I've tried everything, and my blog still falling
-
Hello everyone!
I'm almost desperate, and trying to find a solution to one of my blogs. Below is it URL:
It has more than 3 years, and even so I get just around 700-1000 visitors a day. I have already applied several SEO techniques, tried several SEO plugins, tried to work with keywords, etc, but nothing changes.
I see several other sites and blogs of the same niche (games), with much less content (I have more than 3800 articles, in 3 years), practicing plagiarism, stealing content, etc, and with much more visitors and revenue.
I have never done nothing wrong. Never stole content. I always worked honestly, and always tried to write articles with "something more". I really don't know what happens with XboxPlus.net .
And, how can, for example, Seomoz helps me, here?
I would be very grateful for any help.

There are some good points in the other answers, but honestly do the course.
With all due respect a lot of what the other answers are covering is minor detail compared to the big picture stuff that you are missing. You need to understand that stuff if you want your site to do better. Simply following check lists of technical issues will not get you the big jumps you probably want.
The course will take you through the process. It will help you understand how to identify the keywords that are going to bring you traffic, how to target those keywords effectively, how to spot the sort of issues that others are pointing out and how to build the authority you need to rank for those terms.
I'm not knocking the points others have made. They're all good. However you really need to understand the basics properly and then come back and work through those sorts of points.
The good news is though that if you are getting those traffic numbers from the site in it's current state it has potential. It should be well worth getting this stuff right.

Here are few things that you need to implement –
_Disallow the category pages
Implement Authorship markupAre you doing Link Exchange ?? –

1. Major drop across can be found on those pages
A. where additional content been added B. Low CTR can be a factor C. Excessive/duplicate Tags in Blog Post D. Not modified since long (Drop can be observed in categories-subcategories across all sections which we have not updated since long)
E. Keyword Stuffing -Actions Immediate - 1. Are you using some plugin for link automation? Check if any link through H2/H1 Tag if found disable same link through SMART SEO Plugin of Blog 2. Check all bold/Italicization of keywords. 3.ReWrite URL and 301 For non performing Long URLs? 4. Rewrite all dropped article with greate information spiced with images, graphics, PPT etc. (Visitors engagement) To be implemented through wordpress 1.Add Sub-headers (Category >> Subcategory) For visitor to know where he/she is? 2. Font Size/ Style, shot codes, rich User interface
3. Add elements like Images/ Videos for better use experience and interactivity 4. Implement Canonical tags. Around rss (link:http://www.yoursitename.com/blog/ ) 5. Give special attention to typography, show only 4-5 articles on Home page. Not more than that.6. Use Woothemes for better UI. -
I've only looked briefly and did that through Google translate. However in SEO terms I think that there is a lot of room to improve things.
You might also want to try some different ad positions with your adsense. I suspect that could help with revenue.

Hi Matt,
Thank you. I'll take a look on the "Beginner's Guide". But, after read your post, I am wondering about one of your phrases:
[quote]Looking at that site I would say that you are doing pretty well if you are getting 700-1000 visitors per day. I would have expected that number to be lower.[/quote]
Do not get me wrong, but, means this that the site is bad, poor, or something similar?
Thank you!

Looking at that site I would say that you are doing pretty well if you are getting 700-1000 visitors per day. I would have expected that number to be lower.
You have some real basics missing. Quite a lot of them as well. Rather than rattle off a load of stuff out of context I would say that you need to really understand what SEO entails. One good way of doing that is to work through the whole beginners guide to SEO here on seomoz
That will give you a much better understanding of how search engines can send you more traffic and how you can ensure that your website makes the most of that.
At the end of it I would bet that you would be looking at:
- Starting again with your keyword research
- Restructuring your site to make the most of your keyword research
- Changes to your on page structure
- Ways to get more links
Sorry to just give you a link, but I think that is the best place for you to go next.

Crawl Diagnostics 2261 Issues with Our Blog
I just recently signed up for MOZ, so much information. I've done the walk through and will continue learning how to us the tools. But I need your help. Our first moz crawl indicated 2261 issues (447 404's, 803 duplicate content, 11 502's, etc). I've reviewed all of the crawls issues and they are linked to our Yahoo hosted WordPress blog. Our blog is over 9 years old. The only issue that I'm able to find is our categories are not set up correctly. I've searched for WordPress assistance on this topic and cant find any issues with our current category set up. Every category link that I click returns Nothing Found Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post. http://site.labellaflorachildrensboutique.com/blog/ Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Moz shows duplicate content, but URL's are tagged with campaign tags
Crawl diagnostics shows a lot of pages with duplicate content, but when I check the details, I see that it lists the same page but the url contains a campaign tag, so it's not really another page that is serving identical content... Is there a way to remove these pages out of the Crawl Diagnostics?

Is there anything SEMRush Guru or Enterprise level has that I can't do with SEOMoz Pro?
Okay fellow in-house SEOs, I need some advice please. We are considering an upgrade from SEOMoz Pro to Pro Elite. For a business our size, this is a major investment. I need some compelling reasons why we should go with this upgrade in lieu of simply adding an upgraded membership at SEMRush. Aside from more keywords tracked and more pages crawled (We only have about 5,000 pages, so I'm not sure more pages crawled is even something we need). Right now, it seems the only benefit to us would be the ability to track 2500 more keywords. We don't need more campaigns and we don't need more pages crawled. An extra $300/month is a lot to pay just for the sole benefit of adding more keywords. The reason we are considering this is because we have 6-7 product lines that are all quite different from each other, different keywords, different competitors. All of these products lines are enormously competitive, so of course we want to track each (with competitors) separately so that when I build a Ranking Index (which I learned how to do beautifull thanks to this post by AJ Kohn a few days ago), that my Ranking Index is a truer picture of how we are doing for keywords related to specific product lines, against the right specific competitors. Because of the keyword limitations in SEOMoz Pro (1,000 max), we can't come close to covering everything. Is increasing our level at SEOMoz really the best, most affordable option to do what we want to do? I realize I might get some bias here, but we are really trying to research cost-effective options, as $4,790 is a huge investment for us. Thoughts?

SeoMoz reporting 301 redirects I can't find
So I'm trying to find a bunch of redirects that SeoMoz is reporting that were created by Wordpress but I can't seem to find. I'm finding a bunch of redirects FROM pages like this: www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo/page-name.com redirecting to www.mysite.com/page-name.com Anybody have any idea how I can track down the offending page that has a link to that url. I took a look at my templates and content with the pages and can't seem to find anything that would create it.

Has MozTrust predicted fall in Google rankings???
The definition of MozTrust is:
Moz Pro | | driansmith
"MozTrust is SEOmoz's global link trust score. It is similar to MozRank but rather than measuring link popularity, it measures link trust. Receiving links from sources which have inherent trust, such as the homepages of major university websites or certain governmental web pages, is a strong trust endorsement." That being the case it is quite disturbing that a number of websites have been hit very badly by the latest Google algorithm changes that did indeed have very respectable MozTrust rankings. Can I ask whether anybody has carried out any sort of analysis of MozTrust versus negative impact in Google rankings? The prediction would of course be that websites suffering from a lower MozTrust would have been hit quite badly by these recent changes.0 -
Do Google's recent changes effect the data SEOmoz delivers
Since Google made privacy changes and certain keyword tools such as MS have had to make drastic changes to continuing to be usefull, has SEOMoz encountered any problems and is your keyword data as reliable and accurate as before the Google change?
