Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Chris,

I am just at a loss. Based on my Moz reports my keywords are maintaining their rank but I have seen a massive drop in traffic and my domain authority and rank has tanked. I cant explain how my keywords maintain their rank but I continue to drop in traffic. Yes it could be that other keywords where driving the traffic but all of this is just driving me nuts.

I do not know if the Pinguin and Panda updates will continue to hurt me going forward and this is why I was considering consolidating the sites and removing any old links that could possibly be harming me.

I do not know how to proceed.

Hello Mihai,

Bad choice of words on my part. I do not know if they are gone. How do I check this? From the looks of the report they are longer are there but do I need to do anything else? Will those old links continue to haunt me? Sorry for the questions

I had someone help me with SEO and they basically used some stupid form to get back-links  I am still learning and have taken over my site to better do things right. I have had a major drop across the board since Panda and Pinguin and rightfully so from what I am seeing.

My question is: Google obviously removed the backlinks and SEO MOZ shows this in its report. Do I need to disavow these links still or can I just focus on link building properly? What is the best course of action here?

I have a main domain and a sub domain that both were  doing very well and after looking at the Moz history its obvious that panda and penguin affected my site considerably. My keywords are holding rank but my search results and traffic are way down.

My question is if I just take my subdomain (which is really my bread an butter shopping cart) and I consolidate my sub domain with my main domain would this help?

I would basically make my main domain the shopping cart and make them one site.

This should change the links to all the sites. The problem is I will lose the backlinks if I do not do a 301 but I do not want to bring bad links over and my keywords are holding rank.

What to do?
