Google May Update
-
As per google the May update takes care of all content scrapping sites
Then why is this site - http://www.viduba.com is still having good ranking ?
All of its videos are hotlinkled from youtube
-
Yes the other sites in SERP are not very competitive , do not have access to semrush logs any more
-
Again, the term "well" is very relative. You can be a relatively bad site, but if the other sites using that term are worse, then you can rank well.
Can you offer some examples for key words that this site ranks in the top 3 for? If not, then choose their best ranking key word from the first page of SERP.
-
I have even checked the site with semrush.com , it does rank well for many kewords
-
Alexa is ranking the site's TRAFFIC. That is an important thing to understand.
I can create a bad, one-page site, advertise it, promote it, and Alexa will still show the site's traffic.
That is much different the organic page ranking. The Google Panda update has to do with how sites appear in SERP. The correlation is, that sites which do better in SERP will do better in Alexa. It is possible for a site to do well in Alexa even if they don't do well in Google.
-
Becasue they have good alexa rank , which is not manipulaed and something I have been monitoring for past 6 months and it has gradually increased
I got interested in the site siince their sister site - http://vidoevo.com/ was autctioned on flippa.com some time back... Even this site has good rankings ...I have been tracking them ever since
-
How did you determine they have "good" ranking?
They have a domain authority of 15, which I wouldn't refer to as good ranking.
-
These updates by Google are applied algorithmically. This means that they are applied based on a set of standards, which should affect as many 'bad' sites as possible, while at the same moment affect as few 'good' sites as possible.
For some reason the website you're mentioning apparently didn't match the algorithmic criteria to get hit by lower rankings (on this series of updates).

I disappeared from Google, but not Bing?
A few weeks ago the company I work for created a website called Nabceptraining.com in hopes to find clientele who are looking to become NABCEP Certified. So we installed WordPress and a nice looking theme that we edited, and we saw that without any real content on the page we were already rank 12 on Google! We never even submitted our site. So we decided to Search Engine Optimize our website to gain even better rankings. So on the first day we added an SEO Tool that would allow us to change the page titles and descriptions on our site, a Sitemap generation tool so we could submit the site to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At the end of the day we submitted the site and was beginning to create our content. That next morning our ranking was gone and we were not to be found on Google, but we were rank 3 on Bing!? What happened? Why did we disappear? We didn't receive any messages from Google on the webmaster tools saying we were blacklisted. Does anyone have an idea?

Google Schema Code for Organisation
I've created the Google Schema code for an organisation. Should this go in the template HTML so it would be shown on all pages or just on the home page?

Not ranking on Google
Hi all, I am optimising a site which is a hotel directory for a small island in the Mediterranean - Malta. The site is www.maltahotelsonline.com. I did a keyword research and optimised the page. However I am now at link building stage. Since we do not have many links the site is still not ranking very well for the desired keywords (ranking fine on Bing and Yahoo yet not on Google). As a result there isn't much traffic on the site. 1. Is there any particular issue that you can spot on this site that is not allowing it to rank well on Google? 2. Any suggestions on link-building please?

Hit by the penguin update
Hi, My site @ www.mortgageadvicecenter.co.uk has been hit by the penguin update. I cannot be found at all in google for certain keywords such as mortgage advice where we ranked page 2. We still rank for certain keywords. I really don't know why we have been penalised and what to do. I have plenty of brand links and nothing out of the ordinary link distribution. This obviously affects our bottem line so do you have any idea's or time scales? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Ryan

Should I update old well-ranked posts?
I have a Wordpress site and I think I have "split content" problem. We use to publish preview info, i.e. "leaked images of iphone 5". Some weeks later, official release with official images. And some weeks later, our own review with quality content and pictures. Sometimes the first post are well ranked, but the best content is in our review. How should I manage that? I tried to make a page of each product and link it, but posts stills rank better than pages. And now I have several pages for the same keyword, ie: mysite.com/2011/08/11/leaked-images-of-iphone-5 mysite.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-official mysite.com/2011/10/15/iphone-5-mysite-review and all linked in mysite.com/phones/iphone5 ... and mysite.com/tag/iphone5 What do you think is best approach to this kind of site? Thank you!
