Page Rank gone - technical difficulty?
-
Hi all,
after coming back from the holidays, I noticed that our PR (6 on the homepage) has vanished into "Unranked". All other sites are also "unranked". I tested other domains - PR still there, so the problem does not lie in the PR checker.
There are no drops in traffic, rankings, no messages in the GWMT, the same numer of indexed pages, inbound links okay (all natural)...
As you see, I checked everything I thought could be a hint to a solution, but found nothing... This goes on for the 3rd day now (after my holidays, maybe even longer).
Could there be a technical problem causing this "drop"?
Our website: http://www.access.de/
I am thankful for all hints/suggestions...
Thanx...

Hi Moosa,
I guess you were right. Teh PR cam back friday evening. Seemed to be an update problem....

If you didn’t noticed any change in traffic, ranking or sales then there is no way a big problem I don’t think it’s some kind of penalty or you should consider changing your back link profile…. I guess it’s an update problem…
Check your DA and see if you loss DA from the past and if not then things are not dangerous for you…

Hi Dorothea,
we didn`t buy or sell links. Indeed, there has been no linkbuilding at all, the backlink profile is really natural - this is no joke!!
By "all other sites" I mean other pages on our domain (categoreis with PR of 5 etc..).
In Webmaster Tools there is nothing suspicious: no warning, lo lost indexed pages, the same number of backlinks....
And honestly, I dont think that our PR goes down from 6 to unranked because of a weird domain lining to us. We have really strong (natural) backlinks from german universities etc. that should "protect" us.
But I think you are right, I am waiting some more days to see if anything is changing...

Greetings,
I checked your website with a few tools and the PR is indeed N/A. PR penalties are usually related to selling/buying suspicious links. You should take a look at your backlinking structure and see if there's any weird domain that links to you. By "all other sites" do you refer to websites that link directly to access.de? If these sites lost their PR too, they might be the source of the penalties.
Did you add your website on Google Webmaster Tools? I'd wait a few more days to see if there's any change to your PR or if Google sends you a notification for unnatural links.

Customer Reviews on Product Page / Pagination / Crawl 3 review pages only
Hi experts, I present customer feedback, reviews basically, on my website for the products that are sold. And with this comes the ability to read reviews and obviously with pagination to display the available reviews. Now I want users to be able to flick through and read the reviews to help them satisfy whatever curiosity they have. My only thinking is that the page that contains the reviews, with each click of the pagination will present roughly the same content. The only thing that changes is the title tags which will contain the number in the H1 to display the page number. I'm thinking this could be duplication but i have yet to be notified by Google in my Search console... Should i block crawlers from crawling beyond page 3 of reviews? Thanks

Advice on whether we 301 redirect a page or update existing page?
Hi guys, any advice would be really appreciated. We have an existing page that ranks well for 'red widgets'. The page isn't monetised right now, but we're bringing in a new product onto our site that we optimised for 'blue widgets'. Unfortunately, not enough research was done for this page and we've now realised that consumers actually search for 'red widgets' when looking for the product we're creating as 'blue widgets'. The problem with this is that the 'red widgets' page is in a completely different category of our site than what it needs to be (it needs to be with 'blue widgets'). So, my question is; Should we do a 301 redirect from our 'red-widgets' page to our 'blue-widgets' page which we want to update and optimise the content on there for 'red-widgets'. Or, should we update the existing red-widgets page to have the right products and content on there, even thought it is in the wrong place of our site and users could get confused as to why they are there. If we do a 301 redirect to our new page, will we lose our rankings and have to start again, or is there a better way around this? Thanks! Dave

Root domain ranks higher than sub pages
Our website is over 10 years old and has been very successful with google. We rank highly for our keywords, but recently a strange thing has happend. Google has indexed a video from our front page (which no longer exists) and shows this listing instead of the sub pages. This means the listing is irrelevant to the search term. Term is "Junior Cricket Bats"

Too many on page links
Hello I have about 800 warnings with this. Example of one url with this problem is: http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price I was checking and I think all links are important. But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings. Any other idea?

Can I use canonical tags to merge property map pages and availability pages to their counterpart overview pages?
I have a property website, for each property are 4-5 tabs each with their own URL, these pages include the overview page which is content rich, and auxilliary pages such as maps, availability, can I use a canonical tag to merge the tabs with very little content to their corresponding overview page which is content rich? I.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview This page has tabs for map, town info, availability which all have their own url i.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/map

www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/availability
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/towninfo Because these auxilary pages do not contain much content can I place a canonical tag in them pointing back to the content rich overview page at www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview?0 -
