Am I missing an issue on my website?
-
Are there any glaring issues that I am missing with my site? I am building links, and growing the profile but had seen a drop in rankings a couple of months ago. Is this do to a site issue or am I just missing something?
Any help would be great.

A Screaming Frog crawl of your website shows a LOT of parameters. If you don't handle these correctly, you run into duplicate content issues:
- http://www.wallybuysell.com/listing/edmonton/kennedale-industrial/e1019740-12907-53-street
- http://www.wallybuysell.com/listing/edmonton/kennedale-industrial/e1019740-12907-53-street**?&template=bare&printable=1**
- http://www.wallybuysell.com/listing/edmonton/kennedale-industrial/e1019740-12907-53-street**?search_id=f424dd32d939e3b87b76ec872b6c19e3**
I would suggest claiming your site in Webmasters Tools if you haven't and then setting your parameters correctly. You could also block unnecessarily indexed content in robots.txt but WMT is slightly better because it gives you more exact control, directly in Google.

A Google Update by the name of Hummingbird came out and has been moving it's way across sites. This one isn't meant to penalize like the Penguin and Panda updates but rather change how Google displays results. Double check all your keywords and see which ones declined in traffic. Then do a search and test to see where you rank and if you dropped from when you notice a decline in traffic.

In additional to Federico's comments....
You might like to review the Moz guide for SEO 101 and double check that you have implemented everything correctly.
Then I'd start on the keyword targets as there doesn't appear to be a clear keyword theme and the ones you are using won't do much good as they appear spammy. Here is an example:
- In my opinion title tags aren't crafted to best practice. This page (http://www.wallybuysell.com/buying_a_property.php) has a title tag of "Edmonton Homes for Sale |Homes for sale | houses for sale | Edmonton". This page is not about 'homes for sale' nor 'houses for sale', it's about the purchasing process. Your branding at the end misses the opportunity to give context. A better title tag would be "Home Purchasing Process for House Buyers - Edmonton Property".
I would also suggest getting Google Webmaster Tools. It will help you to investigate any indexing issue your site might have that could be affecting rankings.
Good luck.

Hey Christopher,
OSE only reports 4 incoming links, that not even near to what you will need to rank for the terms you are probably targeting. The competition in the real estate business is fierce,
Anyway, there are a few things that may help that you can do now:
- Move the blog to a subfolder instead of a subdomain, That makes that any link you earn on to the blog will directly affect the other areas of your site.
- Improve your Blog. There's nothing social about it now, you MUST enter the social world, and the best way to achieve that with your site is via your Blog. Start sharing what you write, start creating discussion, engagement. If no one shares your posts, how come others will be able to find them? We live in a social world, we read what others read (usually we don't "search" for posts, they are posted in front of our eyes by our own friends and influences). Take advantage of that.
- Don't take this the wrong way, but I would probably think about redesigning the site, it looks old, outdated. You probably need more images, a wider site, better and less cluttered blog, etc.
Those are just a few enhancements I can suggest...
Hope that helps!

Phone: NUMBER I've tried to put it inside the head, body & footer of the HTML code. I want my website to show up properly through Google Structured Data Testing Tool however, I don't want the text to show up on my website not stylized. It sticks out like a soar thumb no matter where I incorporate it. My questions are; Should I even bother with Schema.org? And, is there a way to incorporate it into my website so it does not show up and Google can still pull it up? Thanks ahead of time for all of the awesome responses! B/R Will H.0 -

Crawl diagnostic issue?
I'am sorry if my English isn't very good, but this is my problem at the moment: On two of my campagnes I get a weird error on Moz Analytics: 605 Page Banned by robots.txt, X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header, or Meta Robots Tag Moz Analytics points to an url that starts with: http:/**/None/**www.????.com. We don't understand how Moz indexed this non-existing page that starts with None? And how can we solve this error? I hope that someone can help me.

Does anyone else have issues with atomysolutions.com?
Nearly all of my domains in webmaster tools show thousands of links to me from atomysolutions.com. Problem is only a couple links show up to them in OSE so can't learn much there. I try to access their site but every page I do I get a 403 forbidden error. All I can gather is they are some kind of health and beauty thing. I did a site search in Google and looked at the cached result of the first page but it took me to sexyshoes.co.uk or something. I honestly cannot figure out. OSE shows them as one of my linking domains, but I can't see any of the pages linking to me. I need to know if this is a spammy site that I need to disavow. I have no idea how or why they link to me. Any insight from any Mozzers is GREATLY appreciated! 🙂

Google indexing issue?
Hey Guys, After a lot of hard work, we finally fixed the problem on our site that didn't seem to show Meta Descriptions in Google, as well as "noindex, follow" on tags. Here's my question: In our source code, I am seeing both Meta descriptions on pages, and posts, as well as noindex, follow on tag pages, however, they are still showing the old results and tags are also still showing in Google search after about 36 hours. Is it just a matter of time now or is something else wrong?

The missing link?
Hello and Welcome Moz friends! Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem. On my website I've optimized our content to match the keywords I have selected for the site. I constantly am Re-writing articles, reading SEOMoz on tips and tricks how to make link juice flow. Yet only one of my keywords ranks decently, the rest never show up. I have the hardest time getting traffic to my site, and sales after that. Maybe I am implementing something incorrectly or there is something I am not doing. www.FrontlineMobility.com If you have any tips or anything to give me I would gladly accept it, any criticism is also appreciated. Thank you Friends, hopefully you can help me.
