My homepage dropped off of Google today? Any ideas?
-
My site, www.leaffilter.com, previously ranked #1 for searches of "leaffilter" and "leaf filter". Today the #1 ranking for "leaffilter" with Google is gone. Well, it's not gone on all internet connection. At home the #1 ranking is in place. At the office computer it is not anywhere near page 1.
I'm testing searches logged in, not logged in, cache and cookies cleared, different browsers.
Other, secondary pages, are appearing on page 1. It looks as if the homepage is just no longer indexed...but not on all internet connection.
Any ideas what is happening? Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips?

I understand what you are saying and I have the same results when I search for it. His home page www.leaffilter.com is not #1 this page is when I search for it. www.leaffilter.com/contact-leaffilter/leaffilter-locations /

Hi
Check your google analytics account, if visits drop therefore you might have lost rankings

Strange. If I search for leaf filter I see you at #1 on my computer and my iphone.
I wonder if someone on your office computer accidentally clicked on "block all results from this website"? It seems to only appear sporadically for me, but occasionally if I go to a site and then go immediately back to the SERPS Google will give me the option to block this site from future searches.
Not sure how to undo it, but if you think that's the case a quick Google search should help you figure it out.

Thanks for checking.
I'm still a little confused as to what might be happening. Attached is a screenshot from a mobile device. Leaffilter.com is not ranking on this connection. And, if I search for "leaffilter.com" a lot of secondary pages are on the SERP, but not the homepage.

I did a quick search on leaffilter, leaf filter and sure enough, you are in 1st place in the SERP with a link to the homepage.
I think you search leaffilter and leaf filter many times on home computer that way at home the #1 ranking is in place.

Positions dropped and do not recover
Hi all, Site: https://www.fascinators.com.au k/w: fascinators (this is the main one I am looking at) About 2 years ago, I redesigned the site. It used to be on first positions in Google Australia. After redesign, positions dropped and never recovered. No matter what I do, I can not get them back. I even involved professional SEO agency for the last 6 month to help build links, but nothing works. (old site used really old non mobile-friendly engine) As far as I know site is technically sound with no issues. In the last few month position for my main keyword 'fascinators' jumps really wildly. From position 9 to not being in Google first 100. And jump can happen overnight. As of today it disappeared from first 100 again. I am really tearing my hair out on what can be wrong. Link building is underway. This is one area I am aware of. Thinking of keyword spamming, i removed lots of 'fascinators' from URL, but that did not seem to help much. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rudolf

Google Webmaster Tools Parameters
We have several large ecommerce websites, and we've added some tracking parameters to GWT for google to ignore. All pages are correctly canonicaled. Google has been ignoring the parameters and the canonicals, and still ranks many parametered pages for us. Has anyone run into this?

Number of images on Google?
Hello here, In the past I was able to find out pretty easily how many images from my website are indexed by Google and inside the Google image search index. But as today looks like Google is not giving you any numbers, it just lists the indexed images. I use the advanced image search, by defining my domain name for the "site or domain" field: http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search and then Google returns all the images coming from my website. Is there any way to know the actual number of images indexed? Any ideas are very welcome! Thank you in advance.

Optimizing the HomePage of a WordPress blog
Dearest SEOmozzers, I am creating WordPress blogs and I would like to know from a WordPress expert how to better optimize the homepage of a site. In particular, I'd like to know how to create an SEO-friendly homepage that I want to optimize for certain keywords. Do you think that it is better to show on the homepage the posts that I write, which change constantly, or a static, well-optimized text that will include the keywords I want to rank for? I have been naively using the changing posts, but after an analysis of the competitors I have noticed that most of them use a static text and show only the most recent post at the bottom of the page. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know the best practice to adopt to optimize the site. Thank you. Sal

Ranking Factors for Google
Yesterday a blog post appeared on SEOMOZ titled 'A Tale Of Two Studies' - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/a-tale-of-two-studies-google-vs-bing-clickthrough-rate It suggested some of the ranking factors Google and Bing take into account when ranking. A few of them I want to talk about: Social Signals, Age of Domain and H1 HTML Tag So I thought age of domain and H1 both had some weight in Google? I guess not! And social signals, now I know it gives some weight but its right up there in the list for both SE's, so should getting likes, tweets, plus1's now be part of my everyday link building?
