Www.partybox.co.uk - Why cannot improve the position for "party supplies"
-
About 4 Months ago I submitted a Disavow file to Google for www.partybox.co.uk which seemed to have improved the position across many terms. However the main term "party supplies" I cannot get to rank any higher than page 6 in the UK.
I have no penalties in webmaster tools. Should I see if I can collect anymore links that could be holding the website back for ranking for party supplies or what should i be looking to do ?
The website ranks well for other terms that the home page is optimised for such as party stuff but not for party supplies
any advice would be great
thanks

Thanks

Hi Adam
There could be a number of factors at play here that Google, predictably and unhelpfully, is deliberately ambiguous about. There's evidence to suggest that there are individual keyword penalties and individual page penalties that can be placed on your website which can take a while to expire or lift. Similarly, the penguin part of the algorithm may have penalised your site for that term, in which case you would need to see the algorithm refresh (which should be happening soon, according to reports) in order to see your rankings return for that page. And finally because of the links that you have disavowed, there might not be many links to help power your return for that keyword position altogether (although your other rankings might prove this to be false).
I'm afraid a lot of this is guesswork, but there are steps you can take to be proactive and to see if you can recover rankings for that term. One option would be to optimise that term on a different page altogether - can you see an increase in rankings if you do this? If yes, it might indicate a page penalty. If no, it might still be a keyword penalty/penguin penalty yet to expire.
And finally, like you say, you may be able to find more links that need to be removed/disavowed in order to satisfy the algorithm. I'm very encouraged that you have disavowed some links and seen an increase already, so perhaps a deeper search will yield further results. If you have exhausted this avenue and still see no improvement, I would experiment with trying to rank that term on another page on your website, or perhaps even a sub-domain.
I hope this helps.

How to improve my DA number?
My website’s ranking, content as well as data are very good, but the DA number is low. Is this normal? Can someone tell me how MOZ evaluate a website's domain authority? Or what kind of adjustment can improve the DA ranking? How often does MOZ adjust a website's DA?

Greetings! Actually, got an doubt on linking to external site. The thing, i have working for roof marketers site. They have covered roof products. Each of the products have a page along with major keyword. Actually, i do link from other pages[internally]. Meaning,if i see any main keywords in different page then will link that to corresponding page/product[internally].This is what i am doing to get page rank. Now, my doubt. Some of the pages are having link with main keywords which directs to the third party site those who are really producing the products. But, i remove the third party-link which has with main keywords. Since already the site/my client site having pages for that main keywords. But client really want that link. meaning the links which they have given to direct to third party[product producer] site. So what should i do at this case. Can i just past RAW link like [http://www.thirdpartysite.com] or what do i do. But my client wants that link to be in content area. Hope you would understand my long explanation and case Please help us. Thank you

Buon giorno from 10 degrees C wetherby UK
Knowing that pointing links to your website with only your targeted term is toxic how on earth do you defend against a third party site pointing a link to your site using the very term you dont want to over do. Put another way... imagine you have a site ranking well for say target term "cordless drills". You then notice multiple sites who you have zero control over has pointed links to your site using that target term. So my question is... "How do you block an incoming link if the site administaror doesnt head your cries to take out the targeted pharse in the link" Any insights welcome 🙂

Bloggers "no_follow"
Hi Guy's, We have been sending bloggers products to review and in return we ask for a link back to our website to the relevant product. As I now understand it, Google is no longer giving this any weight & bloggers are being advised to use the "no follow" tag. So have I understood the new rules correctly? If so is it worth us continuing to send bloggers products to review? Thanks Daniel

Link credit www vs non-www?
I have noticed that when I run the open explorer on my website that I get a different list of linking domains depending on if the back link used www or not. I always ask and specify to use the non-www but many people do not pay a lot of attention to that? I have set up 301 from www to the non-www as the non-www is my primary URL. How do i get credits for the 50+ that are pointing to the www?

Ranking dropped by 7 positions for many keywords
Hey, Since yesterday my ranking dropped by in average 7 positions for most keywords. iIm not 100% sure whats the matter. I rank under the top3 for a quite comptetitive keyword since several months. During the last 4 weeks it wasn't that stady (between 2 - 4) because the competition is using an aggressiv link building method.

I'm adding constantly new content and the link building is also quite natural. Maybe I linked the same sites from some of my blogs too often... and Google may see it as a "link network". I experience the same for two of those sites. Maybe I should remove those links? Any suggestions? Thanks!0
