Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why Google Visits us So regularly I mean some day thrice a day ?

Hi,

We get alot of visits from this IP below... Whats this ?

| Host Name: | google-proxy-66-249-85-8.google.com | Browser: | IE 8.0 |
| IP Address: | 66.249.85.8 — [Label IP Address] | Operating System: | WinVista |
| Location: | Mountain View, California, United States | Resolution: | 1024x768 |

Hello,

Simply I will recommend you to focus on New Website. It takes less effort to Rank then to get back your website after penalty.

Thanks

Hello,

I Will recommend you to change your anchor text links to the image links. After Penguin you cannot build anchor text backlinks so do it with images..

Perfect example is Wooecommerce website they have alot of image backlinks and they are sitting on top spots.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

I Strongly recommend you to See this Video : http://moz.com/blog/handling-duplicate-content-across-large-numbers-of-urls

Some great ideas.

thanks

I also have the Same Problem as My client is Using Volusion So I am also Going for blog.website.com. Thanks

Hey Dave,

It's unfortunate but very much true. I have experimented this with dozens of site

• Deleting thousands of artificial links
• Disavow links
• Fixing Anchors

but recovery is always not  measured up to expectations. I tried different with couple of sites (Penguin 2.1), I never remove back-links

• Just build more quality links

and recovery is far better.

I feel, deleting even spamy links leads to loss of link juice which brings things further down for a while.

Hey,

Another Shock! Things are coming harder and harder. I am reading it out from last 2 hours. Here are all related sources

This is going to hurt lots and lots of websites!

Hey Ryan,

You team did most of good things

• Fixing On Page Issues
• Removing Low Quality, Anchor Based Links (Manually or Disavow)
• 3 to 4 Blogs Posts per week

You have done all things recommended by experts but you miss a big thing

• Generating More Quality links

By deleting or disavowing hundreds of links, lots of link juice had been dropped. you need to build more quality links like

• Few Quality Guest Posts (Non Anchor Based For Sure)
• Few Top Business Directories (Yellow Page, Yelp, Merchant Circle etc)
• If its is a local business, few quality local directories (State-wise or City-wise)
• Lots of Social Sharing (Google Plus especially)
• Goolge Plus Local Page if not yet
• May be Google Authorship if feasible

and others. This will neutralize power lost due to removed links.

Good Luck!

Regards

Hey Brent,

Both websites seem to be cached recently

1. Echelonseo.com: Cached on 3rd Feb, 2014, check yourself cache:www.echelonseo.com

2. Jneelco.com: Cached on 2nd Feb, 2014: check yourself cache:jneelco.com

How do you assume that Home Pages are not indexed?

I hope this will help!

Regards

Go here : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1

Submit your URL and it will get Indexed within few Seconds

Check this Video Out : http://moz.com/blog/handling-duplicate-content-across-large-numbers-of-urls

Hi,

Your Onpage Looks Good as You have keyword in title and on the Page content. So Its all down to Some strong backlinks and You will Probably be on First page.

Thanks

Hey Nacny,

Moosa recommends the simplest way.

You can set

• Width, Height, Show faces, Border, Color, Stream

You will get 2 codes

Code 1: Javascript, you will have to place within your body. May be in footer or header

Code 2: Where you wan to place it either in sidebar or footer or anywhere!

That's a way!

Regards

Hey,

Depending upon authority, other pages are getting indexed earlier than yours. Best thing to avoid this thing

1. Submit Your Sitemap in Webmaster Tools to make your indexing fast
2. Whenever you add a blog post, make it indexed through this Google Tool: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url This works pretty quick.
3. Socialize your blog post immediately

I hope this will help the cause!

Regards

Hey Adam,

This is not a surprising story. I am evident of such hundreds of cases. Have a look at case study where a company using same tactics ranking spot 2 for "SEO Services" in Google Australia: updatedseo.info/what-a-shame-penguin-2/

Still I strongly believe

• Your competitor is not going to stick for long. He will be washed out in next update which I am sensing very shortly

But I get surprised sometimes

• It is easy to build such links and get ranked for 2 or 3 months. Get hit and build another website and get ranked for next few months as well. Is it not hurting to companies that are doing right things from years and get outranked by such websites?

Did you saw this Video by Rand : http://moz.com/blog/handling-duplicate-content-across-large-numbers-of-urls

It will give you Quite a Good idea What to Do..

Whats your Website Address ? http://www.lemienozze.it/gallerie/torte-nuziali-foto/ ? If yes then I can See indirect referral to your website and Sometime Google shows it in webmaster tools.

You Need to create awesome Content in case of you. I think You need to create unique Images that People are looking for to use in their Blogs/Website...

If you create awesome stuff, People will share/recommend your Website to others..

Hey,

It will be very unfair to advise without analyzing website in terms of On Page and Back-links.

Just a favor, similar issue happened with one of our USA based client last week. Complete collapse in rankings suddenly but rankings got backed within 2 days. That was mysterious. I wish the same for your client!

Still, without analysis, we can't identify issues! There could be one or more reasons

• Some Sort of Robot
• Back-links Issues (Anchors, Diversity, Quality)

or others.

Hello,

This is more than tricky. I have witnessed websites that are ranking high doing the same practices (Most of Internet Marketing Companies, Web Design Companies, Themes, Plugins etc) but such link schemes have costed thousands and thousands of websites.

Here is example of one big brand victimized recently by such link schemes

• http://searchengineland.com/google-has-officially-penalized-rap-genius-for-link-schemes-180777

There are hundreds of such examples. So if you like to move this way

• Use Non Money Anchor (May be Brand Name)
• Make sure to turn link into "Nofollow"

I strongly agree with Travis! Nice advice in deed!

I hope that this will help!

Is the Keyword You are going after is in the Description of the fanpage ? The Short description under the name. If no then Go ahead and add that..

You can See Here   that We are ranking Well. thanks

Hey Joanne,

Your website could be victim of Penguin 2.1 (launched on 4th Oct, 2013) Lets analyze possible issues with your back-links

Back-links Analysis

• Money Anchors: This is the biggest issue of all. More than 50% of anchors are money: http://screencast.com/t/jC8wtH6Ijwj. This is not a desirable situation
• No Social Shares: Hardly any social shares: http://screencast.com/t/IUSEORZ69o
• Most of links From Directories and Social Book-marks: This is not an ideal situation. good to be divers. Few Guest Posts, Few Press Releases, Few Local Directories, Few Business Directories.

Starting with disavowing is good but disavow could further lower rankings and you are going to lose link juice. So, buid quality links to make amends for it.

Additionally few On Page Tweaks can help

• Title Tags are over-optimized. More than 70 characters
• Try to crawl your website through Moz and find other SEO Issues regarding Meta, Content, Semantic, Images etc
• Product Categories making things duplicate (Agree with Alan)
• Loading Speed needs some work
• Making your website responsive will be another good thing
• Hardly any internal linking. Need to improve it

I hope that will help

Regards

Hey Andy,

You are Doing What is Required.

Let me show you some examples

Google Official Blog: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/01/affiliate-programs-and-added-value.html

Moz Blog: http://moz.com/blog/personas-understanding-the-person-behind-the-visit

They are doing lots of internal linking! This is a good practice in deed..

So Dont Worry What Someone has told you... Keep doing the Internal linking

Hey Keith,

Looking very much optimized for Home Page

• Title Tag: 66 Characters, Optimized with keyword
• Meta Description: 156 Characters, Nicely optimized with keywords
• Meta Keywords: Missing. I know Google does'nt count it but it works for Bing. So, adding them will be a plus.
• H1: Optimized
• Content: San Francisco 4 Times which is acceptable!

So overall optimized! But you need to work on your other inner pages, they need some efforts as well1

I hope, this will help!

Regards

Hey Daniel,

You might be looking to use these landing pages for PPC. Just make them "nonindex" through robot to avoid duplicate issues with your website! Please make sure that it will be implemented with care.

Regards

Hey Shawn,

You can get estimations of CPC through Adwords Keyword Tool or Keyword Spy!

But I agree with Adam, it's more theoratical! CPC depends upon

• Quality Score of keyword

Which is derived from 3 Things

• Click Through Rate
• Quality of Ad
• Landing Page Experience

Overall performance of campaign depend upon many other factors as well!

I hope this will help!

Regards

Hello Alan,

You should Optimize pages First.. Well Optimized Pages with Good Quality backlinks Will get you Required Rankings.

As a Start, Optimize your Web pages in regards to your Keywords and then start building backlinks.

Thanks

I totally agree with you on this.

Wiki Pages links are Nofollow'ed So They do not pass link juice to the external pages.

But Wiki links are still valuable as it adds authority/diversity  as well as traffic too.

Thanks

Hey Keith,

Let's discuss things one by one

1. Title Tags

• Too long! It must be around 60 Characters with spaces (Some Suggests 70 as well). So, try to fix it
• Be unique for every page. Like for About Page, you can use "About | San Francisco's Leading Video Production Company". For Services "Video Production Services San Francisco". Search more keywords for your business (Google Keywords Tool)
• Use your brand as blog title. Using keyword is not very recommended as it leads to increase length and over -optimization

2. Meta Description

• Unique description of around 160 words with proper optimization of keywords is ideal
• Your Meta descriptions are not optimized at moment. Please optimize them

3. URL Structure

• Optimized URL is not all about placing keywords in URL
• Deliver authority to your pages and they will start to rank

I hop this will help!

Regards

Hi Tyler

I am With you on bad URL Configuration. I think it should be Properly Configured as It will Also Help Visitors coming from Search Engine as well as Search Engines as well..

It has a Very Simple Solution : Make More Optimized URL's and Redirect these indexed pages to the New One's.

I also checked your Blog URLs and Man it looks horrible. You need to make them Better Optimized.

Thanks

No, Google Loves Internal linking and zappos are doing an awesome Job by linking Pages..

I will Recommend you to do Internal linking. If you go to Google Official Blog, you will see they interlink Alot.

Also, Penguin has nothing to do with Internal linking..

So Go ahead and Do it.

Thanks

Hey Varun,

As far as

• Web Design
• Web Pages

are concerned, no real issues.

• Same content. This is absolute disaster. You need to rewrite content for websites. Make it unique for each one. You can use this: copyscape.com. Learn more about it: http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content
• Use different Meta Tags for each website as well

I hope, this helps!

Regards

Hey Alessio,

Few things to consider

• Domain Authority is low. Love to see few more back-links (Just 4 Links at moment)
• Meta Description of Home Page is too short. It should be around 100 to 160 Characters. Run Moz Audit and check other pages as well
• Love to see more social shares. Try to share your pages on Google Plus, Twitter, Facebook. Use tags to get pages shared by others

This will help!

Regards

Hey Man,

Its a Great start and from the metrics you have shown Looks like a Very Good backlink.

hey, Why not help the community by explaining how do you get this backlink ? I hope you wont mind

Thanks

Hey Doug,

Thanks for your feedback!

I have checked different combinations that could be keywords of a particular page and it's surprising to see right title tags for some keywords and different titles for some keywords.

My websites are ranking and improving! This is happening with Home Page of one website is well: metalrecyclers-brisbane.com.au!

Tricky in deed! Thanks for your reply btw

Regards

Hello Everyone,

I have a same problem with my 3 websites that Google is not showing right title tags of inner pages of my websites

1. goldcoast-plumbers.com: http://screencast.com/t/2AEzDcoTkWF
2. accountants-goldcoast.com.au:
3. metalrecyclers-brisbane.com.au

One common thing is all these websites is

• All in one SEO Pack Plugin for SEO

Is it a problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards

This is extremely funny. A bold guy is offering Matt Cutts something he is going to love...Lolzzzzzzz

A part of it. Sometimes, I get confused. Let me recall

• Google spammed millions of websites on April, 2012 (Penguin 1) on account of low quality directories (I got an email from an eCommerce Store which was penalized by Unnatural Notice. Somehow we could not make agreement. But I analyzed his back-links. Just hundreds and hundreds of low quality directories nothing else)
• On 20th Oct, 2013. I got email from same source with amazing words "We have started to get leads from our website suddenly. We havn't done anything on it in last 1 and half year. We are ranking on many keywords as well"

Directory Submission was crushed and now we can see directories pages ranking even for competitive keywords.

Similarly, Guest Blogging (Particularly For SEO Purposes) was promoted too much in last 1 year and I was anticipating this from last couple of months. Finally, it comes. Don't worry. Guest blogging will be revived in next few updates;)

Guest Blogging for branding purposes (Nofollow Linking) will not be penalized by the way!

Regards

Hey Anton,

As far as links pointing to other pages of website, no problems as they belongs to internal linking which is nice in deed!

But for links pointing to other websites (Clients), please apply no-follow attribute to them as they are currently passing authority of your website and this is not an ideal thing!

Regards

Hey Andrew,

This issue comes with new websites with low authority! Currently you have

• Just 21 Referring Domains

Try to link with more. Your Anchors are non-money which is a good thing in deed but you can use your Brand as Anchor "FS Studio" This will help to get visible on Google for your brand name.

Currently your anchors are not pointing to your Brand Name at all: http://screencast.com/t/nHfp4tjQpmb

Best of luck!

Hey Mike,

Linking GP listing to citations is good idea. It's gonna help. Few more things that can push

1. Try to get reviews on GP. Push your customers to give reviews. That will help for sure
2. Try to activate Google Plus Local Page Associated. Do regular posts, try to get more Google Plus for your page. This will be going to help
3. Optimize your Google Place if not yet. This will help: http://moz.com/blog/optimizing-your-google-places-page

Hello,

Let's try to compare you with your competitor

http://ocpatentlawyer.com/

• Hundreds of indexed pages. Have a blog. That's a good sign
• Meta Tags are not optimized at all i.e Title Tags, Meta Description. That is absolutely essential
• Content quality is good but not optimized with keywords
• Around 1000 Back-links with Non Money Anchors. This is really encouraging
• Social Sharing is on but need to boast to significant level

http://www.jafaripatentlaw.com/

• Optimized Meta Tags. Really Nice!
• More Than 300 Indexed Pages. A blog as well. Very Nice!
• Content Optimized with keywords
• Around 1600 Back-links

Remarks

• I am really happy with current position of your website. With proper On Page and few more quality back-links (In Compliance with Best Practices) could turn things significantly in few months
• Social Sharing need a push
• Keep on blogging. You are doing really a nice job.

I hope, this will help!

Hello,

Building citations will strengthen your Google Place/Google Plus Local Page. With Humming Bird, Google loves to see Google Plus Activation. So, keep on sharing your pages, blogs on your Google Plus Local Page (Use Tags) and it will benefit your overall SEO cause!

So, building citations is not worthless. It gonna help you indirectly!

I hope, this will help!

Regards

If you have recently added your website to Google Webmaster Tools, this could be due to www & non.www issue. Might be, you have submitted http://www.abc.com where most of back-links built on http://abc.com. Remove this one and try to add other version. This could be your case!

I hope, this will help!

Hello Everyone,

I am analyzing and working on recovery of some sites that were hit by Penguin 2.1 on 4th Oct, 2013. I have done almost all fixes including

• Anchor Variations
• Social Sharing
• Local Links
• Diversity in Back-links

but still not witnessed any real recovery.

Is anyone witnessed

• Partial or Complete Recovery From Penguin 2.1?

Thanks for your feedback in advance!

Regards
