Google Finds New Zealand Websites
-
Ok my VPS is in America and all my websites with .co.nz have been found by google but luggagenz.com doesn't come up...
I then realised that all my websites are classed as american... umm how do I change this without moving my vps?

The geotargeting in WMT should take care of it, but also make sure you include your local address on the site with microformatting, google map(s) if applicable and the country name listed globally like in the footer if possible, as additional indicators.

Hi Michael,
If you don't want to move VPS then simply you can change your target country to NZ in webmaster tool so Google can recognize that your site is target for NZ . So for that you no need to change your hosting server because many people use .com extensions but they set their target country as UK if they want to rank in UK.

Hi Michael,
When I check google.co.nz the website luggagenz.com shows up.
When the extension is .co.nz the sites will be classed by google as NZ. Checkout webmastertools --> Configuration --> Settings --> Geographic target

What crawler do you recommend for finding orphaned pages on a website?
Is there a crawler that you guys recommend for finding all pages, including orphaned pages on a website? A data export is not feasible. I saw a question from back in 2013 and was wondering if anything has changed since then in regards to crawling orphaned pages. Do most enterprise systems already have this built into their crawler? Or is it best to get a crawler like Xenu or Screaming Frog or Deepcrawl?

Homepage is deindexed in Google
We recently noticed that our primary page was de-indexed in Google. When looking in google search console there are no manual actions taken. We did add a few new banners to the site but I have no idea why this would have negatively affected that site. I did add a new page called https://enleaf.com/company/testimonials/ that had some duplicate testimonials that were also on the home page but have since removed that. Not sure where to go from here.

How to find out if I have been penalized?
I have launched a new website beginning January this year and have seen slowly more and more traffic coming from google to the website until the 20th of March where suddenly there are no more visitors from the google search engine. The only traffic left is from google images, social networks or other search engines. Without visitors from google search this reduces our overall traffic by ~66%. I can't easily find anymore our website in the search results of google by using terms which we usually ranked quite well. Nevertheless, the website is still indexed as I can find it using the "site:" search query. In google webmaster tools there are no messages and we have only been doing a bit of link building on website and blog directories (nothing excessive and nothing paid neither). Is there any way to find out if google penalized my website? I guess it has... and what would be the best thing to do right now? The website is hellasholiday (dot) com Thanks in advance for your idea and suggestions

Changing to a new Google Analytics Profile - Will I lose my history?
Hello, I have a new client and due to issues with the way the original Google Analytics account was set up, the owner won't make me an admin. So, I'm forced to create a new GA profile. I'm about to update my Campaign, but wonder if the data SEOMoz has accumulated over the last few weeks will disappear, or if it will just look forward with the new GA account? Any advice is most appreciated. ~Robin
