MozCast metrics: Big movement yesterday - what happened?
-
Hi,
As the title says, looked at MozCast metrics and it's showing some pretty big movement for yesterday.
Anyone see any SERP movement? Or have an idea what happened?
-
I'm happy to hear you've found it useful. We're definitely working on next steps to make it more powerful - should be some cool data coming out on the site and blog over the next few months.

Thanks, all sounds good.
The mozcast tool is defiantly something im using more and telling others to look at, it's a nice tool.
So thanks.

I'm not seeing strong evidence of an algorithm update, but it's far from a perfect science. There's flux every day (a lot of it). We're testing an expanded data set that will let us drill down by 20 industry categories and 10+ data centers, but we have to collect enough data to tell what's normal. It could be that 65 degrees is a "hot" day in consumer electronics but a cool day in real estate. It can get subjective fast.
Definitely working on tools to answer those questions, but I don't have much solid information for you about yesterday. Best we know, the moderately high temps we original observed (and they weren't even all that high) were a fluke of changing our data collection method.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the update,
So nothing major to report then? I have been seeing some pretty heavy flux in SERP's and Webmaster World has a few thread about results fluxing quite heavily, I assume this is connected to the individual websites rather then an update or tweaks to the algo.

Mark beat me to the punch Sorry, yeah that was a code change necessitated by some DOM changes Google made around early December. Unfortunately, they were subtle, and we didn't detect them initially.
I'm happy to answer any specific questions/concerns in this thread.
-
uh nice cheers Mark.

Apparently this is reflective of code change made to the system and not algo updates here - see Dr. Pete's tweet here - https://twitter.com/dr_pete/status/288665186951380994 - stay tuned for his blog post

What happens when most of the website visitors end up at an "noindex" log-in page?
Hi all, As most of the users are visiting our website for log-in, we are planning to deindex login page. As they cannpt find it on SERP, they gonna visit our website and login; I just wonder what happens when most of the visitors just end up at homepage by browsing into an "noindex" page. Obviously it increases bounce rate and exit rate as they just gonna disappear. Is this going to push down us in rankings? What are the other concerns to check about? Thanks

What happens when non-relevant topic is getting more visitors?
Hi all, So we have a sub-domain which has user generated content like forums. Mostly the content is all about our product. Few times some spammy threads get posted and we delete them regularly. I have noticed that a non-relevant thread has been posted which about a movie. But this page got hundreds of clicks. I just wonder will this hurts being off topic and movie torrent thread or helps being receiving hundreds of visitors? Thanks

Big ranking drop after 12/Jan/2017
Hello, moz users. Has anyone confirmed that keyword ranking dropped since last few days? I've tracked several keyword ranking by Moz and SEMrush and the ranking dropped big time on both tools today. one of the keywords dropped its ranking from 10 to out of SERP. Mozcast has shown high temperature so I assume there is or has been algo update but I would like to know someone encountered the same issue. Thanks.

What is your hypothesis why Panda/Penguin recoveries happen over months after an algorithm update rather than over night?
We have experienced many scenarios were ranking recoveries from clear Panda and Penguin penalties on our sites don't necessarily happen with the launch of a Panda/Penguin update but instead trickle back in over weeks and months after a confirmed algo update. A good example is shown in the image which shows a panda recovery for a high volume keyword. What is your theory why these ranking recoveries happen over weeks vs instantly? qCWliLF

We have a terrible, severe loss in our Keywords rankings this week, can you please help us what would happen in only 7 days ?
On the date 3rd of October we had almost 55 Keywords up and 44 almost down, Today after 7 days there is a severe drop 90 keyword is down, 7 only are up, and that's one website. My other website had 57 words up and 175 down. Our strategy in building backlinks: Directory submissions, article submissions and some blog commenting, we keep into consideration to choose only websites with high page rank (Page Rank 2 and higher). Also we had an updated on one of our websites since 1st of June a new URL structure, content, new pages and sitemap. Both websites has tons of keywords that we worked on increasing its rank and some we haven't touch them and its ranks was decreased. Does the new Google "hummingbird" have something to do with that? is there anything wrong with our strategy? Please provide us with your feedback ASAP.

Our Rankings are being very inconsistent! Some days we are on the front page, some days we are not in the top 50\. This happens on a weekly and sometimes daily basis... Any thoughts on why this is happening? This newbie appreciates any feedback.
We seem to be having major issues with our rankings. When I came into the company, the company was in the middle of cleaning up some of their past SEO efforts that had caused some issues with some of the latest Google updates. We were able to get the site back up to par, and some of our rankings were improved back to the first page, but then they disappeared. They will head back to the first page and then disappear again on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. Does anyone have any idea on why it will be doing this so inconsistently and so often? This newbie appreciates any feedback!!!!!
