Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi

Its a common problem, just check this items:

• You are linking to the landing page from homepage with anchor text?
• you have exact landing page keywords in your homepage title and metas?
• your homepage shouldn't optimize for the landing page keywords
• start building links to landing page to show to Google the right page to rank

Yes we have a great decrease in bounce rate cause of introducing our new community page.

All of other competitors bought backlinks, but ours is natural. I never bought links for myself or clients. Now I don't know how to compete with this kinda backlink profiles.

I know things you said George; All of other keywords are growing and our organic visits increased by 30% in the last months. Just this keyword felt down!

Hi bruce,

thanks for your comment;

I should explain something:

• we have over than 200 quality content about our topics
• we are writing contents
• our community page generate contents, too
• all of our links are natural, but competitors bought links and has lots of low quality
• we work on our performance, monitoring and ..

I don't know why we should rank lower than other SEO agency who completely bought links for their site and I don't know how customers accept this and work with them!

Hi

about 4 months ago, I had ranking #1 to #4 for "SEO" in Persian in my country; but someone made about 1000 spam links to my site and some other industry sites. I disavowed the links when I see (after 2-3 days of OSE detection). But now I'm in the page 2 of rankings for the most important keyword I ever had.

The point is, My visits increased in this months, but I lost my rankings for this keyword not others. The spammy links targeted my main keyword.

Whats you idea to get my ranking back? I'm writing content about SEO, Marketing and blogging for about 4 years and I don't have any bad resume in buying links or stuffing keywords or ... All natural.

Yes. you should move your contents to your new host and redirect your old domain to new one.

Yes. Simply park your domain on your new hosting and redirect it using this code.

yes; all of your old links move to new domain without hurting your SEO. Its a permanent redirection called 301.

They made a new company page and asked users to follow the new one.

Hi

I remember Moz had this problem when they was transforming from SEOmoz to Moz; they couldn't change their URL from SEOmoz to Moz and they made another company page.

Hi

Maybe its a sandbox effect. I suggest you to wait for another week, make contents and update, build brand name and generic links and track the results. I use this strategy when my new site drop like this and it worked.

and another thing, check your content keywords in WMT, if your main keyword is in top 3, you should decrease using it; I had a experience of this, Google thought we are doing keyword stuffing.

Hi

its better to ask instead of not asking

First, you should host your old domain on your new site and use this htaccess code to redirect 301 all your urls to new domain(don't forget to change newdomain.com and yourdomain.com with your new and old site):

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

then you should submit a request in webmaster tools > change of address part to move your site authority completely.

Hi

I think its better to be "Blog"; users know what blog means, but other things (long keyword stuffs) is confusing them. If you want to use your keywords, use /blog/keyword-as-category.
