My sincerest recommendation is to sit down with the Beginner's Guide to SEO and read it while examining your site. It is a relatively short guide which is exceptionally helpful.
When you are finished, run through your site again this time with Google's Guidelines.
These steps will help your site's rankings improve.

Thanks Ryan,
I really appreciate the inputs. I will try to correct these problems as soon as possible.
Please keep the suggestions coming... Thanks a lot....

I would suggest there is a Panda problem with your site. You probably worked hard on the site so prepare yourself for a bit of tough love here.
The articles are absolutely spammed with your keyword.
Ensure each article uses the keyword at least once. Two to three times is great. Beyond that is completely unnecessary. Back down to only using the keyword as appropriate.
The first snippet on your home page is for a "Britney Spears Sweet Dreams" article. The snippet is only 120 words yet you repeat "Britney Spears Sweet Dreams" three times, and throw in "Sweet Dreams" a fourth time. When I click through to the actual article, it is 183 words which contains the "Sweet Dreams" phrase 8 times. It is far too spammy.
Another opportunity to improve the site is removing your footer. You have three columns of links. Perhaps they can be moved up to the sidebar. Footer links are not used frequently by your site visitors and their links are considered as lower value.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks, I have modified the thread and asked for members if they could review my website which is homeescapade.com

You are welcome to share your URL and request feedback. I would suggest doing it as a new Q&A but either way works.

Hi Ryan,
You have been a great help and inspiration to me here at Seomoz. Thank you for all the valuable answers and insights that you provide.
Is it okay if I ask the great people here at Seomoz to evaluate my website so that I may do the necessary changes to recover from google panda or site penalty?
Thanks in advance...

The last confirmed Google update was on Nov 3rd which changed rules related to query "freshness". No announcement has been made related to an update today.
On any given day various sites drop in rankings due to a variety of factors. It could be related to one of the hundreds of unnamed changes Google makes to it's ranking algorithm each year, or it could be due to other reasons.

I am still learning as much as I can about Panda myself, and I find it interesting and I will be researching more myself.

Redirecting 2 established websites to 1 new one.
I have 2 websites that I've built up for a few years decent DA. I'm thinking of making one new website and directing the two websites to it. Is Google going to find that suspicious, or will the new site benefit from the DA from both?

If Fetch As Google can render website, it should be appear on SERP ?
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for helping me. I have a Reactjs application which has been made by Create-React-App that is zero configuration. Also I connect it using Axios to the API using Codeigniter(PHP). Before using Reactjs, this website was at the top Google's SERPs for specific keywords. After Using Reactjs and some changes in URLs with no redirection in htaccess or something else, I lost my search engine visibility! I guess it should be caused by Google penalties! I tried using "react-snap", "react-snapshot" and so forth for prerendering but there are so many problem with them. Also I tried using Prerender.io and unfortunately my host provider didn't help me to config the shared host! Finally I found a great article that my website eventually display in Rendering box of Fetch As Google. But still in Fetching box, the dynamic content didn't display. But I can see my entire website in both "This is how Googlebot saw the page" and "This is how a visitor to your website would have seen the page" for all pages without any problem. If Fetch As Google can render the entire of the website, is it possible to index my pages after a while and it would be appear on Google's SERP? mokaab_serp.png

Why do Local "5 pack" results vary between showing Google+, Google+ and website address
I had a client ask me a good question. When they pull up a search result they show up at the top but only with a link to their G+ page. Other competitors show their web address and G+ page. Why are these results different in the same search group? Is there a way to ensure the web address shows up?

Indexing a several millions pages new website
Hello everyone, I am currently working for a huge classified website who will be released in France in September 2013. The website will have up to 10 millions pages. I know the indexing of a website of such size should be done step by step and not in only one time to avoid a long sandbox risk and to have more control about it. Do you guys have any recommandations or good practices for such a task ? Maybe some personal experience you might have had ? The website will cover about 300 jobs : In all region (= 300 * 22 pages) In all departments (= 300 * 101 pages) In all cities (= 300 * 37 000 pages) Do you think it would be wiser to index couple of jobs by couple of jobs (for instance 10 jobs every week) or to index with levels of pages (for exemple, 1st step with jobs in region, 2nd step with jobs in departements, etc.) ? More generally speaking, how would you do in order to avoid penalties from Google and to index the whole site as fast as possible ? One more specification : we'll rely on a (big ?) press followup and on a linking job that still has to be determined yet. Thanks for your help ! Best Regards, Raphael
