Welcome to the Q&A Forum

When I search .NET Jobs in Bangalore in Google.co.in, this URL http://www.wisdomjobs.com/jobsearch/jobs-in-bangalore-bengaluru is ranking in SERP whereas the correct URL for searched keyword should be http://www.wisdomjobs.com/jobsearch/dotnet-jobs-jobs-in-bangalore.. The same problem is happening in most of the keywords.

Hi Eric,

Canonical tags are already implemented on the website.

Hi Dmitrii Kustov,

I am talking about a job portal. If user is searching seo job in Sanjose then Google should rank landing page in which seo jobs in Sanjose are listed but in my case, Google is ranking landing page in which SEO Jobs are not listed or if SEO Jobs are listed then city is different.

Hi,

I have noticed that Google likes to rank random pages on my site higher in the SERPs than the actual relevant content page for that service.

Please let me know why it is happening?

Hi Martijin,

Thanks for your response. I have gone through the references those you shared and they are really helpful.I will follow them.

Can we also place the code generated in Experiment directly in HTML field of Google Tag manager. Will it work?

Hi

I have just started working on Google Tag Manager and trying to implement all important tags through Tag Manager only.

Can we also implement A/B Testing (Experiment in Analytics) through Google Tag manager.

Ok David.

Thanks for you time. Much appreciated.

Hi,

I have noticed in Google analytics that direct traffic of one of my website is increased drastically. I didn't participate in Email Marketing or any other paid campaigns however direct traffic is continuously increasing. I checked all sources, locations, browsers, filters etc but didn't get any findings.

Please help.

Thanks Dirk,

You have nicely give all answers of my questions. I will take care of your points while creating the sub-domains. Also, I received this message from Google after filing the reconsideration request:

Dear Webmaster of http://www.webstarttoday.com/
We have processed the reconsideration request from a site owner for http://www.webstarttoday.com/. The site has been reviewed for violations of our quality guidelines. Any manual spam actions applied to the site have been revoked or adjusted where appropriate.

As per the message my website should had revoked from the penalty but the penalty is still showing, under "Manual action".

Thanks,

Ruchi

Thanks for your quick repose. Much appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

We have a website http://www.webstarttoday.com. Recently, we have received manual action from Google says "Pages on this site appear to use aggressive spam techniques such as automatically generated gibberish, cloaking, scraping content from other websites, and/or repeated or egregious violations of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines." . Google has given an example http://smoothblog.webstarttoday.com/. The nature of the business of http://www.webstarttoday.com is to creating sub-domains (website builder). Anyone can register and create sub-domains.

My questions are:

• What are the best practices in case if someone is creating sub-domain for webstarttoday.com?
• How can I revoke my website from this penalty?
• What should i do with other hundreds of sub-domains those are already created by third party like http://smoothblog.webstarttoday.com? .
• Why these type of issues don't come with WordPress or weebly. ?

Regards,

Ruchi

Thanks for the response Rishi. I tried to find out the reason in different forums but not get any success.

I am afraid if Google has removed the Reconsideration button because we have filed request many times??

Hi Guys,

I have a website that received unnatural link message. We had started link removal process, disavowed not approachable links and file reconsideration four times but all the times Google sent some samples of unnatural links and rejected our reconsideration.

Last week we again disavowed non approachable links and planned to file reconsideration after a week but today when i tried to file reconsideration, Manual action message was disappeared. We haven't received any message from Google. The same case was happened with one more of our site earlier.

Manual action disappeared means it has been revoked or something else??

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. You said that redirection will carry forward the penalty to the new domain.It means the whole penalty will move from my old domain to the new domain so in that case my rankings for old domain should come up??

Hi All,

If a website www.mywebsite.com has received 100 unnatural links and because of that rankings are dropped. I want to follow the below strategy to protect my website from these 100 unnatural links. Please let me know if it will work:

• Buy a new domain www.newdomain.com with new whois record (Not related to www.mywebsite.com )
• Do 301 redirection of all 100 unnatural links (Those are pointing to www.mywebsite.com) to www.newdomain (New domain)
• Do 302 redirection from www.newdomain (New domain) to  www.mywebsite.com (Old Domain)

After applying the above strategy, will google still consider those 100 unnatural links for Old domain??

Hi Carson,

Thanks for your reply. As i earlier mentioned that link removal process it not working. I tried many times but all the times Google rejected are reconsideration request. I don't know where i am lacking.

Thanks Federico,

I agree with you but we have already tried to remove most of the unnatural links and filed reconsideration request with proper evidences. We find out unnatural links through different tools such as Google Webmaster tools, Cognitive SEOs etc. but all the times Google rejects our reconsideration request with the reason that our website is still receiving unnatural links.In the reconsideration request response Google also shares some sample of unnatural links.

The worst part is that after lots of deep analysis, we still not able to find out the list of whole unnatural links.

Hi All,

I want to discuss one of my strategy that i applied on my website to dilute the value of TOXIC links those are coming on my website.

Issue:

• Poor, Spam quality links were created for the home page and some inner pages.
• Google considered those links Unnatural and took manual action
• All rankings were disappeared

Strategy

• Deleted all landing pages those are over linked from spam websites.
• Created new landing pages with some modifications and new content.
• Because home page(index.html) was also penalized by Google, i made the changes in index.html and  put no follow no index tag so that bad links value couldn't pass from index.html to other inner pages (Newly created pages and pages those were not over optimized).
• Created new index.php page. Give option to the user to the Enter the Website from Index.html (Default Home Page) to index.php.
• Blocked all bad URLs (Un Natural Links) through .htaccess file. When user or Google bot will come through those blocked URLs (Un Natural Links), server responses 403 (Access Denied).

The domain for which i did above experiment is http://www.thebaildepot.com/index.php

Now, i have doubts on below points:

• Blocking unnatural links (403, access denied) from .htaccess file will really work?
• No follow no index to default page and than give option to the user to navigate to newly create index.php

I did this experiment around 10 days before still rankings are not coming in Google top 100.

Hi,

Recently we have purchased a domain (example www.test.com) with very good Page Rank , Domain Authority and back links. Here my question is should we do 301 redirection from www.test.com to my domain www.test1.com, and if we do that what we will be the impact of seo on www.test1.com.

Kindly elaborate.

Thanks Rafi,

Some of our client's are asking for "Broad Match" Keywords.

Hi All,

In Google keyword planner, "broad match" option has been removed. I want to know that is there any other method in Google keyword planner or any other tool or any technique through which we can find out the "Broad Match" search volume??

In your example, Google will track only three specific products those you have mentioned in your analytic code.

Again, i am repeating my question that how will i track the transaction for "n numbers" of products those are present on my website.Is there any variable that i would have to pass in '_addTrans' and '_addItem' to track.

Thanks Anders,

It would be great if you can explain it with example or if you have any reference article.

Hi All,

Kindly explain how to implement eCommerce tracking code on the website.I am aware how to enable and generate eCommerce tracking code in Google Analytics but have confusion from website end.Also, where i read the steps, everywhere i read the below code:

<script< span="">type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq ||[]; _gaq.push(['_setAccount','UA-XXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); _gaq.push(['_addTrans', '1234', // transaction ID - required 'Acme Clothing', // affiliation or store name '11.99', // total - required '1.29', // tax '5', // shipping 'San Jose', // city 'California', // state or province 'USA' // country ]); // add item might be called for every item in the shopping cart // where your ecommerce engine loops through each item in the cart and // prints out _addItem for each _gaq.push(['_addItem', '1234', // transaction ID - required 'DD44', // SKU/code - required 'T-Shirt', // product name 'Green Medium', // category or variation '11.99', // unit price - required '1' // quantity - required ]); _gaq.push(['_trackTrans']);//submits transaction to the Analytics servers (function(){ var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type ='text/javascript'; ga.async =true; ga.src =('https:'== document.location.protocol ?'https://ssl':'http://www')+'.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); ----------------------------------------</script<>

In the above code specific transaction id, SKU/code are mentioned.

What will be the modifications in the above code if i have to track all products present on my eCommerce website??

Well, your query is bit unclear. if you don't have any content on these pages than why do you need those pages on your website?

And if these are the categories than each category should have a proper name.

If if you have pagination on your website, like album a, album b, album c, then you should use Canonical Tag For Paginated Results

Thanks Chris,

In my case first page organic result has been disappeared and merged with Google local places. I want my organic result back. Is there any way to get back my old result??

Hi All,

Is it possible to have visibility in Google local places as well first page in Google for same set of keywords?

Hi All,

All type of site wide links are bad for Google or it depends upon other factors as well? For example if you talk about GoDaddy or any other service provider company they put their links on the footer of other websites so in this condition, Google will harm their rankings or not?

Also elaborate the best practices for site wide links.

Hi All,

How Google will react with the websites having condition as mentioned below:

Two websites, Same owner, same business, same IP, Interlinking with each other ?

Two websites, Same owner, same business, different IP, Interlinking with each other ?

Also please elaborate best practices(Such as IP address, Physical address, look and feel etc.) if someone wants to run same business through more than one website?

Hi,

We would like to start uploading videos for support on our soon to be launched support centre interface. We wanted to know if we should use Youtube or Vimeo for something like this. From an SEO standpoint which video streaming software is better? If these videos get linked on blogs etc which video platform would give us stronger SEO juice? Awaiting your inputs

Hi,

Will Google AdSense those are running above the fold of the website, impact the keywords rankings?

Thanks Martijn,

Can you please elaborate the concept of session in bounce rate?

Per wikipedia "The bounce rate for a single page is the number of visitors who enter the site at a page and leave within the specified timeout period without viewing another page, divided by the total number of visitors who entered the site at that page. In contrast, the bounce rate for a web site is the number of web site visitors who visit only a single page of a web site per session divided by the total number of web site visits."

In above definition, time period has mentioned, so here again my point is:

If bounce rate doesn't depend upon time than Bounce Rate should be same whether visitor bounce back in single session or after session expires??

Hi All,

I just want to clear some of my confusion regarding bounce rate.

• Bounce rate depends upon time. If yes than how?
• What will be the bounce rate for single page website.
• Single page website will have same bounce rate and exit rate?

• Contact to webmaster and remove them

I tried both of the above methods but not get success.Is there any other method to solve this issue??

Hi Thanks for your feedback...

Ranking has been dropped last month around mid of the month.

Thanks for your reply,

Yes i agree that we didn't create lots of links.But initially website were ranking and once we started SEO only than ranking dropped.

We have created dedicated page for every keyword and we are optimizing respective page.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Per my analysis, i am not seeing over optimization for any keyword.

But yes bad Links might  be the reason behind drop in rankings. Can you please tell me how to identify the bad link practices?? I haven't received any message in Google webmaster regarding bad links.

Can you please help me to find out the exact reason behind this??

Hi EssEEmily and Loren,

Thanks for answering the question.

I have attached a snapshot of the page which shows up when a product goes out of stock. There is relevant information which is shown on the webpage and good amount of content as well. we also show related searches for that product so that there is valuable content and user interactivity present on the webpage but the rankings go down as soon as it goes out of stock.

i hope this image give more details on the page which shows up for you to answer.

Thanks.

Hi,

I own an e-commerce marketplace where the products are sold by 3rd party sellers and purchased by end users.

My problem is that whenever a new product is added the search engine crawls the website and it ranks the new page on 4th page. when I start optimizing it to gain better rankings in search engines the product goes out of stock and the rankings drop to below 100.

To counter that I started showing other related products on the "Out of Stock" pages but even then the rankings are dropping.

Can someone help me with this problem?
