From Number 4 in SERP to NA in SERP
-
Keyword : speed reading classes
URL : hhtp://www.speedreadingclasses.org/
Earlier the keyword position was # 4 in Google.com
Did a 301 to this from a different PR4 site. I was expecting position 2 or 3 but it went to 9 on last Wednesday. On Thursday It went to # 10 and today it is not even in the SERP.
What might have gone wrong? Is there any way to know about this?
Please help.
Regards
Ray

USA.

are you in India or USA
-
Checked using Google.com again using Firefox this time. #6

You are #6 here in the US (checked in Chrome). Can you see when your rankings shifted ? It might have been the Google Adsense Penalty, but looks highly unlikely to me. I think some minor on-page optimization can help you get back. Slow and Steady wins the race

Using the Bing Toolkit,
but you can see this by using dev tools in IE, press F12 and select network tab
Here is an example
The link to "http://www.speedreadingclasses.org/messages/" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.speedreadingclasses.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fmessages%2F"Why would this redirect, from a frindly url to an ugly url anyhow?
-
How did you check that. through the search engine or by using any tool.
Earlier it was at position 4 (7 days back)

Yopu rank #7 from here in australia for speed reading classes,
Having a look at your site, i see a few problems, i dont know if you have made any changes in the last few weeks you did not say.
But one problem i see is you have very little content on home page, and very little above the fold.
Google now ranks pages lowerif they have little content above the fold.
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-improvement.htmlApart from that, you have over 1800 un-necessary redirects, meaning you have internal links that do not point directly at the correct rul, but are redirected there. Redirects leak link juice. you are missing a lot of link juice.

Fetch and render partial result could this affect SERP rankings [NSFW URL]
Moderator's Note: URL NSFW We have been desperately trying to understand over the last 10 days why our homepage disappears for a few days in the SERPS for our most important keywords, before reappearing again for a few more days and then gone again! We have tried everything. Checked Google webmaster - no manual actions, no crawl errors, no messages. The site is being indexed even when it disappears but when it's gone it will not even appear in the search results for our business name. Other internal pages come up instead. We have searched for bad back links. Duplicate content. We put a 301 redirect on the non www. version of the site. We added a H1 tag that was missing. Still after fetching as Google and requesting reindexing we were going through this cycle of disappearing in the rankings (an internal page would actually come in at 6th position as opposed to our home page which had previously spent years in the number 2 spot) and then coming back for a few days. Today I tried fetch and render as Google and was only getting a partial result. It was saying the video that we have embedded on our home page was temporarily unavailable. Could this have been causing the issue? We have removed the video for now and fetched and rendered and returned a complete status. I've now requested reindexing and am crossing everything that this fixes the problem. Do you think this could have been at the root of the problem? If anyone has any other suggestions the address is NSFW https://goo.gl/dwA8YB

If I 301 redirect a sub-page that is #1, will I risk losing SERP?
I have a site that for some reason Google decided to rank one of our articles #1 for a fairly competitive term. The article is kind of a BS blog post and I want to 301 it to our page about the topic as that's designed for conversion. If I do this, will we risk losing the ranking? If so, what are other options? Can I change the content of the ranked page to something closer to our landing page? Any advice is welcome!

What to do with large number of old/outdated pages?
Are we redoing a large portion of our site (not ecommerce). We have a large number of pages (about 2000 indexed pages, out of about 3000) that have been forgetten about until recently, are very outdated, don't drive any traffic (according to Google Analytics) But they are ranking very well for the targeting keyword (#3 organic for most). What should I do with those pages? Could you give any guidance on whether we should or what affect it might have one the rest of the website if we delete those pages or simply 301 redirecting all those pages to the home page?

My website has dropped in the rankings drastically. How can I get it back up the SERPs?
I manage a website that I took over 6 months ago - the site was sitting happily on page one of google so I haven't had to do much to keep it there - other than a few onsite improvements. However, last week the site dropped off the SERPs. The site is http://www.pro-techairconditioning.co.uk/content/home.html Could someone please suggest reasons for this and ways to solve the problem? Thanks
