bad linking on google

    Hi there, I own a blog since one year and the problem is that I do not get enough visitors from search engines. Someway I think that I figured out the problem what it keeps me out of search engines, bad linking in google?
    With bad linking I mean, that many things are linked in google that are not important like photos, and deleted articles. What can I do about this?
    Will google delete them by itself when will se that's nothing there, or is my job that.
    I didn't post anything about my website, I think that somebody will think that I did this post because of getting traffic from here, anyway if it's okay if someone ask I will post my link.

    If you have deleted pages you should be throwing 404 errors which tells Google that the page is gone and they'll be removed eventually (has taken 3 years in some cases I've seen)
    Image optimisation is a technique you'll find talked about here so don't think that having your photos indexed is a bad thing.

    The main question you have to ask yourself is if your site and your pages deserve more traffic?
    Is your site worthy of being in the top 10 of all the sites talking about the topics that you talk about?
    Have you got your on page SEO right?
    Have you got your off page SEO right?

    The traffic is out there, you just have to earn it.

    I doubt that's the problem. Keep your sitemap updated on those results cached by Google will soon disappear. If you provide link to your web site I will tell you what's really wrong with it ;)

    Thanks for these replies. My site.
    I would really need a kind review of my website. I have wrote some good articles (I think) and I'm not even in google ten first pages. I can't understand that. The question is for this article How to Create Google AdSense Account in 2016

    @sarahk is there any way to remove these 404 pages by my self, to report on google. I don't want to wait 3 years

    Your link didn't work
    I believe you are worrying unnecessarily about those 404s. Make sure the headers are right and move on.

    Keeping the sitemap updated has nothing to do with the thread because the traffic and the search engines are his problems. For this, the blog must focus on its target audience in which will provide new and interesting blog post for the users so that it will gain target traffic to the site.

    Well, after he provides new and interesting blog posts for the users he definitely needs to keep his sitemap updated so the site can be properly crawled and indexed by Google.... If his sitemap isn't updated and contains deleted posts for instance, will generate in google crawling a lot of 404 errors... Which is bad... So how can you say "Keeping the sitemap updated has nothing to do with the thread"...???

    Darling, to get visitors from search engines he needs optimization on all SEO aspects. Since SEO means Search Engine Optimization, is obvious that you optimize to get visitors from search engines... And sitemaps are one of the factors of a job well done. So tell me how is this not related. He mentioned on 1st thread: "many things are linked in google that are not important like photos, and deleted articles. What can I do about this? " and my response to that is obviously keep an updated sitemap...

    We all know that general term SEO and there is no need to mention it. What? Sitemap as one of the factors of a "job well done"? Would you mind to explain this? :eek:
    Too much sitemap in your mind :D so take it easy and learn other related things. :cool:

    Have you got any evidence of how long it takes?
    I know I can point to articles and show when they were created, when they were removed and the legal threats 3 years later because the article was still in the SERPS.
    You say "soon disappear" but we have no idea of what you mean by "soon".

    You sound like a cabbie “Where you goin’, darlin’?”

    Well there's no term or deadline, therefore the "soon"... You can speed up by requesting the removal on Google Search Console. So "soon" can be weeks or months... But you can speed up that process by doing what I mentioned before.

    Don't make a great deal how I engage in a conversation with people since my native language is not English, so have no idea what you mean by saying I sound like a cabbie,you sound racist by that comment

    Not racist, I just don't like sexist pigs regardless of where they come from. I've spent months in Portugal. I never heard men calling complete strangers "Darling" in any language.

    London cabbies, I guess
    Never caught a cab in Portugal, mostly pedal power or sharing rides with friends we made.

    Once again you are implying that I look like an Asian London cabbie but I couldn't care less.

    Never saw an Asian driving a cab back in the '90s, they were usually East Enders abusing the shit out of cyclists. And I used the word "sound".

    Google Disavow Tool is for backlinks which was not mentioned as a possible problem so far on this thread...
