Seomoz suggetions implemented but keyword rankings dropping.
-
We have been with SEOMOZ for just a couple of weeks now.
We impemented all the recommendations made in page analysis and crawl errors but since making changes we have started to fall in ranking for these keywords. Should we undo all his work or sit it out.
Why would our rankings fall if these changes are for the better ?
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.
Not too sure I can do much with the re directs ( except the .com ) as it is a limtation of the company hosting the site.
Will try a little more content and link variation too.

OK in 2 seconds - your redirects are incorrect
http://www.kerryblu.co.uk redirects to http://www.kerryblu.co.uk/
but
http://kerryblu.co.uk/ redirects to http://www.kerryblu.co.uk/index.asp
Aslo change the redirect on kerryblu.com to point to correct url
Where else might you have got this wrong? are you running Xenu or IIS crawls?
You also have too little content on your pages
http://www.kerryblu.co.uk/bridal-earrings-2-c.asp
http://www.kerryblu.co.uk/crystal-allure-bridal-jewellery-set-869-p.asp
I see you have been linkbuilding with the term "Kerry Blu - wedding accessories" make sure your link text diversity is natural

I agree with Stephen and Andrea.
Sit it out. I would allow 2 more weeks for a powerful site and a month for a site that is new or without a lot of connectivity.

Thanks
The website is www.kerryblu.co.uk
Google has crawled the site site the changes were implemented and the result appeared to be a sudden drop in ranking.

Ranking don't always increase right away (although it's ironic that they seem to drop fast, eh). Google will need to recrawl and reprocess your information. SEO "stuff" doesn't always make sense - and, while I am sure you did everything correctly, there could be something else going on.
As Stephan posed, if you are willing to share your URL, someone may be able to peak and see if they notice something you haven't.

Sit it out.
What is the url?

Is There a Tool to Link Moz Keyword Rankings With Google Adwords Campaigns?
I wanted to know if there is a tool or other way to automatically link my Moz keyword rankings with my Google Adwords account for the purpose of allowing me to "pause" Adwords campaigns for keywords for which I rank well in the SERP's and to "activate" Adwords for keywords for which I do not rank well. Since these rankings can change from week to week, it would be great to be able to turn on and off Adwords for specific keywords depending upon my rankings that week.

"Rank Tracker Tool" is not agreeing with "Keyword Difficulty Tool"
I usually don't sweat a lot for ranks and such but last couple of days, our rankings have been moving drastically. 'Rank Tracker' shows 1st position for many keywords and the "keyword difficulty tool" shows 2nd and 3rd positions. Is is just me or this is a common thing?

Excluding parameters from seomoz crawl?
I'm getting a ton of duplicate content errors because almost all of my pages feature a "print this page" link that adds the parameter "printable=Y" to the URL and displays a plain text version of the same page. Is there any way to exclude these pages from the crawl results?
