Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Since August 11th We have been dropping 5 to 10% in Organic Search Traffic ? 
We are now producing as more quality content/ blogs/YouTube videos Facebook and Google plus posts, then ever before.

We taking a look at our pages, author tags, paying more attention to titles and meta descriptions.
we are not acting Spammy in any way,  or at least not that we can see.

But for some reason, Google analytics Stats are just going down week after week, our website is www.safari365.com

Can anyone help us see what we are doing wrong ?

Ours Did the exact same thing : read here for more answers to this question

i](http://moz.com/community/q/domain-authority-droped-4-points)t seems to be across the board, Hopefully it doesn't affect our traffic, so far i haven't seen any significant drop.

We trying but getting new links at a really really slow rate, hopefully with our you-tube videos and more content showing up on more sites it will help. 
Traffic seems to be taking a small drop but not allot,  the main issue is since the campaign started we have devoted loads of resources, content, link building ect.. but now all of a sudden the DA is at an all time low..

How do you tell if you're doing something wrong ? traffic is growing kinda but at a snails pace.

Hi there,

After the Last Mozscape index update: 08/27/2013Our DA along with all our competitors DA has dropped 4 points, Is there any reason for this ?Have others seen the same thing?

Any suggestions of building DA again fast ?  The owner of the company gets the reports from Moz and it really doesn't look good.  Is it expected to bounce back ?
We we started our SEO efforts the DA was at 28 ... then after a few developments it went up to 34 then dropped to 30 for no apprent reason, and now its down to 26 .. How do we stop this downhill slide ?

Hi there Andy,

I am searching for the answer for this question as well,  But So far my experience is that pages that rank for multiple keywords seem to have a added boost, which allowed it to rank 1st for the main target keyword..but to support that the page ranks on the first page for 4 or 5 different related keywords.

Hi there i must be missing something,, i have been looking for the list and cant find it ? where do i go to see it ?

I am a pro member but all i can find is posts talking about the directory list..  Where is it ?

Thank you Tom,

I will have a look at the rel=canonical tag, doing things the google way always helps

Thank you David,

Do you have any tips of how we can identify bad site? is there a test we can do and it says Yay or nay to exchanging links/posts with a site ?

If we write good content blog and post it on a "bad/spammy" site .. will that still count as a negative.

We just redesigned, and weren't very strong before the redesign either.  
DA of 32 and PA of 38 for the index page.

We can write a good quality content and add our link at the end or into it.

But the one thing I am afraid of is penalty via association,
If this tactic of "Neha Gupta" is a spammy tactic, will our link or post on his lower quality sites affect us by being connected to a Bad link Neighborhood ?

What would be the best way to avoid a Duplicate Page Content for these type of pages.

Our website generates user friendly urls, for each page..  
So it is the same exact page, just both versions of the url work..

Example:

http://www.safari365.com/about-africa/wildebeest-migration

http://www.safari365.com/wildebeest-migration

• I don't think adding code to the page will work because its the same page for the incorrect and correct versions of the page.

• I don't think i can use the URL parameter setting because the version with /about-africa/ is the correct (correct as it it follows the site navigation)

• I was thinking of using the htaccess to redirect to the correct version..

  Will that work ? and does it follow best Practices ?  any other suggestions that would work better ?

Today, a link builder contacted us, and in exchange for a link to his site he will be willing to give us a blog post on his sites..

The sites he is willing to give us a Blog post/links on are all around PA 25 and DA 25..

The site he wants us to link to has a DA of 78

Can someone advise us on any positives or negatives. on positing on his lower quality sites in exchange for links to his quality site..

Should we go ahead and partner with them ?
