My site is not ranking at all.
-
Can anybody check it what is the main culprit behind my website's growth?
-
Thanks for investing your time mate. No, I didn't experience the traffic drop with any algorithm update. As I mentioned, I had shifted my site from .in to .com and also with that, server locations got changed. When I had .in domain, it was ranking and I was quite satisfied with the rank. I was ranking 5 out of 1 articles, but now, It not happens.
I've noindexed those pages, because they were not adding any value to my ranking and site, instead causing the duplicate issue problem.
Do you recommend me changing the current domain name? Any help would be appreciated.
-
I didn't realize that you wanted those pages to be noindexed.
We brought it up because from what we can see, it looks like you only have a few pages indexed.
How many pages does Google Search Console tell you they have indexed?
Sometimes content pruning (deleting or noindexing pages) can be good. But it's also possible that it can hurt you if you've noindexed some pages that were ranking and driving traffic to your site. Not only do you lose the traffic they had but you lose their PageRank value to your site and any internal link value to other pages of your site.
Also, you mention that you want to get your site back on track. When did you see the traffic drop? Was it around the same time as some changes you made to your site? Did it coincide with a major algorithm update?

Before I was changing the domain, I knew the terms So, I redirected it to the current domain and later, removed the old domain permanently. And I don't get this, How come noindex urls affect the Overall SEO?. I'm just confused. I don't want those urls to get indexed, because they were causing the duplicate pages issue. Could you clarify that why noindex tags can affect the indexable urls?.
-
Well your biggest problem is that fact that the bulk of your site is noindexed.
You should run your site through ScreamingFrog to find out which of your pages are noindexed and fix that.
I manually clicked through a few dozen pages and found that the following pages are all noindexed:
- https://www.10stuffs.com/technews
- https://www.10stuffs.com/product-cat/tablets/
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brands
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brand/dell/

Also did you redirect your old domain name to your current domain name?

I've designed it, but not the whole site. And you'r seeing the handful of posts indexed on google because, I've recently submitted some posts to noindex for some reason. I don't think by searching for term like site:10stuffs.com will give the accurate results, that's because, when typing a url separately, results are the same.
There is no duplicate content, no copied and also I don't see any technical issue. The reason could be the hosting servers, as I had different locations earlier and also I had changed my domain name once.
Other than that, I don't think there is any problem. What do you think and please do suggest me what to do to get my website back on track.
My articles used to be indexed instantly but all of a sudden, they are taking days to appear in the search result.
I write news based contents so, fast indexing the is the matter of some concern to me.

Running a quick "site:" search on your website, I can see that there are a handful of pages that are indexed. I can also see that you only have 2 posts up and they were published very recently. Additionally, a few elements on the menu are not linked to any pages. So I'm wondering if the site is relatively new or has been redesigned recently?

Our web site lost ranking on google a couple of years ago. We have done lots of work on it but still can not improve our search ranking. Can anyone give us some advise
A couple of years ago the ranking on our site dropped over night. I believe someone working here at the time purchased links about that time. We have been doing lots of work on the site since then to improve it. We can not get our rankings back up on google searches. Can anyone give us some advise about what to do or where to go for some help that we can trust.

Merging Sites: Will redirecting the old homepage to an internal page on the new site cause issues?
I've ended up with two sites which have similar content (but not duplicate) and target similar keywords, rather than trying to maintain two sites I would like to merge the sites together. The old site is more of a traditional niche site and targets a particular set of keywords on its homepage, the new site is more of an authority site with a magazine type homepage and targets the same set of keywords from an internal page. My question is: Should I redirect the old site's homepage to the relevant internal page on the new website...

...or should I redirect the old site's homepage to the new site's homepage? (the old site's homepage backlinks are a mixture of partial match keyword anchor text, naked URLs and branded anchor text) I am in two minds (a & b!) (a) Redirecting to the internal page would be great for ranking as there are some decent backlinks and the content is similar (b) But usually when you do a 301 redirect the homepage usually directs to the new homepage and some of the old site's links are related to the domain rather than the keyword (e.g. http://www.site.com) and some people will be looking for the site's homepage. What do you think? Your help is much appreciated (and hope this makes sense...!)0 -
REPOST: How much does "overall site semantic theme" influence rankings?
Hello everyone on the new cool Moz! I've optimized sites before that are dedicated to 1, 2 or 3 products and or services. These sites inherently talk about one main thing - so the semantics of the content across the whole site reflect this. I get these ranked well on a local level. Now, take an e-commerce site - which I am working on - 2000 products, all of which are quite varied - cookware, diningware, art, decor, outdoor, appliances... there is a lot of different semantics throughout the site's different pages. Does this influence the ranking possibilities? Your opinion and time is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How can I rank a national site for local terms
Hi All I have a website that covers all parts of the UK and I wish to be found for terms such as "car for sale London" "car for sale Manchester" and so on. In the past I have created separate landing pages for each town and city but with the quality score of a page becoming more of a ranking factor it is hard to make 300 + town pages interesting and useful. Is it best practice to do what I am doing and improve the quality of each of the pages or would I be better off removing the old pages and using some other technique to rank for the local searches? Thanks for your help
