Why HTML entities gets crawled as content keywords in Google search console?
-
My Google search console shows HTML parameters such as div, class, img, src, gif, align as content keywords, but why google crawls HTML parameters as keywords? because of this, I would be losing traffic for my on-page content keywords.
Please let me know how to solve this.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi Jenifer,
This is an interesting one and I honestly can't figure out what's going on here. Could there be some section(s) of the site that have been obscured that maybe I can't see but Google is picking up?
There are quite a few problems I found in a quick skim of the HTML which might be the problem but honestly this is grasping at straws. It's something I would definitely recommend fixing for separate reasons. See if it makes any difference to this problem but I doubt it will.
An example of what I've noticed:
_widht="100%">
This report from W3C highlights a bunch of others, though not all of them. This report is mostly a red flag that the HTML could do with some attention to tidy up and get more functional._

Hi Jenifer,
Very hard to say without being able to take a look at the site. If you're comfortable dropping a link here I can take a closer look for you?

Errors In Search Console
Hi All, I am hoping someone might be able to help with this. Last week one of my sites dropped from mid first day to bottom of page 1. We had not been link building as such and it only seems to of affected a single search term and the ranking page (which happens to be the home page). When I was going through everything I went to search console and in crawl errors there are 2 errors that showed up as detected 3 days before the drop. These are: wp-admin/admin-ajax.php showing as response code 400 and also xmlrpc.php showing as response code 405 robots.txt is as follows: user-agent: * disallow: /wp-admin/ allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php Any help with what is wrong here and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks

My keyword ranking suddenly went down in google.
Hi, Need urgently help, one of our website http://www.bannerbuzz.com keywords ranking is down suddenly since 6-11-2012, even we don't have done any changes on the website & we were on top on many keywords. We have done only one change recently is we have moved our website from shared server to dedicated server on last 21st October & we can see some traffic fluctuation after to redirecting from shared server to dedicated server, also website load time has been increase in Google Analytic, so it that reason to get rank down suddenly?, because all keywords has been down. We have also some affiliate sites like bannerbuzz.ca, bannerbuzz.co.uk & bannerbuzz.com.au which design and coding structure is as same as bannerbuzz.com, so is that a problem (Duplication issue)? We have tried to find out the solution for the same, but we didn't get any proper reason to get rank down suddenly. Can it happened due to dedicated server which we have moved recently or Google has changed anything in algorithm? Can we put website in Google reconsideration to know proper reason about the website? Following are the keywords on which we loose the ranking. Banners
