Website indexed but not ranking for anything
-
hello everyone,
It seems my website http://www.scribidocampus.com/ is indexed by google but it si not ranking anywhere, even wehn i google scribidocampus.
If i search any of the text on my website in " " no results come up.
can someone tell me the reason?
-
thanks a lot, My team will be working on this and lets hope we do well.

Without seeing the backend of the site and all the collected data, I can only speculate as to potential causes.
If there was a manual penalty, you'd be able to check that in Search Console/Webmaster Tools. Make sure your sitemap is uploaded to search console as well. Make sure there are no errors associated with it. Run a "fetch as" in Search Console to ensure that Google can properly see your homepage and submit to index. Build out the content. Build out the link profile. Determine your core search terms that you would like to be ranking for. Make sure to build out pages associated with those things. If things like the English Writing Course, the Premier League and the Newsletter Publishing are important then make sure they're higher on the page and more noticeable instead of in the footer. The meta keywords tag is not actually important but you do stuff a lot of keywords into it on some pages... consider toning it down a bit. Make sure your meta descriptions are well written and explain what the page is about. Don't just copy & paste a line or two from the paragraph of page content to re-use as a meta description.

Thanks, i will take care of that. can you tell me what other factor could be the reason? as if i search a text in the website in double quote, it is still not coming up on results. might be some penalty?

Your content is _severely _lacking. It appears that you have three real pieces of original content (which are all pretty thin) and then 5 sample blog pages on your site. You can't really expect to be ranking for your content if you've done practically no work on your content. And you don't appear to have a backlink profile. You should really consider getting your name out there and getting some relevant links. These may not be the only reasons but they are contributing factors. Put some time and energy into expanding your content, making your site richer and more informative, and you'll start to see some movement.

Remove those "sample" pages and add more quality content.

Actually, the website is quite old, Domain name is 3 years old, But recently got it redesigned after having downtime of couple fo months.
What should be my steps forward?
-
It looks like it's a new site, and the quality of the site probably isn't helping you, for example: http://www.scribidocampus.com/blog/scribido-sample-blog-four/ I would remove those sample blogs and update it with relevant content.

Canonicalization, does it still index
If I have 2 pages that are identical but on different domains that our team manages, if we place a rel=canonical tag on the page we prefer/should display, will the page that doesn't have the canonical tag still be indexed and show on SERPs?

Will Google crawl and rank our ReactJS website content?
We have 250+ products dynamically inserted and sorted on our site daily (more specifically our homepage... yes, it's a long page). Our dev team would like to explore rendering the page server-side using ReactJS. We currently use a CDN to cache all the content, which of course we would like to continue using. SO... will Google be able to crawl that content? We've read some articles with different ideas (including prerendering): http://andrewhfarmer.com/react-seo/

http://www.seoskeptic.com/json-ld-big-day-at-google/ If we were to only load the schema important to the page (like product title, image, price, description, etc.) from the server and then let the client render the remaining content (comments, suggested products, etc.), would that go against best practices? It seems like that might be seen as showing the googlebot 1 version and showing the site visitor a different (more complete) version.0 -

Sudden drop in rank and OSE index
I had improved the rank of chairmats.net from page 3 to top of page 2 in Google over the course of a few weeks using on-page, content building, and "low-hanging fruit" link building. All the sudden in the last 2 weeks, we have dropped to 22nd, have dropped out of the OSE index (chairmats.net doesn't show up, but some old links to www.chairmats.net show up), and PA is now 1. DA wasn't high before but also dropped a point. I don't know why the sudden shun (I read about an exact keyword match for low quality websites update with Google recently, but this site has been around for awhile, and is a large supplier of chair mats.) I'm working on getting quality links, it seems a little tougher for a supplier company like this. Any suggestions on recovering?

I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
I can't 301 https// to http:// since there are some form pages that need to be https:// The site has 20,000 + pages so individually 301ing each page would be a nightmare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
