Dear all,
I've a 5 years old website, which was in top rank for a particular keyword. It's been a couple of months that the site suddenly disappeared from Google.com.au search. However, the site is number one on Bing and Yahoo.
I've tried almost everything in my limited knowledge but it doesn't seem to come back. Can you please suggest if something can be done.Google.com.au
website: http://partysuppliesnow.com.au/
keyword: "party supplies"Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It looks like for your site is either the EMD or panda 20. See visibility graph: http://screencast.com/t/nuADEP65t
Since you are a good candidate for the exact match domain issue / update you can tackle that but first you should see if you are also a panda candidate and go with the vaccine base don the illness...
Hope it helps.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies. It's been really awesome. At least, now I have a direction to follow.
@Chris Menke: I've generated a report with penguin-tool you sent. It seems we are hit by Exact-Match Domain (EMD) Update and Panda#20. Please see the attached image.
Could you please tell what should I do to recover from the EMD and Panda 20 effects? Is there a chance I can get my traffic back with the same keywords?
@Jeff Christofferson: Yes, we used a service who were building 1 way links and the links all focused heavily on our main anchor text "party supplies" and "wedding decorations" which made our link profile look unnatural. - we have removed most of them now, and just 2 days ago used the disavow tool on 112 links we couldn't get removed.
Thanks again guys

Jarod,
It looks like there's some suspicious links to your website, including one "link network" from city.lucarelli.com. It may look like a link network to Google, especially when there's the same exact match text (Wedding Decorations) for each one.. I'd also remove links from linkpartners.com. I just took a quick look, but there's a few links from lower domain authorities than you which probably aren't helping your site.
Hope this helps! From my own experience, it's been taking 15-30 days to get sites back after an algorithm change like this... So be patient is the best advice I can give you, after you clean up your link profile.

Jarrod,
First you'll want to determine what penalty you were hit with. You can match up your google analytics with this http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/ or this http://moz.com/google-algorithm-change and then you'll need to start taking steps to recover from the penalty--here's a starting point for that: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2276498/Pure-Spam-What-Are-Google-Penalties-What-to-Do-to-Recover

Is a new website the only way to get better rankings?
Our website is https://www.franklin-bell.com.au. For a while now we've been trying to get a few of our pages on there to get a better rank on google. A local SEO agency told us that some of our pages are not like "the modern standard" for web pages, but our page score for the keywords we want is 90% and higher. Do we really need to completely rebuild the website (it was built in 2014) in order to get better rankings? Or is it sufficient to have the 97% page score and then just get some back links and social media referrals etc. Thanks in advance.

Are there any tools to give a value STRICTLY for Quantity of Content on your website?
I am trying to put a value to all the work I do and want to put a very specific value to the number of pages of unique content I have. I know everyone says its about quality, and sure it is but quantity is still a factor and looked at. (Can't argue with if you prefer 100 semi-optimized pages versus 1 optimized page- and is unfair for a tool to rate the website the 1 optimized page higher) I use a ton of tools but yet to find something that puts a value on quantity of CONTENT ONLY (Please don't respond with PA or DA because that encompasses all the inherit value)

Is there a way you can determine the time SEOMoz crawls your website
I'm a new user to SEOMoz Pro, and having created a number of campaigns I wanted to know if you can set / schedule when SEOMoz crawls your website? Ideally I want to prevent SEOMoz from crawling my site at certain times, but I can't seem to find a way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

Can Google see all the pages that an seomoz crawl picks up?
Hi there My client's site is showing around 90 pages indexed in Google. The seomoz crawl is returning 1934 pages. Many of the pages in the crawl are duplicates, but there are also pages which are behind the user login. Is it theoretically correct to say that if a seomoz crawl finds all the pages, then Google has the potential to as well, even if they choose not to index? Or would Google not see the pages behind the login? And how come seomoz can see the pages? Many thanks in anticipation! Wendy

How can I create multiple private labeled website SEO analysis reports?
How can I create multiple white-labeled website SEO analysis reports using the SEOMoz software? I'm speaking at a workshop and want to provide this as a giveaway to attendees to start the discussion on improving their SEO. I'm looking mostly for an overview summary of a site's key SEO data points including inbound links, on-page SEO details including page titles, and basic recommendations for improving. Websitegrader.com offers this but not white-labeled. I'm not sure about how SEOMoz handles this. Thanks

Ultimate Ranking Tool integrating Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools
I currently use SEOMOZ Campaigns and Advanced Web Ranking for monitoring our KW rankings and those of competition. AWR is a brilliant tool with so many different reports, methods of viewing etc. SEOMOZ campaigns are good but don't come close to the monitoring power of AWR (EG I monitor over 50 competitors on over 1000 KW's on a Daily basis with AWR and recieve a variety of set emailed reports on the data). However, one thing that SEOMOZ campaigns have that is useful is the traffic data - but this is still a bit basic and I think could be improved. The problem with AWR is that it doesn't integrate with your Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools - so it is only showing you half the picture. Knowing how your site ranks for each keyword is helpful, but it would be nice to understand the value of each keyword. For example, being able to see your rank position and how much traffic that keyword has sent you over time would be helpful. It would also be nice to see the number of searches that are performed for that keyword each month . For example, lets say I saw that I was ranking at number 11 for “hover mower” and getting 500 hits per month. Two months from now, if I was ranking at position 7, it would be nice to be able to immediately see how that changed the amount of traffic I was receiving for the term. Is a position of 11 (first item on page two) better than position 10 (last item on page one)? If you can link it to your analytics, you could then link it to your goals, and goal values to get a complete picture of where your keywords rank the value of the rank, and the improvment on that value when rank changes. If browsed around for such software but can't find anything like this - does anyone know of any software that can do this - or something close to this? Many thanks
