I am open to anything as long as you dont need a Software Engineering degree to know how to set it up!

I tried the Amazon AWS about 12 months ago for one of my domains but it seemed a bit too hard to work out how to actually set up the domain once it got registered, let alone upload any files!

I will check out Digital Ocean see what they offer thank you

Hoping that someone may be able to advise if they've come across a hosting plan that offers multiple server locations within 1 plan?

ie. One in Australia and another one in UK for example?

Now that I check rankings for isacleanse.co.nz (without the www.) the keywords are all ranking in the same spot they used to be... so what I can gather there is no issue but instead my 'rank tracker' for keywords within MOZ was updating the rankings for a www. when the rankings have now moved to the non www. site?

Does that make sense? I've now reinstated back the www. before the domain name as I prefer it this way.

I will still make those changes that you've mentioned above! Much appreciated

Thanks for your responses Frank & Krzysztof!

From what I can tell the site has been migrated and is now showing as isacleanse.co.nz and it used to have a www. before it - would this be the reason for the drop?

Feel free to mark it as 'good response' to help a brother out

My website - www.isacleanse.co.nz has dropped from being top10 rankings for all of my keywords to not even being in top 50 after just checking now.

It used to be hosted on: www.1stdomains.nz
It got migrated to Sitground servers about a month ago

See attached screenshot - would moving hosting provider cause such a huge drop? Or would there be anything else I should be looking at ?

I dont think there is an issue having these Indexed. I used to work in a bank in Australia and for every page that has the word MasterCard in it, we had to put the trademark logo the first time it's mentioned.

If you click the link below searching for those specific pages, ie. "mastercard bankwest" the pages come up in search results and even show the registered trademark logo.

https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=mastercard%20banwkest

So if you are having issues with these not coming up in Google, perhaps they are not seen by Google as important pages on the actual website as a whole so instead it's displaying other pages first?

Try searching for "site:sitename.com" in Google and go through all the results and it should give you an idea where it's cranked compared to other pages on your domain.

Hey Francisco

My back links were on websites that had content linking to po-rnography so was pretty easy to work out.

To work out if your backlinks are bad quality - you can use the MOZ Open Site Explorer

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/

This will show the links and domains linking to your website and their SPAM scores - you can click on the SPAM SCORE icon which will show you why it has marked it as that level etc.

I just saw in 'Just discovered' section of MOZ that 2 new backlinks have appeared back to my website - www.isacleanse.com.au from spammy websites which look like they might be associated with inappropriate content.

Any ideas if this is someone trying to send me negative SEO and best way to deal with it? 

Hi Logan - just had a proper look at all those domains and seems most of them are for US based businesses. Would you have a reference for anything on a global scale?

Thanks gents!

Hi this blog post Rand mentions a list of bad web directories - I asked couple of years ago if there is an updated list as some of these (Alive Directory for example) do not seem to be blacklisted anymore and are coming up in Google searches etc?

It seems due to old age of the blog post (7 years ago ) the comments are not responded to.

Would anyone be able to advise if which of these good directories to use?

Thanks Rand! That makes sense, I was under impression they will all show up eventually but it makes sense that they arent as comprehensive!

Just to add to Nicholas' question above about Site Explorer, I know some of the links to my website that have been around for over 12 months (ie from my personal blog) and show up in Google Webmaster tools are not flowing through to Moz

Any ideas?

Is this how you intended the site to work/ (ie as described above)

For example if you go to any of these 3 sites:
http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/
www.ticketek.com.au
www.bankwest.com.au

Then after that load their mobile site without deleting any cookies or changing any user agents, all the mobile sites load up straight away:

m.ticketmaster.com.au  
m.ticketek.com.au and
m.bankwest.com.au

Have a look through this Google Artilcle which might help:

http://m.avogel.ch/de/ihre-gesundheit/erkaeltung/alles_ueber_erkaeltungen.php - Mobile Page... are you 100% sure that is set up correctly? I've tried to load the mobile version in my browser and keeps redirecting me to full site. Even using the mobile emulator on Chrome I cant log up the mobile site keeps redirrecting to full site.

All other websites that I know that have a m. subdomain for mobile site load up with no issues at all in computer Browser.

Is the mobile site made using one of the Mobile Apps or something similar?

I would suggest try use Google Webmaster tools and use the 'Fetch & Render' option so you can see how Google is rendering the mobile page

Hi there

Have you tried to do any A/B Testing to see what converts better and has a higher engagement rate?

Services like Optimizely https://www.optimizely.com/ you can do free Live A/B Testing with very minimal coding required (apart from putting in the Optimizely script into the Body of the page)

Hi Jochen

DO you mind sharing the URLs in question?

Thanks for that, I've done my own summary of the article and how it relates to my business.

Just to be more specific so I know for future reference, the article is from an Australian Government body and a non profit organization who's goal is for this to be seen by as many people as possible, is this possibly the exception to the rule of contacting for permission?
