Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords
-
Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?
-
Have you tried changing the Meta Titles, that way google will update the content or the visibility of the website according to the right keyword. Did it numerous times with the site(sure.bet) I was working at...
-
@BlueprintMarketing I found out today my website: targetedwebtraffic.com has issue with google web master tool, I deleted and added again and works again really good.
-
@BlueprintMarketing This is cool, I have issue with my website exactly like that and so many time google pick differnet keywords or part of keywords, This is help me understand what exactly I should do.

@blueprintmarketing thanks Tom for the reply - I appreciate it!

There are one of two possible reasons for this to be happening. Your site was hacked, and keywords were injected into the HTML creating this problem.
Or, your content needs to be improved, and you need to create a semantic content network with Query and Document Templates.it's either malware or
You have to create higher-quality content than the other guy.This is a list of what needs to be done to improve content drastically.
How to exceed quality thresholds?
To exceed quality thresholds, implement the methodologies below.-
Use factual sentence structures. (X is known for Y → X does Y)
-
Use research and university studies to prove the point. (X provides Y → According to X
University research from Z Department, on C Date, the P provides Y) -
Be concise, do not use fluff in the sentence. (X is the most common Y → X is Y with D%)
*Include branded images with a unique composition.
-
list item Have all the EXIF data and licenses of the images.
-
Do not break the context across different paragraphs.
-
Optimize discourse integration.
-
Opt for the question and answer format.
-
Do not distance the question from the answer.
-
Expand the evidence with variations.
-
Do not break the information graph with complicated transitions. Follow a logical order in the declarations.
-
Use shorter sentences as much as possible.
-
Decrease the count of contextless words in the document.
-
If a word doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, delete it.
-
Put distance between the anchor texts and the internal links.
-
Give more information per web page, per section, per paragraph, and sentence.
-
Create a proper context vector from H1 to the last heading of the document.
-
Focus on query semantics with uncertain inference.
-
Always give consistent declarations and do not change opinion, or statements, from web page to web page.
-
Use a consistent style across the documents to show the brand identity of the document.
-
Do not have any E-A-T negativity, have news about the brand with a physical address and facility.
-
Be reviewed by the competitors or industry enthusiasts.
-
Increase the "relative quality difference" between the source's current and previous state to trigger a re-ranking.
-
Include the highest quality documents as links on the homepage, so they are visible to crawlers as early as earlier.
-
Have unique n-grams and phrase combinations to show the originality of the document.
-
Include multiple examples, data points, data sets, and percentages for each information point.
-
Include more entities, and attribute values, as long as they are relevant to the macro context.
-
Include a single macro context for every web page.
-
Complete a single topic with every detail, even if it doesn't appear in the queries and the competitor documents.
-
Reformat the document in an infographic, audio, or video to create a better web surface coverage.
-
Use the internal links to cover the same seed query's subqueries with variations of the phrase taxonomies.
-
Use fewer links per document while adding more information.
-
Use the FAQ and article structured data to consistently communicate with the search engine from every level and for every data extraction algorithm.
-
Have a concrete authorship authority for your own topic.
-
Do not promote the products while giving health information.
-
Use branded CTAs by differentiating them from the main context and structure of the document.
-
Refresh at least 30% of the source by increasing the relative difference. (Main matter is explained in the full version of the SEO Case Study.)

Query on Ranking Expectations and Search Intent Alignment
I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about a week since we made these changes, and we’re happy to report that our optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. I did create these pages with our intended keywords in mind. However, two questions about the page optimization tool: Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful, we’re curious about how they factor in search intent. How does Moz Pro’s advice take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting?

these sites where you have to pay to generate backlinks?
After opening a site here, we created a post containing a backlink and discovered a company with a top exposure. After opening the site in the same way, I created a post that included a backlink, but after a few days my account was suspended. By any chance, are these sites where you have to pay to generate backlinks? Of course, each site has a different policy, but my account is suspended every time.

Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading
Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

Unsolved Keyword Rank History chart has missing data for periods of time
Hello, When I look at the rank history for a particular keyword, there are missing gaps in the data. For example, the keyword was fluctuating around rank 10-20 from Jan 2022 to July 2022. Then suddenly the line on the graph disappears. It starts tracking again in Oct 2022 starting at rank 16. It almost appears as if Moz lost track of the keyword for some time. Other tracked keywords did not experience the same issue during this time. Then as a result, Moz reporting will say the tracked keyword moved up in ranking 40+. What is happening here? I'm unsure how to explain this activity to my clients.

Clever Way To Increase Organic Search Traffic To News/Magazine Websites
Hi fellow Mozzers... I've been asked to increase organic search (SEO) traffic to a news/magazine style website. All the website consists of is regular news articles within a specific niche. It is also already listed on Google News. I know we can improve any on-page tactics, such as optimising the article webpages, internal linking, improving the navigation and adding breadcrumbs etc. But what about off-page? They want us to work on backlinks to the site, which we can do for the homepage to improve the domain authority. But there's no point on increasing backlinks to the individual news articles, as they have a very short life span, and are not evergreen. Perhaps it's a good idea to increase backlinks to the category pages? But there are no real keyword opportunites on these pages. Can anyone recommend a clever SEO strategy to increase SEO traffic to a news style website? The site can be found at https://tinyurl.com/2p9arrwz Best wishes. Many thanks for any replies in advance 🙂 Lee.

Unsolved Ranking not collecting keywords
Hi, we recently migrated our blog to be on the same domain as our main website. It's been about a month. I have continued adding more keywords we'd like to track to our Ranking list on Moz. But it's been a week and the keywords are still not collecting. Is this something we need to fix on our end, or is there something going on with Moz? keyword ranking issues.png

Google Search Console - Excluded Pages and Multiple Properties
I have used Moz to identify keywords that are ideal for my website and then I optimized different pages for those keywords, but unfortunately rankings for some of the pages have declined. Since I am working with an ecommerce site, I read that having a lot of Excluded pages on the Google Search Console was to be expected so I initially ignored them. However, some of the pages I was trying to optimize are listed there, especially under the 'Crawled - currently not indexed' and the 'Discovered - currently not indexed' sections. I have read this page (link: https://moz.com/blog/crawled-currently-not-indexed-coverage-status ) and plan on focusing on Steps 5 & 7, but wanted to ask if anyone else has had experience with these issues. Also, does anyone know if having multiple properties (https vs http, www vs no www) can negatively affect a site? For example, could a sitemap from one property overwrite another? Would removing one property from the Console have any negative impact on the site? I plan on asking these questions on a Google forum, but I wanted to add it to this post in case anyone here had any insights. Thank you very much for your time,
