Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Just a bump on this one.

We added Href Lang Tags last week (one unique to the US, one that would appear only to those in the UK & Ireland) and had the site recrawled and reindexed, but this issue is still appearing with the American spelling appearing in the Meta Info in Google's index - despite being present nowhere on the page or the page source.

Anyone have any ideas on possible resolutions to this one?

Hi Logan,

No, this is the only page with dynamic content causing an issue.

The US is one of the key markets, alongside the UK & Ireland so unfortunately dynamic content like this would be ideal.

No target country is set, but I will put this suggestion to the team. Thanks.

Hi Logan,

Many thanks for your suggestion, I will put that to the team.

The only differences in content will be the spelling of jewelry vs jewellery. This is already the case, throughout the page.

On Google, both the meta description and the URL are correctly displaying as "jewellery" as it should for the UK & Ireland. The issue with the US spelling is only impacting the Page Title itself...

Hi Alick,

Many thanks for your response.

Are you based in the USA? What I should have mentioned is that the website was built for Meta Information to be inputted for both US and UK & Ireland audiences.

So any searches from the US should infact render jewelry, whereas from my location (in Ireland), it should render jewellery. When I check the source code, there is only the jewellery spelling and no appearances of jewelry at all within the source code.

Hi,It would be great if a member of the community could help me to resolve this issue.Google is indexing an incorrect spelling on of our key pages and we can't identify the reason why.- The page in question: https://newbridgesilverware.com/jewelleryAs you can see from the attached image, the Meta Title is rendered to contain the keyword "jewelry" (the American spelling.) We want this to read as "jewellery" - the British-English spelling. Yet in the page source the word is given in the meta title as "jewellery". Nowhere in the page source or on the page itself does the American spelling appear - yet Google still renders it in the Meta Title.Can anyone identify why this is happening and offer any possible solutions?Much appreciated

Our client's business www.shanore.com is based in Ireland but targets international markets, particularly the USA.

A few months ago we made the switch to HTTPS and ever since our organic traffic has steadily declined in the USA, UK, Canada etc. by roughly 30 - 40%. In Ireland, over the same period of time it's increased by around 30%.

An Irish address features in the Footer and the same address is also given on Google + / Google My Business. Webmaster Tools is set to target the USA & the site is hosted in the USA.

Could the presence of the Irish address somehow be overriding the Webmaster Tools geo-targeting? Why would traffic fall everywhere else apart from Ireland? Keyword rankings are also now stronger in Ireland than in other countries.

Nope,  we can do that if it makes a difference but with the jump being so significant I'm not sure this is the only reason.  Will do that in a few mins.

We had done that at the same time as the switch. It's hosted in the states

Sorry, shanore.com

Hi Guys, A sticky one for ye. I have recently updated my site  selling Jewelry in April of this year. Overall, Local Irish organic traffic has been stronger than ever in the first half of 2015. Yet in the USA, since March it's been at it's weakest for years, declining month-on-month. In terms of Organic Traffic for May & June, there's been a 30% increase in visitors from Ireland when compared to last year.  Yet for the USA - the biggest market for us- there has been a 39% decrease this year over the same dates. It's the same for language demographics. Big decrease for en-US, but increases for en-IE and en-GB. It's not just the US. The site has taken a hit in Canada, Australia etc.So domestically the website looks to be performing better than ever before since the HTTPS switch, but it has taken a big hit internationally in our key market.We are targeting USA in search console, not changed any of the content in the site however he have added an SSL cert to make the whole site HTTPS like google said :)Any pointers are welcome

We;ve found that the large dip in traffic coincides with the change from http to https, but as far as we can see we've done everything correctly when making the change.

Thanks for your response!

We haven't been hit by any manual penalties, although I am noticing a large and sudden drop in our Index Status...

To clarify, I meant to say that it's a relatively new site design. We've been on the web for years and only recently suffered a dip in organic traffic that we can't reverse.

Our website is struggling to generate organic traffic over the past few months and we're lost as to why.

It's a relatively new site. It's mobile friendly, all products have meta descriptions and product images have alt tags. Content is added regularly.

Site speed could be better and alt tags need to be added to images on the blog but other than that we're stumped.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys,

I am finding that a number o my sites pages are not mobile friendly despite my homepage being so. will this have an effect on my rankings and should i get it full redsigned to be mobile friendly?

Hi Guys,

I am getting Self-Referrals in my Google analytics, how can I get rid of These?

Guys,

one of my sites are coming up as "hacked in Google". I have looked for the link they are suggesting but cannot find it in the database. I have tried to resubmit but they are saying It is against the terms of service.

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the answer and the link, We will add it to that pingfarm. Thanks guys but we need to make sure this is in order.

Hi Tom,

Thanks a million for the great answer. I missed that in my description, we have added in 301 redirects for all links but still saw a drop. My apologies, I left that out initially.

We have also identified that we are missing a number of H1's and have changed our title tags.

Hey guys,

We moved our site to from http to https. We subsequently lost 25% in our search traffic in 1 Month. We changed a few other pieces such as images, added new content etc.

Has anyone got any suggestions on how we start to understand what happened?

Thanks in advance.

When in Open Site Explorer there seems to be an error getting the data for http://vagabondtoursofireland.ie/ or www.vagabondtoursofireland.ie

I have used this with other websites and have never had a problem.

Thanks.

HI Guys,

I need help with a one page site

What is the best method to getting the lower pages indexed?

Linking back to the site(Deeplinking) is looking impossible. Will this hurt my SEO?

Are there any other tips on one page websites that you can recommend?

What I would say is that you need to know what CMS you are using.

Damn it, nice answer, you beat me to the punch

I would say that you want to keep it n the same domain. If you use an m. version of the site, you can keep it on the same sub-domain.

A second option would be to use the same page structure and use 301 redirects so you can move across the link juice from all the back-links.

The obvious first choice is to redesign and slowly integrate however this is not an option here.

Hi Guys,

I am looking for examples of good internal linking structure. I have read that it helps my SEO but im not sure what they mean by saying it.

What are the best ways to rank your product pages, We have a few ecommerce sites and we want to increase the position of both our product and catagory pages. I know that gaining more popularity will help to increase the DA but I want my product pages to rank higher.

Hi Guys,

I am launching a site across the US, UK and UAE. Do I go **test.com/uk   test.com/us   test.com/UAE -- **or do I go us.Test.com UAe.test.com us.test.com? Which is best for SEO?

So I spent ages creating amazing content and have loads of interest in it from my social media and people visiting my site are reading deep into it. I have so far not been able to get anyone to link to it. What am I doing wrong???

Hi,

I am having the same problem ( the button is inactive (greyed out)). but I cannot combine the queries as there is none available. I have -14 of 25 queries but cannot see where the -14 is coming from.

Thanks for that Chris,

makes sense

Hey Guys I am finding that my Moz tool isn't showing links that are definitely there like from social media etc. Also links that are there about 4-5 months are not showing either! am i doing something wrong?

I am not ranking for any of my keywords despite getting a number of Backlinks to my pages and mentioning them in both content and meta tags?!
