Website no longer visible Search Results
-
Overnight my website no longer appears in search engines for the two keywords I use. The website has been nicely climbing up (very steady progress to 42 and 73) the overnight it has vanished off the Radar. I have checked my webmaster account, no messages etc. Please can anyone shed any light on why this has happened? Website is http://www.securityjobsuk.co.uk
Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi,
It is possible that you have had an algorithmic penalty from Google, and just looking at a few of the pages, there are concerns that you should address.
- First - the site looks unfinished with poor coding. For example, on my browser, your menu is all messed up
- Your logo is below the menu and callout box, with the logo space being replaced with a text version
- In your intro text, you have a link that takes you off to another site
- On the http://www.securityjobsuk.co.uk/security-vacancies/ page, there is evidence of slider code visible
- Looking at a few page titles, you appear to be stuffing keywords
- One link on here promising Security Support Officer, takes me to a page with no job
- The homepage mentions the word Security 50 times!
- Internal pages appear to suffer from the same keyword stuffing problems
Basically, lots of very spammy SEO techniques that need to be corrected. I would start by having a read though the MOZ Beginners SEO Guide and take action on lots of problems you have throughout the site.

Are all tabs the result of JS?
Hey all, Bit of a novice here, so bare with me. We have a page that has a lot of content in a tabular format that struggles to rank. I created a similar page, without the tabular format, which vastly outranks it, despite having a miniscule backlink profile in comparison. Now, I've always been under the impression that anything interactive on a website, like tabs, are the result of JS. However, I can't see any JS in the code (but as mentioned, I'm far from an expert). Code below. Description insert copy here, click on [insert anchor text](/media/MODULES AVAILABLE 2017-18.xlsx)

Rel=canonical on Godaddy Website builder
Hey crew! First off this is a last resort asking this question here. Godaddy has not been able to help so I need my Moz Fam on this one. So common problem My crawl report is showing I have duplicate home pages www.answer2cancer.org and www.answer2cancer.org/home.html I understand this is a common issue with apache webservers which is why the wonderful rel=canonical tag was created! I don't want to go through the hassle of a 301 redirect of course for such a simple issue. Now here's the issue. Godaddy website builder does not make any sense to me. In wordpress I could just go add the tag to the head in the back end. But no such thing exist in godaddy. You have to do this weird drag and drop html block and drag it somewhere on the site and plug in the code. I think putting before the code instead of just putting it in there. So I did that but when I publish and inspect in chrome I cannot see the tag in the head! This is confusing I know. the guy at godaddy didn't stand a chance lol. Anyway much love for any replies!

Google displaying "Items 1-9" before the description in the Search Results
We see our pages coming up in Google with the category page/product numbers in front of our descriptions. For example: Items 1 - 24 of 86 (and than the descriptions follows). Our website is magento based. Is there a fix for this that anyone knows of? Is there method of stopping Google from adding this on to the front of our Meta Description?

Do the terms in a website url drive search hits
I've tried to do a search on a few key words that I knew was on my landing page and I couldn't get Google to find it. So I thought maybe I needed to change my url to reflect a few the terms.

Links to Website Author
I'm a website developer, and in the past I have usually added a tiny backlink to the footer of my clients' websites like this: Website Design by MyCompanyName I understand that Google sees this as a low-quality backlink. However, I was wondering if such links can hurt my rankings. Does Penguin sees these links as spam? If so, should I add a rel="nofollow" to the links? Is there anything else I should change? I do not want to remove these links completely because they are good for marketing my business. I just want to minimize any negative SEO impact of the links. I appreciate your input. Thanks.
