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.

Did you try Moz's list of recommended companies ? They are all very good and should fit your needs.

How to stop some continuous attacks on our website
Hi Fellow SEO Experts
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | leadstar0007
We would like to ask for your help in STOPPING some continuous attacks on our website.
It seems that we are constantly needing to Disavow these URL’S like http://www.econsultmgmt.com.my and http://www.unicontmt.com.br as they keep redirecting to our Sitemap. Is there any tool or any clever way to stop these constant and unwanted links to our sitemap please?
We have tried on MULTIPLE occasions to contact them and ask them to remove the content that has the hyperlinks back to our sitemap but without success ☹
Any assistance from our global colleagues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Manish0 -
HELP! How do I stop scraper sites - is there any recourse?
Our site has lots of unique content and photos and it is constantly being scraped and posted on other websites. Most of these are no-name sites that pop up and exist for adwords revenue. Aside from the fact that we don't want our content being copied, this is an SEO nightmare because they often link back to us from pages that are stuffed with keywords and have very low domain authority (it's a form of negative SEO). My question is: Does anyone have experience with fighting this phenonmenon? What have you done that is effective? Does anyone have experience with a service such as http://www.dmca.com/ProtectionPro.aspx ? Does it work/is it worth it? Any input is appreciated!

Website (.BE) showing up in .NL SERPS
Fellow mozzers, we need your help We have a situation where a customer has two websites for each country: flowtracksurf.be → Belgium flowtracksurf.nl → Netherlands They used to have very good keyword rankings in the SERPS in BE & NL. Flowtracksurf.nl had good rankings in Google.nl and Flowtracksurf.be in Google.be.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Jacobe
Recently there has been a change: Flowtracksurf.nl is not showing up in Google.nl anymore. It also seems that all the rankings from flowtracksurf.nl have been switched to flowtracksurf.be. .BE is doing very well, .NL is suffering. Data shows us that .NL : In the first two weeks of december 2014, we see a massive drop in traffic (GA) In that same week(s) we see a drop in search queries (Webmaster Tools) We see the exact opposite in .BE (growing strong in those weeks) When we look at the cache of flowtracksurf.nl we see only reference to flowtracksurf.be. Is that a hint of what was going on? On the same date that we see a massive drop in traffic on .NL, we see a peak in 'indexation' of .BE We see that the MOZ pages crawled dropped in that same week for NL We're also seeing that all the traffic from Google.nl is now going to flowtracksurf.be. Some keywords we were scoring #1-2 for are: surfvakanties, surfvakantie, surfcamp mimizan, surfcamp, frankrijk, surfcamp spanje, surfen frankrijk We just can't figure out the hard evidence in the data.
Can you help us on that?0 -
#! (hashbang) check help needed
Does anybody have experience using hashbang? We tried to use it to solve indexation problem and I'm not fully sure do we use right solution now (developers did it with these FAQ and Guide to Ajax crawling as information source). One of our client has problem, that their e-shop categories, has solution where search engines aren't able to index all products. In this example a category, there is this "Näita kõiki (38)" that shows all category products for users but as I understand search engines aren't able to index it as /et#/activeTab=tab02 because of #. Now there is used #! (hashbang) and it is /et#!/activeTab=tab02. Is this correct solution? Also now example category URL is defferent for better indexation with:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | raido
/et#!/
../et And when tabs "TOP ja uued" and "Näita kõik" where activated/clicked then:
/et#/activeTab=tab01
/et#/activeTab=tab02 I tried to fetch it in Google Webmaster Tools but it seems it didn't work. I would appreciate it if anybody can check this solution?0 -
Ajax website and SEO
Hi all, A client of mine has a website similar to Pintrest. All in Ajax/. So imagine an ajax-grid based animal lover site called domain.com. The domain has three different Categories Cats, Dogs, Mice. When you click on a category, the site doesn't handle the URL and doesn't change the domain So instead of the domain going from domain.com to domain.com/cats, it uses the Ajax script and just shows all the cat pins. and when you click on each pin/post it opens a page such as domain.com/Pin/123/PostTitle It doesn't reference the category. However a page domain.com/cats does exist and you can go there directly. Is this an SEO issue for not grouping all pins under a category? How does Google handle Ajax these days, it use to be real bad but if Pintrest is going so well i'm assuming times have changed? Any other things to be wary of for a grid based/ajax site? I am happy to pay for an hour or two for a more in depth audit/tips if you can feed back on the above. Fairly urgent. Thanks

How does a competing website with clearly black hat style SEO tactics, have a far higher domain authority than our website that only uses legitimate link building tactics?
Through SEO Moz link analysis tools, we looked at a competing websites external followed links and discovered a large number of links going to Blog pages with domain authorities in the 90's (their blog page authorities were between 40 and 60), however the single blog post written by this website was exactly the same in every instance and had been posted in August 2011. Some of these blog sites had 160 or so links linking back to this competing website whose domain authority is 49 while ours is 28, their Moz Trust is 5.43 while ours is 5.18. An example of some of the blogs that link to the competing website are: http://advocacy.mit.edu/coulter/blog/?p=13 http://pest-control-termite-inspection.posterous.com/\ However many of these links are "no follow" and yet still show up on Open Site Explorer as some of this competing websites top linking pages. Admittedly, they have 584 linking root domains while we have only 35, but if most of them are the kind of websites posted above, we don't understand how Google is rewarding them with a higher domain authority. Our website is www.anteater.com.au Are these tactics now the only way to get ahead?

Are Facebook links really helpful?
If they are no follow, how can I benefit? If Google isn't using this data, than why would we bother to LIKE anyone or anybody?
