Two of Pages Have Been SendBoxed
-
Hello,
I was number 1-2 for my local keyword term, but now im nowhere, those two urls dont even show up in Google search results, my other pages DO, so that is obvious Google sendboxed them, i dont remember doing aggressive non quality link building, and its not a competitive term, since i was number 1 in Google for over 3 months or so
i checked this tool and found that two of my urls are in sendbox http://www.searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm
I was never sendboxed before, can you help me how can i get out of this, since its my client's website, and i have to get those pages up as soon as possible
Thank You

Hi Irving,
I did removed robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!
Do i still need to change the URL's and let the old ones 404?
Thanks
-
Thanks a lot Irving, i just removed them, but why it was there anyways?
i never created this
<meta name="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robots</a>" content="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> so after all this, my pages will get indexed ? thanks
-
Oh remove the robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!!! Check your other pages too to make sure you're no unintentionally blocking them.

<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> http://www.asggutter.com/gutter-protection-system/``` <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

these type of links are most likely the culprit. Did you get an email in WMT about unnatural link profile detected?

Hi,
But it looks like the entire site's organic visibility is .. flat line.
See a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LDe92AnA
You did had a spike up but then it went flat line again.
It also looks like you only have 4-5 keywords ranking on the second page and those are the best rankings for now.
So it's not only the two pages that have issues...
Am i missing something ?
Hope it helps.

sounds like those pages have been suppressed. probably the link building you did, doesn't have to be aggressive, just has to be too many similar anchor texts and/or sitewides etc.
change the URLs and let the old ones 404. start over with fresh urls.
-
Hi,
Can you post the domain name and the two urls so we can have a look at the visibility?
Cheers.

Our protected pages 302 redirect to a login page if not a member. Is that a problem for SEO?
We have a membership site that has links out in our unprotected pages. If a non-member clicks on these links it sends a 302 redirect to the login / join page. Is this an issue for SEO? Thanks!

Canonical Page Question
Hi, I have a question relation to Canonical pages That i need clearing up. I am not sure that my bigcommere website is correctly configured and just wanted clarification from someone in the know. Take this page for example https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/ Canonical link is https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/ The Rel="next" link is https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?sort=bestselling&page=2 and this page has a canonical tag as rel='canonical' href='https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?page=2' /> Is this correct as above and working as it should or should the canonical tag for the second (pagination page) https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/?page=2 in our source code be saying rel='canonical' href='https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/barra-lures/' />

Overdynamic Pages - How to Solve it?
Hi everyone, I'm running a classified real estate ads site, where people can publish their apartment or house they want to sell, so we use multiple filters to help people find what they want. Lately we added multiple filters to the URL to make the search more precise, things like: Prices (priceAmount=###) Bedrooms (BedroomsNumber=2) Bathrooms (BathroomsNumber=3) TotalArea (totalArea=1_50) Services (Elevator, CommonAreas, security) Among other Filters so you see the picture, all this filters are on the URL so that people can share their search on multiple social media, that makes two problems for moz crawl: Overdynamic URLs Too long URLs Now what would be a good solution for this 2 problems, would a canonical to the original page before the "?" would be ok? Example:

http://urbania.pe/buscar/venta-de-propiedades?bathroomsNumber=2&services=gas&commonAreas=solarium The problem I have with this solution is that I also have a pagination parameter (page=2), and I'm using prev and next tags, if I use a such canonical will break the prev and next tag? http://urbania.pe/buscar/venta-de-propiedades?bathroomsNumber=2&services=gas&commonAreas=solarium&page=2 Also thinking if adding a noindex on pages with paramters could also be an option. Thanks a lot, I'm trying to address this issues.0 -

Limit for words on a page?
Some SEOs might say that there is no such thing as too much good content. Do you try to limit the words on a page to under a certain number for any reason?
