Is anyone else's ranking jumping?
-
Rankings have been jumping across 3 of our websites since about 24 October. Is anyone seeing similar?
For example ... jumps from position 5 to 20 on one day, then back to 5 for 3 days and then back to 20 for a day
I'm trying to figure out if it's algorithm based or if my rank checker has gone mad. I can't replicate the same results if I search incognito or in a new browser, everything always looks stable in the SERPs if I do the search myself

This often happens during Google algorthim updates, it might have been that Google was rolling out a very large update around this time?

Google has been pushing out quality content algorithm updates the past month or so. We've been jumping all around but mostly positive jumps since we do produce quality content. I don't think anything is wrong, just riding the Google roller coaster. Give the SERPs a few weeks to settle before you make your next move.

It appears Google has been making some changes to their search engine algorithms over the last couple weeks. I use a bunch of different tools including MOZ Pro and have seen many changes in search rankings across multiple sites.
Volatility today October, 31 is about as high as I have seen it. Here is a link to the MozCast which is a volatility tool.
I hope it helps you.
Best Regards

Thank could certainly be the case, as traffic has been relatively stable. I'll ask my rank checker what they think.
Thanks Tom!

This may have something to do with Google's recent change to show results as country-specific by default, rather than whichever TLD you use (.co.uk, .de, .fr etc).
This is causing a few rank checkers to throw off a few wild results. I've seen all the major ones be affected by this.
If you can't recreate the results and traffic is normal, don't worry too much, as the software people will be making fixes soon.
FYI - if you want to get round Google's change and still get specific results from a specific country, you can add:
&gl=us
&gl=uk
&gl=fr etc.To the end of your query string. Replace the country code with whichever you need.

Only one of our main keywords has made a huge jump when checking today, we hit a bit of a low in late September and hit 25 now it's jumped to 15 after little movement (varying between #22 - #28)... Not sure whether this could be algorithm based but certainly caught my attention today!

We are ranking for unexpected industry keywords; not for the main keywords. What might be wrong?
Hi all, Our company falls into a SaaS industry LIKE seo. We used to rank for our industry keywords just like seo, seo software, etc... We have fallen out of rankings for these obvious top keywords with high search volume, but ranking for these 2 keywords like seo homepage and seo website. I think we have some strong ranking authority at Google by ranking for our industry keywords "homepage" and "website" which represents a very relevant site to the industry. But not sure why we are not ranking for top keywords. Any thoughts on this?

Is it bad from an SEO perspective that cached AMP pages are hosted on domains other than the original publisher's?
Hello Moz, I am thinking about starting to utilize AMP for some of my website. I've been researching this AMP situation for the better part of a year and I am still unclear on a few things. What I am primarily concerned with in terms of AMP and SEO is whether or not the original publisher gets credit for the traffic to a cached AMP page that is hosted elsewhere. I can see the possible issues with this from an SEO perspective and I am pretty sure I have read about how SEOs are unhappy about this particular aspect of AMP in other places. On the AMP project FAQ page you can find this, but there is very little explanation: "Do publishers receive credit for the traffic from a measurement perspective?

Yes, an AMP file is the same as the rest of your site – this space is the publisher’s canvas." So, let's say you have an AMP page on your website example.com:
example.com/amp_document.html And a cached copy is served with a URL format similar to this: https://google.com/amp/example.com/amp_document.html Then how does the original publisher get the credit for the traffic? Is it because there is a canonical tag from the AMP version to the original HTML version? Also, while I am at it, how does an AMP page actually get into Google's AMP Cache (or any other cache)? Does Google crawl the original HTML page, find the AMP version and then just decide to cache it from there? Are there any other issues with this that I should be aware of? Thanks0 -
What's the current situation for exact match ecommerce domains
I'm looking for some current opinions on exact-match domains when it comes to ecommerce sites. I currently own an "OK" brandable domain in a specific ecommerce niche. The opportunity has now come along to own the exact match domain for this category. For example catfood.com Is it more advisable to focus on brandables these days? I know Google doesn't give weight to exact match anymore but is there still a correlation not causation factor to consider? IE: the links back would be more targeted possibly?

Hi Peeps, Hope someone can shed a light on this and show a guidance if possible. We are going to move our sites to shopify and shopify's URL's cannot be customized to match exactly like our current URLs. What steps do I need to take so google knows the URL's are changed. Domain will be the same. Thank you in advanced.

Ranking drop Feb 2013?
I'm trying to get to the bottom of why Directholidays.co.uk suffered a drop in rankings for the term "cheap holidays" in February 2013. Im looking at this recently and as an outsider so I haven't got access to Webmaster tools and I haven't been tracking rankings/link profiling. They moved from 2nd to 10th temporarily and then recovered at 7th the new 10th! I've looked at keywords improved/declined on, keywords lost/gained, traffic, traffic price but im failing to see exactly what I can use to show whether Panda #24 (officially 22nd of January) had a significant effect. Can anyone shed any light on this? It would be massively appreciated!
