My site is not ranking at all.
-
Can anybody check it what is the main culprit behind my website's growth?
-
Thanks for investing your time mate. No, I didn't experience the traffic drop with any algorithm update. As I mentioned, I had shifted my site from .in to .com and also with that, server locations got changed. When I had .in domain, it was ranking and I was quite satisfied with the rank. I was ranking 5 out of 1 articles, but now, It not happens.
I've noindexed those pages, because they were not adding any value to my ranking and site, instead causing the duplicate issue problem.
Do you recommend me changing the current domain name? Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't realize that you wanted those pages to be noindexed.
We brought it up because from what we can see, it looks like you only have a few pages indexed.
How many pages does Google Search Console tell you they have indexed?
Sometimes content pruning (deleting or noindexing pages) can be good. But it's also possible that it can hurt you if you've noindexed some pages that were ranking and driving traffic to your site. Not only do you lose the traffic they had but you lose their PageRank value to your site and any internal link value to other pages of your site.
Also, you mention that you want to get your site back on track. When did you see the traffic drop? Was it around the same time as some changes you made to your site? Did it coincide with a major algorithm update?
-
Before I was changing the domain, I knew the terms So, I redirected it to the current domain and later, removed the old domain permanently. And I don't get this, How come noindex urls affect the Overall SEO?. I'm just confused. I don't want those urls to get indexed, because they were causing the duplicate pages issue. Could you clarify that why noindex tags can affect the indexable urls?.
-
Well your biggest problem is that fact that the bulk of your site is noindexed.
You should run your site through ScreamingFrog to find out which of your pages are noindexed and fix that.
I manually clicked through a few dozen pages and found that the following pages are all noindexed:
- https://www.10stuffs.com/technews
- https://www.10stuffs.com/product-cat/tablets/
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brands
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brand/dell/

Also did you redirect your old domain name to your current domain name?

I've designed it, but not the whole site. And you'r seeing the handful of posts indexed on google because, I've recently submitted some posts to noindex for some reason. I don't think by searching for term like site:10stuffs.com will give the accurate results, that's because, when typing a url separately, results are the same.
There is no duplicate content, no copied and also I don't see any technical issue. The reason could be the hosting servers, as I had different locations earlier and also I had changed my domain name once.
Other than that, I don't think there is any problem. What do you think and please do suggest me what to do to get my website back on track.
My articles used to be indexed instantly but all of a sudden, they are taking days to appear in the search result.
I write news based contents so, fast indexing the is the matter of some concern to me.

Running a quick "site:" search on your website, I can see that there are a handful of pages that are indexed. I can also see that you only have 2 posts up and they were published very recently. Additionally, a few elements on the menu are not linked to any pages. So I'm wondering if the site is relatively new or has been redesigned recently?

Web Site Ranking
Hi Folks, I made some changes on my website www.gemslearninginstitute.com and published it two days ago. It was ranking on Google first page for a few keywords. I did not touch the pages which were ranking on first page. Since then I am not seeing the website ranking on the Google. Does it take a few days to rank again? How can I ensure that next time if I update the website or publish some blog on my website then it should not effect the ranking. Secondly, if I would like to rank in three different cities then do I need to create separate pages for each city or how should I proceed with this. Thanks

Is it possible to Spoof Analytics to give false Unique Visitor Data for Site A to Site B
Hi, We are working as a middle man between our client (website A) and another website (website B) where, website B is going to host a section around websites A products etc. The deal is that Website A (our client) will pay Website B based on the number of unique visitors they send them. As the middle man we are in charge of monitoring the number of Unique visitors sent though and are going to do this by monitoring Website A's analytics account and checking the number of Unique visitors sent. The deal is worth quite a lot of money, and as the middle man we are responsible for making sure that no funny business goes on (IE false visitors etc). So to make sure we have things covered - What I would like to know is 1/. Is it actually possible to fool analytics into reporting falsely high unique visitors from Webpage A to Site B (And if so how could they do it). 2/. What could we do to spot any potential abuse (IE is there an easy way to spot that these are spoofed visitors). Many thanks in advance

How do you prevent the mobile site becoming a duplicate of the full browser site?
We have a larger site with 100k+ pages, we need to create a mobile site which gets indexed in the mobile engines but I am afraid that google bot will consider these pages duplicates of the normal site pages. I know I can block it on the robots.txt but I still need it to be indexed for mobile search engines and I think google has a mobile crawler as well. Feel free to give me any other tips that I should follow while trying to optimize the mobile version. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

We are located in Canada but sell our products world wide. We are ranking ok on google.ca but are not in the top 50 on google.com. Is it due to my ip address? Is there any tips that you can give me to help up my rating for google.com. Any info you can provide me with will be amazing. Thanks,
