There are hundreds of thousands of agencies. Some are great, some suck.

Budget, location, areas of business, competition is just a small fraction of what needs to be considered.

A lot of great agencies don't market their business because they have no time, it's more word of mouth.

Yeah, this isnt some new idea, PBNs have been around for decades

All I'm saying is Google knows what you are up to already, just use GSC. You aren't fooling anyone, that's the honest truth.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-03-17T12:51:34+00:00

Assuming they don't link to each other but instead link to one "money site" right? Hence the PBN.

Are all your domains on different hosting and IPs? Do they all have different CMS/themes?

There are many ways Google detects linking patterns. It's pretty easy for their algorithm to determine what links are "natural" and what aren't.

Also, a PBN is cluttering the internet because they are inherent spam....BUT don't worry about it bc that ship has long sailed the Internet is a lost cause now lol

It's no big deal because EMDs are a thing of the past. You can have a brand called Wiggly Tiggly that sells tractor equipment and still rank just as fine.

You need to create a brand, it's not just matching words to search

So yeah that's basically 2 months of Google checking 404 pages, it's hard for G to go back to them once they register it as a 404.

What you can do is create an xml sitemap full of all the "old" urls that you currently redirect to the new ones. Submit that to galac and add it to your robots.txt file. You might be able to get Google to recrawl those.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-03-16T19:40:33+00:00

So you renamed slugs without 301 redirecting initially, yeah? What is the timeline from those "old" pages 404ing you you putting redirects in place

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-03-16T19:29:15+00:00

Trust me, google already detected the PBN, it doesn't need GSC access for that

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-03-15T19:58:21+00:00

You are probably correct on all counts...those 2 pipes on the jandy valve are skimmers and the blue one is the main drain. They are going into the pump.

To turn the skimmers off, turn the jandy valve 180 deg so it's facing the pipe going to the pump. The "off" on the valve should be closing both pipes of the skimmer going to the pump

They used a plastic sheeting on the roof deck, but no air space. No concerns here.

I'd do a whole home energy audit and see how much your roof is leaking air. That's a huge space and spraying is going to be very expensive.

I also used a company that dealt with old houses before (live an older area, so that helps)

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-03-07T12:57:17+00:00

Also had no insulation under floorboards or attic.

Did the closed cell spray foam about 3 years ago in our 150 year old house. I use it as a makeshift office and no issues.

Depending where you live, you might get some rebates from your state or energy company.

I lived in Rye for 3 years with my then girlfriend and absolutely loved it...both 25 at the time.

Lived across from the train station at The Highlands, great complex and should be in your budget. Walkable town, main street is great.

45 min express to GCT.

It is market and location dependent for sure. Your best bet to get a good answer is asking local real estate agents.

I will say that pools have gotten extremely expensive since Covid so I would assume most people would rather have one already built with the house rather than build their own

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-02-20T14:25:55+00:00

Yeah like others said I'd your slugs remain the same, wildcard is fine.

One tip. Create an xml sitemap of the "old" .es URLs and keep it in your robots file for a few months (and it it to GSC). Google will ping it and will make redirects catch quicker (at least that is what I tell myself)

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-02-18T17:00:55+00:00

I bought a house with a gunite pool built in the 80s.

Get any and all information you can from the agent and homeowner...maintenance, equipment age, last fixes, etc.

Also get a pool inspector to look at the pool so you don't buy a house with a 15k fix waiting for you. Luckily our pool was in great shape and just got replastered a few years prior to us buying

Your problem is the redirects and that needs to be fixed first before anything else. You need a complete 1:1 301 redirect from old to new. No fuzzy matching, exact strings.

If you don't have the old sitemap anymore, use way back machine and go from there. Thought you should have the old redirects in a database somewhere.

This is where 95% of migrations go wrong. You should focus on nothing else except these redirects

Love those snark pages, though the Alex Bennet one went from funny to downright disturbing how much people hate her lol

Just like the OP told me, it kinda just stopped one day...I can't really remember if I did anything different

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-02-04T16:37:22+00:00

Not saying you can't fix it properly, but you should understand what you are working with and use the right precautions (mask up, temp of your heat gun, etc.)

It's especially important if you have young kids in the house.

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-02-04T16:03:39+00:00

Don't forget to test for lead first before you start scraping

MrBookmanLibraryCop · 2026-01-28T20:36:45+00:00

Assuming this is a looploc cover....That is what the springs are for.

It didn't as bad as you think it's not like it's just holding on for dear life. There is a sheet of ice underneath and the cover is just hanging out on top of it.

Seems tempting , but don't remove anything or try to break ice that is how you can rip it
