Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Oh that is great. I've used it before but then I read somewhere in google tutorials that it can cause problems if you use it when it's not an emergency.

I was reorganizing my blog and deleted several categories. Of course now Google Webmasters is coming up with a bunch of 404 errors. How do I fix this?

Thanks. Articles and message boards around the time my blog lost organic traffic overnight talked about a google panda update.

I have looked at SEO websites but my blog is too small to pay $500 or more for some help.

I do have some 404 errors to fix. I am working on that too. But i don't think it's big enough of a problem to cause me to get no organic traffic.

I know I have work to do but it feels hopeless at this point since six months of work has not improved anything.

Yes I realize that. That is my problem. I am not ranking on the first page and nothing is improving my rankings. I do keyword research but it is not as simple as that.

My blog is not even a year old. It was ranking very well at first because I was getting awesome (authentic) backlinks. I have no sketchy backlinks that I know if and I check open explorer all the time as well as google webmasters. I have no manual actions in webmasters. I think the problem was thin content and maybe affiliate links.

1. I am now using a plugin to make external links nofollow with some exceptions.

2. As far as thin content, some of my earlier posts was very short due to the nature of my blog. They are still very useful to my readers but under 300 words. I am using a word count plugin to slowly noindex the older, short posts. I just started that and it's time consuming.

I rank # 1 for one keyword that doesn't give me much traffic and a few others above the 50th spot but I get no traffic. Most I do not rank for at all. I feel like I was blacklisted.

I am increasing my Facebook likes and pinterest followers but haven't focused on twitter yet. My newsletter is growing. I have written 2 guest posts with original content for the top blog in my genre. I am doing other good things but I won't bore you.

Nothing helps.

Does MOZ do more than churn out report after report? I do appreciate the useful information about my keyword rankings and from the crawls - the report cards are great too. But I need my site analyzed. I need to know what about my blog as a whole is wrong. I did very well with google traffic until the summer when my traffic plummeted overnight due to a Google Panda update/tweak.

I have been working really hard and I know I am doing the right things (I got 28K unique visitors this past month and people are sticking around) but I still get basically no organic traffic. Is there a feature in Moz that can tell me what is broken? Like an SEO Audit? I feel that there are things I am missing that are more technical and I don't know how to find out what they are.

I looked at Moz's recommended companies but they are all for huge blogs and websites. I cannot afford those fees. My blog is small but growing and was hit by a Google Panda tweak back in July. My organic traffic disappeared overnight and although I've been working hard to improve my blog, I still get no organic traffic after being on the first page. I would like to pay someone to look at my site and give me help but I cannot pay what these huge companies are asking for. Any advice?

My blog, which started in May, is doing really well except with Google. My traffic is growing and so are my subscribers etc but my keywords have very high competition. I don't really like google's new keyword research tool. Any advice for finding keywords I have a chance with? I am only ranking in the top 50 for one keyword (#1-2 spot) but it doesn't give me a lot of traffic. Thanks!
