Google search engine questions
-
I'm new in SEO, so sorry if i ask already discussed questions.
After some search I still have questions that i need to confirm if i am right:
1. Google calculate only first link from some domain (for example domain1.com) on some page (domain2.com/page1). So this is good to create other link on page domain2.com/page2 but no reason on domain2.com/page1. Right?
2. Plural and singular forms of search words. We can be top ranked for plural form and out of top50 for singular form. What is best practise to be top ranked for both?
3. Google images. We have changed image file names and added alt and title option. There are any other way to go on top?

1. Yes, that's what many SEOs believe.
2. Use both plural and singular forms in your content, internal links and strive to obtain external links with both.
3. Make sure you aren't over-optimizing (I tend in that direction sometimes and am trying to break the habit. ) and be sure to use the keywords naturally on the page near the photos.

Backlinks on Moz not on Google Search Console
Moz is showing thousands of backlinks to my site that are not showing up on Google Search Console - which is good because those links were created by some spammer in Pakistan somewhere. I haven't yet submitted a disavow report to Google of well over 10K links because the list keeps growing every day with new backlinks that have been rerouted to a 404 page. I have asked Google to clarify and they put my question on their forum for an answer, which I'm still waiting for - so I thought I'd try my luck here. My question... If Moz does not match Google Search Console, and backlinks are important to results, how valid is the ranking that Moz creates to let me know how I'm doing in this competition and if I'm improving or not. If the goal is to get Google to pay attention and I use Moz to help me figure out how to do this, how can I do that if the backlink information isn't the same - by literally over 10 000 backlinks created by some spammer doing odd things... They've included the url from their deleted profile on my site with 100s of other urls, including Moz.com and are posting them everywhere with their preferred anchor text. Moz ranking considers the thousands of spam backlinks I can't get rid of and Google ignores them or disavows them. So isn't the rankings, data, and graphs apples and bananas? How can I know what my site's strength really is and if I'm improving or not if the data doesn't match? Complete SEO Novice Shannon Peel

Do the bots crawl the top of the page first - directory listing question
Hi all, I've purchased a link from a good PR4 website, but they added my link to the bottom of a lengthy page. They offered to up-sell me to get to the top of the page, where I'll be 10 or 12 links down. One of my direct competitors is at the top, so I'm happy with the directory choice (they spank me in rankings). The only reason I'm on this directory is to purely capture link juice. So knowing all of that, my question is, should I go ahead and pay to be on the top, assuming that Google bots crawl a page from the top down? It's important to me for the bot to log this link quickly. Or is paying to be at the top pointless, because the bot will just as quickly crawl to the bottom of the page and pick up the link anyway? Thanks! T
