Okay, g. Provide the criteria for "Topical Authority" so we can fix our stuff.

Eh? g? Can't hear you!

Another time waster chasing shadows of Mysterious Metrics---or perhaps a more precise way of saying "your site sucks." Either way there will be sleepless nights trying to figure this one out!

Turns out it's a directory of links, nothing more. They had visibility in G however got delisted with the "No Technical error: Not enough Topical Authority". Somebody came in and enlightened them to create unique content.

Won’t get fooled again.

Oh. Whoops. This isn’t foo. Got my tabs mixed up.

There are directories, and then there are directories.
