Google ranking downgraded
-
On Sept 29th our website 'keyword' rankings who totally destroy. We were always #1 to #2 for these keywords
1. listing presentation
2. real estate presentationOur website is: http://www.agentpresentations.com
We asked Google through Webmaster Tools to reconsider the site and they replied back saying nothing was wrong.
We run Google Adwords and we contacted them and they looked at the keywords and sent screenshots to us showing the ranking we still there.
But they are not... as proven in Webmaster tools.
So Adwords told us to ask Webmaster Tools to reconsider the site again.
Nothing yet...
What do you suggest?

Thank you for your input. We remain lost on all of this. I guess the only option we have is to shut the domain name down, get a new one, and start over. It is a shame as we have been using that domain for years and have enjoyed page 1 rankings for years. Our organic traffic has dropped from about 1000 per day to as little as 1... yes 1.
As have asked SEO companies, staff, even Adwords who did go out of their way to see what is happening with no solution.
I guess Google is not trustworthy... and a company ought not to waste 1 red cent on SEO as in a twinkling of an eye... they, Google, can toss you under the bus.

I see you as #1 for buyers presentation

Another thing to check - Have you been indirectly affected by changes in your backlink profile. Have sites in your backlink profile been penalised or lost value?

We lost all rankings... simply vanished. We tracked our own rankings internally for years. From inside our Webmaster Tools... traffic is down 97%... we fell off the cliff on Sept 29.

Hi Randy - some questions...
What changed? We know there was an EMD update and a Panda update on or around the date you specified - could this potentially be to blame?
Where are you ranking - just how far have you dropped?
How many keywords are affected - are you still ranking for any keywords? Can you see any connections in the keywords that are affected.
How have the SERPS changed? Is it a case of your site just dropping out of the SERPS or has there been a greater shake up?
How have you been tracking your ranking position? Are you using a rank tracking tool or have you been doing it manually?
What impact has this change had on your traffic? (particularly organic search traffic)

We have been #1 and #2 for over 5 years. We have many keywords and all of them have been #1 to #10... such as Buyers Presentation... always #1. Now not there at all. So we are lost as to why this has happened and it seems no one can give us a reason.
And no I am not confused on organic and Adwords

Your post leads me to believe you are getting organic search rankings confused with paid search (Google Adwords). Are you saying your campaign position in paid search has lost position? As Zachary pointed out, it seems unlikely you were ranking so high in organic search results for the keywords you posted.

I am looking at your competetors for these keywords, and i'm suprised your ranked in the top position in the first place. If you look at the top results for these two keywords your competetors are microsoft, slideshare, and youtube which all have a Domain Authority of 80+ and a Page Authority of 50+. Your homepage has a Domain Authority of 27 and a Page Authority of 33 with only 50 links to your site as a whole.
A reconsideration request wouldn't help you because there is nothing that you did in violation with their webmaster guidelines. if you type into the google searchbar site:agentpresentations.com, you will see that google has your site in their index 86 pages.
Remember that adwords and organic search are two separate things, and I don't understand why adwords would recommend a reconsideration request.
I would personally focus on creating more content and outrech to gain more links to your site.
Hope this helps

Google Not Picking Up Posts
I am trying to work out why from March 4th Google is not seeing my posts. Our google impressions have dropped from 8,000 to 40. If you put in the full article name with speach marks it does not find it, and instead shows the home page in google. We have not had any warnings. We did have work done on our site but nothing else i could think of to cause this. Can anyone let me know what may have caused this. All articles are original

Google not detecting Hreflang
Hey everybody, We recently migrated our .co.uk to .com/en. Google for some reason is saying that the .com/en version has no hfrelang tags - even though they are clearly there and have had the same implementation as other language versions of the website. We also did a previous migration 6 months ago for the german version of our website and no hreflang problems there. We add our hreflang tags to our sitemap - which you can find here:

Google + and Google Knoladge Graph
I am trying to get things to match up for the company brand websearch and the Google + page and we have had it for years now The knowledge graph on Google is showing the map, address and name (shown in attached image), but is not linked to a G+ page, as when i click the "Are you the business owner?" its is trying to make me create a new G+ business page. Anyone have any ideas on this? Also does the wiki name have to be exact for it to show? As for phone number would that be coming from the DNS record as that is nowhere in the markup rich snippet or normal markup Thanks in advance LC9cWdG

Google Indexing - what did I missed??
Hello, all SEOers~ I just renewed my web site about 3 weeks ago, and in order to preserve SEO values as much as possible, I did 301 redirect, XML Sitemap and so on for minimize the possible data losses. But the problem is that about week later from site renewal, my team some how made mistake and removed all 301 redirects. So now my old site URLs are all gone from Google Indexing and my new site is not getting any index from Google. My traffic and rankings are also gone....OMG I checked Google Webmaster Tool, but it didn't say any special message other than Google bot founds increase of 404 error which is obvious. Also I used "fetch as google bot" from webmaster tool to increase chance to index but it seems like not working much. I am re-doing 301 redirect within today, but I am not sure it means anything anymore. Any advise or opinion?? Thanks in advance~!

Google Links
I am assuming that the list presented by Google Webmaster tools (TRAFFIC | Links To Your Site) is the one that will actually be used by Google for indexing ? There seem to be quite a few links that there that should not be there. ie Assumed NOFOLLOW links. Am I working under an incorrect assumption that all links in webmaster tools are actually followed ?

Incredible rank variations!
Hello, I recently received a project that has incredible SERP variation - one month in the top - next month not even in 100. I tried fixing some problems, I also found out the website owners were changing their content - taking their offers down, and so on, and I thought that was the main reason the SERP variate so often. Now I discovered a page that wasn't changed - meaning it's place in the menu and dropped down from the 4'th page to ..i have no idea where it is. The page is: www.filadelfiaturism.ro/oferte-Cazare-Romania/116/oferte-1.html - I looked for the exact title and it didn't ranked at all. Could someone give me some advice?
