Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi all, thanks for your comments.  Looks like it wouldn't do any harm if I had a small brand logo placed on each image.  Will have a think and probably just go for it.

Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback.  I was thinking about a small brand logo bottom right or left of each image.  Nothing instrusive.  For the feeds it would be clean images.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

I am in the process of creating new images for my products to use on my website.  Are there any advantages or disadvantages of watermarking each image?  Is there an SEO impact good or bad?  I am aware that filename and Alt tags are important, but am unsure if google dislikes watermarked images.

GWT->Optimization->Content Keywords section... If we click on the keyword it will further shows the variants and Top URLs containing those variants. My problem is none of the important pages like product details pages, homepage or category pages are present in that Top URLs list. All the news, guides section url's are listed in the Top URLs section for most important keyword that is also present in my domain name. How to make google realize the important pages for the important keyword?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for your comments.  I appreciate you views on focusing on the quality content and user experience, its just that after making so many changes with it having little benefit I am at a loss as to what the best options are.  We have had no messages regarding links or manual penalties in our WMT.  Our domain name is a partial EMD but I am not convinced that this is the issue.  The majority of our main competitors have pretty much kept their rankings so I am guessing it may be down to our link profile which we have cleaned up.  The only other option(I think) is to re-design the site from the ground up to see if this has a positive impact.  I am just concerned about doing more harm than good by taking this approach without understanding clearly the risks involved and what we should be looking out for.

Thanks again

Hi Community,

one of my sites was affected by panda penguin and then EMD updates last year. All our google 1st page rankings were lost and we have spent the last few months trying to recover the situation.  Changed content, meta tags, meta titles, disavowed links, changed navigation structure among other things.  We are now at a point where we are thinking of scrapping the whole thing and re-coding the site.  Before we make the decision I wanted to ask what the main risks and points are that we need to consider. Are there any useful guides to help us make an informed judgment?  Also, if we were to re-do the site and also change the domain name what are the implications of this and what needs to be considered.  I'd really appreciate some advice as this is a major step for us.

Thanks

Hi Irving Weiss,

Thanks for reply.

What type of penalization? And now i am ranking for guides pages for main keywords.

Could you please suggest us how to resolve this?

My website is e-commerce and used to rank for all industry related keywords like buy widgets, cheap widgets, online widgets in top10.

And suddenly my website was hacked and to resolve this hacking issue i have re-write all my dynamic urls into static pages after that new pages are indexed and ranking well. But after few months i have notice few changes in keywords ranking going down. But suddenly after Google Algo (EMD/Panda) update on Sept 27 i lost all my positions. And then according to Google guidelines i have worked on over optimization and low quality pages. I have removed all tones of low quality pages from SERP and simultaneously worked on url re-write.

But i have notice small percent of changes in keyword positions like when Google Algo (EMD/Panda) is rolled out i lost my keyword positions from 1st page to 200 page and after working on over optimization and low quality pages the keywords are came back to 100 pages.

Recently i have notice that my web pages ranking for irrelevant keywords. For example, let's say i used to rank for home page for these keywords; buy widgets, cheap widgets, online widgets but now am ranking for different inner pages say (guide pages).

Can any one suggest me whats wrong..

After realizing there are long url's and long titles we made changes to our portal and how to ignite a re-crawl after making changes.
