Looking for help with my website
-
Hi does any one know of a good seo company that will get results, i.e., fix site issues and get the site improving in the serps.
-
you're off on a tangent here....let's not do that...my comments referred to the 'why' not the cause....
go to the 'recommended' list and pick a few to vet....then get a deal and they will undoubtedly do that complete web audit first to see where you are and why...
all else is rhetoric here....time to get the tasks started, eh!

Hi. So do mean that my site is coming up in Google.ca as a link farm.. what does this mean.. Please can you provide more info.

Hi guys, sorry confused, what is g.ca

You do know that the Pigeon updates back last summer were just rolled out in other google farms too, right?
So if you're looking say at rankings via g.ca - that might be the culprit....

Thanks BCutrer,
The disavow was done last year, and is updated. We did not see much upturn with the latest updates.
We have not done any link building for years (may be this can be a problem)
The above link was done over two years ago by bad seo company, this is why we are looking for some help
-
The disavow can take some time and may not see results until the next refresh of the algorithm that was causing the issue. We had a number of clients that came to us with a drop in traffic and rankings over the last year. We did extensive back link removal and disavowing. We saw some limited improvements but it wasn't until the November refresh that all of them "got out of jail" and returned to the first page for their keywords.
My other thought for you is that while you said you disavowed bad links, I ran your site through ahrefs and it's showing a large spike of new back links over the last month. Most of them are pretty spammy looking. http://authority-domain.com/computers_and_internet/calendar/society/dating_relationships/?p=8
If you are already dealing with a bad link profile I'd stay clear from directory link building.

Hi BCutrer, Thanks for your question, well is has been a long ongoing problem with the site, drop in traffic, then an upturn and recently another drop. So not sure if it is a technical issues or a penalty. We have not receive a manual webspam, but was told to disavow bad links which we did, but still no upturn in traffic from Google, bing or yahoo.
So looking to see if anyone has used a firm that can analyse issues to see exactly why the sites performance has dropped.. A clear understanding of why sites performance drops and not guess work.
-
You might want to elaborate on the type of issue. Is it a penalty or has it been affected by a recent change in Google's algorithm?
-
Thanks Pixelbypixel. I was wondering if anyone has had website/seo issues and could recommend a company that really help them.

Acquired a company, what should be done with their website?
Hi, I work for a furniture company that essentially purchased another furniture store some time back a few years ago. However, this furniture store that was acquired had a website. The website has no existing pages anymore, only the homepage. The homepage has a message on it describing how it's been taken over and then links to our website. The spam score for the website is 8. I was wondering if there was something else we should do instead of the link, whether that be a straight 301 redirect or if we should have the link at all considering its score. I can provide more information and links if needed. Thanks in advance, Adam

Is it safe to link my websites together?
Hi Everyone, I have 10 websites which are all of good standing and related. My visitors would benefit of knowing about the other websites but I don't want to trigger a google penalty by linking them all together. Ideally I'd also like to pass on importance through the links as well. How would you proceed in this situation? Advice would be greatly appreciated, Peter.

60 countries, 1 website. How to develop this?
I've been asked to rank the website of an international association under the same keywords but in multiple languages (they rank very highly for English speaking countries), however they only have the one website with 1 .com domain. Question: Is the better approach to translate the site in multiple languages and then allow people to select the language they desire? OR Buy ccTLD and run the site multiple times in different languages as separate entities?

Website change of address
Hi Everyone, I apologize if the answer to this questions is obvious, but I wanted some input on how changing our web address of our site will affect our SERP. We are looking to change our website address from a.com to b.com due to rebranding of our company (primarly to expand our product line as our current url and company name are restricting). I understand that this can be done using 301 direct and via webmaster tools with google. My question is how does this work exactly? Will our old website address show in SERP rankings, and when a user clicks on the listing are they redirected to our new address? With regards to building new links from press releases etc, do we have links point to our new web address or the old one in order to increase SERP? Does google see our old address and new address as the same website and therefor it does not matter where inbound links point to and both will increase our ranking positions? It took 6 years of in house seo to get our website to rank on the first page of all the major search engines for our keywords, so we am being very cautious before we do anything. Thanks everyone for your input, it is greatly appreciated 🙂

Optimising My Website Link Containers
Hi, I'm looking at my links containers and trying to optimise them. I would be greatful if anyone can give me some feedback on my plan for perfect optimaisation. My links are constructed as follows: I have a two states:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | James77
1/. A Non Hover state which contains an Image and Text
2/. A Hover state which contains a bit more text - I do this as containing full text on the non hover state would not be good for users and would look ugly as well. Here's an example block of the HTML - as you can see from the URL, its quite a deep page level. From the URL and Alt / Titles the Page I am Linking to is about: "The Royal Hotel Accommodation New York Holidays". I Just a bit confused on how I should apply ALT and Title (Titles in particular) attributes given the nested DiV's etc - I can apply these to parent level, or apply all levels, or apply them to a mix. Also is there any obvious thinks you can think of I am missing that may help onsite SEO? Thanks in Advance CURRENT UNOPTIMISED CODE:
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
MY OPTIMISED CODE (Adding Title and Alt attributes):
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
