Google SEO - Where have I disappeared to?
-
Okay, so first off Google, I hate you.
Before I signed up for SEOMoz, my website was hitting page 9 and page 10 for some ultra difficult keywords. After spending a month using Hubspot and SEOMoz, I finally made it on to page 2 of google, for said 'impossible to rank high' keywords, which I was super happy with.
But last week, I login to find that I have disappeared off the top 100 pages of Google for about 100 of my top keywords!!!!
What the hell did I do wrong? I tried to please Google, but my website is still indexed, but just not ranked at all for any of my top keywords.
The last thing I did before I disappeared overnight was add "follow me" buttons to all my pages and "share this" buttons to all my blogs. Could this be the problem?
My website and main keyword is Process Server
Is there anyone who could help push me in the right direction? I have no idea what I did wrong.

There you go, completely re-uploaded again now. Any advice at all would be a great help.

Sorry, still uploading all my CSS files.
As for the Google issue, I thought the same thing when it happened last week, but a week on, and my website can't be found on even the loosest of keywords.
i.e.: last week, type in Private Investigator (which is a tremendously difficult keyword to rank for (23,000 views per month)), and I would have been in the top two or three pages, now you search, and I am nowhere to be found.
So then, last week, do a search for Private Investigator Essex, and I was number 1, as there is only about 600 views a month for this keyword. But now, I'm not in the top 50 pages!! And that's a ridiculously easy keyword to rank number 1 on. In fact, I've been rank number 1 on that for about 5 years!!!

still a problem with css & image - check the blog
-
it is only showing HTML for me mate!
no images, no css
I do feel for you.
I have had Google do similar to me before, but it usually changes back within a day.Hope you sort it

The website is back online now.

Ah, no, that's because I decided to delete my entire website and reupload all the content. Probably a stupid time to do that considering I had just asked out a question, but I just had a sudden urge to do a 'clean install'!!
It's re-uploading as I type.
If you fancy a look, it'll be up again in about 10 minutes, hopefully....
I am completely stuck with ideas, and clean install was the best idea I could come up with incase there were any stray pieces of code laying around on my server annoying the google bots.

Google Search Console not loading some resources
When I check an URL with Search Console it cannot load some page resources, even from other domains (like: ssl.google-analytics.com, www.facebook.com and www.google-analytics.com).
Reporting & Analytics | | TottiataHUN
Have any of you experienced this issue?
Steps to reproduce: open Google Search Console check an URL click "View crawled page" link select "More info" tab click "Page resources" {?}/{?} couldn't be loaded When I check the listed resources, all of them can be loaded from a web browser.
So I do not understand why Google cannot load them.
And there is no additional info why the resources could not be loaded.
Any ideas? google-search-console-other-error-1.png google-search-console-other-error-2.png0 -
Why did all our Image Packs - featured SERP - disappeared on Mobile in July?
We saw our keywords ranking for Image Packs consistently on both desktop and mobile. Then July came and our image packs for mobile completely went away. We still have them for desktop, and we are still seeing the other Featured SERPs (ex. featured snippets) on mobile, but nothing for Image Packs. Has anyone else seen this happen? Any ideas why or how to change it so we can rank again?

How does Google measure page position in Webmasters?
Does anyone know exactly how Google measures page position in Webmaster Tools? For example: In Google Webmaster Tools, we had a product which on the 22/12/15 was at position 7, and then dropped to position 112 on the 30/12/15. It then rose back up to position 7 on the 6/01/16 and then down to position 25 on the 16/01/16. What does this mean and why?

Referral issue in Google analytics
We have an eCommerce website that counts paypal as a referral source in Analytics. The site takes people to Paypal to make a payment and then back to the website to a Thank You page once that payment has been made. Due to this, Analytics sees this as a conversion that has come from Paypal, and also records it as a referral source, when we know this is not really the case. This also distorts the data in analytics and prohibits us from clearly seeing which channels sales have come from. Is there anyway in Analytics to include Paypal as a part of the website so that it does not record Paypal as a separate referral website?

Google Analytics - Not provided info
Morning all, i am using Google analytics for some time now, One of the issues that i don't have a clear answer for is, when i am looking at Traffic Source --> overview In the Keyword column, that is a line (not provided) What we think here is that we cant see the keywords if someone arrived to our website but was logged-in to Google account Is this correct? is there a way to find the keywords behind this (not provided)? - i have many visits for this line (17.3% of all visits) and i don't know which keywords people used. Thank you SeoWise
