Getting different search queries in Google Webmaster
-
Hi All,
I have a website Afrofood.com. In it's Google webmaster search queries i have more than 90 Queries, but not a single query is related with this site. All queries are from different site or subject, they have no any relation with my site.
Can any one please tell me how to correct this...
Site is Afrofood.com related with African foods, recipes, spices and all that. But showing search queries are:

Hi,
You're site is not the only one - there seem quite a bit sites which redirect to these fake e-shops. Most likely the cause of this problem is a vulnerability issue with the slider on your site - check these links: http://wptavern.com/100000-wordpress-sites-compromised-using-the-slider-revolution-security-vulnerability & http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised
I noticed you already installed sitelock which is a good thing. You should however also block access to pages like yourdomain/wp-content/themes/maya/inc/admin_scripts/ . Also check that Wordpress is up-to-date (as well as the other plugins you are using), change all your passwords on the server (also change your email passwords). If needed, get professional assistance to help you out of this mess, especially if you're not technically skilled.
It's quite important that you now delete all the external content on your site. Don't postpone this - the brand owner could file a spam report, or even take legal actions (one of the url's your site is redirecting to seems to be a phishing site of canada-goose.com - http://www.jackenoutletde.org/login.html
This case is quite similar to this one http://moz.com/community/q/chinese-site-ranking-for-our-brand-name-possible-hack - but the roles are different - this question is from a site owner which didn't rank for it's own brand name because of hacking issues (which would be Canada Goose in your case)
rgds,
Dirk
PS you'll find a Belgian IP address in your sitelock logs - that's me, not the hacker

If you do revert to a backup, make SURE you update everything bnefore making the site live.
With wordpress, you must keep it up to date, that thing is a security minefield.

If you need help fixing that, Sucuri should be able to help. They will fix it for a one time fee, and if it re-occurs they will fix it again any time in the next 12 months for no cost. I think it costs about $99 or something, but I haven't specifically checked that.
Alternatively, if you are good at keeping backups and haven't made any changes recently you could try reverting to an older version. Quite often with these hacks, even if you delete the offending files, if you don't deal with the root cause it will just happen again.

U got hacked - someone created a dummy page on your website and created links to it. You need to secure your wordpress (but first you need to clean it or do a fresh install).

as german it was pretty easy for me to find you under these german words, google is sending me there: afrofood.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/XHwco/ But the side ist redirecting me to: www.fundraising-kooperative.de/canada-goose-c-741/
BUT only in SERPS - open that url in your browser and you will see the problem: http://afrofood.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/XHwco/
into your 2014 uploads folder is a complete german website uploaded and indexed.

How do I get my sitelinks to appear
Hi I have recently launched a new site and I was hoping for destination sitelinks to appear under my site as they do for my competitors' sites. I have submitted a sitemap but is there anything else I can do to expedite this process or guarantee the sitelinks appearing? Thanks

Sudden disappearance from google organic ranking
I have been ranked in top 5 for all relevant search terms for years. I have been in business for 25 years and am modestly speaking the best in our field. The name of my company is "Alaska Yacht Charters" and suddenly I have disappeared from Google search. Google "alaska yacht charters" and I am nowhere to be found. This all occured within days of my suspending my adwords account which I felt I didn't need because of my great organic ranking. What has happened?Geoff Wilson www.alaskanyachtcharters.com

Only homepage in Google
Hello SEOmozzers, A colleague of mine started up a site here: www.wikiboedel.nl. Sadly only the homepage is indexed in Google. It's a wordpress install. Robots.txt seems fine, all pages are on index and follow. Can't see why only the home is indexed in Google. Do you know whats going wrong? Please tell me. Tank you.

Different Categories, Same Meta Description?
I've heard that having duplicate meta descriptions is bad for SEO and can even be the cause of penalties. However, a duplicate meta description would make sense for different categories on many sites. So I'm wondering what the best solution is for a case like this? One of my sites has around 150 topics, and each topic page is exactly the same, aside from including only things that are related to that specific topic. So why would I want to create 150 different meta descriptions? Not only is it time consuming, and nearly impossible to create 150 unique descriptions for the same type of content, but it also serves no purpose for visitors coming from the search engines. A logical approach would be to use the same meta description and just switch out the topics in the description... but then all of those descriptions would be 95% the same - and I imagine Google might see that as spam. So... suggestions?

Why does Google show old title?
I made some changes to title tags on a clients site over a month ago. Google has since crawled all the pages that the changes were made to. Here's the problem. For some of the pages, the old title is still showing in search results. Why does Google do this? 2) What can I do about it?

Different page for each product colour?
Hi Guys, I've just read an ecommerce article that suggests it's a good idea to have a different page for each colour that the product comes in. However surely this will mean duplicate content? What are your thoughts? Have you put this tactic into motion and how did it go? Thanks, Dan
