Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Nice to hear that and proud to help! nos vemos

You must no abandon because you still ranking on 1st and 2nd page for some hard keywords.

1- Make your site faster

2- Make it responsive

3- Improve your social media (specialy your circles and +1's) and clean your toxic backliks (if is the case)

4- Look for long tail keywords. For example, follow not only "photoshop course sydney"; set in the dashboard "photoshop courses at sydney" "learn photoshop at sydney"... and many more... Use the Adwords keyword tool to discover more usefull kwords

5- Rich your snippets! Being at 6th and 8th on the ranks, you could get more traffic and improve your CTR if your snipet were showing 5 stars ratings, your face (Authorship) or something special chars in the description (that in a lot of cases is taken from meta description)

Hello,

Duplicate content is a key factor in SEO, if Google thinks that your content si a copy from another site, the page copied will be penalised by the Panda algorithm.

If someone copies your content and is indexed earlier than you, then, your page will rank lower than your thief.

To prevent that, you must share the content immediately on Google Plus, and other SocialMedia and social bookmarks.

If Google thinks that all of your content is a copy, not only a page, but your entire site could suffer a penalty, or even a un-indexation.

if you think that your articles are being stolen or that you bought articles and the redactor is giving you copies from somewhere, you can chek that with copyscape.com

I hope to be usefull and easy to understand!

Google actually crawls 150kb, excluding css files, images, etc.

150kb is much more than 200 words, and the experiment suggested by Mr Bennett proves it.

I think that the answer to the re-question in your last reply is Yes.

Well... i'm not sure 100%

but I think that is better to have a community in G+ and link your url, but maybe i'm wrong

really i not tested two options face off... must to look this deeper...

Exactly Flo!!!

That's what I tried to say: Is not the same a "+1 to an URL" with a "+1 to a G+Page"

You can set it to your .com or set it to your G+Page url, To use both, you must use the Badge, not the Button

The best option I think is set the +1 to the Google Plus Page, and link it to your website url

Sorry for don't explain me clearly enough...

Hi! (Mira, alguien que habla español, si en realidad somos muchos)

So... i don't know if you can improve the Badge onto your page, but i think is the better option if possible https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/

Because it includes +1 to url and circles for the page

if not possible, you must decide what to do, because the button can be linked to an url, or to the url when it appears.

If set the box "URL to +1" with http://www.ibremarketing.com" i actually can see the 12 +1 you have

Hi Flo! (first, sorry for my english, i try to improve it)

I think that maybe you are confusig the +1 to an url, with the +1 to a Google Plus Page.

In your page ibremarketing.com you have the button with +12 because 12 users done +1 to www.ibremarketing.com

If you set the +1 button to your G+'s page, the url is not "ibremarketing.com", being google.com/yourpagesid (the url that i can see you set up in the box URL TO +1 to test the script). This second url have not any +1 at this moment, and is a different one.

So, there are two major options: +1 your own website's url, or +1 the Google Plus Page and follow it on Google Plus.

Is simmilar to facebook likes. I can like a url and recommend it, or i can like a facebook fan page to follow it.

My suggestion is: left the +1 button to your website's url and use Badge option to let users follow your Google's Plus Page.

Or better: Set the +1 button to the G+ page, and link it officialy to www.ibremarketing.com

like this: (sorry if appears in spanish, must be in english too)

I hope to be enough crearly in my explanation

See you

Maybe Jill removed it yet at your suggestion

I'm sure that you checked yet:

-No important directory is blocked from robots.txt

-The robots.txt detected through Google Webmaster Tools match with the actual file robots.txt  (i recently haved a trouble with that)

-New pages are well linked from home

-New pages are in sitemaps.xml with good priority and a dayly update

Share the content imediately with Google plus, it helps!

I cannot be sure, but maybe if Google was much time crawling your site without finding changes, decided to crawl it less frequently

Good Luck!
