From Number 4 in SERP to NA in SERP
-
Keyword : speed reading classes
URL : hhtp://www.speedreadingclasses.org/
Earlier the keyword position was # 4 in Google.com
Did a 301 to this from a different PR4 site. I was expecting position 2 or 3 but it went to 9 on last Wednesday. On Thursday It went to # 10 and today it is not even in the SERP.
What might have gone wrong? Is there any way to know about this?
Please help.
Regards
Ray

are you in India or USA
-
Checked using Google.com again using Firefox this time. #6

You are #6 here in the US (checked in Chrome). Can you see when your rankings shifted ? It might have been the Google Adsense Penalty, but looks highly unlikely to me. I think some minor on-page optimization can help you get back. Slow and Steady wins the race

Using the Bing Toolkit,
but you can see this by using dev tools in IE, press F12 and select network tab
Here is an example
The link to "http://www.speedreadingclasses.org/messages/" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.speedreadingclasses.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fmessages%2F"Why would this redirect, from a frindly url to an ugly url anyhow?
-
How did you check that. through the search engine or by using any tool.
Earlier it was at position 4 (7 days back)
-
Yopu rank #7 from here in australia for speed reading classes,
Having a look at your site, i see a few problems, i dont know if you have made any changes in the last few weeks you did not say.
But one problem i see is you have very little content on home page, and very little above the fold.
Google now ranks pages lowerif they have little content above the fold.
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-improvement.htmlApart from that, you have over 1800 un-necessary redirects, meaning you have internal links that do not point directly at the correct rul, but are redirected there. Redirects leak link juice. you are missing a lot of link juice.

What is this SERP feature called?
This carousel-like display is appearing for one of my main keyword searches. Kind of looks like that for songs in the Meg-SERP guide. Is it a list carousel? Is it controllable/influenceable? What other entities does it/can it appear for? IEEE-journals-search.jpg ACM-journals-search.jpg

Author Byline in Page Title in SERP
I was exploring my company's visibility in Google News results, and I noticed the author byline in a recently published article was being pulled into the page title in the SERP. See the attached image for a screenshot. It makes it sound awkward: "How to Find the Best Cannabis Experience and High for You Patrick..." - as if we're explaining it to some guy named Patrick? We have the byline the same way in all other posts, but this is the first I've seen this happen. Has anyone seen/had this happen, and if so, have any ways to prevent it? Thanks in advance for any insights! Here's the post URL:Â https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/how-to-find-best-cannabis-experience-high csvmF

Site Migration of 4 sites into 1?
Hi Guys, I have a massive project involving a migration of 4 sites into 1. 4 sites include: **www.MainSite.com ** www.E-commerce.com www.Membership.com www.ResearchStudy.com Goal of this project is to have 1-4 regrouped into Main Site I will be following the best practice from this post https://moz.com/blog/web-site-migration-guide-tips-for-seos which has an awesome checklist. I am actually about to start Phase 3: URL redirect mapping. Because all of these sites have hundreds of duplicates, I figured I should first resolve the Main Site dup issues  before creating the URL redirect mapping but what about the other domains (2,3,4) though?  Should I first resolve the Dup issues on those ones as well or it is not necessary since they will be pointing into the Main Site new domain? I want to make sure I don't overwork the programming team and myself. Thanks For sharing your expertise and any tips on how should I move forward with this.

Massive SERP crash
I came in this morning to a swath of email updates from Moz. Our site had jumped in ranking in the four geographic regions we target and we were seeing (more or less) the best results we've ever had. Most of the jumps were only 1 - 4 places but they were for our most competitive keywords. Late this afternoon I did some spot checks on keywords to confirm that we were still holding roughly in the same positions and before I reported this to the wider business. We're not. What's more we have dropped off the first page for some terms and don't seem to be ranked at all for for others. The only keywords we're getting good rankings for are branded search terms. I can only assume this is due to a technical issues over the weekend our developers caused. I'm not completely across this but I at some point our sitemaps stopped working and a huge number of links on the site were broken. Could a massive surge in 404s cause this? I'm checking google analytics and I can't see a drop in organic traffic yet although I don't have the full figures for today. Thanks

Homepage shuffling in the SERP results continously - any thoughts?
We've had some shuffling for a keyword in the SERP results over last few days! Anyone else seeing their rankings bounce all over? It's only affecting one keyword that was previously a stable performer - this has occurred for the last few weeks (with no major changes to the page). Would be keen to hear your thoughts!

Part Number Variations 10-10-55-P or 101055p
I hope I'm not investing too much of the communities time but I diving into saving my site from the Panda or other unknown damage and have issues. My two biggest selling  parts are in a configuration  like 10-10-55-P. They are low searched, maybe 50 people per month worldwide but this sale is crucial to us. The manufacture ( which sells direct but more difficult to deal with, I think you still need to give them your birthday and sex to place an online order) has #1 and 2 rank,  I have 3,4. I have 3000 parts and focused. . The other 5 large competitive distributors have 100,000 to 1,000,000 parts and have more resources.  Sometimes when I test 101055 or 10-10 55( which sometimes is used) I can drop to 7 or 8 and the competitive distributor beats out the manufacturer.  I suspect because they get 1000 times more traffic. Today I still am 3,4 for 101055p, but is there an organic strategy to address dashes and is capitalization import and should it be addressed to insure #3 organic rank?..

Do sites with a small number of content pages get penalized by Google?
If my site has just five content pages, instead of 25 or 50, then will it get penalized by Google for a given moderately competitive keyword?
