Has this ever happened to anyone?
Yesterday my home page was ranking in top 10 for 20+ keywords. And has been that way for several months.
Today, suddenly, my homepage started dropping in rank. I chalked this up to SERP volatility. Then later in the day I went to Search Console and tested the url, it said that it was not indexed by Google. The page itself is indexable (not mentioned in my robot.txt, no “noindex” Meta , etc) search console even confirmed the page was indexable but just wasn’t indexed.
I suddenly lost all my rankings. Over a year of hard work. Does anyone know how I can fix this. Is it just a glitch? Will Google adjust the SERP and fix once indexed?
Also: All other pages of my site are still indexed by Google. No errors in site map. Also went through everything in the Google help center and nothing helpful.
Well everyone, hello. I'll cut to it: I recently accepted a contract (quite lucrative too) to do some SEO work and optimization for a local university. The CMO is a good friend of mine so he kinda jumped at the chance to contract me.
The first item on the docket is "Build out SEO components on essential landing pages using the Yoast SEO tool within Wordpress."
A little about me:
So I guess what I'm asking is what is my best plan of attack? Like, for an absolute beginner, would you recommend creating an SEO outline in my first week just identifying essential pages and how to best optimize them? Is there some kind of worksheet you know of? I know a lot of SEO techniques, but I'm finally being thrown out of the frying pan and into the fryer, so to speak.
I appreciate any voices, opinions, and especially resources. Thus far I'm reading Moz's 101 guide to refresh my skills, and am thinking of signing up for ahrefs. I've also got Keywords Everywhere extension installed, with some credits.
I really want to do right by my friend, and it doesn't sound like there's a ton of pressure, but the fraudulent feelings are definitely there.
Thank you a ton in advance.
Hi guys,
So I'm currently in the process of interviewing for an SEO Exec role and I've been tasked with two tasks.
Ive managed to get to stage 2 of the test but after a few hours, I've gotten no further with it.
So I was wondering if anyone would like to test their knowledge and help me out
At one point I had the 1st spot on Google for my real estate website. Unfortunately, huge sites like Zillow, Homes, Trulia, etc. with half a billion links blew me out of the water years ago so that I must now publicize the site other ways.
However, due to the virus curtailing my business I have decided to provide a service that does not require the usual constant people contact typical of the profession.
This service is presented at an internal page. The main competition does not have an unattainable number of links.
My question is how best to rank an internal page in first position or at least rank on page one.
Thank you. This is essential to our continued solvency as a company and my career of nearly 40 years as a Realtor.
Sorry for newbie question, but I have an opportunity to link to my website and I was wondering which site it's best to link to?
/ site? Categories? specific products?
I'm talking about e-commerce website
Would linking to root site spill juice to categories?
Would I miss out on juice if I would link to specific product?
Hi all just wanted to ask if any of you have got any handy tips for e-commerce SEO. I am not a begginer so don't need the run of the mill info like keyword research, meta titles etc or trying to upsell or pm for tips.
Just want to see if any of you have found creative ways to rank ecom sites.
Thanks in advance!
Now a days, It's seen in some article that meta description has no role in site ranking.
However It's a matter of discussion for newcomers.
Hey everyone, ran into an issue I'm stumped on. New client is a large US company. Reviewing their GSC a few weeks ago I noticed their XML sitemap has a "Last Read" date of Sep 1, 2018. I've submitted the sitemap a few times already, and the "Last Submitted" date updates accordingly, but the Last Read date does not. I've even deleted the sitemap entirely and re-submitted and the error is still showing.
The # of URLs indicated in the sitemap is also incorrect (off by about 50%), so I'm fairly positive Google is indeed not reading their sitemap. Anyone run into this before and know of any workarounds?
Hi!
How long does it usually take for a page to get to it's "final" rank:
a) new page on new website
b) new page on old website
c) editing a page on an old website
Let me know if you have experience with these three types of situations and how long do you wait do know if the page is ok or needs updating.
Thanks!
I had my website connected with GSC using html file and never had any problems. Until 2 days ago. I open GSC to check performance and it says site not verified. I click verify with html file again and it said "file not found". I open my file manager and the file is there. Nothing changed and I still lost ownership of the site.
And the thing is I can't get it back. I tried html file, html tag and google analytics and nothing works. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Two of my website's home de-index from google, the website doesn't have any technical errors that might hider google bot to crawl the page. The live test tool in GSC shows the URL is indexable.
Is anyone facing this issue? Is it another indexing glitch?
Hi there,
I am interested in becoming an SEO expert. I come from an IT background and have some experience with WordPress and coding in general.
I have followed some online Udemy courses on SEO which seemed a bit dated to me but when I applied the techniques to my website for testing i got mediocre improvement.
The main things I've learned
To me this all seems like pseudo science and I am trying to find a legitimate process that can take me from no rank to first page or close for a site. I realise that it obviously takes work to achieve that, I just wanted to get an idea of whether I'm missing something. Is this something people go to uni for or do they just poke around sites until they list well?
Lastly, how do people generate quality back links? Like, if the backlink is an authoritive website then chances are they won't want to list you if you're a new site right? So I'm at a loss as to how people do this? For example my Amazon affiliate site might have great articles and maybe I manage to get them posted on other people's larger blog sites but say when you are talking about local businesses what do they do by comparison?
Any courses/advice/suggestions. Keen to learn but also tired of confusing inconsistent information. Also do people use Google AdWords keywords tool these days or is that now irrelevant? Bit scared to buy in to ahrefs right now cause I don't know how to use it.
I've got one page (case study) which is a translation of another page on the website. I just noticed that the translated version is an orphan page, so it's not getting indexed.
As far as I know, the best way to do multi-language pages is to have the same page, but different language versions of that same page/url. But, my gut is telling me that perhaps if you have only one page out of 100+ in a different language, using this language variable page might not be the best option.
Another option is simply linking the English version to the translated one, and vice versa.
Which method do you think would be more beneficial in order to get better ranking?
Would gladly appreciate your help!
PS: using Hubspot as a CMS if that makes any difference.
Hey guys, this morning i checked my site who was ranking 2nd and 4th for the most used key words and surprise, front page is not ranking anymore. On the second page of google i can find product pages from my site. I checked the front page url in google search console and got the following answer: The URL is not on Google This page is not included in the index, but not due to an error. See the details below to find out why it was not indexed.
Last time a crawler was there was on the 26th
What do?!
I know this isn't the right subreddit but I thought some of you might be interested. I'm selling remote-hire.ml I've done pretty well with the website by partnering with tech recruiters but I have lost interest and have moved to new ventures. Selling for $500 Dm for more info
As link building is the most time-consuming task so, I tried a free tool to generate backlink for my web 2.0 and it generated 50 backlinks within couple of minutes so, why not I use that?
Well, I know there should be chances of getting bad links as well.
At this time we are working on a job portal website a few days ago our website on automatic registration (Submit unuseful detail - 5000+ fake user registration). Please tell me how to protect our website. Please suggest which tool using finding who is working spam activity on the website?
I want to know what is effective off-page SEO for the site in 2020. I have a forex related site. I am a SEO expert. I have done onsite SEO and site speed optimization successfully. now I will do off-page SEO.
This guy in my industry has had a similar scam before where he creates a review site and the another site that he promotes on the review site and pretends to be many different people.
He writes fake reviews and attacks competitors and uses many different fake accounts.
I looked at google but I couldn't see anything specific to this. I also looked at econsumer but...
Anything I can do?
This thing is very good, the truth teaches you rough about seo
So I have a WordPress theme with Woocommerce installed. I'm working on some of the template pages and I have a question about SEO. I can easily put the name of the product and store it as a variable, and dynamically put it on the site. For instance:
$someName = $product->name; echo ` <h1>$someName</h1> <h2>Facts about ' . $someName . '</h2>;' If $someName was "Cool Toy", the site would generate: "COOL TOY... Facts about Cool Toy" etc.
My question is, does this hurt my SEO, or even affect it at all since PHP is generated by the server? Does google need to crawl hard-coded content, or can it crawl the above?
I’ve been studying SEO and teaching others what I’ve learned for awhile now. However, I’ve never actually put what I’ve learned into practice on my own.
I was looking to create a case study that I can show others - look at this, it works!
Most people say, start a blog and work on ranking it. Starting a new site and ranking it quickly with white hat practices can take a long time. I also don’t mind doing it, but I’m also not a great writer...or maybe don’t have the discipline to write 2,000 word articles.
I’m looking for ideas on how to test out what I’ve learned and be able to show people. I want to do the work myself and invest little money into it so I have full control. This means writing, backlinks, etc., even if I have to learn to enjoy writing.
Other than a blog, are there any other ideas anyone recommends to see if what I’ve been learning actually works?
Or if a blog is a way to go, do I pick a topic I enjoy and go for it or do I also find something that’s easier to rank for? I like golf, but trying to rank a golf blog as a weekend golfer probably won’t do well no matter what I write.
This test doesn't really tell you what or where to add the missing fields:
Missing field "image" (optional)
Missing field "brand" (optional)
Missing field "description" (optional)
Missing field "sku" (optional)
Missing field "offers" (optional)
No global identifier provided (e.g., gtin, mpn, isbn) (optional)
I don't know what to do. I went looking for the files on my server that contain some of the highlighted code when you click on the above but couldn't find the file.
And then even if I found the file I don't know exactly where to put it. What do you think? Any tools to fix this stuff? I got a notification in search console.

Hello, if you can help me it would be great.
I am building A site that sells video game services.
Most of the product pages have the same template and they are very similar, i have like 20 pages which have like the same template
Is this bad? Should I spend the time to make the content on the product pages a bit more unique , for example on every product page i got a FAQ section and it's almost the same for every product page.
Hi, I am starting a blog and struggling with using Ahrefs tool for developing a content topic plan. Can someone help me figure out how to perform this? Can offer some money in exchange. .
I am working on SEO for a local business website. The business is actually a cake shop located near Brooklyn.
Here are the things that I've done on its on page SEO:
Included proper keywords in Title, First paragraph, and in body of the page.
Included alt text to images.
Included proper Internal links in the webpage.
Added Sitemap and robots.txt file
Optimized Image size.
The website was already pretty fast, so I didn't needed to much on that.
Added proper schema markup
The website is also mobile friendly.
Now, Is there anything else I should do on its On-page SEO part, before moving to Off page SEO?
Need your advice.
Since Web Stories (AMP Stories) don't have the tag <link rel=”amphtml”..>, they are not "amp story format" of your full length article. They are content on their own.
But what happens if you make a story from an article? Is it considered duplicate content? Should I am creating stories for topics that I don't have already written as articles?

Hi, I am using these permalinks on my Tech news website (domain .com/post-title) but someone told me that I should move to (domain .com/category/post-title) which is more google friendly.
My site gets traffic all the time, it has been there for a while. So, shall i keep the URL structure i have or shall I move?
I am using Google's Keyword Planner Tool for the last 5 years but I have never seen this before that Keyword Planner has removed lots of search terms like "safety masks".

I have a new website with a domain (abc.com) which obviously very low ranking on search engines at the moment.
I've also just purchased an expired similar domain (abc1.com) which has a birth year of 2005 and around 2000 backlinks.
Aesthetically my preference is to keep abc.com however I assume there is a lot of SEO value in the abc1.com domain?
Want to get peoples opinions of the following options?
Would love some help on this! Thanks!
I realize changing URL without 301 redirects is a bad idea for SEO. I also read that 301 redirects do not lead to PageRank loss. So can I change URLs every 2-3 months with 301 redirects (keeping trending keywords in mind) without causing any loss in PageRank?
Can anyone tell me about how to rank XYZ TLD domains in search engines.
I am a real beginner at SEO but I've said to one of my friend that I would help him rank up his society in google as I've got lot of free times.
The thing is his society is a retailer of a big company that already have a page on their site for his shop but the page isn't quite optimize for SEO (not enough keywords,...)
And he can't modify It, so I thought of creating a separate website so that I can do whatever I want on the site (articles to rank up, ...)
Is this a good idea ? Or should I've focus on adding keywords and content on the social media pages (facebook, instagram)
Does this URL structure help Google understand our site better? If it is a general pet site? domain/category/post
Hi everyone, I am new to this seo field. I have a website and I also have access to Google analytics, Google Search Console, SEMrush and Ryte subscription.
All these tools surely give lots of information, analysis, and errors etc. My primary concern is what and how to show all this on an SEO report? Is there any template which I should fill out and feed it with all errors and warnings etc? How should I create a report?
I am quite confused about it because on all the youtube videos and tutorials, everyone is showing how to extract information with tools. But no one is telling how to create a report with all this information.
I’m doing some SEO work on the side and found the client pays a company for back links. I’ve used SEMRush and the quality is surprisingly decent there. I am still suspicious this is worth it but wondering if there’s anything I can do to help optimize these efforts, including keyword research suggestions if indeed these efforts are worthwhile.
Hello! I have searched the internet but found a lot of mixed answers. I am making a blog/store for a niche field. But I wan't to start it off as a subdomain. This way I am better organized. A couple of months later, I will be introducing another niche (that's why I think subdomains are the best approach). And after that another. All of them are in the creative arts space. Filmmaking, music production, audio stuff like that.
I just feel like hobby.mysite.com, hobby2.mysite.com and so on don't really have that company branding feel for each. But I also want some authority when I roll out these new sub domains. I was thinking about fowarding domains to another domain but I just don't know lol. Does anyone have suggestions? SEO is very important to me.
Hi all. I’m new here, so I hope that I’m not “breaking” any rules. I’m looking for someone to hire who knows how to do website SEO for real estate targeting at least 2 different cities? I just had a Wordpress real estate website made. Also, I’d like to get my Google My Business listing high ranking. Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone, so I'm new to SEO and haven't made a webpage since I went to college 20 years ago.
I have started a side business with a website and am trying to grow my rankings organically. It's a small website though only a handful of pages but my competitors are the same way. We all basically structure the website the same and have the same keywords for the most part.
For google maps I normally rank top 1 or 2 for my area but if you are doing a google search I am if lucky on page 8-12. So that means outlying areas wont' pull me up at all. I've slowly gone up in rankings since I launched the website\opened my business 3 months ago, but I've gone stagnant in the rankings now.
I've done what I think I can do the best I can. I know I am missing backlinks and I am slowly working on it. But I get results from out of state business's, results from business's 2 hrs away show up before I do. They don't even have keywords of my city or surrounding cities on their websites.
I'm not asking for freework just some advice. I'd love to pay someone to help with this but until covid is over I'm on a tight budget and trying to do it all on my own.
Right now I run my services from my home garage but my end goal is to open a shop as soon as covid rules are relaxed or over. But I want to be as high as possible on google rankings before I do so.
Thanks guys!
I hear that consistency and regular posting is a big ranking factor in Google. I'm kinda burnt out atm and could use a break. I've still got like 4 months to go before I rank.
Is this that big of a deal breaker?
I've read that you should 301 redirect all alternative URL structures to the one that you select as your 'primary' URL.
How do I know which structure is best?
How do I reflect this within Google Search Console and Google's crawling practices?
Are there any expected SEO outcomes of doing this generally?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Can you lose your SEO ranking and traffic if your website gets compromised by, let's say, a malware from a WordPress plugin?
And if so, how do you get your traffic back? Will Google actually remember your website and bring your ranking back to where it was before you got hacked?
Just a bit confused about how Google ranking works...
Has anyone noticed or can share a resource on long-term negative SEO impact of GDPR?.?. I know bounce doesn’t impact rank in SERP, but long term is GDPR popup affecting UX causing bounce and decrease in rank?
Like, if google supports better user experience could this eventually cause problems? Or is GDPR just accepted as industry standard popup now and has zero affect on SEO.
Hi everyone! I have a puzzling predicament. One of my clients has been receiving a bunch of random (positive) Google reviews on his Google My Business. He doesn’t know any of the reviewers (his company is small enough to know the majority of his customers) and as Google has started to prioritize reviews, I’m concerned about the ramifications of these reviews. Has anyone heard of fake positive reviews causing issues? Does Google do anything about these and does this have the potential to harm his SEO or should I just thank my lucky stars for some kind strangers?
I know the basics of doing PDF SEO but don't know how to start optimizing PDFs details... like I have to optimize Title, Description, <h> tags. But how to optimize?
Shall I embedd the pdf using pdf embedder plugins in WP and do the optimizations as usual webpages?
Is there any other ways else than using Adobe Acrobat for pdfs, any other similar tool?
I have to optimize every major tags of SEO in my PDF doc to rank it.
During the weekend my website had a crazy increase of traffic coming from trafficbot4free.host, I googled it and it's linked to a website I never seen before. Is this bad for the website ranking? Is there a way I can stop that?
For an SEO who doesn't know jack shit about web development things like HTML, CSS or JS I mean he knows basic HTML like opening & closing tags, heading tags etc from this point on should he progress towards learning CSS, JS, Node JS, React & Ajax or should he ditch all this and learn Python instead. I mean HTML, CSS, JS & stuff can be taken care by a) CMS & b) Web Developer
However, Python can help greatly with data extraction so what should an SEO learn afterall
I've got an issue I can't seem to find an answer to, hoping I'm missing an obvious fix, search console has found mobile usability issues and showing '1 affected page' but it isn't showing the url of the affected page, does anyone how to find out which page has been affected?
Thanks for any advice!
How i can update my website to avail rich snippet opportunity in Google search?
Please explain the fundamentals A to Z!
I've just seen the backlink profile of an article by a reputable publisher. It has 105 backlinks, all of which use EXACTLY THE SAME anchor and surrounding text!
It gets worse...when I opened the URLs, they all have exactly the same text!
Is this indicative of a Private Blog Network?
like Spanish, Chinese, Japanese. What tools do you use? Still Ahrefs?
My wife and I run a small shopify website and I’ve started doing improvements for seo now that the site is generally functional for a while.
I’ve been using so far:
Chase Reiner paid SEO template, I’ve been working through this but the in-depth videos assume we have pro versions of the key seo industry tools. I’ll probably buy a year sub of screamingfrog because I’ve found it really useful when I was changing my link URLs but won’t keep it indefinitely
ongoing free semrush account to track the keywords for our “top 10” keywords list related to 6-7 key products from our catalog along with other free-level tools they offer like the pagecount limited site audit
lifetime Ubersuggest since it’s the only one I found that wasn’t unaffordable ongoing monthly fee and will use this to track 150 keywords rankings long term, and use the site audit tool ongoing.
The next step on my radar is to make the most of a chain of tool trials with a few goals in mind:
Monthly Ahrefs and semrush are certainly outside our ongoing budget so I want to make sure I take away as much key actionable data as possible to continue working with on our other tools we WILL have ongoing.
My thoughts are to start with ahrefs 7d trial since it’s the shortest and then take the exports to semrush (30d) for further processing as well as using their tools to generate another dataset. Moz also has a 30d but I’m not really familiar with their offering so far. Is this a pretty solid sequence, and are there any tool-specific reports I might kick myself for not having after a trial ends, or during months in the future I might pay for a single-month membership?
Hopefully the title make sense! Basically, I have a company that wants me to put a link to one of their articles on a blog on a website I manage. Is there a way I can tell if their link to that article has been posted on other websites?
Hello everyone, do you have any links to share for up to date confirmed/unconfirmed updates? Im also trying to find any news on September algo updates since there's been so much alerts. Thank you!
I've paid 2 sites to post an article about us on their site. One is a top3 news domain in our country and it was obviously an ad article. This was 6 months ago.
Second one is more into the same field.
None of those links show up as backlinks.
I'm trying to get one more and I want to get it right.
Hi all,
I am relatively new to SEO and am currently trying to get more visitors to my website.
In Search Console I noticed a huge increase in impressions only to return to normal the next day. The impression number went from a fairly stable 2,000 to 11,000 in just one day. The next day it returned to 2,000 again.
Anybody have any ideas on what could have caused this?
There are no keywords which have an extreme amount of impressions, even the amount of keywords I ranked for that day seems to be average. It's just that all of them seem to just have more impressions.
It's a painful and tedious process to do it manually, so I'm looking for ways I can potentially automate some of it to benefit my time.
By automate, I'm talking about tools or services that allow for better management of my building and allows me to use templates.
Can anyone recommend a good, solid tool or service that offers me to perform editorial outreach but gives me some templates to tweak and automate emails that send out and follow up after a certain amount of time.
I also have clients primarily focused on local SEO, so does anyone have any experience with someone like BrightLocal?
I'm happy to write my own content and I'm not too particularly interested in companies like FatJoe where the link will probably be 0 value and die off within a matter of weeks. I know a lot of good ways to build backlinks, but I figure I can just spend my time a little better if there were tools or services out there to help take off the manual edge of outreach which works 5% of the time.
If I can do it in more volume then it helps increase my chances of it actually working.
Any advice is appreciated, cheers.
Hey all,
So I've been running a computer repair business for about 6 years now and trying to get my site to rank higher. I have managed to get it to page 7 on Google on my own and it has fluctuated between page 4 and 8 for the term "computer repairs Adelaide" in the last few years.
I guess I've thrown in the towel with trying to boost it any higher. I've followed online courses on how to do SEO which I found on Udemy and this got me where it is but no higher.
The main things I've done have been:
Paid for a press release on a larger site (this did boost me up the rank and I've stayed there)
Changed all my keywords to match my search terms
Updated my meta tags
Posted my site everywhere in every directory
Affiliated with some friends who stuck my link on their business sites.
Things I tried that didn't work for me...
I'm not really sure how to get "back links"... This seems impossible to me.
I had the idea to create a lot of quality content blog articles that lead consumers of my demographic to read them and flow to my page. I wrote a few articles felt it was a waste of time... Is it? Is this how people get their back links?
Any advice would be appreciated. You are talking to a stubborn person who wants to do this himself... Please don't try and sell me your SEO plans
Hello I would like to ask you if it is even worth trying to compete with those giant site for some specific keywords and if there is any chance I would ever be able to appear on the first page of google (or anywhere close to it)
Like other, my website was also deindexed by Bing, then after I changed the theme, but still there is no sign of traffic from Bing. What should I do?
So I was wondering if there are any draw backs to using a normal Gmail for email outreach when link building. Or if I should use my domain email that comes with g suite.
Hey everyone,
Having a bit of a problem with Google Analytics and Tag Manager and hoping you can help me out. Placing pretty good odds on this being something super obvious I've missed too.
I'm working on switching my Google Analytics implementation to Google Tag Manager rather than the hard-coded implementation I've previously had.
I've got the GTM implementation running in a new Google Analytics property side-by-side with the historical implementation right now. The configuration of the two is exactly the same, right down to every event we're tracking.
Seeing about a 1.2% difference in most data points, but there's a massive discrepancy when it comes to Organic and Direct traffic: the GTM set up is significantly under-attributing traffic to Organic and over-attributing to Direct compared to the old set up.
Do you have any ideas why - or what I should look at more closely to figure this out?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
For example, I would like to target businesses in the internet and software industry or the retail industry. How can I define keywords to use that would entice them to purchase our products?
How to optimize PDFs as like any other webpage for SEO?
Like what I am lookijg the ways for PDF:
Either I can upload them in my media attachment in Wordpress or I can Embed them on my page
But in either of cases I am uploading it on a page as the element and on opening url looks like example. com/wp-content/uploads/pdftestexample.pdf
But I want my URL to be exact i.e example. com/pdftestexample.pdf
For that I am upload directly to my cpanel as webpage.
But now how to optimize meta tags of my pdf now? Title, description, H1 & so on..... to rank them
Can I do that with any pdf editor where can I customize HTML or so?
Kindly help!
I have a number of guides for the same target audience, eg truck drivers. I'd like to know (A) how best to find prospects and (B) How best to entice them to link to us.
(A) Would it be better to search for sites that discuss the same topic? Eg if a guide is on "Trucker Tax Deductions", should I look for pages ranking for this KW and then pitch them our content to link to.
(B) The benefit my prospect would achieve in linking to our content is that it "takes a different angle" or "adds something valuable to the topic". Does this sound like a convincing/persuasive pitch to entice them to link to my guide?
Any best practice you guys could suggest would be very helpful. Thanks! :)
Hey there,
Quick question, I want to target keywords for two cities that I'm located between but I don't want to create 'duplicative' content for both pages. How should I focus my keywords using yoast SEO on wp.
Option 1: Create individual pages for both cities, focus keywords 'City1 Real Estate Photography', and 'city2 real estate photography'. Create the content and just change it up for the specific cities.
or
Option 2: Create individual pages for desired keywords and then 301 redirect the pages to a general real estate photography landing page. (this is option im leaning towards) I just don't know how it will affect SEO ranking.
Thanks for any insight.
Hi,
What kind of link building strategy would you recommend in order to position better for one certain keyword? The website already has a page dedicated to this keyword and it will have a blog post too.
The competition for it on Ahrefs isn't too bad (6 KD). I reckon a few good links would be sufficient but I'm just wondering what to go for.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone give me backlink from their valuable website or blog guest posting site
I started my first site about 5 months ago and I was unaware I should have done this a while ago.
I'm not ranking for a lot but I was just curious if this would somehow ruin my rankings if I were to noindex these pages? I haven't made a tag in a long time since I realized they were unnecessary so there aren't that many pages to noindex.
My main worry is it having a negative effect, any ideas?
And I'll tell you how to improve it.
I m launching a site that has music on it and i need some good tips where i can promote it.
Waiting for some good answers. Thanks
I've been looking and asking for an answer to this for a while, but still nothing cleared my mind up.
Shortly.
I want to open a web design studio. I've figured out that niche down, focusing on a specific typology of professionals, would increase the chances to get projects.
I did a keywords analysis for different niches (both for my potential clients and potential client's client).
In both cases, i could find a small amount of keywords (maximum 10), and all of them with a monthly research volume of 1-10/1-100.. maybe just one with 1-1000.
Using these keywords to set up a campaign (always google tools) and get more detailed stats, i got a forecast of hundreds of impression and a dozen of click.
I don't really know how to gauge these data, but they looks really poor and not really worth the efforts.
I would like to know more about the decision making process basing on keywords data, when something worth work on it, when a niche is too narrow.
Hope someone can help it clear this out.
Thank!
Does duplicate page title count as duplicate content issues?
Because one of my client URLs is different, their page content is different but still when I run it over the SEM rush site audit. it's saying duplicate. No idea. can anyone help me with this?
I am studying up on Local SEO as it relates to managing franchises or businesses with multiple locations in the same city or county.
The goal is to ensure the most relevant listing appears for the searcher. Location is a top factor so your NAP is critical to reach this goal.
But is there any value of adding the location in the company name to differentiate from the other locations?
Ex.
Company Name - Location Yogurt House - Miami Beach Yogurt House - Surfside Yogurt House - South Beach
Or would just using the name “Yogurt House” be ok?
Hopefully I explained this properly. If I need to clarify anything please lmk. Thanks in advance.
Hi there SEO’s, this is gonna be a long post asking for some help/advice and I hope some professionals here can help me.
Let me clarify something before going to the topic. I’m kinda new in SEO but I have been learning for about about a month now all the basic stuff, Local SEO, SEO on-page, Off-page, basic web design, learn to code (at least basic level), content creation, technical SEO, mainly. And I have designed a website for some friend’s local business but haven’t publish yet so no experience ranking.
The topic is, after searching job for almost all the time while I am learning (mainly scholar or content writer), I have an opportunity now in a medium size company.
The company is mainly focus in one province but have different franchises over the country, so it’s kinda semi-known. They’re ranking top5 for their main KW (in their province) and top 1 for the mid-tail KWs, but the website is not optimized at all. No H1, no KW focus, no blog or content apart for the basic introduction to their services, also the website is very deep like 6-7 clicks for the main objective of the site. So there’s a lot of job that can be done. Also, other provinces franchises are not ranking in their cities apart from the ones in the main province.
The problem, and my question here is: -I have the opportunity to (try =90% sure) join as a scholar and work with the Dig. Mkt. team (mainly focus on the app and maybe i’m the only one doing SEO) and have the opportunity to trial and error. (less salary, less work but more comfier (i don’t like comfort zones xD)). -Or join as a employee, do all the SEO job (which I don’t know how to aboard and what’s first) also co-working with digital marketing team. And try to get results. The thing here is I think i’m capable of, but I don’t know how to aboard some of the problems, also the boss is a close friend of one familiar and I’m scared I can screw something up when they’re doing very good. (more salary, more work (which i like), but I can’t do try-error in my early stages in a SEO job.
Thanks to all, specially the ones who read until the end! ❤️ Sorry if my english is not perfect but in my favour i’m not native.
Hope someone help 🙏🏻
Hi all
I am looking for a web developer to develop a website from scratch and content needs to be optimized for SEO. After the website is ready, you will handle the SEO component.
PM me if you are interested in this job.
Hi all, I’m new to this sub so please forgive me if I’m asking in the wrong place here.
I create a small but quickly growing podcast with my partner and am looking to hire a freelancer to carry out SEO optimisation for the site to drive traffic.
As I hope you can appreciate, there’s a fair bit of jargon which I’m having trouble cutting through as someone unfamiliar with SEO, so I was hoping somebody here might be able to offer some insight into what the fundamental/most important aspects of SEO are that I should ensure a freelancer can offer me.
If it helps, here’s a link to my website: https://www.modernguilt.net
Thanks in advance!

Hey I'm open to gaining only 1 client if any one needs anything. Sorry for the spam. I just was posting this is someone is looking for a freelancer coming to reddit.

Hi there,
I write SEO content for clients and need a tool to help organise clients, set up recurring tasks and get customers to approve content.
Does anyone know of any good solutions?
Hey everyone, a quick background, I've been doing online work since 1999 (seriously) yet I still completely suck at SEO. I've never been good at it no matter how hard I try.
I think the main reason is that I get information overload and end up trying 5 different techniques at the same time and then getting impatient when I don't see instant results because I am not sure if any of the 5 are even valid techniques.
So I humbly ask, if you had to start over with SEO right now and follow a site, youtuber, blog, anything and are confident that person's information will lead you in the best possible direction at ranking high, what would it be?
Disclaimer - I know there is no magical path to ranking and no one person has all the right answers, but I'm basically looking for a guide from someone who knows their stuff and could tell me basic things like...
Stuff like that. A basic checklist to go through to make sure your site is properly built before going through the task of creating the content. I am well aware relevant content is king and that's the only reason I get search traffic today, but I'd like to dominate some key words after making sure my site is properly built.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I feel like my site offers such great information for the topic I am in, but it's buried on like the 4th page for some crucial keywords. And I say that with confidence about offering good content because I do get millions of pageviews a month largely from the social media, bookmarks, and people searching directly for my site. I just need proper site structure to make sure that aspect of SEO is at least correct.
Thanks
Hello -
Just wondering if anyone can give me some tips or point me in the right direction to Rank or at least appear more often on google.\
I have a Store using Word Press, its a very niche market for what i sell and only have one competitor. We post the same products but thiers always shows in the search engine , pretty high ranked where as mine does not. Also Thier pdoducts show instantly in search when its posted.
Any tips on how i can get my site to show in the engine more often, at this point i dont care if its high ranked i want it to show at least.
I have SEO Optimation Plugin Ive switched from go daddy to another service to increase speed Ive compressed my images for faster page loading times.
Any suggestions will help,
I may be biased as a designer but I just haven't seen other websites using this strategy in at least 15 years. I know that it's bad design but is it also bad SEO?
The content of the text is not exactly nonsense but it isn't exactly giving the user useful information, it's just the same info worded different ways over and over. Another thing they want to do is use certain words in H2 headers over and over, which I've asked about here in the past.
I'm trying to figure out if my job hired some amateur posing as an SEO expert or if I should just shut up and do what they say.
Not sure what to do about these pages that are coming up in my audit software as missing description tags. Im assuming this is a common issue for Shopify stores but havent been able to find a verified solution for this.
Is having missing description tags on these view=quick pages affecting my stores ranking? How should i fix these pages if so?
I have been thinking of committing the time towards learning SEO, and applying it as a potential side hustle:
I wanted to ask for insight from everyone on whether you believe SEO is a good idea for a side hustle? I currently have a full time corporate job and would like some side income.
