Pagerank panda rebound
-
First,
I want to say thank you to the support i've been getting from everyone in this community over the last few months. Im glad to be a part of something that isnt full of flammers and haters... and happy late 4th of july...
I implemented canonical tags on a clients website (job board with tons of job postings) and the pagerank has almost immediately rebounded from 2.3 - 4.6. it was a little higher pre-panda, but im happy with the rebound.
has anyone had experience on how long it usually takes for the keyword rankings to rebound after changes are made?
google recached the site this morning, but im still waiting to see traffic bumps.
Thanks!

PageRank flow and distribution?
I'm confused about PageRank flow inside a domain.. Please provide me with an well explained guide about flow of Pagerank as I know, i think it flows from homapage to internal pages and then internal pages to homepage. I think I'm wrong. Also, every page has its own PR, if I give backlinks to external website from my internal pages, is it going to impact the homepage's pr and authority? Highly confused.. 😕

Panda Recovery ETA?
I have a blog hit by Panda in 2011 and 2012. The thing is, I've no-indexed around 1000 posts out of 11xx. No-indexed tags and archives. But, Google was taking a very long time to remove them from their indexes. So, I had to do a manual removal from Google WMT. Removed /2011/ and /2013/ as directories, and removed /pages/ (this is an WordPress site) so all of them are now no longer in their index. It was a smartphone blog started in 2011 which I turned into an tech blog on a new domain (I let the old PR3 DA 30+ domain expire and now someone's asking me $200 if I am to get it). I had a team when it was a smartphone blog. Our articles had been featured on places like Engadget, PhoneArena, UberGizmo etc. So, with the loss of the domain, we've lost quite a few important backlinks as well. Also, Authorship doesn't work for the site. The Rich Snippets testing tool says everything's all right, but it never really works / shows up on SERPs. I fear it's because of a penalty. It seems to me like no one has ever thought about a penalty that affects Authorship. So, now you know the problem, and the things I did in order to fix it, could you tell me if: Google will lift the penalty whenever they wish. (And an ETA?) They'll lift it when the next major algorithmic update occurs. (I made the changes on September 28th) But I don't see how this is a possibility since Panda has now been integrated into the core algorithm. Anything else. Thanks in advance everyone!

PageRank from 5 to N/A
Hi there, I do SEO for .. and it's a great site with all very valuable (and unique) information and resources. It was previously a PageRank 5 but recently (in the past week) it has gone to PR N/A across the entire website. The website is still being indexed in Google and our rankings are still the same. And although I'm aware PageRank means very little these days, I'm a little concerned this may be the start for a decrease in rankings due to something being wrong on the website. Have other people seen this? Would love some input in case you see something that I'm not or what may be causing the issue. Thank you for you time.

Panda and unnatural links caused ranking drop
Hi I have been approached to do some SEO work for a site that has been hit badly by the latest panda update 3.3, they have also had a warning in their Google webmaster tools account saying they had unnatural looking links to their site, they received this in 26 Feb and that prompted them to stop working with their excising seo company and look for a new one. Apparently their rankings for the keywords they were targeting have dropped dramatically, but it looks like just those they were actively building back links for, other phrases do not look affected. Before I take them on I want to be clear that it is possible to help them reclaim their rankings? I have checked the site and the on-page seo is good, the site build is good, just a few errors to fix but the links that have been built by the seo company are low quality with a lot of spun articles and the same anchor text so I see what the Google webmaster tools message is refuring to. I do not think these links can be removed as there is no contact details on the sites I checked I have not checked all of them but a random sample does not show promise, they are from low authority domains. So if I am to take them on as a client and help them to regain their previous rankings what is the best strategy? Obviously they want results yesterday and from our phone call they would rather someone else did the work than them, so my initial response of add some better quality content that others in your industry would link to as a reference did not go down well, to be fair I think it is a time issue there are only 3 people in the company and they are not technical at all. Thanks for your help Sean

Pagerank and 301s
Hi all For various reasons some of our pages were renamed from: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmoe to: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmo We have made proper 301 redirects and also updated sitemap.xml accordingly. The change was done about 5th of September. The content on the pages remain identical. This page, and all pages below it in the structure now get very low or no page-rank at all. Much lower than it was before the name change. Any ideas to how long, if ever, it will take for Google to transfer the page-rank from the old page? Any suggestions to what we can do to make the process faster?

Google Panda and ticketing sites: quality of content
Hi from Madrid! I am managing the Marketing Department of a ticketing site in Europe similar to Stubhub.com. We have thousands of events and, until now, we used templates for their descriptions. A lot of events share the same description with minor changes. They also have a lot of tickets on sale, so that's unique content different on each event. Now the last Google Panda update hit Europe and I was wondering if that will affect us a lot. It's hard to tell for now, because we are in the middle of the summer and the volume of searches in our industry depends decreases a lot during this time of the year. I know that ideally we should have unique descriptions but that would need a lot of resources and they are not important for our users: they just want to know the venue, the time and the price of the tickets! Have you experienced something about Google Panda update with a similar site or with another e-commerce industry? Thanks!
