Google ranking downgraded
-
On Sept 29th our website 'keyword' rankings who totally destroy. We were always #1 to #2 for these keywords
1. listing presentation
2. real estate presentationOur website is: http://www.agentpresentations.com
We asked Google through Webmaster Tools to reconsider the site and they replied back saying nothing was wrong.
We run Google Adwords and we contacted them and they looked at the keywords and sent screenshots to us showing the ranking we still there.
But they are not... as proven in Webmaster tools.
So Adwords told us to ask Webmaster Tools to reconsider the site again.
Nothing yet...
What do you suggest?

Thank you for your input. We remain lost on all of this. I guess the only option we have is to shut the domain name down, get a new one, and start over. It is a shame as we have been using that domain for years and have enjoyed page 1 rankings for years. Our organic traffic has dropped from about 1000 per day to as little as 1... yes 1.
As have asked SEO companies, staff, even Adwords who did go out of their way to see what is happening with no solution.
I guess Google is not trustworthy... and a company ought not to waste 1 red cent on SEO as in a twinkling of an eye... they, Google, can toss you under the bus.

I see you as #1 for buyers presentation

Another thing to check - Have you been indirectly affected by changes in your backlink profile. Have sites in your backlink profile been penalised or lost value?

We lost all rankings... simply vanished. We tracked our own rankings internally for years. From inside our Webmaster Tools... traffic is down 97%... we fell off the cliff on Sept 29.

Hi Randy - some questions...
What changed? We know there was an EMD update and a Panda update on or around the date you specified - could this potentially be to blame?
Where are you ranking - just how far have you dropped?
How many keywords are affected - are you still ranking for any keywords? Can you see any connections in the keywords that are affected.
How have the SERPS changed? Is it a case of your site just dropping out of the SERPS or has there been a greater shake up?
How have you been tracking your ranking position? Are you using a rank tracking tool or have you been doing it manually?
What impact has this change had on your traffic? (particularly organic search traffic)

We have been #1 and #2 for over 5 years. We have many keywords and all of them have been #1 to #10... such as Buyers Presentation... always #1. Now not there at all. So we are lost as to why this has happened and it seems no one can give us a reason.
And no I am not confused on organic and Adwords

Your post leads me to believe you are getting organic search rankings confused with paid search (Google Adwords). Are you saying your campaign position in paid search has lost position? As Zachary pointed out, it seems unlikely you were ranking so high in organic search results for the keywords you posted.

I am looking at your competetors for these keywords, and i'm suprised your ranked in the top position in the first place. If you look at the top results for these two keywords your competetors are microsoft, slideshare, and youtube which all have a Domain Authority of 80+ and a Page Authority of 50+. Your homepage has a Domain Authority of 27 and a Page Authority of 33 with only 50 links to your site as a whole.
A reconsideration request wouldn't help you because there is nothing that you did in violation with their webmaster guidelines. if you type into the google searchbar site:agentpresentations.com, you will see that google has your site in their index 86 pages.
Remember that adwords and organic search are two separate things, and I don't understand why adwords would recommend a reconsideration request.
I would personally focus on creating more content and outrech to gain more links to your site.
Hope this helps

Will Google crawl and rank our ReactJS website content?
We have 250+ products dynamically inserted and sorted on our site daily (more specifically our homepage... yes, it's a long page). Our dev team would like to explore rendering the page server-side using ReactJS. We currently use a CDN to cache all the content, which of course we would like to continue using. SO... will Google be able to crawl that content? We've read some articles with different ideas (including prerendering): http://andrewhfarmer.com/react-seo/

http://www.seoskeptic.com/json-ld-big-day-at-google/ If we were to only load the schema important to the page (like product title, image, price, description, etc.) from the server and then let the client render the remaining content (comments, suggested products, etc.), would that go against best practices? It seems like that might be seen as showing the googlebot 1 version and showing the site visitor a different (more complete) version.0 -

Page disappeared from Google index. Google cache shows page is being redirected.
My URL is: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/converse Hi. The week before last, my top Converse page went missing from the Google index. When I "fetch as Googlebot" I am able to get the page and "submit" it to the index. I have done this several times and still cannot get the page to show up. When I look at the Google cache of the page, it comes up with a different page. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/converse shows: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/pop-in-olivia-kim Back story: As far as I know we have never redirected the Converse page to the Pop-In page. However the reverse may be true. We ran a Converse based Pop-In campaign but that used the Converse page and not the regular Pop-In page. Though the page comes back with a 200 status, it looks like Google thinks the page is being redirected. We were ranking #4 for "converse" - monthly searches = 550,000. My SEO traffic for the page has tanked since it has gone missing. Any help would be much appreciated. Stephan

Sudden drop in website ranking
Since past 2 week my website www.micromaxtablet.in is experiencing sudden drops in the site ranking. I can understand this regression in the site ranking is not because of Goggle Panda update, and their is some other reason. Kindly let me know what could be the other possibilities, and plz also suggest how to get it fixed. Keyword for which the site had the best rankings (in top 3) was "micromax tablet". Now it shows on the second page in the google search and to make it worse, it's losing its position almost every second day.

Google Custom Site Search
I am an admin on a google custom site search account. I am also the owner of a verified webmaster tools account for the same site. The Custom Search control panel will not let me add URL's or a Site map for on demand indexing, but says "you must submit a sitemap of your own verified sites". Has anyone else has this issue? Does the Owner of the custom search account have to be the owner of the webmaster account, or can the logged in admin be? Thanks

Google Off/On Tags
I came across this article about telling google not to crawl a portion of a webpage, but I never hear anyone in the SEO community talk about them. http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/08/23/tell-google-to-not-index-certain-parts-of-your-page/ Does anyone use these and find them to be effective? If not, how do you suggest noindexing/canonicalizing a portion of a page to avoid duplicate content that shows up on multiple pages?
