Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords
-
Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?
-
Have you tried changing the Meta Titles, that way google will update the content or the visibility of the website according to the right keyword. Did it numerous times with the site(sure.bet) I was working at...
-
@BlueprintMarketing I found out today my website: targetedwebtraffic.com has issue with google web master tool, I deleted and added again and works again really good.
-
@BlueprintMarketing This is cool, I have issue with my website exactly like that and so many time google pick differnet keywords or part of keywords, This is help me understand what exactly I should do.

There are one of two possible reasons for this to be happening. Your site was hacked, and keywords were injected into the HTML creating this problem.
Or, your content needs to be improved, and you need to create a semantic content network with Query and Document Templates.it's either malware or
You have to create higher-quality content than the other guy.This is a list of what needs to be done to improve content drastically.
How to exceed quality thresholds?
To exceed quality thresholds, implement the methodologies below.-
Use factual sentence structures. (X is known for Y → X does Y)
-
Use research and university studies to prove the point. (X provides Y → According to X
University research from Z Department, on C Date, the P provides Y) -
Be concise, do not use fluff in the sentence. (X is the most common Y → X is Y with D%)
*Include branded images with a unique composition.
-
list item Have all the EXIF data and licenses of the images.
-
Do not break the context across different paragraphs.
-
Optimize discourse integration.
-
Opt for the question and answer format.
-
Do not distance the question from the answer.
-
Expand the evidence with variations.
-
Do not break the information graph with complicated transitions. Follow a logical order in the declarations.
-
Use shorter sentences as much as possible.
-
Decrease the count of contextless words in the document.
-
If a word doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, delete it.
-
Put distance between the anchor texts and the internal links.
-
Give more information per web page, per section, per paragraph, and sentence.
-
Create a proper context vector from H1 to the last heading of the document.
-
Focus on query semantics with uncertain inference.
-
Always give consistent declarations and do not change opinion, or statements, from web page to web page.
-
Use a consistent style across the documents to show the brand identity of the document.
-
Do not have any E-A-T negativity, have news about the brand with a physical address and facility.
-
Be reviewed by the competitors or industry enthusiasts.
-
Increase the "relative quality difference" between the source's current and previous state to trigger a re-ranking.
-
Include the highest quality documents as links on the homepage, so they are visible to crawlers as early as earlier.
-
Have unique n-grams and phrase combinations to show the originality of the document.
-
Include multiple examples, data points, data sets, and percentages for each information point.
-
Include more entities, and attribute values, as long as they are relevant to the macro context.
-
Include a single macro context for every web page.
-
Complete a single topic with every detail, even if it doesn't appear in the queries and the competitor documents.
-
Reformat the document in an infographic, audio, or video to create a better web surface coverage.
-
Use the internal links to cover the same seed query's subqueries with variations of the phrase taxonomies.
-
Use fewer links per document while adding more information.
-
Use the FAQ and article structured data to consistently communicate with the search engine from every level and for every data extraction algorithm.
-
Have a concrete authorship authority for your own topic.
-
Do not promote the products while giving health information.
-
Use branded CTAs by differentiating them from the main context and structure of the document.
-
Refresh at least 30% of the source by increasing the relative difference. (Main matter is explained in the full version of the SEO Case Study.)

Facebook won't show up in SERP
Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

Google search console 380,000 spam backlinks
Hi guys, I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains. Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines. Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list. Any tips on how to clean this up?

Is it worth buying an entry on Wikipedia-type sites?
Recently I've come across a few websites offering (for a fee) to research, write and publish an entry on the likes of Wikipedia, Citizendium or Wikitia - I thought this might be helpful when it comes to marketing and link building for a brand or individual. Purchasing guest blog posts is a standard way to obtain a high domain authority in-context backlink, but I wondered if purchasing an entry on one of these human edited encyclopedias would be as effective, better or not worth the money? It costs quite a bit more than guest posting and blog outreach, but on the other hand they are authoritative websites that also include backlinks. Any thoughts would be most welcome.

these sites where you have to pay to generate backlinks?
After opening a site here, we created a post containing a backlink and discovered a company with a top exposure. After opening the site in the same way, I created a post that included a backlink, but after a few days my account was suspended. By any chance, are these sites where you have to pay to generate backlinks? Of course, each site has a different policy, but my account is suspended every time.

How to Get a New Organic SERP Image Pack
I have been doing a little on-page SEO on our site today and came across the following images embedded within organic SERPs, please see the screenshot. Obviously the users eye is drawn to these and therefore they are likely to result in more clicks. It would be great to know what they are called and how to go about getting these for our own results? If we managed to implement these across our site it would make a big difference for us, as working in the travel space, images are so strong when painting a picture of the destination. Thanks

Unsolved Keyword data hasnt updated in over a month
I have already talked to Moz support and it was unhelpful. A large part of why I am paying for this membership is to track my company's overall rankings and keyword data. It has been well over a month since the last update when I search my company's name under "keyword research" and search by site. It hasn't budged yet it says it updates every two weeks. What gives? What value is Moz even providing to me?

Plagiarized Site Effecting Google Rankings
Can someone provides insights on a de-indexing example? I have gone through the depths of Google lack of support and requesting duplicate content flags, so no avail. Here's the scenario: Client had a competing SEO provider try to earn his business. In doing so, he copied word for word our blog that we have been producing content on over the last 5 years. He also integrated Google reviews in the structured data on this new URL. Well, fast forward 1-2 months later, our rankings started to drop. We found this 100% plagiarized site is taking away from our keyword rankings on GMB, and is no and Google search, and our site GMB is now only displaying on a branded name search as well as our search traffic has dropped. I have identified the plagiarized, duplicated content, being tied to our GMB as well, as the source of the problem. Well, I finally obtain ed control of the plagarized domain and shut down the hosted, and forwarded the URL to our URL. Well, Google still has the HTTS version of the site indexed. And it is in my professional opinion, that since the site is still indexed and is associated with the physician GMB that was ranking for our target keyword and no longer does, that this is the barrier to ranking again. Since its the HTTPS version, it is not forwarded to our domain. Its a 504 error but is still ranking in the google index. The hosting and SSL was canceled circa December 10th. I have been waiting for Google to de-index this site, therefore allowing our primary site to climb the rankings and GMB rankings once again. But it has been 6 weeks and Google is still indexing this spam site. I am incredibly frustrated with google support (as a google partner) and disappointed that this spam site is still indexed. Again, my conclusion that when this SPAM site is de-indexed, we will return back to #1. But when? and at this point, ever? Highlighted below is the spam site. Any suggestions? Capture.PNG
