My site is not ranking at all.
-
Can anybody check it what is the main culprit behind my website's growth?
-
Thanks for investing your time mate. No, I didn't experience the traffic drop with any algorithm update. As I mentioned, I had shifted my site from .in to .com and also with that, server locations got changed. When I had .in domain, it was ranking and I was quite satisfied with the rank. I was ranking 5 out of 1 articles, but now, It not happens.
I've noindexed those pages, because they were not adding any value to my ranking and site, instead causing the duplicate issue problem.
Do you recommend me changing the current domain name? Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't realize that you wanted those pages to be noindexed.
We brought it up because from what we can see, it looks like you only have a few pages indexed.
How many pages does Google Search Console tell you they have indexed?
Sometimes content pruning (deleting or noindexing pages) can be good. But it's also possible that it can hurt you if you've noindexed some pages that were ranking and driving traffic to your site. Not only do you lose the traffic they had but you lose their PageRank value to your site and any internal link value to other pages of your site.
Also, you mention that you want to get your site back on track. When did you see the traffic drop? Was it around the same time as some changes you made to your site? Did it coincide with a major algorithm update?

Before I was changing the domain, I knew the terms So, I redirected it to the current domain and later, removed the old domain permanently. And I don't get this, How come noindex urls affect the Overall SEO?. I'm just confused. I don't want those urls to get indexed, because they were causing the duplicate pages issue. Could you clarify that why noindex tags can affect the indexable urls?.
-
Well your biggest problem is that fact that the bulk of your site is noindexed.
You should run your site through ScreamingFrog to find out which of your pages are noindexed and fix that.
I manually clicked through a few dozen pages and found that the following pages are all noindexed:
- https://www.10stuffs.com/technews
- https://www.10stuffs.com/product-cat/tablets/
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brands
- https://www.10stuffs.com/brand/dell/

Also did you redirect your old domain name to your current domain name?

I've designed it, but not the whole site. And you'r seeing the handful of posts indexed on google because, I've recently submitted some posts to noindex for some reason. I don't think by searching for term like site:10stuffs.com will give the accurate results, that's because, when typing a url separately, results are the same.
There is no duplicate content, no copied and also I don't see any technical issue. The reason could be the hosting servers, as I had different locations earlier and also I had changed my domain name once.
Other than that, I don't think there is any problem. What do you think and please do suggest me what to do to get my website back on track.
My articles used to be indexed instantly but all of a sudden, they are taking days to appear in the search result.
I write news based contents so, fast indexing the is the matter of some concern to me.

Running a quick "site:" search on your website, I can see that there are a handful of pages that are indexed. I can also see that you only have 2 posts up and they were published very recently. Additionally, a few elements on the menu are not linked to any pages. So I'm wondering if the site is relatively new or has been redesigned recently?

Can Someone explain why this site ranks #1 and #2? I am confused.
Hi everyone, Here is my problem. This site: https://247ride.com/town-cars/ ranks for bunch of really good keywords. Such as lax car service, car service to lax etc. The keyword does not appear in Title tag, and only partially on meta description. The site's DA is 23 and PA is 22. Less than 29 links overall, and linking domains 8. Why in your opinion Google is ranking this page #1 and #2 for many competitive keywords. I know it's a hard question to ask but any input would be greatly appreciated. I am working really hard to rank for same keywords and so far i am at #11 position. Thanks in advance, Davit

Keyword keeps fluctuating between a high rank and no rank?
I've searched around and I can't seem to find anyone else describing the issue I'm seeing. Basically for a very long time our website (snappages.com) has always ranked in the tens and twenties for "create a website". It's a high volume keyword and we get a lot of traffic from it. Around May 16th it suddenly disappeared completely from search results on Google and now it will sporadically show back up with a SERP in the twenties every 5-10 days for a few hours and then completely disappear again. This pattern has continued to this day. I've checked and there are no manual penalties and nothing has really changed dramatically from a content perspective or anything like that. I would understand if we got penalized and our ranking dropped, or even if it just completely disappeared? This is the only keyword that this is happening for, all the others remain unaffected. Anyone know how I can find out why this is happening or have suggestions on how to fix it?

Implications from portfolio site
I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding links coming into main site from another site in the client portfolio. The main site we are working on has been going great, organic traffic has grown considerably. The past few weeks there has been a subtle decline including ranking for a few keywords down a little. What I have noticed is that there is another site in the portfolio (that I am not working on) has had a steady tailspin in organic traffic since Jan and i've been informed it is a dying site in terms of the products offered. This has some links in the main menu going directly to the main site. My gut feeling is to isolate the secondary site from the main (no-follow or remove links), but the impact on slightly dropped rankings on the main site is not directly related to those linked pages. Would you go for it and isolate anyway?

Development site is live (and has indexed) alongside live site - what's the best course of action?
Hello Mozzers, I am undertaking a site audit and have just noticed that the developer has left the development site up and it has indexed. They 301d from pages on old site to equivalent pages on new site but seem to have allowed the development site to index, and they haven't switched off the development site. So would the best option be to redirect the development site pages to the homepage of the new site (there is no PR on dev site and there are no links incoming to dev site, so nothing much to lose...)? Or should I request equivalent to equivalent page redirection? Alternatively I can simply ask for the dev site to be switched off and the URLs removed via WMT, I guess... Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

PA59 DA51 Yet the site hardly ranks
Hello All, I wonder if you'd kind enough to help with your insights... The site is www.dataclinic.co.uk It's been up and running since 2002 and is a data recovery related site that for years ranked on page 1 for lots of data recovery search terms. Now it's hardly ranking at all, despite decent content and updated blogs. Google (via Webmaster tools) says the site hasn't been penalized for bad links... but we are searching for an explanation as to why it's so difficult to get our once good rankings back.... (For example, the main search term we'd like to rank for is "data recovery"... we are currently on page 8... [google.co.uk search]... why???) Any ideas greatly appreciated... and I'll reply to each of you privately if you wish. Thanks for your time. Chris

Whats peoples thoughts on this? Does it work? Is it worth the effort? Im not so sure but obviously looking for ideas. Cheers
