Algorithm Question
-
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why my site and a competitors site literally trade places in the SERPS every week?
My site has a boatload of content with an active blog with a lot of links versus a competitor that has virtually no links, limited content, 404 errors on the site.
The links I have are all natural links with the exception of directories like JoeAnt.
The only thing their site has is Domain Age where as mines is 4 months old.
Any insight?

My site has over 1000 Links which is confirmed with google but for some reason doesn't show here. I was going to ask that question next about why SEO moz doesn't show that I have links. Yes it's www.bronxpad.com. The other site is Bronx agent dot com. My main keyword they don't even register on which is "Bronx homes for sale " but my other keyword the are 2 spots above me " Bronx homes" how are they doing this? Thanks for your help.

To be honest, without knowing the URL of your site and the URL of your competition site it is pretty much impossible to say. It would need some in-depth research. It may well have something to do with your domain age.
What you are experiencing is possibly something called "Google Dance". It happens while Google's algorithm is trying to figure out the best place for you.

Firstly what website are you talking about? is it http://www.bronxpad.com/ (on your profile) if you you don't appear to have any links?
What keywords are you trying to rank for?

Covid19 algorithm update
So I've felt a rather large cliff dive on my major keywords but minor keywords are doing well. I've been told about a COVID19 update. Does anyone in here have any pointers or knowledge about this? I've dropped around 9 places and more importantly off the first page for my important keywords

This might be a silly question...
I have 14,000 pages on my website, but when I do a site:domain.com search on google, it shows around 55,000. I first thought.."hmm, maybe it is including subdomains". So I tried site:www.domain.com and now it shows 35,000. That still is more than double the pages I have. Any ideas why? When you filter a google search using "site", isn't it meant to pick up just that site's pages? *P.S I tried using the SEOquake add-on to download search results as a CSV file to review, but the add-on only downloads the first 100 search results 😞

Google Site Links question
Are Google site links only ever shown on the top website? Or is it possible for certain queries for the site in position #2 or #3 or something to have site links but the #1 position not have them? If there are any guides, tips or write ups regarding site links and their behavior and optimization please share! Thanks.

When did the New Google Algorithm Come into Force in the UK
On March 3rd, the hits on my UK site crashed to 40% of the previous number. I am guessing it may be down to the google algorithm change:- http://wisestartupblog.com/seo/google-algorithm-change-february-2011-losers-winners/5081 However, I am aware this happened on 25th Feb in the US. Do you know when it happened in the UK. Could it have suddenly started affecting me on March 3?
