Website indexed but not ranking for anything
-
hello everyone,
It seems my website http://www.scribidocampus.com/ is indexed by google but it si not ranking anywhere, even wehn i google scribidocampus.
If i search any of the text on my website in " " no results come up.
can someone tell me the reason?
-
thanks a lot, My team will be working on this and lets hope we do well.

Without seeing the backend of the site and all the collected data, I can only speculate as to potential causes.
If there was a manual penalty, you'd be able to check that in Search Console/Webmaster Tools. Make sure your sitemap is uploaded to search console as well. Make sure there are no errors associated with it. Run a "fetch as" in Search Console to ensure that Google can properly see your homepage and submit to index. Build out the content. Build out the link profile. Determine your core search terms that you would like to be ranking for. Make sure to build out pages associated with those things. If things like the English Writing Course, the Premier League and the Newsletter Publishing are important then make sure they're higher on the page and more noticeable instead of in the footer. The meta keywords tag is not actually important but you do stuff a lot of keywords into it on some pages... consider toning it down a bit. Make sure your meta descriptions are well written and explain what the page is about. Don't just copy & paste a line or two from the paragraph of page content to re-use as a meta description.

Thanks, i will take care of that. can you tell me what other factor could be the reason? as if i search a text in the website in double quote, it is still not coming up on results. might be some penalty?

Your content is _severely _lacking. It appears that you have three real pieces of original content (which are all pretty thin) and then 5 sample blog pages on your site. You can't really expect to be ranking for your content if you've done practically no work on your content. And you don't appear to have a backlink profile. You should really consider getting your name out there and getting some relevant links. These may not be the only reasons but they are contributing factors. Put some time and energy into expanding your content, making your site richer and more informative, and you'll start to see some movement.

Remove those "sample" pages and add more quality content.

Actually, the website is quite old, Domain name is 3 years old, But recently got it redesigned after having downtime of couple fo months.
What should be my steps forward?
-
It looks like it's a new site, and the quality of the site probably isn't helping you, for example: http://www.scribidocampus.com/blog/scribido-sample-blog-four/ I would remove those sample blogs and update it with relevant content.

Not all images indexed in Google
Hi all, Recently, got an unusual issue with images in Google index. We have more than 1,500 images in our sitemap, but according to Search Console only 273 of those are indexed. If I check Google image search directly, I find more images in index, but still not all of them. For example this post has 28 images and only 17 are indexed in Google image. This is happening to other posts as well. Checked all possible reasons (missing alt, image as background, file size, fetch and render in Search Console), but none of these are relevant in our case. So, everything looks fine, but not all images are in index. Any ideas on this issue? Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks

Sudden Drop in Rankings
I manage a site and this past month have noticed some pretty significant drops in rankings for some of our main keywords. I'm trying to understand why and what I can do to correct it. We did do some 301 redirects a little over a month ago so I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it as Google indexes the new URLs. One thing I did notice in Moz is that it is showing that Google is indexing the new URLs but associating them with the wrong keywords in the wrong location. The company services three locations and each location has a service page on the site. But Moz is showing that in Atlanta, the indexed URL is the Nashville one, etc. Is there any way to affect that? Another thing to note is that organic search traffic is actually up so it doesn't appear to be affecting them which I find a bit strange. Just looking for any insight as to things I should be looking into to explain the sudden drops. Thanks!

Should I promote each section of my website
Hi, i have a magazine website and i have been heavily promoting the main page of the site thinking that all the work i am doing for the main page which includes links and so on would then pass onto the rest of my site but i have a feeling this is not correct. Can anyone let me know if i should be concentrating on each section of the site and also on my articles should i be promoting these articles or let the search engines pick them up. I already use facebook and twitter to promote new articles but i would like to know if i should be doing more than this

Duplicate content issue index.html vs non index.html
Hi I have an issue. In my client's profile, I found that the "index.html" are mostly authoritative than non "index.html", and I found that www. version is more authoritative than non www. The problem is that I find the opposite situation where non "index.html" are more authoritative than "index.html" or non www more authoritative than www. My logic would tell me to still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html". Am I right? and in the case I find the opposite happening, does it matter if I still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html"? The same question for www vs non www versions? Thank you
