within the industry and site owners, read something like this with the result being that such concepts then get added in to the list of "important" SEO methods. My frustration comes from countless time spent with new clients having to help reeducate them after they read or are told by "experts" that such things are considered good SEO.
Yes, these exercises could help people understand how search engines work. No, it's not good for people to read this stuff without also understanding that sometimes Google has a valid, and truly important reason for not wanting to count additional links. Both from a spam prevention perspective as well as a user perspective.
Why have multiple links on one page pointing to one other page? I can sometimes see at most, two links on a page (one in navigation and one within content. But only if the 2nd link is justified for usability, not just SEO. but three, four, or more? No, I just don't believe there's a valid reason from a user perspective. So yet one more problem that arises with this type of article is the further pollution of content with bogus links purely for SEO.
That then brings up a very common problem I encounter - over-saturation of links on pages. Site after site I audit typically have 300, 400 or more links on a typical page. It's just crazy. Not only does that severely deteriorate SEO, it also confuses the user most of the time.
So while I'm not advocating the suppression of information as a general rule, I am advocating a much higher responsibliity from you and all of us within the industry who know and understand the ramifications, the not mentioned concerns, to speak up. Both to educate people and to ensure the surface magic isn't blinding.
As something that could be researched as a curiosity concept, I think it might possibly be considered an interesting article.
When I read it, the article implies you can get more ranking value through multiple links from a single page. That's a huge red flag.
I routinely deal with enterprise and and multi-million page sites that have top navigation polluted with visitor tracking code.
I have no desire to have to combat a client's belief that "it's good for SEO because it means we get extra points due to multiple links", because honestly, that tracking code should not be there. It's bad SEO. We already know that Canonical implementation is purely a "hint", and having to use it is NOT best practices except out of necessity to combat hack factors.
Articles of this nature DO potentially cause confusion and misguided beliefs about what should be clean best practices policies based on the more valid long term optimization path.
Even beyond the minute potential here, this kind of tactic is a fishing expedition at best, and destined for the Google scrap heap.
It's really also a matter of responsibility to newcomers in our industry who don't have that expereince, and see "oh wow - I have to start using this stuff because it was promoted from YOUmoz...
Such as? Such as the hundreds of factors discussed, reviewed, and confirmed as factors that are not likely to be slapped by Google. Unlike this "method", which is clearly a counter to Google's attempts to weed out overly linked garbage. There are only two reasons to provide a link within a page pointing to another page. User experience or SEO. If the SEO method is NOT tied directly to high quality usability, it's bogus. And doomed from the start.
So even if it has ANY value, and you have NOT shown that it does have any real world value on real web sites in highly competitive markets, such value would have to be so insignificant as to be a waste of professional web site owners marketing budgets. Better they focus on improving the quality of those factors known to be high value.
It's hack concepts like this that pollute the web with information totally irrelevant for sites in the real business world. Nobody should ever want to expend worthless time implementing such techniques when there are countless other, more long-lasting, valuable methods that too many people ignore or overlook.
OMG Joanna,
see - this is why people like Dana and I love you so much. Personally, I live and die by YOY data. It's even that much more valuable for clients in seasonally based business - trying to compare the summer of 2010 to the fall or winter of 2010 is so misleading - but compare Christmas season 2009 to Christmas season 2010? WIN!
Advocating anything to do with content in AJAX from an SEO perspective is wreckless if you don't also point out the fact that this is still a bad practice. Just because Google can now supposedly index content inside AJAX does not mitigate, in the least, the several flaws with it. Let's separate out the pure usability issues and focus exclusively on the SEO aspects.
Google Only
First, just because Google can, does not mean any other search engines can. So right away, you're excluding all those people who come from other engines.
Topic Optimization Limits
Most AJAX content is presented on a page that has multiple AJAX links, typically tabs. You can NOT properly optimize a page for all the varying content displayed inside AJAX tabs. The topical focus of that page becomes trash.
Designer /Developer Free-For-All
As soon as you tell designers or developers Google can index AJAX by this new method, they completely go off the deep end and overload what should be mission-critical content, into AJAX displays, thus further killing SEO.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line, if you care about proper SEO best practices, is to NOT use the Google protocol for indexing AJAX content.
I can only speak anecdotally, however I do believe that exact match domains carry too much weight. I see it a lot, and it explains why there's been intermitent explosions of exact match domains that also include State or City names followed by or following the keywords.
I do believe that the engines are going to have no choice but to discount them at some point. I just don't anticipate it coming any time in the near future. Which is tragic.
The other pet peeve this reminds me of is sites getting top ranking when they only have one slender page on a keyword phrase but they get the ranking due to the shear size of the site, even though the other 150,000 or 3,000,000 pages have nothing to do with the topic. Like Wikipedia. Or About.com. Shear weight over overall domain depth should not be such a significant factor.
I think that's a valid concern - people new to our industry, however it also relates to many people who have been around a long time and don't stay focused on the bigger picture.
My view on the data as I originally stated in the first article's comments is essentially that I've perosnally seen topic model importance in my own work, and that LDA seems to be a valid representation of my own work. Yet I also personally don't ever get caught up in hype, hyperbole or marketing spin even if it's subtle or unintended. I'm not most people though. Most people get totally lost in that, in their search for that golden ring.
I do think Rand does a reasonable job of making disclaimers with these "studies", yet in all honesty, with so much information overload to digest, most people gloss ofer even those efforts.
Is the answer to then not share this info? Maybe. Maybe it's to share this info with the first paragraph being an entire H1 red colored disclaimer.
People also need to recognize, yet most never do, that the data being provided is coming from a company that is in the business of selling its analysis tools. So whether it's intentional or not, the spin will, as a natural aspect of the business process, drive users / visitors to want to make use of the findings. That's not a terrible, evil thing. It's a business reality.
And most people are blind to all of these other considerations.
@OlivierAmar LOL well that just shows that 1), I don't always read all the comments when I have a burning need to add my 2 cents and 2) my comment proves you're a genius :-)
If there are in fact 200 factors, then each individual factor is going to be a tiny fraction of that. I think people get too lost in any single factor as being the golden ring of SEO. People really need to grasp the visual here. Topics are a factor. That's something we should all be able to accept as reality. Whether it's 0.1 or 0.3 or whatever, is not something ANY of us has the capacity to determine. Trying to do so leads to arguments and rebuttal rants beyond insanity. Really.
And since the LDA tool is not based on multi-word phrases, which Rand already acknowledged, people really need to get over trying to think LDA or the LDA tool are that golden ring. And instead, should just focus on across the board best practices, not getting hung up over and over on any single factor.
I'd have to agree that a much more complex model than has been described is being used by the search engines. I mean, when you've got literally thousands of sites, and in turn tens or hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of pages that "could" show up for any single phrase, LDA type models are going to be required to sort it all out for relevance.
Personally, I think it's got just as much to do with on-site cross-page sectional relevance as it does with individual page and cross-site relevance. And it means that people need to do a much better job at refining focus in these things than most in the SEO industry do. Or they can keep doing what they have, which would just make my work easier. :-)
In any case, I hope more people pay attention to the concepts at the core of this, and that they realize the new Moz tool is only really something to get them thinking as much as anything else. because how many single word keyword searches take place for sites that most of us optimize for (or should be optimizing for)?
I'm a bit concerned regarding the duplicate content aspects. While they don't count this as duplicate content for in the broader sense, I'm reading this as meaning that they may show a mobile page as opposed to a non-mobile in the regular results - so if I want page A in the SERP and instead, they show the mobile version of page A, that's an issue.
Yes, that's addressed if you use detection and automatically send the user to the version you want. Yet I think it also means you can't just create a stripped down mobile version by removing SEO specific content in that version. Whether it's long-tail search content, or links used for boosting value /authority of other pages, these are things that have to be in both versions.
I know you address this by simply using style sheets and not stripping out content, however I just think it's important to emphasize that there are bigger picture reasons to do so.
I bring it up because I've got a non-profit site I maintain where the mobile version is a lot thinner on content than the non-mobile version.
Am I making sense? Mobile + SEO is still such an alien world to me.
I really appreciate the details you provide Oli. You did a great job going the extra mile rather than just spewing out one liners.
And uh, for the record, if you were actually IN a 12 step program, you'd know that there are no doctors involved, and instead, it's our sponsors who give us the good orderly direction we need :-) But as a member of such a program, I won't take away any points from you for that little discrepancy :-)
The more I think about it, the more I have to agree with the issue of parsing words / interpreting. I tend to become a stickler for interpretation of word usage being based on my own internal filters rather than through a detached observer view and often forget I do so...
Either way, the data overall is fascinating and something that most of us don't look at on our own.
Thanks for coming out with this additional information from the original research. I think this does a better job at comparing data in a cleaner way than the previous article.
At the same time however, the statement "The ranking correlations suggested that the H1 tag isn't much of a differentiator, yet lots of people still swear by them:" is off the mark.
If the majority of the results you studied are sites that were optimized by people who don't happen to use the H1, that in and of itself is not a legitimate basis to claim that the H1 isn't a differentiator. Sure, your data might IMPLY this, but why even include such a statement here?
You're not comparing sites that use it to sites that don't given all other factors being equal. Since you're not making that comparison, such a claim only pollutes the information provided, and only confuses the matter given all your initial disclaimers.
Just my opinion...
Article marketing is dead. Anyone still doing it is expending too much time to get any real quality value, or they're pushing garbage out and getting garbage back.
It's already been said here, but guest blogging and fresh content for your own site are so much more valuable. As is working on a dozen or more other current algorithm factors. Like getting mentions in high quality places. Improving existing SEO in on-site ways that are more important now than they were 5 years ago when article marketing was all the rage.
No, spammers and people paying 20 cents an article killed article marketing. It really is time to move on people.
Every one of these reasons is spot on from my experience. Right now I'm providing outside consulting to a company that's got $75k worth of site rebuild going on and they have an excellent, seasoned in-house SEO. Yet they brought me in to validate his thinking, offer bigger picture strategy, provide fresh eyes to his work, and to provide the boss with due diligence given the magnitude.
We're talking about a company that does ZERO PPC because they had as much success as they did with his SEO, yet they're going national now and it made perfect sense to bring in the extra eyes.
Great 1st day article Lindsay! Personally, I find that really small site audits can be banged out in 10 or 15 hours, though mega-sites or sites that are in extremely competitive landscapes have taken me upwards of 50 or 60 hours.
I give myself anywhere from two weeks to two months depending on the scope and my current workload. This is such a huge concept because if I commit to a faster turn-around, I don't allow myself to ponder on key issues, or I try to force myself to focus, and that can result in missing some really critical aspects of the audit.
Ah! So that's what it's called... Can't say how many times I've heard SEO "Gurus" blabber on about how SEO should be based on performance, including conversions. Yet those same hacks fail to go into detail about the conversion process. So they paint a half-picture to the business world, and it's one that I've refused to participate in.
Too many times I've had to explain to prospective clients that unless they give me the ability to participate in the post-click experience, all I can do is get people to the site.
I also think that CRO itself can only be as successful as the products or services offered and all that entails, which goes far beyond landing pages. So if a site owner isn't going to allow me to decide what products they sell, or what the price point is, CRO is still very limited and more suited to conversions that simply require a form to be filled out for further info. Which, of course, isn't to say that's "simple" in itself. Just less complex :-)
Having gone through much of this for my own company right as the DotCom collapsed in 2000 (at least we got that initial seed funding), and having served on a number of advisory boards for other startups over the years, I need to say this is the most well written, honest and beyond generous sharing of the VC process I've seen in a long time.
The fact that you took the time (we watched your tweets as you torched through the wee hours of the night) you did, given your beyond full plate, speaks volumes of your love for the search community. And reaffirms why you truly deserve all the success in the world.
The power of tapping existing relationships in action... Now I get to put in that footwork as well, though I do need to point out that while they're "free", as in not paid for directly, the time and effort that goes into the process clearly requires someone's paid hours - so that minor detail is a consideration.
Personally though, I like the fact that it's os straight forward and there's no guess-work about "what new site do I contact now, and how do I find them..."
Here's a simple quick spreadsheet - Google has indexed a lot more content on GoogleIsAwesome.com than the others. I am betting this is because of the PHPBB - lots of continually new content added steadily over time.
The other two sites have much less unique content on their pages.
And since there's links at least in some of those pages to that frakkin home page, and the "Google Is Awesome" words all over the forum, in whole and in part, that's counting for something as far as Google is concerned. That's got to be the cause. Brute force depth on-site.
Rand, according to Yahoo there's 44 internal pages pointing to the home page. I did a quick check on one and sure enough, there's links to the home page of the site to "Visit Poster's Web Site".
Follow-up - it's actually multiple links pointing to that home page on the PHPbb page I examined.
I know this is a craptastic reason to give them high ranking but remember we're talking about Google - the site that lets spam sites rank #1 by using phony page counter sites exist where those plant free page counters on thousands of trash sites all over, and where those sites have nothing to do with the site linked to. Even though Google claims they don't count those craptastic links.
The first one is easy. Its a PHPBB site with a couple hundred pages indexed that all have Google Is Awesome in forum page titles, links, footers, and over 6000 entries. the keyword is all over the forums content in full and split form.
Since Google is so lousy at properly filtering out crap, it's earned its place in the rankings.
Great article. I most especially appreciate the "quick flowchart". Quick? Dude that's why you're the RandFish!
Anyhow, I had been avoiding the nofollow aspect of sculpting til now, too many other things to focus on, or at least so I thought. Your chart confirmed that for 99% of my clients I've been focusing on the right things.
I do now, however, have a couple clients with 20k plus pages and though I've seen okay results so far, was wondering if the main issue was page sculpting or inbound links. Now, with the Google change AND your flow chart, I am convinced it's time to focus on those links.
Thanks for being able to clarify this otherwise up til now confusing issue.

- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at TJX Companies (London, England) in March 2015.
The interview was a recorded video. A little strange to be talking to yourself the whole time. The interview consisted of three tests: reasoning, numerical and logical. The numerical was fairly difficult because each question is timed (the math itself is not that difficult).
Interview Questions
- Have you visited any of our stores recently and how would you change them? Answer Question
- No OfferAverage Interview
I applied online – interviewed at TJX Companies.
the initial application process for the TJX Merchandising and Buying Graduate Programme was rather straight forward, having to upload a CV, give additional information about education and employment and answer a few questions about why you were interested in the scheme. After about 2 weeks I received an email inviting me to undertake some online tests and a video interview. The tests were hosted buy Talent Q and I found the numerical tests more difficult than others I had carried out for other companies due to the strict time limit of between 60 and 90 seconds per question. The logical and Verbal tests however, were more comfortably completed. The video interview was hosted by Hireview, the format consisted of 10 questions which you were given 30 seconds to prepare an answer for and then 3 minutes in which to present the answer. You did not have to use the full 3 minutes however and could move on to the next question as soon as you were ready. There is no option to re-record your answers. The questions were not particularly unexpected. They included references to the off-price retail model and how that would affect both the buying strategy and the merchandising strategy (in separate questions) and also questions about personal experience which would make you relevant for the position.
Interview Questions
- "Which other schemes have you applied for and why?" Answer Question
- "Talk about a time when you have shown resilience" Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at TJX Companies (Watford, East of England, England).
Interview Process
First stage: Application form, usual CV and cover letter submission. Followed by a few questions regarding your motivation for applying to the graduate programme (including tell me an interesting fact about yourself)
Second stage: Upon successful completion of the application form, you are provided with a Numerical and logical reasoning test
Third stage: Assessment Centre - you take part in various group activities which include a Problem Solving task and a project based exercise. Individual exercise requires candidates to select from a number of future projects and to decide which ones would be ideal for the TJX business. For this particular exercise you are given a set budget and have to decide which business projects to Approve and Reject. You are also required to present a short presentation on your ideal company for 15 minutes to a panel of 2 interviewers. Lastly, you are given the opportunity to speak to current graduates about their job roles and current experiences in the Business Technology Programme.
Overall a very positive experience. The interviewers made you feel comfortable and provided food and drinks throughout the day.Interview Questions
- If you could be a road sign, what sign would you choose and why? Answer Question
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online – interviewed at TJX Companies in July 2014.
I applied through their website, and was required to fill out there questions based on past experiences, motivations to work for TK Maxx, etc. This process took around 20minutes. I was successful for their second stage process, and was invited to do a numerical and verbal test. They gave me around 5 days to complete this.
The maths was average, usually with ratio and percentages. It primarily consisted of (LONG) word problems. Although the question were easy, they only give you 25minutes to complete 10 questions, each question with 3 parts - This could of been easy to do if they gave me enough time. The verbal was very easy, just reading an extract and then answering questions about it.
They also required a video interview, where they give you questions (around 10), and you answer them by speaking to the camera, like a one sided interview.
The questions were for me (these change!!) :
1) What other brands did you apply to, and why?
2) Why did you apply to the TJ Maxx Scheme?
3) Describe a difficult task and how you achieved this.
4) Describe a time when you worked within a team and its challenges.
5) What do you know about "Off Pricing" in Buying?
6) What did you recognise when visiting a TK Maxx store and why is there a different stock at different branches?
7) Describe a time when you put plan into practise.
8) Biggest failure in uni/work and how you overcame this.
9) Biggest achievement in work/uni.
10) What do you know about "Off Pricing" in Merchandising?Interview Questions
- They ask you about merchandising even though you are applying for a buying position so be prepared. Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at TJX Companies.
Met with one of the talent acquisition managers at a Grad Fair who offered insight into the scheme and what sort of work I could expect. After my meeting I applied online where you are expected to answer three questions, include your CV and a covering letter. After this I was invited to carry out the online tests (relatively easy) and online interviews (10 questions). I have now been invited to attend an Assessment Centre later this month
Interview Questions
- What was your biggest mistake at University? Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at TJX Companies (Watford, East of England, England) in December 2013.
First completed several motivation questions and uploaded CV. Heard back within 2-3 and invited to complete further questions and a 30-minute one-way video interview consisting of 10 questions. Each question appears for 1 minute followed by a 2 minute slot to answer in. If you finish before the 2 minutes are up you can move straight onto the next question.
Interview Questions
- Tell us about a time when you put a plan into practice. Answer Question
- No Offer
I applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at TJX Companies.
Did an online application, some maths and english tests online, followed by a video interview. I was then invited to an assessment centre which was split into two visits to head office in Watford. The first visit involved an individual and group assessment, and the second was an individual interview and a presentation.
Interview Questions
- Describe what interests you most about the retail industry Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at TJX Companies (Watford, East of England, England) in August 2010.
The first interview was a 1:1 with the hiring manager,Mainly fitting and competency based questions.The interview was very nice and was considerate when I was stuck.
Second round was with the CFO.Again very thorough interview.A little less friendly that the earlier one,but fair.Interview Questions
- A situation based senario ,dealing with difficult people 1 Answer
- Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took a day – interviewed at TJX Companies (Framingham, MA (US)) in April 2015.
The video screening interview was very awful but helpful in understanding what types of people they are looking for. Take your time in between questions and realize that they aren't looking for a specific answer. Just to see that you are a personable and outgoing person.
Interview Questions
- When was the last time you visited a TJX location/ Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at TJX Companies (Framingham, MA (US)).
Applied online through my university, recorded video interview of 9 behavioral questions, then a group interview exercise where you look at data and allocate jackets to different stores- it was easy but make sure to speak up during the discussion, and was then invited to the home office last round interviews where you do three 20 minute interviews. most questions were behavioral. its important to highlight your leadership abilities. it was a lot of work for not that great of pay

Issue Preclusion in Complex LitigationEdward D. CavanaghSt. John's University - School of Law 2010 Review of Litigation, Vol. 29, p. 859, 2010 St. John's Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-0017 Abstract: In an era of multiparty, multijurisdictional, multidistrict litigation, federal cases have grown increasingly complex. As judges struggle to manage complicated cases, a new litigation paradigm has emerged. Rather than attempting to try all cases in one action, federal judges are now breaking the litigation down into smaller pieces, using "fast tracks" or "bellwether" cases, hoping that resolution of one or two cases will lead to settlement of the rest. Inevitably, because the cases involve identical fact issues and identical defendants, the doctrine of prior adjudication comes into play. This article identifies and analyzes significant issues that arise in the application of the doctrine of prior adjudication to multiparty, multijurisdictional, multidistrict litigation. These issues include: (1) whether issue preclusion applies where an appeal is pending; (2) whether invocation of issue preclusion is proper where its use would effectively foreclose the right to jury trial; (3) the issue preclusive effect of an order denying class certification; (4) whether a subsequent court is bound by the preclusion rules of the prior court; and (5) whether vacatur nullifies the issue preclusive effect of a judgment.

We don't enforce against all uses of CANDY – some are legitimate and of course, we would not ask App developers who use the term legitimately to stop doing so. The particular App in this instance was called 'Candy Casino Slots – Jewels Craze Connect: Big Blast Mania Land', but its icon in the App Store just says 'Candy Slots', focussing heavily on our trademark. As well as infringing our and other developer's IP, use of keywords like this as an App name is also a clear breach of Apple's terms of use. We believe this App name was a a calculated attempt to use other companies' IP to enhance its own games, through means such as search rankings."

Hello all, I'm having difficulty with the PSS 777 in VNAV mode. I've set up the FMC completely, confirmed multiple times that the flightplan, Initial Reference, etc are correct, and still the VNAV will not function. After takeoff, I tried to engage it, and it just held the altitude I was currently flying at, didn't climb, didn't descend. I know of another avid PSS 777 simmer that has had this issue also, so if anyone has any clues or tips to help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance, Noah [Edited 2010-03-18 17:12:00]

New women's program goes beyond being a support group
New women's program goes beyond being a support group

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
1/14/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Many military wives have lots of things in common. For example, they have to deal with the stressors of their husbands deploying or going TDY for extended periods of time and raising a family on their own for a while. Conversely, many female active duty members also share several of these struggles as they move from base to base and are faced with deployments.
A new women's group, called "Married to the Military - Mission Possible: Building Strong Family Bonds and Community Connections" aims to bring these women together to not only discuss some of their concerns and meet other spouses and active duty members, but also to educate them on where to find resources in times of need.
The new program, made possible by a grant awarded to Domestic Violence Service Network (DVSN) in collaboration with Hanscom's Family Advocacy Program (FAP) and The Elliot Center, will begin on Jan. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Minuteman Club.
The group will meet each Thursday for five weeks and attendees will receive information and discuss their experiences on a variety of topics, including parenting a military child, getting to know the community, financial issues, coping strategies, post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and more.
Both Capt. Lisa Hoyt and Matt Nicoli from FAP have been working with the outside agencies and are excited about the possibilities of the new group.
"We're bringing things all together with this group," said Mr. Nicoli, family advocacy intervention specialist. "I've talked to people throughout the Hanscom community and they have voiced a desire for something like this, and there has been positive feedback from people about this group."
Organizers say the initial idea stemmed from a women's empowerment group meeting that took place more than a year ago. Although the meeting was geared more toward empowering women to stand up to domestic violence, several attendees suggested another group be formed to focus on the many issues military families must deal with.
From there, FAP began working with DVSN and The Elliot Center to provide this need.
During the five sessions, daycare will be provided by volunteers from the Child Development Center and snacks and drinks will also be available.
Both representatives from Hanscom, as well as other representatives from throughout the region will speak to the group on a variety of topics and inform attendees on where to go for more information. For example, the second session on Jan. 27 will focus on community and the Bedford chief of police will be one of the community panel members.
Representatives from the local schools, chapel, Airman and Family Readiness Center, legal office and finance will also attend and offer information and advice.
"Statistics show that the more stable the family is at home, the more likely the military members will be better able to perform his or her duties at work," said Captain Hoyt, chief of FAP. "We hope this group will help create more stability and cohesion in military families."
The group will be open to active duty members, spouses, family members and significant others from every branch of the military. Women from the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, Fort Devens and the Coast Guard are all invited.
"When newcomers arrive, they often receive a lot of this same information, but it may be overwhelming at the time," said Mr. Nicoli. "Those that attend the Mission Possible group can learn more about the military, Hanscom and the surrounding communities and have a face to face meeting with someone rather than just seeing a brochure, flyer or website."
The other aspect of the group is to build relationships.
"The idea for this group came about after we noticed some trends," said Captain Hoyt. "There is still a need for people to connect with others who are experiencing similar situations as them."
If the partners receive more grant money, the hope is the group will continue to meet throughout the year.
"We want to keep this going, if possible," Captain Hoyt said. "At the end of the last session, we will ask attendees for their feedback and suggestions on future topics."
Organizers are also open to other suggestions.
"If we receive feedback from the group that there is a desire to invite military husbands to the table, we will look into doing that and possibly set up a group for men and couples," said Mr. Nicoli. "If the group members want to change the meeting times to the evening, we can look at that, too."
The cost to attend Mission Possible is free. Those interested must sign up in advance, but there is no need to attend every session.
"If you show up on January 20 and realize you only want to attend the session on pre and post deployment related challenges, then you're free to do so," said Captain Hoyt. "We want to keep attendance at a manageable size and also know how many child care workers to have on hand and be sure to have enough refreshments."
Anyone interested in attending Married to the Military - Mission Possible: Building Strong Family Bonds and Community Connection may sign up by contacting FAP at 781-377-4617 or e-mailing email@example.com.

My Stepson's Brother (Not With Us) Disclosed Mom Molested Him (self.stepparents)
submitted 1 year ago by ScribeWrite
We had suspected this for some time. My stepson came to live with us permanently at the end of January of 2013. There had been many issues and his mom had had an open case for about two years with CPS before all her children were removed. The children were adjudicated neglected and we went through the family courts for several months until full custody was officially granted to my husband. A forensic investigation is taking place, and we are pretty sure that this is not a false accusation. We are aware of some issues first hand and information from the GAL and family members that support this accusation. So, we are not part of the Family Court proceedings. We believe TPR is imminent. If TPR does occur, we will have to initiate separate proceedings for my stepson. How do you explain this to a child? He's currently seeing a counselor...We're preparing for the possibility of me adopting my stepson, but this is going to be hurtful no matter what. I'm also wondering if we should go ahead and initiate TPR due to the adjudication for neglect in light of this situation. --We believe he has been molested as well. We want to protect him.

I'm so sorry your family is going through this. People may have suggestions here, but it depends on his age. Also, who is caring for his sibling? It may be important for them to have time together to heal in a safe place.
[–]ScribeWrite[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
The sibling is in a level three group home. He has been involved in questionable behavior with the other kids, and kids in the group home. CPS does not want the younger children exposed to him for safety reasons. The whole situation sucks.
[–]peace_core 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Oh damn. How terrible. What a world...
[–]derb8412 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I imagine you already have an attorney? I would suggest initiating TPR. At this rate, if the other child's TPR goes through, then you wont have nearly as long to wait for yours. Im sure you know that child custody hearings usually take a very long time. In terms of how to talk to him, I suggest working very closely with this counselor. What has worked best for us is discussing with the children "safe". "you can't go to BMs right now because it's not safe, we are working with her to make it safe but until then you simply cant go. I'm sorry I know it doesn't seem fair..." Yours obviously will be much worse, but try to aim it around safety not that BM is a horrible person. Always remember that SS is part of her, and he will always love her no matter what she did to him. We are not in a situation nearly as bad as yours, but our BM is violent and neglectful, has had a lot of CPS issues with my sks and her other bios. Using the counselor to explain why they cant see her or the like has been helpful.
[–]ScribeWrite[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
We had an attorney during the adjudication phase. All parents had them. There were four total. We do not have an attorney currently. Reunification has been on the table for her other two until the oldest disclosed. Thank you for the suggestions.

The LeeVees is a rock band from New York City featuring Adam Gardner of Guster and Dave Schneider of the Zambonis. The band was formed when the two bands went on tour together. The latter band only writes songs about hockey. Gardner and Schneider thought it would be fun to form another rock band, a Jewish one, that only wrote songs about Hanukkah, because there was a dearth of contemporary songs about that holiday. It first came to prominence near the end of 2005 with its debut album, Hanukkah Rocks. After realizing its initial approach was rather narrow, it continues as a band with a strong Jewish identity.

Pool and Pickleball! What a great combo!
Second time here and every bit as good. Amazing accommodation and hosts to match. Faultless and will definitely be coming back again!
My wife and I stayed at Windsong for our 5 year anniversary. We had great weather and could not have asked for a better weekend... Well maybe more time:) The hosts made sure no detail was left undone. We will definitely be going back.
Staying with Rick and Trena was a treat! The views, hot tub, and conversation make this place truly unique. I'm looking forward to returning when the pool is open!
Absolutely perfect in every way. Rick and Trena are the epitome of an amazing airbnb experience. A beautiful house, the ultimate retreat just outside of Bend. Kind, friendly and respectful hosts.
The pool is as good as it looks. The Disc golf course is a great experience. The view is ridiculous.
If you find this place on a hot day, you'll be in heaven. But i'm also considering going back in the winter for a perfect little retreat and break from the norm huddled around the fire and making more use of the hot-tub(s).
This is the kind of place i hope (for my selfish sake) no-one else finds out about!
My girlfriend and I stayed with Rick and Trena over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time. Our hosts were very gracious, and we felt like we had the run of the place. We lounged downstairs, slept late, sat in the hot tub, swam in the pool, and chatted with Rick and Trena. We had a wonderful time, and would happily visit again.
If you ever come across this listing, smile... You've hit gold! A great house out of town, with spa, a swimming pool, and unbelievable views. The hosts Trena and Rick are generous, friendly and welcoming. We all sat around the fire with vino and nibblies, and had great fun. A great experience. Top marks from us
We had a delightful stay with Rick and Trena. They helped us pick some outdoor activities near Bend, as well as suggesting several interesting restaurants in town for dinner. The accommodations were very comfortable, and we took full advantage of the hot tub. Next to the bedroom where we stayed there was also a semi-private living room with nice couches for reading, a cozy woodstove, and, legitimate mountain views. The house is only ~10 minutes from downtown, but it feels like you've left the city limits far behind. Overall, a really nice place to stay while exploring the greater Bend area!
This host has 11 reviews for other properties.
My wife and I live in one of the most beautiful areas on earth - the high desert and the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. We love spending time on our 51 acres and sharing it with others. We try to live in harmony with the land as much as possible. We raise chickens and grow most of our own vegetables. We are forward thinking and love spending time with others and exploring new ideas. Our motto is "Grace, Gratitude and Growth."
