Welcome to the Q&A Forum

To me it looks like larger authority sites are ranking better. I had a few top position drop to under position 5-10 (I deal with mainly local niches), and now see larger websites although not as relevant as mine doing better imo.

most of my clients are in different cities, but I've never seen the rankings vary as much as this.

Just wondering if there was an answer to this or if I should suggest to start over again, with the client if the site is penalized, he won't be happy with this for sure.

Also wondering if there was a way to see if the site is penalized, but it makes no sense for it to be penalized in some data centers but not others.

Also it's very frustrating dealing with clients all the time as well, so you may have the ideal position working inhouse

Hi Dana and JDP,

I use hide my ass (aff link removed by staff) has pretty good service checking from different locations.

I needed this because I have clients in different location so I needed to find proxies within their location, and found out that the results they see are drastically different from my own and also from different IP addresses in this situation. I have others where the results vary but not by the same margin.

Any help or ideas of what I should do would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have a site which I thought was ranking well, however that doesn't seem to be the case.

When I check the site from different IPs within the US it shows that the site is on page 1 and on other IPs it shows that it's on page 5 and for some keywords it shows it's not listed.

This site was ranking well, before but I think google dropped it when I was giving putting in too much work with it (articles and press releases), but now it seems to have recovered when I check with my IP, but on other data centers it still shows it prior to recovering.

It was able to recover after not building links to for a period of time, it showed it moved back up from the data center I'm connected to, but it still shows the possibly penalized results on other data centers.

Is it possible that site is still penalized?

So the question is why does it show it recovered in some data centers and not others?

How do I fix this?

It's been about 2 months since it's recovered from some data centers. Is this site still penalized or what's going on?

There are no warnings in web master tools.

Any insights would be appreciated!

This isn't an issue with the rank tracking software, I've tested this on a multitude of IPs with varying differences.

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your support.

I checked both of those resources, they make sense.

I guess what I'm looking for is really a combination of both - a nice, automated way to migrate wordpress installations whilst maintaining all required 301's.  I imagine by now there's a plugin of some sort!

These resources seem to be good:

Let me know if those seem to be on the wrong track...

Cheers,

Greetings!

I have been running my personal blog on first-lastname with a .me extension and I finally managed to acquire first-lastname.com!!!

Now I would like to migrate my Wordpress implementation to the new URL.

It will exactly the same.

Where could I find a detailed step by step on exactly how to do this?

Appreciate your time

Alex
