Malware ranking drops
-
Hi,
One of our sites got hit with malware in November.
We cleaned it up and sent a reconsideration request and no malware warnings are in WMT anymore.
We still haven't seen an improvement in rankings even though people say it can take up to 90days?
Organic traffic is down 40% and still dropping.
Any advice?
Thanks

Yep, we have thought about that but we don't think that is an issue as there weren't any major updates around the time it should have been starting to recover.

have you considered whether this could be a separate issue? maybe your site was hit by the Google penguin update for example.

Wordpress versus html and google ranking
My current SEO has always recommended that I take my site to wordpress. I really don't want to move to wordpress. I don't like it... I just like writing code in raw html, css, and script. I feel like I have more control that way. Wordpress just seems like a platform for blogs (I have my blog in wordpress). My question is, do wordpress websites typically rank better? Is there benefit to moving to it?

Some of these sites, in some cases are ranking higher than me in Google results. What can I do?

A keyword suddenly dropping 25 positions in Gooogle
Hello, One of my clients have a new website (just 3 months old) and for some keywords it's already working quite well (some of them already on first page for organic search results in Google). But suddenly one of the keywords (just one) dropped 25 positions from one day to another, while the rest of them are ok and even getting better. What may be happening here? The only thing I have done for this keyword different to the rest is that I have created a few internal links (just 7 o 😎 using the keyword. The site is big, with around 60 pages including a blog. I know that I'm not being very explicit with the information I'm providing... Thank you in advance for your help!
