go into Google Webmaster tools and see if you have the option of HRlang
How new is .in it was .co.in
if you do targeted at the country you wish to Rank within
Do you have the correct language setup is your content copy written for the country are targeting?
here is a list of TLD's that do not need to have you tell Google where you want them rank. If you do not have any Hindi and your server's IP address is being hosted out of the United States Google could be picking up on these other signals.

I will write back tomorrow and finish this it's very late for me now but look into this for me please.
Sincerely,

Hi,
I just noticed that http://www.homeadda-sobhaaspirationalhomes.in/ is ranking well in google.com but not in google.co.in. What might be the possible reason?
Regards,

I am suprised that there is an heading called "price" - consequently there shoulld stay "Sobha Aspirational Homes Price". That really does not mean you should do that!
For me it looks like a lot "Sobha Aspirational Homes" and a bit "coming soon". I think that could be to much. I don't know when I last found a site in google, when I searched for a keyword phrase, wich has the exact phrase in so many headings and alt-tags. It looks to me like you have made the site for a google bot, but not for me.
One funny thing is, this Q+A allready is ranked better in google.de. And each website on page one looks a lot more natural to me.
By the way: Sobha greenacres (the .com site in the footer) is linked with "Sobha Aspirational Homes" - thats not what you wanted to do I am sure.

Can you give me a snapshot of your analytics? Also I don't want to alarm you but Google's pigeon effects sites having to do with real estate really hit the United States hard. Now it's been rolled out to Canada and the UK I am not sure if it is an NDA had but I'm guessing it might have just hit.
http://www.homeadda-sobhaaspirationalhomes.in/
The URL itself is extremely hard to remember but that probably did not do it. You do not have very many back links and local real estate is becoming similar to organic search

make sure the site conforms to everything here

I hope that you have not been hit and I wish you luck let me know if I can do any more help,
Tom

Upgarded woocommerce 2 to 3 and saw a large drop in rank
Hi guys, I recently upgraded from woocommerce 2 to v3 and rankings have been plummeting. I have double checked all of the schema, markup, technical, speed, etc and it all seems to be the same. The on thing that I did find is that while there used to be about 400 images (products) there are now over 1500 images in the index as all of the thumbnails are not in the sitemap. Would / could this cause the issue? Can i remove all the thumbs from the sitemap? if so any suggestions on how (google returns very little to nothing regarding this). Should i alt text every thumbnail..... Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Website redesign, some urls are no longer available. How do I mitigate ranking drops?
I am currently refreshing my WordPress business website. I used a theme that had a built in portfolio option. I wanted to strip down the bloat and move to something more simple to better articulate my message. Upon switching themes I will loose my urls for my portfolio projects. I should have never used this built in function but it did exactly what I needed and wanted here is an example. http://silvernailwebdesign.com/portfolio-view/central-jersey-claims-association-wordpress-consulting/ Now on my staging site these portfolio pieces have vanished and the urls are indexed with google. I could create posts and recreate the portfolio pieces however the problem with the url is the /portfolio-view/ portion. I cannot recreate the part of the url. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I receive some traffic through the portfolio pages but not much, however, I do not want to loose any traffic. I am looking for a strategy that will solve this url issue with WordPress. I have about 10 separate portfolio pages with this url issue.

"sex" in non-adult domain name
I have a client with a domain that has "sex" in the domain name. For example, electronicsexpo.com. The domain ranks for a few keywords related to the services offered. It is an old domain that has been online for over 10 years. It ranks well for local keywords. No real SEO effort has been made on this domain, so it is rather a clean slate. I am going to be doing SEO on this site. Will the fact that the word "sex" exists in the name have any sort of negative consequence. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING adult related or pornographic on this site. I would think that search engines are sophisticated enough to differentiate, but would potential customers with things like parental filters be blocked from viewing content? Is this hurtful in anyway? If so, would I be better off changing domain names? TIA

Need help understanding "Clone sites"
I just read an article about Panda and it warned against against Clone sites: "Clone sites are a strong panda factor (JM, Mar 10, 2014)" I don't have any clone sites, but there are dozens of sites with imitations of mine. We were the first in the area of interest, and then all these other sites that imitated us popped up. None are exact replicas. But many have spun some of our articles and used them to create their sites; the site structures are not identical though. Google seems to know we are the original site on the topic since we are ranked #1 for most terms. Would these be considered clone sites in their eyes?

Bad use of the Rel="canonical" tag
Google is currently ranking my category page instead of our homepage for our key term and we would rather have our homepage rank for the term. Would it be a bad idea to rel="canonical" our category page to our homepage? Our homepage is optimized to rank for the keyword and has more PR than our category page. However, I don't really know if this will have negative repercussions. Thanks, Jason

"Too many links" - PageRank question
This question seems to come up a lot. 70 flat page site. For ease of navigation, I want to link every page to one-another. Pure CSS Dropdown menu with categories - each expanding to each of the subpage. Made, implemented, remade smartphone friendly. Hurray. I thought this was an SEO principle - ensuring good site navigation and good internal linking. Not forcing your users to hit "back". Not forcing your users to jump through hoops. But unless I've misread http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many then this is something that's indirectly penalised by Google because a site with 70 links from its homepage only lets each sub-page inherit 1/80th of its PageRank. Good site navigation vs your subpages are invisible on Google.

I have received no notifications in webmaster tools
The site still ranks for its name so we are not banned
The site has been around since 2007
My mozrank and trustrank are very high (higher than sites that now still rank while we don't)
The strange this is the homepage doesn't rank for the main keyword (which it always did), but now a deeper page ranks for the main keyword, albeit on page 4.
Quite a few of our sites were affected, even though they target different industries, different countries, with different hosts, different unique content, different links (for one we havent even started link building and it was getting 250 UV per day, and now 8). I am completely confused by this.
Any advice or direction would be extremely helpful. Thanks so much0
