I've tried everything, and my blog still falling
-
Hello everyone!
I'm almost desperate, and trying to find a solution to one of my blogs. Below is it URL:
It has more than 3 years, and even so I get just around 700-1000 visitors a day. I have already applied several SEO techniques, tried several SEO plugins, tried to work with keywords, etc, but nothing changes.
I see several other sites and blogs of the same niche (games), with much less content (I have more than 3800 articles, in 3 years), practicing plagiarism, stealing content, etc, and with much more visitors and revenue.
I have never done nothing wrong. Never stole content. I always worked honestly, and always tried to write articles with "something more". I really don't know what happens with XboxPlus.net .
And, how can, for example, Seomoz helps me, here?
I would be very grateful for any help.

There are some good points in the other answers, but honestly do the course.
With all due respect a lot of what the other answers are covering is minor detail compared to the big picture stuff that you are missing. You need to understand that stuff if you want your site to do better. Simply following check lists of technical issues will not get you the big jumps you probably want.
The course will take you through the process. It will help you understand how to identify the keywords that are going to bring you traffic, how to target those keywords effectively, how to spot the sort of issues that others are pointing out and how to build the authority you need to rank for those terms.
I'm not knocking the points others have made. They're all good. However you really need to understand the basics properly and then come back and work through those sorts of points.
The good news is though that if you are getting those traffic numbers from the site in it's current state it has potential. It should be well worth getting this stuff right.

Here are few things that you need to implement –
_Disallow the category pages
Implement Authorship markupAre you doing Link Exchange ?? –

1. Major drop across can be found on those pages
A. where additional content been added B. Low CTR can be a factor C. Excessive/duplicate Tags in Blog Post D. Not modified since long (Drop can be observed in categories-subcategories across all sections which we have not updated since long)
E. Keyword Stuffing -Actions Immediate - 1. Are you using some plugin for link automation? Check if any link through H2/H1 Tag if found disable same link through SMART SEO Plugin of Blog 2. Check all bold/Italicization of keywords. 3.ReWrite URL and 301 For non performing Long URLs? 4. Rewrite all dropped article with greate information spiced with images, graphics, PPT etc. (Visitors engagement) To be implemented through wordpress 1.Add Sub-headers (Category >> Subcategory) For visitor to know where he/she is? 2. Font Size/ Style, shot codes, rich User interface
3. Add elements like Images/ Videos for better use experience and interactivity 4. Implement Canonical tags. Around rss (link:http://www.yoursitename.com/blog/ ) 5. Give special attention to typography, show only 4-5 articles on Home page. Not more than that.6. Use Woothemes for better UI. -
I've only looked briefly and did that through Google translate. However in SEO terms I think that there is a lot of room to improve things.
You might also want to try some different ad positions with your adsense. I suspect that could help with revenue.

Hi Matt,
Thank you. I'll take a look on the "Beginner's Guide". But, after read your post, I am wondering about one of your phrases:
[quote]Looking at that site I would say that you are doing pretty well if you are getting 700-1000 visitors per day. I would have expected that number to be lower.[/quote]
Do not get me wrong, but, means this that the site is bad, poor, or something similar?
Thank you!

Looking at that site I would say that you are doing pretty well if you are getting 700-1000 visitors per day. I would have expected that number to be lower.
You have some real basics missing. Quite a lot of them as well. Rather than rattle off a load of stuff out of context I would say that you need to really understand what SEO entails. One good way of doing that is to work through the whole beginners guide to SEO here on seomoz
That will give you a much better understanding of how search engines can send you more traffic and how you can ensure that your website makes the most of that.
At the end of it I would bet that you would be looking at:
- Starting again with your keyword research
- Restructuring your site to make the most of your keyword research
- Changes to your on page structure
- Ways to get more links
Sorry to just give you a link, but I think that is the best place for you to go next.

How do you run ranks now for clients that aren't in your local area now that Google customizes search results based on location?
How do you run ranks now for clients that aren't in your local area now that Google customizes search results based on location? What tool/service have you found that gives accurate rank results? To me it seems like there is no guaranteed global #1position any more, or is this the situation for only certain types of searches? Likewise how can anyone tool give a global accurate rank score?

SERP Overlay Won't Show Up
I'm using the latest version of Chrome. I'm logged into Moz and the SERP Overlay is turned on. I turn it off and on again, and then it says "loading" beneath all the search results. Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!

Warnings, Notices, and Errors- don't know how to correct these
I have been watching my Notices, Warnings and Errors increase since I added a blog to our WordPress site. Is this effecting our SEO? We now have the following: 2 4XX errors. 1 is for a page that we changed the title and nav for in mid March. And one for a page we removed. The nav on the site is working as far as I can see. This seems like a cache issue, but who knows? 20 warnings for “missing meta description tag”. These are all blog archive and author pages. Some have resulted from pagination and are “Part 2, Part 3, Part 4” etc. Others are the first page for authors. And there is one called “new page” that I can’t locate in our Pages admin and have no idea what it is. 5 warnings for “title element too long”. These are also archive pages that have the blog name and so are pages I can’t access through the admin to control page title plus “part 2’s and so on. 71 Notices for “Rel Cononical”. The rel cononicals are all being generated automatically and are for pages of all sorts. Some are for a content pages within the site, a bunch are blog posts, and archive pages for date, blog category and pagination archive pages 6 are 301’s. These are split between blog pagination, author and a couple of site content pages- contact and portfolio. Can’t imagine why these are here. 8 meta-robot nofollow. These are blog articles but only some of the posts. Don’t know why we are generating this for some and not all. And half of them are for the exact same page so there are really only 4 originals on this list. The others are dupes. 8 Blocked my meta-robots. And are also for the same 4 blog posts but duplicated twice each. We use All in One SEO. There is an option to use noindex for archives, categories that I do not have enabled. And also to autogenerate descriptions which I do not have enabled. I wasn’t concerned about these at first, but I read these (below) questions yesterday, and think I'd better do something as these are mounting up. I’m wondering if I should be asking our team for some code changes but not sure what exactly would be best. http://www.seomoz.org/q/pages-i-dont-want-customers-to-see http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html Our site is http://www.fateyes.com Thanks so much for any assistance on this!

I am trying to find inbound links for one of my site urls. My question is does SEOMoz able to track all internal links as the Open Site Explorer shows 0 internal links?
It shows 0 internal links when I am pretty sure we have multiple internal links.Should we use absolute urls or relative urls for internal links?

How do you guys/gals define a 'row?'
I have a question about calls to the API and how these are measured. I noticed that the URL Metrics calls allow a batch of multiple URLs. We're in a position where we need link data for multiple websites; can we request a single row of data with link information for multiple URLs, or do we need to request a unique row for each URL?

Some thoughts on MozTrust based on OSE Findings X ref'd with SERPS
I've been doing a bit of competitor analysis for a client using OSE. There are a group of about 4 websites (our clients website included) that all dominate the sector with none of the 4 clearly out in front (call this GROUP A). Then there are another group of about 5 websites, which come lower in the SE's consistently than the top 4 (Call this GROUP B) **I've been doing some analysis in OSE: ** ALL GROUP B Websites outrank all of GROUP A websites in the OSE Metrics (Including Trust Rank). I did some analysis on the backlinks in Group A VS Group B Group A - Generally a mixture of ok links from blog posts, sponsorship, and ok directories. Group B - As A, but with fewer numbers of links from quality blogs PLUS A high level of spammy links ( .edu and .gov spam filled pages), very low quality, almost non legible blog posts on MFA sites (think Digital Point sellers). From the above it is clear that the OSE metrics are out of whack with the real SE results. Clearly OSE has a few problems with working out what are spammy links and what are decent. Obviously google also has issues with working this out, so I am not surprised that OSE also does - but that doesn't solve the issue. This is a general discussion - so I would just throw in a few thoughts on how OSE may possibly try are overcome some of these issues : 1/. % Trust Links vs Non trust Links:
Moz Pro | | James77
Add in a metric to Trust Rank where the number of links close to trusted sites are also compared to the number of links not close to trusted sites. If you see a very high ratio of links from sites that are not close to trusted sites, it is a strong indicator of spammy links. 2/. Use seed "Non Trusted" sites to create a negative Trust Rank
Use something like a reverse of the "trusted sites" theory, but taking a load of very clearly spammy / link manipulative sites and work out in terms of links connections how far the site is away from these sites. Thoughts???0 -
What's the best research tool for measuring blogger outreach success?
I'm looking for the best MOZ Pro research tool to track the success of our fledgling blogger outreach/link building efforts. Should we use Open Site Explorer's "Full List of Link Metrics", or is there something better or more granular for counting and analyzing inbound blog links? Thanks!
