Something is killing my rankings
-
Hello,
I'm in the process of re-doing the following two domains:
www.musillawfirm.com and www.melbourneduilawfirm.com because something absolutely plummeted my rankings. Any specific thoughts on why the sited could have gone from top 10 to being virtually deleted?
Thank you in advance.

It's going to be hard to give an exact answer as the sites have now changed. But, if your rankings dropped a month ago I'd be looking at Panda as a culprit. There was a Panda update that officially happened May 20 but many people saw changes a few days before that.

Hello,
Thanks for all of your input. Yes, I have done active link building maybe a year ago and the ranking dropped about a month or two ago on both sites.
As far as the address: the city is Viera, but for some reason whenever i put that into google places it keeps changing it to Rockledge (The two towns share a zip code). I really do not want to change all of my marketing to Rockledge.

Can you pinpoint the date when the rankings dropped?
Have you been doing any active linkbuilding?

Wow! There are numerous things that can make this happen and what do you mean "re-doing" the domains? Sounds
1. Did you make any serious changes to your website?
2. Did you check Google Webmaster Tools for any penalties?
3. Did you hire any one recently to do backlinking?Things I've noticed on your website:
- Don't put the phone number in a graphic. Users can't click to call and the search engines can see the number.
- Your website says you are in Viera FL 32955 and your Google Plus says Rockledge FL 32955. That's not good.
- I see you at this address as well. 970 North Cocoa Blvd. # 4 Cocoa, FL 32922 Did they move recently?
-
Which site has lost rankings? Both?

Wrong Pages Ranking
Good Afternoon We had an issue a while ago with the incorrect pages ranking in Google for some of our key terms. For example the page ranking for the term in Hotels in Spain was an individual information page for one particular hotel in Spain rather than the top level page which is optimised for "Hotels in Spain" The individual property page was ranking around 36-40 so we tightened up all the internal linking structure to ensure the term "Hotels in Spain" was pointing to the correct page and de-optimised the individual property page for the term. After a few weeks, everything seemed to be working and we were ranking top of second page for correct page however, ranking report today has reversed our good fortune and the incorrect page is ranking in a low position Any further suggestions or advise would be very much appreciated. Ideally, I don't want to remove the page that is ranking as it's still relevant for a search for that particular hotel

New pages not ranking
I published some new landing pages about a month a go which are much better quality than previous pages and on an optimised URL. The old pages never ranked and the new pages aren't ranking either although they are much better. The old pages 301 redirect to the new pages. Any quick ways I can at least get them ranking? Not expecting Page 1 overnight but to at least see the new pages on Page 5 would be great!
