One more question, Is this more question of on-page optimization, or amount and quality of link still can change rank position?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Actually, I've just checked Google search again and site#3 disappear from top20 for the same key word.
I've tried to compare pages #1 and #6 by content, for me they have the same level of content - just category page from eCommerce site.
Any way thanks a lot. We will try to dig deeper.
Thanks
At the and of my picture there are statistics from On-Page Report Card
http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/on-page-keyword-optimization
For the same keyword that was used for search.
2 and 4 do not look perfect there too.
Can we discuss this part?
I've made Google US search and than tried to compare SEOMOZ data for first few result. I've used Open Site Explorer and On-Page Report Card. On attached picture you can find this statistic. Pages are sorted in order as they appear in Google search.
For me is big question why position 2 and 4 is so hight and 6 is only 6. And what position 6 should do to go up.
Thank you.
This explains even more, thanks.
Thanks a lot for this. Explain a lot, but still big amount of deindexed sites as for me. Any way thanks.
I was reviewing Historical Domain Analysis and found that in last 2 month we lost almost 10000 external followed links. What this could be? is this real or just question seomoz crawling?
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=189077
Situation:www.example.ca - canadian IP and https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/settings:"Your site's domain is currently associated with the target: Canada" - done long time ago.<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.ca/" /> <link< span="">rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://www.example.com/" /></link<><link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-ca" href="http://www.example.ca/" /><link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/" />```
www.example.com - US IP and
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/settings:
"Geographic target Target users in: United States"
Differences: Prices and some minor changes in design.
cache:www.example.com - shows .ca version,
with snapshot's date after rel="alternate" had been added.
Results: In usexample.com pages do not appear in search results.
Some times www.example.ca pages do,
but they are even close so well ranked as example.com pages before.
Question: What we are doing wrong?</link<>
How we can post private Q&A here?
And could this duplication be reason of this http://www.seomoz.org/q/main-page-deindexed-by-google?
3 days ago our main page('/') has stopped appear in google results. Rest of pages works fine. Even our main page from canadian version of site with similar content works fine. Some times canadian page appears for key word where we had our com version before. But I think this is just result of disappearing com version. Any suggestion were to look? Messages box in google webmastertools is empty. Could this be the question too long page title?
PS: Does any way exist to check if we were punished by Google and reason of this?
For Bing and Yahoo everything works fine.
PPS: We have just found that "cache:our_site.com" and "info:our_site.com" returns in google our_site.ca. So this should be reason of problem. So now we are looking how to fix this.
Thank you.
About (2) We use canonical tag almost for all our online store pages, but look like it is not working correctly. I'm not sure if this issue of seomoz crawling or this canonical tag is wrong.
Sorry for probably stupid question. But we are asking it ourself during last few month and can't make a decision.
After reading this article (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whats-better-on-page-seo-or-link-building) it is hard to say which case is for us.
We have the eCommerce site, but we are using category pages in addition to eCommerce. So we put on this page images, specifications and videos for a bunch of products. On the specific product page from eCommers we have only general information about products and a canonical tag that goes to the category page described above. This was done to avoid duplication content for similar products. So we concentrated on these main category pages.
SEOmoz shows to us:
Duplicate Page Content - 179 (why is canonical tag not working?),
Duplicate Page Title - 746 (why is canonical tag not working?),
Long URL (> 115 characters) - 117
Temporary Redirect - 1,306(eCommerce login redirect)
Title Element Too Short - 63
Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters) - 2,357(why is canonical tag not working?),
Too Many On-Page Links - 616
Missing Meta Description Tag - 873(why is canonical tag not working?),
For main pages, on-page reports look like:
Factor Overview
Critical Factors 4 / 4
High Importance Factors 4 / 7
Moderate Importance Factors 8 / 9
Low Importance Factors 7 / 11
Optional Factors 3 / 5
And according to SEOmoz we have 7,865 External Followed Links
So please help us to decide which case from article is the best for us.
Thank you.
We have e-Commerce site and an official blog to give advice about our products. This blog exists under our domain. Usually we build links directly to our site. Recently our ranking started going down. Also, we have been experiencing backlash for spam based on our link building (we are working on this, including a change of staff,but we cannot be sure that this will not happen again). This backlash has come through our social networking outlets (Facebook) in the form of very negative posts to our pages. One of our "SEOs" has devised a plan to use secondary blogs which we would start building links for. This blog would contain links back to our website. The idea is that the blog acts as a gate in a sense, in this way backlash is either posted on the blog or is directed at the blog. Also, we would be attempting to raise the page authority of these secondary blogs so in essence they act as high page authority links back to our website. The concern is that these secondary blogs may undermine the legitimacy of the official primary blog, which is still in its early stages as far as ranking and authority goes. Also, we are concerned that this technique would further undermine the legitimacy of the website itself by creating a larger "spam-like" presence, since visitors may see through the use of the secondary link through blogs.
We compared our and competitor pages.
And we have got next statistics:
Internal Followed Links: 184 4,496
We are thinking about changing our shopping cart links format from
/product_info.php?products_id=3547 to /product_name.html
This should increase "number of our pages" and "number of links" from them.
But in case a description of products from the same category often is very similar. We worry about duplicating page content.
Could you give any advice in that situation? Do Internal Links play a big role in page rank?
Thanks.
PS: at attached image you can find full page metrics from open site explorer. Our metrics are at left, competitors - right.
I'm new in SEO, so sorry if i ask already discussed questions.
After some search I still have questions that i need to confirm if i am right:
1. Google calculate only first link from some domain (for example domain1.com) on some page (domain2.com/page1). So this is good to create other link on page domain2.com/page2 but no reason on domain2.com/page1. Right?
2. Plural and singular forms of search words. We can be top ranked for plural form and out of top50 for singular form. What is best practise to be top ranked for both?
3. Google images. We have changed image file names and added alt and title option. There are any other way to go on top?
how long does it take for google see my new backlins and take an effect on my rank?
