Hi there, I am a beginner in seo, and I am doing it for my site. Most of the keywords were in 2 page of google in last month. I have redesigned my site and put google analytics and webmaster tool again. I don't know what happened my keywords are not showing up on Google at all. why this has been happened. It is visible to other search engines but not google. I have a doubt on google webmaster tool cuz it was not verified on time. Can anybody tell lme Please help I need this urgently
Google has been releasing updates to its algorithm these past few months. It sounds like it has caught up with your website. Make sure to have good, quality content that is relevant to your domain name, you need high quality backlinks that are also relevant to your topic with a variety of anchor text(also relevant).
When you did your redesign, did you do a lot of changes to your title tags and H tags? If you give us the URL there is a lot more we can do to help. Also, when did you do the redesign? Maybe it's just a few days away from being ranked again and the bots just need to crawl it. Oh, biggest problem people forget to do with redesigns is to make sure that ALL old page urls are 301 redirected to the new pages IF the URLS changed in any way. Make sure you check that.
Hey kiliki, I had redesign the website on the 1st week of august. Then I have started the on page and off page activities. Yes I have changed the title tags, and now it is different from the previous one. I have put only the contents same and put same keywords but in different-different pages. Is this the reason my keywords are not visible on google? If it is the correct reason, can you tell me if I re put them on the same sequence will be reflect now where they were earlier? Also kindly let me know why my alexa not showing up. Page rank is visible, backlinks also visible, but not alexa why? Also can you let me know how I can do the process of 301 redirected, i think some url has been changed.
Hey steve, can you tell me how can I detect my website have been caught up? Is there any way to do that?
I went to Google and did a search: site:yourwebsite.com The first thing I noticed when doing a search like this is that you have all your website page descriptions exactly the same. Each page should have it's own unique description. If you need to know where to adjust this it's the code that looks like this: <Meta Name="Description" Content="THIS IS THE TEXT WHERE THE DUPLICATE CONTENT IS ON EVERY PAGE">By the way, while looking at your "About" page, I noticed that you have an excessive amount of meta keywords. I know many SEO's say that Google does not put a lot of weight in this, but you may want to cut down the number of phrases you have there for the search engines that do to about 8-10 max (and I believe Google does still peek at this, just doesn't add a lot of credibility to it). Also, some of the title tags have the city and state running together as one word. Google is pretty smart and may figure it out, but it might help to make it clearer to Google by adding a single space between. I am totally sure that making them back to the original way the old site had it will fix the problem completely, it would depend how it was originally put. Your title tags seem to hit nicely on the keywords, so that might not be a big factor. **What is more important is that you do the next below.** To answer your 301 redirect question, sometimes you can do it at the host level. I host with Bluehost.com and in their cpanel they have a place to do "redirects" which is very easy to figure out. If you are unsure if your host provides it, most customer service people can help you find it. Sorry, I know there is a way to do it by manipulating the htaccess files or something like that, but I'm not that knowledgeable with the more sophisticated ways. The pages that Google has indexed for your site are all working links to live pages, so there may not be any stray pages indexed anymore, but there may be links that you had going to your site that are no longer helping you. I took a look at what your site was like back on July 9th, 2008 and noticed that ALL your pages had different urls than today. You can do this by going to archive.org and inputting your website, this will show you all your old pages if you don't have record of them (sidenote, that flash opening video is eye catching, I would embed that video on your home page or services page to keep visitors longer, just don't do it as a splash screen like before). ***SPECIAL NOTE*** This is where I think you lost all your ranking. All the benefits of all the backlinks that used to go to your site have disappeared which is why you lost your page rank. You must fix this immediately before people start removing the links they built to you by doing the 301 redirects right away. This could have you jumping back up the ranks within a week or two after you fix this. I am 95% sure this is the problem. Your old site build had good longevity with archive captures going back to 2005. Make sure all page urls from the old site point somewhere on the rebuilt site. Don't forget that your old home page url was different with /homepage.html at the end of the old site and should point to the main homepage now. Regarding Alexa, you may have dropped off Alexa's map completely if your traffic dropped too low, or perhaps the rebuild has something to do with it. To be honest, I don't analyze alexa stuff too often or too deeply like I do analytics, so I am not really sure. I am very very curious as to how your rankings improve after you fix these things. PLEASE keep me up to date if it works.
Hi kiliki, I am highly obliged of your help. I will do accordingly what you have mentioned. I really need your help and really you are the one who really understand my problem and provided me solution. Thanks a ton
