I am looking for a tool that can track ranking position of a YouTube video on SERP and YouTube.

An example would be,

Suppose I have a video X. I want to know the position of the video for keywords A,B,C on SERP and YouTube.

Do let me know your inputs.

We are having 1 YouTube channels having all products of the organization. We are thinking to segregate different products channel wise.

Earlier having a Keyword in

was one of the important ranking factor or at least every SEO guru use to suggest this. But, of late, we are noticing that Google is not giving much weightage to it.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks Steve.  I agree that the site: query is not working in an appropriate manner. But I have noticed that the pages indexed by google are showing up in SERP with site: query .

I have checked new GSC and found that few pages are not indexed for my website, when I searched these pages in Google using "info:" query, it appears.

It concluded that the pages which are not indexed by Google will not appear for "site:" query but can appear for "info:" query.

site: Indexed by Google

info: Known by Google

Moreover, making root file available to bot makes structure search friendly but what if we don't make this file available to bot? Will my other dynamic pages get affected which are generated through this file?

Please advice.

Thanks

Hi All,

I have a query for which i am struggling to find out the answer.

I unable to retrieve URL using "site:" query on Google SERP. However, when i enter the direct URL or with "info:" query then a snippet appears. I am not able to understand why google is not showing URL with "site:" query.

Whether the page is indexed or not? Or it's soon going to be deindexed.

Secondly, I would like to mention that this is a dynamic URL. The index file which we are using to generate this URL is not available to Google Bot.

For instance, There are two different URL's.

http://www.abc.com/browse/ --- It's a parent page.
http://www.abc.com/browse/?q=123 --- This is the URL, generated at run time using browse index file.

Google unable to crawl index file of browse page  as it is unable to run independently until some value will get passed in the parameter and is not indexed by Google. Earlier the dynamic URL's were indexed and was showing up in Google for "site:" query but now it is not showing up.

Can anyone help me what is happening here?

Please advise.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the informative answers. @ThompsonPaul Which Wordpress Plugin we can use to save the Facebook share count?

Hi,

Recently, we have migrated our website from http:// to https://. Now, every URL is in https:// and we have used 301 permanent redirection for redirecting OLD URL's to New Ones.

We have planned to include http:// link in og:url instead of https:// due to some social share issues we are facing. My concern is, if Google finds the self http:// URL on every page of my blog, will Google gets confused with http and https:// as we are providing the old URL to Google for crawling.

Please advice.

Thanks

Thanks Patrick. It is helpful.

We've approached appx. 600 website owners and asked them to remove our link. Most of them do not respond , so, we disavow these links and sent reconsideration request. Again, Google refuses to remove penalty from our website. Anyone, can help.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Our product Quiz Maker help users to create quizzes and can share, embed etc. We have a link  in our embed code which was DoFollow and we've got many doFollow links from the websites on which our quizzes got shared but these links are too old like 2009, 2012 etc.

After that,  to complying with Google policies, we've changed the dofollow link to nofollow in embed code. Here are two scenarios:

1.) We've too many dofollow links which are too old and we don't have control over it as these are the natural links, given by our users before we changed the embed code link.

2.) Now, we are getting nofollow links from the widget as the embed code consists of nofollow link.

Our embed code is editable and user can change it to dofollow or nofollow as per their requirement.  Moreover, some people shared quizzes on their website (without using embed code) with dofollow link. But, now, google is taking manual action penalty against us.

How we can resolve it as it seriously affects the overall performance of our website.

Thanks
