Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Good day!

I have done a scan on my site with browseo.net ( and a few other similar scanners ) and got the mess seen in the screenshot.

I've tried deleting all the files in the website folder, replace it with a single image file, but it still shows the same error.

What could this mean and should i be worried?

P.S

Found my answer after contacting the helpful support of browseo.net :

It took me some time to figure out what was going on, but it seems as if you are mixing content types. Browsers are quite smart when it comes to interpreting the contents, so they are much more forgiving than we are.

Browseo crawls your website and detects that you are setting utf-8 as part of the meta information. By doing so, it converts the content in a different character encoding then what they are supposed to be. In a quick test, I tried to fetch the content type based on the response object, but without any success. So I am suspecting that in reality your content is not utf-8 encoded when you parse it into joomla. The wrong character type is then carried over for the body (which explains why we can still read the header information).  All of this explains the error.

In order for it to work in browseo, you’d have to set the content type correctly, or convert your own content into utf-8 before parsing. It may be that you are either storing this incorrectly in the database (check your db settings for a different content type other than utf-8) or that other settings are a bit messed up. The good news is, that google is probably interpreting your websites correctly, so you won’t be punished for this, but perhaps something to look into…

Thank you for the response!

Yes the site is about plastic window, door manufacture, install and repair.

Its interesting that using OSE on one of the sites   ( like this one http://www.kapu-pieminekļi.lv/) it shows only one link, and yet the site still ranks 1st for the keyword "kapu pieminekļi".

Question about blogs and social media. How often should i generally add new content to the blog? Which of the 3 social media its preferred to focus on? And how long does it usually take to see an effect on ranking?

Good day.

I am fairy new to SEO and a lot of things about how google ranking works is very confusing to me. For example i do not understand why websites that are not optimized score 1st positions.

Currently i am working on optimizing  http://logiunvarti.lv/ for google.lv. I would like to ask if i am going in the right direction as far as on-page optimization and any kind of suggestion would be very welcome.

Another roadblock i have reached is link building. Latvia is not a big country and most of the websites on similar topic as my are either competitors and are have low domain authority, dead for years, or simply ignore emails. Would social media be a decent alternative?

I feel like i am missing a crucial point on SEO in for my country.  I would be extremely grateful for any advice or if possible to contact me on skype for a better explanation on my problem.

Hello!

For the last month i have notices a drastic change in Avg.position  for a keyword on my clients site http://livoart.lv   keyword: "kapu pieminekļi".  According to webmaster tools it went from 13 to 4-2. The problem is that in orgranic search i keep seeing the keyword on the second page and the CTR of the keyword did not change at all. Why would webmaster tools show false data?
