Website help

Hi.

I started my website 2 weeks ago and have written my first article of 250 words about credit cards.

When I Google "best credit card" my website not shows in Google up for any keywords. Not sure why? I am getting no readers so far.

My friend says that I should change from Blogger to Wix for the SEO wizard?

Help?

Competitors have thousands of backlinks that make no sense to me

One in particular has over 40k from two domains. I’m having trouble understanding how they’re doing this. It’s been successful for them for over a year and a half. They’ve been ranking on the front page for plenty of high value keywords and have never been penalized by Google.

The domains seem legit, the individual links come from the same exact page but with slightly different URLs. And there’s a lot of them. Either that or its a spam-like URL within the same domain (topics like online dating, etc).

Should I maintain a URL path?

1- DomainName . com/Services/Service-One
vs
2- DomainName . com/Service-One

Does it make a difference? I was studying Ruan Marinho and Neil Patel websites and they seem to use the second example.

However, I have also read that you need to keep a valid path (example 1) for seo

What's the best way?

Stylize My 2 Word Business Name As One Word - How To Optimize For Branded Searches??

Hi everyone. My brand name is two words that I stylize as a single word. As an example, let's just take the brand "CallRail". Since "Call" is such a prevalent verb across the internet, what is the best way to go about optimizing for such a brand name, knowing that many people may search for it with a space, like "Call Rail".

I don't want to incorrectly stylize it as two words on my own site, however I also don't want people to HAVE to type it as one word in order to find me when, example, "Call Rail" would potentially lead to so many other results (if they weren't a huge company already, which I'm obviously not).

What's the best way to make sure that I can at least show up for people looking for my business even if they type my brand name as two words when I have stylized it on my site as one word? Any good tips for this?

SEO lead gen targeting local businesses but no local presence in that area.

I want to do lead gen for a specific area, but I don't live there or have an office there. I want to create a website, get traffic, qualify customers and then sell those leads.

For example, I'll target "oralndo flooring" and then create content and drive traffic to that site.

Does that mean I can't do Google My Business? Can I just get a PO Box for all location dependent stuff that I'll need for local seo?

Need Real Adult USA-EU Installs

Hello everyone!

I am the manager of small company. Our company is developing soft for desktop pc. Now we almost done with our large-scale project - computer cleaning software.

It works through trial period, so we need to provide our software to people for acquaintance.

There are no spamming ads, bing browser and other dirty tricks, soft is clean and user friendly.

Model is trial, 1-6 months free use and then user should buy a subscription.

We need installs to our product, but affiliate companies who provides installs are mostly unfair and uncontrolable - many bots, many weak installs, and other.

We would like to work directly with webmasters who can provide desktop medium-high level installs (not game traffic, we need adult payable employed people).We can pay 1-3$ for USA install and 0,5$-1,5$ for western europe (uk fr de) install.

Please, give me an advice, where I can find a webmasters, who want to work directly?

WPEngine - My experience

I started using WP Engine about 2 years ago. I moved from Blue Host, so it was significant step up.

Pros:

- Easy to reach customer support

- Good at fixing small issues

- Ease of use

Cons:

- Price: Compared to what you get, it's a total ripoff

- Lack of urgency when your site goes down

- One size fits all service. It's efficient for them, not so much for you.

My site has been down at least a few times, in some cases for almost 2 days. When I contacted WP Engine, they told me that it's because of a "noisy neighbor" sharing the server and there's basically nothing they can do about it. I have a small business website. I cannot afford any downtime during business hours, much less for 2 days.

The last straw was when they force updated everyone to PHP 7.2. My theme had compatibility issues with 7.2. I couldn't even get into the back end to diagnose the problem. They couldn't roll back to a previous PHP version, so I basically had to drop everything and redesign my site. I got the sense that they really don't give a crap about the customer.

It was an absolutely horrible experience. I've migrated to a a small private hosting provider where I get my own server. It's significantly faster than WP Engine.

Just my two cents.

Big drop in impressions, but better rank and CTR

Hi!

I've recently moved my blog to a new domain and I'm still struggling to figure out some things that are happening.

We're experiencing a drop in organic traffic (I made a post about that two days ago), and I looked at Google Search Console for some answers. It turns out I'm even more confused now.

This is what is happening with some of our articles:

  • Performance from two weeks ago (old address, 7 days): 4000+ impressions, 4% CTR and 16,2 average position.

  • Performance in the last 7 days, new address: 1000+ impressions, 8% CTR and 9 average position.

How does this make sense? How does the article have a much better rank (moved from second to first page even!) and much, much fewer impressions?

Mind you that there hasn't been a decrease in searches for the keyword in question. It's not a seasonal subject and I checked Google Trends even.

SEO interview this week

I'm currently in school studying IT and work full time as a graphic designer. I taught myself HTML, CSS, and JS but I more so want to pursue a career in digital marketing specifically in SEO. I got a call back to interview with an incredibly reputable company as a SEO intern and I've never wanted anything as much as this. I kind of know the basics of SEO but really have no in depth knowledge of it nor have I ever utilized it considering I just build basic sites and am more so concerned with functionality. What are some resources I could use to stand out as an applicant and what kind of interview questions do you think they'll throw at me. It's an internship position and I'm incredibly willing to learn and put in the work but was wondering if it'll be a difficult learning curve. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Best Wordpress Plugin for Bulk Internal Linking in 2019? (CSV upload is ideal)

Which WP Plugin will allow me to update links site-wide in bulk, and works in 2019?

IE, I upload a CSV with link/keyword pairs on each line. Then, wherever the keyword appears in the site, the link is applied.

I don't require the ability to apply multiple keywords to a link, since all the keywords in this case are proper nouns (names). But the bulk upload thing is a must.

A bonus might be if I could limit the # of links per keyword per page, just so that my content isn't simply crammed with links (and linking multiple times within content doesn't provide any more authority). But that isn't a must-have.

Thanks!

Do I have too many H2 tags on my homepage?

Hi there!

~3 weeks ago I made a post asking about how long it should take my content changes to take full effect.

So our store ranked for two 1-1,5k volume keywords with the homepage on rank #7 and #9. The homepage was not at all optimized for these keywords so I decided these would be good to target.

I added some content (h2 tags, couple lines of text with each and product sliders). I was hoping to see some improvement but as of today we actually rank #11 and #13 for these keywords. Sucks!

Anyway, a theory I have is that maybe we have too many H2 tags and Google can't decide what they should rank us for.

  • H2 tags in banner slider: 5
  • H2 tags for each section I added: 2
  • H2 tags for every product in the product slider: 8 in each slider, so 16

In total we have 23 H2s. The product slider defaults to using H2s for the products and I feel like maybe this is causing us trouble?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

How would you do SEO for product pages where offers expire?

So there are product pages where the product expires. I don't know when it will expire (go out of stock) and I don't know if it will be re-supplied (sometimes it is re-supplied).

When people use Google, they sometimes land on these product pages where the product is expired and naturally, they bounce.

I am thinking about using en for the .com domain (for international purposes) and adding .com/uk with en-gb (for the UK market).

Urgent help needed. Organic Traffic dropping fast

Hi there.

I work for a tech company and our blog has recently been migrated to a new address.

On March 21st, which was the first day with proper tracking after migration, we had around 600 organic sessions, which was around our daily average up to then, in the old address. The next day, we had about 480, which is still acceptable. However, it dropped to 300-something, then 200-something for 2 or 3 days, and today it hasn't even hit 200.

This is very bad, and we have no idea what could be causing this massive drop with this pattern.

First of all, all 301 redirects have been properly carried out. They're all functional and our posts are already indexed by Google with the new addresses. All URL slugs were kept the same as the original versions and every article was pretty much kept the same, except for a few minor changes here and there.

The new blog's pagespeed is currently much better than the previous website (although it still isn't how it should be).

Google Search Console shows no errors, we haven't received any messages about Google penalties or anything, tracking seems to be working properly (after all, we had a reasonable number of sessions for the first few days) and the problem really is with search impressions, which GSC shows to have dropped.

We can't think of anything else that could be causing this and we don't know what to do.

If there had been a problem with the redirects or migration, we wouldn't have had good numbers for the first few days. Why is it continuously dropping over 6-7 days?

Also, today I noticed I hadn't included the sitemaps in the robots.txt file (I have now), but I don't think that was a problem, since I had submitted them to Webmaster Tools and everything was already properly indexed.

What could be happening here? Any suggestions? Really need your help.

A bit nervous that I messed up. Did I?

I am brand new to SEO, only started two months ago and I am concerned that I may have done something I shouldn't have or did'nt do something i should have. 2 months ago started working on a new employers Shopify website which had no prior SEO done to it. 6 weeks ago I switched to a new theme and started technical SEO. I renamed every 500+ pictures with SEO friendly names, filled out every alt tag, started the blog back up, made sure all header, title, meta description were filled out and SEO friendly, submitted site map to search engines, and more that I cant think of right now. I have read many SEO checklists online and followed them all. Also improvements in Site speed and functionality, along with corrected shipping prices and products weights have been made. Basically the site is about 85% brand new. We also bought a shortened version of our website name and put a 301 redirect to the new domain.

Basically my question is this. In the last couple of weeks traffic and sales have dropped, and we no longer show up on image searches for certain keywords. Is this because the content we used to rank for has changed and it takes a while for the search engines to rank that change?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

How Google March Update could be killing Plastic surgery patients

This new update is not only about content, is about page authority. You will see different posts talking about Link building being extremely important for this update. However in my industry that could be deadly.

I work for a plastic surgery center in South Florida, I have over 18 years on digital marketing management. We rank pretty high on several relevant keywords, the speed of our website based on google insights is 82/100, our main competitors have it around 60/100. In terms of UX we are doing great, there is always room for improvement, and I work daily on the website to have the best rank possible.

On march 12, 2019 Google decided to roll a new algorithm update, one of the main factors for ranking is now page authority, and link building. We dropped in rakings, One of our major competitor which only has a pagespeed of 2/100 is now ranking higher. While doing research through ahrefs and SEMrush, I noticed the competitors have links from the the HuffPost, from Miamiherald, the Medicaldaily, and the main reason is because both competitors are under investigation for patients deaths.

There has to be a solution for this, in some way Google may be giving more patients to a business who are infamous. I know the ranks will eventually change to favoring UX, pagespeed, and content, meanwhile the ranks are about who is more noticeable on the web, and that could be deadly in some industries.

why oh why does scoopwhoop rank so high?

On a search for famous speeches, scoopwhoop, which appears to be nothing but a content spinner, ranks in the top three results. How is that possible? There doesn't even seem to be much to the page itself. How is it competing so successfully for this keyword?

Before and after website SEO

I'm looking for examples of websites before and after an SEO-oriented overhaul. It's surprisingly difficult to find. Do you know of any websites that had a major turnaround in terms of SEO? I'd love to find an example of a website that was terrible (I can use the wayback machine to see previous versions), especially one that included keyword stuffing, and that then redesigned to become fantastic and content oriented. Why can't I find this!!!

Will replacing product images that are almost 10 years old hurt SEO?

Hi All,

We are working on an ecommerce website that is almost 10 years old and needs a refresh. We are going to be changing the existing theme but keeping the URL structure the same for products, posts, categories, etc. In preparing for this upgrade, we have decided to take higher quality pictures of the products and change the existing images on the website.

So if product A has 5 images, we will be removing all of these images and replacing them with 5 or less new ones. We will enter new title tags, alt tags, etc.

My Question - Is this suicide from an SEO standpoint? We would be removing/replacing all product images with new ones that are higher quality and hopefully optimized to load faster. The website ranks really well for the keywords needed (top 3 positions) and I'm curious if removing the crawled images by google for the past 10 years will be a hit and not something I should mess with.

Thank you.

Question on canonical links and/or proper organization

My blog does a weekly power ranking... but I’m worried that I am competing with myself as a number of the articles show up in a search. Is the proper way to do this sort of thing to make a page like /power-rankings/ and set it as the canonical link for all of the individual posts so that they all go through the one page? Will that help with my SEO by having only one “main page”?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I’ve been searching but can’t seem to find a conclusive answer...

Where to go from here...

I am a photographer who has focused on weddings the past 6 - 7 years. I have done quite a bit of SEO work on my website receiving about 1600 organic visits a month for the past couple years. I understand SEO to some degree but am in no means an expert. I am really unsure where to go from here. I'd really like to boost those numbers as the visits really help with inquiries.

I am currently on the 3rd /4th page for many keywords I would love to be on the 1st page for. Is there any good reading on how to bump these keywords up? Are there any trustworthy, reliable, and good people/companies out there to help with this sort of project?

The most recent work I have done is using some of the SEMrush tools as well as buy local/niche citations with WhiteSpark. WhiteSpark should be starting the work in the coming week so I don't have any data yet.

How to best 're-use' or canonicalise blog vs product content?

I've written some relevant keyword optimised blog articles, that appear under /blogs. So these are helpful content for ranking my site overall, and getting people to backlink to them. On each blog page I also link to the relevant product(s) of interest.

Thing is though, I really want google searchers to come straight to the product page, not to a blog page to then probably not click on the product link.

I was thinking of embedding a relevant blog article as a kind of 'read more to understand it piece' at the bottom of each product page. In my mind this would make my product pages much more relevant, then I would canonicalise the blog posts to the product page so I wasn't penalised for duplicate content. Backlinkers would still tend to link to the blog page.

Does this make sense as an approach?

International SEO questions

We are transferring our domain to .com and we are going into the UK market. Still, we also have some clients from other European countries and the US. The site is, at the moment, in 2 languages and we will be adding more EU countries down the road.

I am thinking about having .com/en-gb with geo-targeting. Is it worth it to come up higher in the UK or doesn't add that much while diminishing our visibility in other regions for the moment?

Also, let's say we take his road and make .com/en-us later on. I would like to display the same content with only a few language-specific changes. Is hreflang enough to do this? Will those /en-gb/blog/xcontent articles transfer any juice to /en-us/blog/xcontent ones?

Advice on prerender.io from an SEO pov

Hi guys,

The design agency we are working with are building a client's site which is built as an angular app and uses prerender.io to allow search engine crawling.

I have zero experience with prerender but I wanted to know if this will negatively impact SEO in anyway, what are some of the limitation and disadvantages and advantages. According to their website it allows websites to be 'crawled perfectly by search engines'... I dearly hope so.

Any advice would be helpful

How to rank higher with my 2 websites

We have one site about bodypainting & makeup and another one about photography (my husband). I scanned them both with Moz and got the following results: DA 13 for him and 20 for me, a lot of duplicates and 5xx or so.. unpossible to fix those.. many duplicated pages because weebly uses html at the end... My biggest surprise: our keywords are not ranking.. only 1-3 on place #1-#4 but the rest 50+ very bizarre.. It would be great to rank at least for bodypainting luxembourg and photography luxembourg at #1.. hmm.. I'll keep dreaming... Anyway I am starting to create a better structure on the sites, only h1 tags and separate and group keywords etc..after this I'll translate them in french too and try to find writers who are interested in writing for our blog or guestblogging for high authority blogs or mags with our links included. Well, thats my plan.. we'll see who the plan looks after a week or so ;) any idea which high autority sites accept articles with dofollow links to my site? I just need to find great writers for our topics...

Locked out from accessing website from my brother. What are my options?

We have a website that I have access to the google account but not the hosting. What can I do ? Iv contacted the site hosting but they won't help me because its in my sister in laws name. I contacted google but they said I have to go through site hosting even tho the google is all in my name and iv verified myself

My dad has had a website for our family buisness since 1999 he has a pretty hard to get domain too. He spent thousands of dollars a week getting it on top of google also.

My brother helped him with finding the website person and became friends with her. My dad got my brother his own site eventually too.

I got into the family buisness last 4 years and took over my dads part and my dad since he already gave my bro a website said he wanted to give me the original and put the domain in my name even. My brother went to our website lady and had her take hosting website from dads name put it in his wifes.

I told my dad but he doesn't understand how it all works and him and my bro get into big fights so I really can't involve him too much but is there anything I can do besides sue ? That would stress my dad way too much

Need SEO help for niche with local targeting.

How would you all tackle this situation. I have a law firm based in Atlanta. We have partners around the U.S and can also do work in various other cities like Miami, New Jersey, Philly, etc. I have 2 questions for you SEO experts out there.

  1. What else can I put on my law firm's web-page instead of using the term "Blog" where all my keyword-targeted posts will go. The term "Blog" doesn't sound very professional on a Law firm's website.

  1. How would you go about getting the content for the "blog" for different locations. Can I use the SAME article and just swap out cities. Let's say I have an article that tells you how an auto-accident lawyer based in Miami can benefit you and get you compensation. Can I use the exact same article and change the city from Miami, to New Jersey, to Philadelphia, etc? Or would that be considered duplicate content?

Wouldnt it also look fishy if someone came across my website and saw articles with nearly identical titles (ie: "Why an auto-accident law firm can benefit you in New Jersey, why an auto-accident law firm can benefit you in Miami, why an....."

Found a page not indexed, how do I check my site has been properly indexed by Google?

A couple of questions here. Firstly, I was looking at some pages in a specific area of a website that does well for organic search. The idea was to tweak low performing pages and the first page I look at (from 2016) isn't actually indexed. Other pages from the sane time or the ones I've looked at so far (around 5) are indexed.

I use a sitemap via the Search console to let Google pick it up the site's content this way.

Therefore I'm confused why this page hasn't been indexed and what's the best way to easily check the other pages in this section of the website have been indexed?

2nd Q. I've been using the URL Inspection in console to check if new content is being indexed. This is usually on the day it's published or the day after. If it isn't I 'request indexing'. Just wondering if this the best way to get it indexed or if I should I resubmit the sitemap. Requesting it works well but just wanna make sure this is the best approach.

I added in the text good keywords that would would rank for relevant keywords for google.ro, but for some reason, today I couldn't find the homepage for any keyword anymore on google.ro SERP. The link's homepage remained the same (I however changed from http to https) and I redirected all the old links, to the new links (I changed the link structure for a page).

When i search on google with "site:" i see that it is still indexed. I also made sure that there is no "noindex" tag on my website.

Also, I added to the console both https:// and https://www. Should I re-submit for indexing in the console?

What would be the best 2-letters code for International region URL? /it? /ww?

Hey guys, how would you create URLs combining different regions and languages?

The situation here at the company is that we have two languages, English and German.

And we are expanding to different countries around the globe, with a standard offer, EXCEPT for USA and Germany. So it makes sense to have 4 different combinations.

  1. English / USA
  2. English / International
  3. German / Germany
  4. German / International

My struggle is how would the URL look like for the International region, but keeping it short?

.com/int/en for International
.com/ww/en for Worldwide

Would have any idea?

Can I SEO my site myself?

I know that I have to get my site SEOed. Should I hire an agency? Or should I get it done myself? I understand the SEO steps, and have a good content creator. Is there a do-it-yourself SAAS app for it?

Shocked! Competitor with F pagespeed suddenly rank higher than me

Hi all, Can someone visit my site and see if there's anything wrong? When i checked my rankings today, a competitor with old fashion outdated site and slow pagespeed suddenly overtook and rank higher than my site.

On most page speed testers, my site scores like so much better. Except for on WebPageTest.org. My site's first byte time failed at 2.957s. While competitor is 1.348s. Does google SEO only considers the first byte when taking into account the page speed? If so, how can i improve my first byte time? Any thoughts or enlightenment would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Inclusion of photography in articles, text width and special character use.

I often like to include stock photography in my articles and while they don't take up a lot of space (I tend to crop them so they're not very tall) they do end up above the text and title when a user lands on a page. I try to use them to reflect the section I'm going into and always alt tag properly. I've also used some special characters to split sections up on occasion such as a line of ♦ these types of characters. ♦♦♦ This is an example.

On desktop and larger displays my pages are dynamically set up to allow a secondary column with suggested articles on the right hand side. This takes roughly 1/3rd of the space. Could this also be damaging?

Is my boss stupid or is it me?

We have a law website and my boss wants me to target it to international audience. The problem is that the content on the website is very little. We have like 7 page and the average no of words in those pages is around 100-150. And since it's a law website he has asked me not to add any blog section or make any change to the content. I keep asking for content and he says the website has enough content when it doesn't. He is not a marketing person though, he was into sales earlier.

So my question, am I wrong to ask him for content or is my boss just stupid?

Will adsense affect ranking?

I just recently added adsense and my rank 1 keyword dropped 3 spots to some sites that look like junk. Also recently I added 2 hyperlinks to one of my most recent posts on my homepage which is the one that ranks. Also to note was I’ve probably resubmitted a few too many sitemaps recently. Not much else I can think of other than those things, the sites been inactive for years and I just bought it and have been posting regularly, shouldn’t the seo score go up?

Google showing product images more in mobile search result

Apparently from 40% to 70%.

Does anyone have any insights as to what is affecting whether an image is shown?

Do ALT tags and filenames have any impact?
I'm assuming they only show for websites with a larger authority?
Any other insights/tips?

How long to be indexed after improving SEO?

Do you just wait to be re indexed? Or do you re-submit robots.txt everytime you make changes?

Google doesn't seem to be indexing my site

So, I just checked my new website on the search console, and it seems as though my homepage has been excluded because there is a 'page with redirect'. It seems as though Google has recognised some other random site (which doesn't even load) as my canonical?

What would you guys recommend for this?

Multiple owners of a property on Google, Questions. Also, confused about how to designate a main property in search console.

So I received this notification in my email today letting me know my other account has been added as an owner and I'm wondering if it's critical to anything. I have two owners, both are my accounts. One is the G Suite account and the other is the account that I bought the domain and registered G Suite with. I also use this second account to manage adsense. Anyone know if it even matters to Google search if I have two owners instead of one?

I also have multiple versions of my domain listed in Google search console (as directed) and received an email telling me to make sure I designate a main account so Google knows how to index but this feature is not showing up on the old search console. The email even says this feature is only available on the old search console and the help article directs me to a gear cog where the option no longer exists.

Thanks so much
