Two of Pages Have Been SendBoxed
-
Hello,
I was number 1-2 for my local keyword term, but now im nowhere, those two urls dont even show up in Google search results, my other pages DO, so that is obvious Google sendboxed them, i dont remember doing aggressive non quality link building, and its not a competitive term, since i was number 1 in Google for over 3 months or so
i checked this tool and found that two of my urls are in sendbox http://www.searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm
I was never sendboxed before, can you help me how can i get out of this, since its my client's website, and i have to get those pages up as soon as possible
Thank You

Hi Irving,
I did removed robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!
Do i still need to change the URL's and let the old ones 404?
Thanks
-
Thanks a lot Irving, i just removed them, but why it was there anyways?
i never created this
<meta name="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robots</a>" content="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> so after all this, my pages will get indexed ? thanks
-
Oh remove the robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!!! Check your other pages too to make sure you're no unintentionally blocking them.

<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> http://www.asggutter.com/gutter-protection-system/``` <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

these type of links are most likely the culprit. Did you get an email in WMT about unnatural link profile detected?

Hi,
But it looks like the entire site's organic visibility is .. flat line.
See a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LDe92AnA
You did had a spike up but then it went flat line again.
It also looks like you only have 4-5 keywords ranking on the second page and those are the best rankings for now.
So it's not only the two pages that have issues...
Am i missing something ?
Hope it helps.

sounds like those pages have been suppressed. probably the link building you did, doesn't have to be aggressive, just has to be too many similar anchor texts and/or sitewides etc.
change the URLs and let the old ones 404. start over with fresh urls.
-
Hi,
Can you post the domain name and the two urls so we can have a look at the visibility?
Cheers.

Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical.
Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical. https://studyplaces.com/about-us/ The pages affected by this include: https://studyplaces.com/50-best-college-party-songs-of-all-time-and-why-we-love-them/ https://studyplaces.com/15-best-minors-for-business-majors/ As you can see the content on these pages is totally unrelated to the content on the about-us page. Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve.

Page Juice not moving???
Moved URL's from ldnwicklesscandles.com to ldnwicklesscandles.co.uk because I wanted to rank better for UK where I'm located and thought also the .co.uk for my competitors may have been giving them the advantage. Use Squarespace 7 (transferred over from SS5)----they told me to set primary domain to .co.uk and I've done it. I've also done a 301 redirect and done a change of address in webmaster tools although I'm not sure if all of this is needed? Squarespace seem to think just setting the primary domain is enough. My question is its been a couple of weeks, I've resubmited to Google webmaster to try to speed things up, the new URL is appearing in Google but none of my Page Juice seems to be transferring yet? How long will it take? I know not all the juice will move over but my PA/DA is non existent now and I have no idea if I'm just being impatient or I've done something wrong here. Not a Pro, Just a small biz owner here so forgive me if this has been asked before.

Diagnostic says too many links on a page and most of the pages are from blog entries. Are tags considered links? How do I decrease links?
I just ran my first diagnostic on my site and the results came back were negative in the area of too many links one a page. There were also quite a few 404 errors. What is the best way to fix these problems? Most of the pages with too many links are from blog posts, are the tags counted as well and is this the reason for too many links?

No index directory pages?
All, I have a site built on WordPress with directory software (edirectory) on the backend that houses a directory of members. The Wordpress portion of the site is full of content and drives traffic through to the directory. Like most directories, the results pages are thin on content and mainly contain links to member profiles. Is it best to simply no index the search results for the directory portion of the site?

What Are The Page Linking Options?
Okay, so I'm working with a site that has pretty good domain authority, but the interior pages are not well linked or optimized. So, it ranks for some terms, but everything goes to the home page. So, I'd like to increase the authority of the interior pages. The client is not wild about spreading targeted juice via something like a footer. They also don't like a "Popular Searches" style link list. The objection is that it's not attractive. They currently use cute euphemisms as the linking text, so like "cool stuff" instead of "sheepskin seat covers." In that made up example, they'd like to rank for the latter, but insist on using the former. What about a slide show with alt text/links? Would that increase the authority of those pages in a term-targeted kinda way? Are there other options? Does it matter how prominent those links are, like footers not as good as something higher up the page? They currently use a pull-down kind of thing that still results in some pages having no authority. Do bots use that equally well? Thanks!
