My Wordpress Organic Blog traffic disappeared and Google is indexing Viagra and Online Med titles for some articles. How to fix that?
-
Hello,
I'm worried that all my organic traffic has disappeared according to Analytics from past friday and now Google is showing results from my title tags in the last days as you can see here: http://goo.gl/QFSgy
Is there any additional resources I can read apart from Google Clean Your site Guidelines here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163634 or the Wordpress FAQ for hacked sites here? http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked
Very much appreciated all of your help!
Regards.

I just added the plugin you recommended. I hope it works. Thanks for the tip http://wordpress.org/plugins/gotmls/

I agree with Streamline. We used Sucuri.net to clean up malware. Worpress sites are great but very buggy. They always get viruses. You have to buy extra protection. Sitelock is another good choice.

I highly recommend using this plugin to scan your site for malware/exploits and automatically fix them for you - http://wordpress.org/plugins/gotmls/
Then once the site is confirmed to be clean, submit your site to Google within GWT to get them to review your site and remove any malware warnings from the SERPs.

How to make google crawl our repository to make our site rank but make sure users dont go to our repository ?
We have a website that has links to documents related to various sectors. But the challenge is we do not have the documents on the website itself and they are linked to our document repository that has been blocked to google. We have put nofollow and noindex to the repository. Since Google can not read those documents, it has resulted in an impact in our SEO ranking. What would be the best way to make Google crawl the PDF documents in the repository at the same time make it invisible the "repo" not appear in the search engines. Would dofollow and noindex sequence work ?

Need Definitive Source on Wordpress SEO
I am a longtime practitioner of classic asp. I build sites with SEO built-in and administer largely to sites I have built. I have, up til now, had a policy of not working (SEO) on Wordpress projects because - I don't presently build Wordpress sites Am unfamiliar with how SEO could be implemented on CMS I have a long time client who wants me to do contract SEO work on various Wordpress sites on his servers. Can someone point me to a definitive source on the latest methods for Wordpress SEO. I am very proficient in SEO with conventional web sites - I just need to know how to implement it in Wordpress. I don't see how plug-ins can implement serious SEO, but my mind is open.

Site for my clients to log in and see their traffic, etc.
I have done a ton of research and I am struggling to find an easy to use, easy to understand site / tool that will allow my clients to log in and see basic information about their website traffic, rankings, referring sites, etc. in an ATTRACTIVE, EASY TO UNDERSTAND layout. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Seomoz (my true favorite) Raven, webceo, and so many others are powerful tools - I don't need that, just looking for an attractive place to log in and view their stats, that's it. Thank you - have a great rest of the week! Matthew

Help Finding Specific SEOMoz Blog Post - Help meh puhleeze
Hi everyone! Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I'm having trouble finding a specific blog post (from the SEOMoz blog), that was pertaining to content writing. I think (but could be wrong), that it was written by Rand, but I'm having the most difficult time finding it. The overall theme of the post was about Writing/Blogging about topics OUTSIDE of whatever your niche is. I didnt bookmark the thread (doh!), but the theme of it was to basically not just write about stuff pertaining to your niche on your blog. but to write about other topics as well (I.E if I have a site about blue widgets, not only writing about blue widgets). Is there anyone that is familiar with the post that I am referring to that could possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks a ton

Forecasting Seasonal Keyword Traffic with Python Script
A few weeks back, I went to a Distilled meetup here in NYC. SEER Interactive's Mark Lavoritano did some cool slides on the seasonality of keywords. Basically, his presentation made the point that you should not only think about which keywords you want to rank for but also WHEN they are most valuable. This made me think...we have a lot of moving parts to our marketing efforts. Emails with interchangeable modules, a homepage with interchangeable links, and other dynamic elements for which we have to decide what themes we want to market for the week. Babies or bikes? Kitchen Gadgets or Wine Glasses? Google Insights for Search is a great tool which allows you to look at keyword traffic year over year. However, for many of the keywords (like the ones mentioned above), on a multi-year timeframe, it can be tough to sift out the specific weeks in which traffic repeatedly peaks year after year. What I really wanted to see was the last 5 years laid on top of each other to find the common peaks. Even better, if I could map 5 years of keyword data to a single row in a spreadsheet and then use conditional formatting to create a colorscale, I could create a sweet forecasting calendar with several keywords and use this to choose the best timing for various marketing campaigns. Here's a link to a screenshot of the calendar I created: forecasting calendar I could have done this in excel, but I've been wanting to try out Python for a while now and decided this was a great time to do it. After some reasearch, I figured out how to import a csv into python and the rest was done with for loops and lists, which is fairly basic python. I've pasted my code below. In a nutshell, the program runs through all 5 years of traffic data and increments a count in a list whenever it sees a peak (according to a threshold called "peakInterestValue" that you set in the code). The output is a list of 52 numbers [0-5] (representing 52 weeks over 5 years). If the value is a 5, it means that all 5 years showed a peak in traffic at that week. If it's a 4, then 4 (out of 5) years showed a peak that week, etc...you can then copy/paste this to a row in an excel sheet with all your keywords, apply a color scale w/ conditional formatting, and boom! you've got a forecasting calendar. This code works on the exact file that Google insights exports so you don't need to format it at all. It's ready to rock. If you want to see the code formatted and cleaned up, check it out here. If you want to see a hot mess, I've also pasted the code below. You can drop it right into a .py file and run it off a cmd prompt but you'll need to install python first: http://www.python.org has installation info and great tutorials as well. Enjoy! import csv """reads a file from google insights""" """Open the last 5 years of data from Google Insights""" anniversarygiftFile2007 = csv.reader(open("anniversarygift2007.csv","r"))anniversarygiftFile2008 = csv.reader(open("anniversarygift2008.csv","r"))anniversarygiftFile2009 = csv.reader(open("anniversarygift2009.csv","r"))anniversarygiftFile2010 = csv.reader(open("anniversarygift2010.csv","r"))anniversarygiftFile2011 = csv.reader(open("anniversarygift2011.csv","r")) """Combines the data into a list""" anniversarygiftFile = [anniversarygiftFile2007,anniversarygiftFile2008,anniversarygiftFile2009, anniversarygiftFile2010,anniversarygiftFile2011] """counters"""i=0j=0 """flags used to initialize lists""" definedFlag=0 definedFlag2=0 for i in range(0,5): j=0 for row in anniversarygiftFile[i]: if j<=4: """skips the first 5 rows""" elif j==5: """initialized the list on the first week of data""" anniversarygift=[row[1]] definedFlag = 1 if(i==4): peakInterestWeeks=[0] else: """appends the list with each row""" anniversarygift.append(row[1]) if(i==4): peakInterestWeeks.append(0) if len(anniversarygift)>=52: print("i = ",i) if (i==0): if(definedFlag==1): anniversarygiftArray = [anniversarygift] definedFlag2 = 1 elif (definedFlag == 1): if(definedFlag2 == 1): anniversarygiftArray.append(anniversarygift) break j=j+1 i=i+1 """ Now all of the data is in python lists""" i=0 j=0 """ Lower peakInterestValue to lower the traffic threshold and discover more peaks """ peakInterestValue=90 """ This is a variable to help you tweak peakInterestValue""" peakInterestCnt = 0 for i in range(0,5): print("i =",i) for j in range (0,51): if int(anniversarygiftArray[i][j])>peakInterestValue: """If keyword interest peaks, peakInterestWeeks[] is incremented""" peakInterestWeeks[j]=+=1 peakInterestCnt +=1 print("Peak interest",peakInterestWeeks)print("Peak Interest Count =",peakInterestCnt) """peakInterestWeeks[] is printed out to a row in an excel file""" c = csv.writer(open("anniversarygift.csv", "w")) c.writerow(peakInterestWeeks)
