My site ranking has dropped in recent 2 weeks ?
-
I have a quick question to ask you guys,
I have my site (www.webuycarstoday.co.uk) It used to rank very well for all my target keywords. But recently all keywords dropped massively. I can't seems to find a good reason of this drop. We have not change anything which may have caused such drop.
Any suggestion or advice to get into the problem.I would appreciate your kind responses.

This could be because good quality, do-follow links were deleted?
alternatively, it could be a manual penalty, or it could just be a Google algorithm update that is rolling out,
you may notice less of a change in terms of where your business ranks in a few weeks.
We own a business selling Bristol garden offices.
It moved to page 2 and then back to page one of Google during a major Google update, yet during that time, we made no changes to the organic SEO.

Although your site appears to load fine, Pingdom reported a load time of 6.41S. You have a number of redirect chains, scripts that could be combined, large request size, etc.
Most of these things are easy to fix. There are many services out there where you can get a decent report. The report will give you a good list of fixes to make. I use https://tools.pingdom.com
I've seen page load time (especially after recent site changes) adversely affect site ranking more than any other single cause.

This can be a penalty. Yur backlink profile is far from the cleanest I've seen.
48000 backlinks and a trust score of 6, not the best sign.For instance,
You have 2000 backlinks from a directory which also links to gambling websites,
700 backlinks from a website which triggers privacy error in chrome
500 backlinks from a Spanish website
300 backlinks from a French website
200 backlinks from a Japanese website — all these websites have nothing to do with carsYou have a lot of links with optimized anchors.
I would start digging in this direction to make sure that you haven't been penalized

Site dropped from SERP
Hello, I've been ranking a site for the last 5 months with good success, ranking on the first page for a high traffic keyword. In the beginning of September however, my site completely dropped out of the SERPs for several of those keywords yet my site was still indexed and there was no penalty applied to my site via search console. I would assume this maybe because of the update during the time.My site came back again a week later and it was ranking much higher on the first page (#2). Today, I just checked the SERPs and my site is now gone again. It was there this morning but now as of two hours ago it is gone, as well as one of my main competitors. My site is still indexed and no penalties via search console. Does anyone know what causes these types of issues? Im assuming my site will come back in a week or so with hopefully the same or better ranking, but when I have disruptions like this it really hurts my organic traffic. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Redirect effecting ranking?
I manage the SEO for several different regions which are also based on the same site e.g. example.com/au, example.com/us The /us site has pretty good rankings and changes I'm making to the site are having an impact. The /au site has really bad rankings, even though much of the content is the same. (The /uk site is also awful but we had an issue with 4,500 duplicate pages which were only resolved last week). Crawl diagnostics are only showing 1 major error for a 404 response, I'm receiving a domain authority of 43 and A grade page ranking for some of our targeted keywords. I could believe that this isn't necessarily going to get us a top 10 rating but I would have thought we would be in the top 50, especially for branded keywords. Could the lack of ranking be to do with how our domain redirects? If you go to example.com.au you are taken to the home page rather than being redirected to example.com/au. Once you head to an internal page the URL changes to example.com/au/page

Why does my site rank so badly
its my turn to ask the interminable question why does my site rank so badly? site is: marriagerecords.org.uk. it was #1 for 'marriage records' on google for about 6 months. then it was 5th to 10th for about 2 months. now it is nowhere for this phrase and anything else, none of the pages I have written rank for anything. I have spent hours upon hours researching original content and I have got some great backlinks from sites like wrexham.gov.uk and somerset.gov.uk (some dont show in opensiteexplorer yet). im guessing im over-optimizing something but i'd love some concrete fixes if anyone could suggest any. thanks, tom

Any good ideas on how to quickly rank a new site for a new product laucnh?
Hi, I'm thinking of examples like the wii u - when it was announced all wii u sites were new. what ways could one get an edge quickly when competing against other sites without a great deal of authority on this 'new' keyword? obvious ones are social bookmarking, what else could easily be used to quickly (<24hrs) at least help a bit in non competitive kws?
