Www.oru.edu & oru.edu
-
Everyplace I check, the pagerank for both of those domains is either 0 or NA. However on this site oru.edu actually has a pagerank and this is the only source I can find for that. The sub www.oru.edu still has a zero on this site. A historical checker has oru.edu a N/A ranking just a few days ago and in June.

When I try that tool it completely malfunctions for me....doesn't do anything.
I think it's a moot point though.
If you previously had pagerank and now you've gone down to either 0 or N/A then there's a good chance you've got some kind of penalty.
Do you have any indication of whether traffic has dropped? If you don't have analytics you can possibly get information from your hosting company and server logs. Pagerank (PR) really doesn't mean much...but a loss of Pagerank plus a loss of traffic makes some type of penalty a big possibility.
The question is whether it is a manual penalty or an algorithmic one like Penguin or Panda.
I really would advise setting up webmaster tools today. You can either wait and see if a warning pops up or if you feel that traffic has dropped you could actually file a reconsideration request. Google will respond back within 3-14 days and let you know whether you actually do have a penalty. If so, then the nature of the message should help us know what the problem is. If not, then we go looking at traffic data to determine whether this is Penguin or Panda.
OR..............it's possible there is something else such as a robots.txt problem or something else going on. But really, without some type of traffic information and without knowing if there is a warning in webmaster tools it's going to be hard to diagnose the problem.

Unfortunately I don't have access to that.
This tool here is what's throwing me off with the http://oru.edu http://www.seomoz.org/toolbox/pagerank, even though I'm sure it's a 0 or N/A, I can't figure out why this one tool comes up with a different response than everyplace else.

I see you've fixed your div issues - it looks much better now!
oru.edu redirects to www.oru.edu (as it should) for me and I see both as Pagerank N/A.
I'm not sure if it was established or not on your previous message, but do you have webmaster tools set up, and if so, do you have any warnings in your messages there?

Internal Links & Possible Duplicate Content
Hello, I have a website which from February 6 is keep losing positions. I have not received any manual actions in the Search Console. However I have read the following article a few weeks ago and it look a lot with my case: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-cut-down-on-similar-content-pages-25223.html I noticed that google has remove from indexing 44 out of the 182 pages of my website. The pages that have been removed can be considered as similar like the website that is mentioned in the article above. The problem is that there are about 100 pages that are similar to these. It is about pages that describe the cabins of various cruise ships, that contain one picture and one sentence of max 10 words. So, in terms of humans this is not duplicate content but what about the engine, having in mind that sometimes that little sentence can be the same? And let’s say that I remove all these pages and present the cabin details in one page, instead of 15 for example, dynamically and that reduces that size of the website from 180 pages to 50 or so, how will this affect the SEO concerning the internal links issue? Thank you for your help.

A Sitemap Web page & A Sitemap in htaccess - will a website be penalised for having both?
Hi I have a sitemap url already generated by SEO Yoast in the htaccess file, and I have submitted that to the search engines. I'd already created a sitemap web page on the website, also as a helpful aid for users to see a list of all page urls. Is this a problem and could this scenario create duplicate issues or any problems with search engines? Thanks.

Nov 19th & 20th Update?
Did anyone see any big changes around Nov 19th & 20th? Mozcast had some high temps around there. If you saw any big changes in organic search, any ideas WTH that was all about? Any guesses? One site I work with took about a 15% hit and has since sort of skidded sideways.

Add a non www binding.
Hello, I will ask something that is probably been asked before, but I cannot find the answer, so excuse me. I have a website, www.example.com, and I want to add a binding to my server so when someone also hits example.com (without www in front) to be landed normally to my site. The question is if this will affect the seo of the site in any way - duplicate content etc? Thank you!

Strange referral site: www.cyberonlineclicking.com would like some insights from the community
Hello Mozzers! I've noticed that our site has been receiving a significant amount of referral traffic from a rather suspect looking site: www.cyberonlineclicking.com Can anyone shed any light on this beast. Stopped receiving traffic around 11th November, but was getting 20K sessions over a 4 week period. The traffic was of poor quality, but would be good to know how or why they were linking to my site (fejobs dot com). Looks very suspicious. Thanks Justin

Image Optimization & Duplicate Content Issues
Hello Everyone, I have a new site that we're building which will incorporate some product thumbnail images cut and pasted from other sites and I would like some advice on how to properly manage those images on our site. Here's one sample scenario from the new website: We're building furniture and the client has the option of selecting 50 plastic laminate finish options from the Formica company. We'll cut and paste those 50 thumbnails of the various plastic laminate finishes and incorporate them into our site. Rather than sending our website visitors over to the Formica site, we want them to stay put on our site, and select the finishes from our pages. The borrowed thumbnail images will not represent the majority of the site's content and we have plenty of our own images and original content. As it does not make sense for us to order 50 samples from Formica & photograph them ourselves, what is the best way to handle to issue? Thanks in advance, Scott
