HTTPS Update - 1 Category Dropped Out of Google
-
Hi
We updated to HTTPs last week, we haven't had any major issues and most categories on the site are OK, apart from one.
We have completely dropped out of ranking in Google at all for our Dollies section: https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/dollies-load-movers-door-skates
We've always ranked well on the first page for a number of keywords, now we're out of the top 100 - I am trying to hunt for an issue but I can't seem to find one.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

I would give it a couple weeks and let google fully recrawl and rerank the pages. This is not uncommon to see rank drops after an https migration but they are usually short lived. How are you monitoring the ranking of these keywords?
-
We migrated on the 8th, and it was OK for a day or so, then completely gone.
-
Hmm have you done any migration?

Becky,
It does seem strange. How long has it been since you updated to https, and how long has the ranking been down? Over a week?
-
That's weird. I'm having the exact same issue.
My accommodation section isn't ranking.
The root page of the section is (accommodation) but none of the content pages inside
e.g.
https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation/hotels-in-liverpool should be ranking for 'hotels in Liveprool'
So frustrating

Hi
Ive checked this and I can't see any issues, it just seems strange it would be this one area dropping completely out
-
Becky,
It could be an anomaly that you will see regain rank quickly or there are other issues.
Make sure there is not a redirect chain causing issues or that web bots can access the page. There may be a simple explanation.
Thanks,
Don

May integrating my main category page in the index page improve my ranking of main category keyword?
90% of our sales are made with products in one of our product categories.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | lcourse
A search for main category keyword returns our root domain index page in google, not the category page.
I was wondering whether integrating the complete main category directly in the index page of the root domain and this way including much more relevant content for this main category keyword may have a positive impact on our google ranking for the main category keyword. Any thoughts?1 -
Http - Https Issue
Hey there Mozzers, I have a site that few months ago went from being http - https. All the links redirect perfect but after scanning my site with Screaming Frog i get a bunch of 503 errors. After looking into my website I see that a lot of links in my content and menu have as a link the http url. For example my homepage has content that interlinks to the http version of the site. And even though when I test it it redirects correctly after scanning with Screaming frog it reports back as 503. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks in advance

Why is Google Reporting big increase in duplicate content after Canonicalization update?
Our web hosting company recently applied a update to our site that should have rectified Canonicalized URLs. Webmaster tools had been reporting duplicate content on pages that had a query string on the end. After the update there has been a massive jump in Webmaster tools reporting now over 800 pages of duplicate content, Up from about 100 prior to the update plus it reporting some very odd pages (see attached image) They claim they have implement Canonicalization in line with Google Panda & Penguin, but surely something is not right here and it's going to cause us a big problem with traffic. Can anyone shed any light on the situation??? Duplicate%20Content.jpg
