My homepage dropped off of Google today? Any ideas?
-
My site, www.leaffilter.com, previously ranked #1 for searches of "leaffilter" and "leaf filter". Today the #1 ranking for "leaffilter" with Google is gone. Well, it's not gone on all internet connection. At home the #1 ranking is in place. At the office computer it is not anywhere near page 1.
I'm testing searches logged in, not logged in, cache and cookies cleared, different browsers.
Other, secondary pages, are appearing on page 1. It looks as if the homepage is just no longer indexed...but not on all internet connection.
Any ideas what is happening? Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips?

I understand what you are saying and I have the same results when I search for it. His home page www.leaffilter.com is not #1 this page is when I search for it. www.leaffilter.com/contact-leaffilter/leaffilter-locations /

Hi
Check your google analytics account, if visits drop therefore you might have lost rankings

Strange. If I search for leaf filter I see you at #1 on my computer and my iphone.
I wonder if someone on your office computer accidentally clicked on "block all results from this website"? It seems to only appear sporadically for me, but occasionally if I go to a site and then go immediately back to the SERPS Google will give me the option to block this site from future searches.
Not sure how to undo it, but if you think that's the case a quick Google search should help you figure it out.

Thanks for checking.
I'm still a little confused as to what might be happening. Attached is a screenshot from a mobile device. Leaffilter.com is not ranking on this connection. And, if I search for "leaffilter.com" a lot of secondary pages are on the SERP, but not the homepage.

I did a quick search on leaffilter, leaf filter and sure enough, you are in 1st place in the SERP with a link to the homepage.
I think you search leaffilter and leaf filter many times on home computer that way at home the #1 ranking is in place.

Homepage disappeared from Google
Hello, Since 2 weeks, our website is losing positions in Google. After years on the first page, we dropped for our main keyword to the 3rd page. Seems that all the positions we lost, were ranking with the homepage. Now, we are on the 3rd page but with a less important page. How is it possible that only the homepage disappeared? Is there any explanation for that? I hope there is an explanation, so we can fix the trouble. Kind regards, Tine

Google Penalties not in Webmaster tools?
Hi everybody, I have a client that used to rank very well in 2014. They launched an updated URL structure early January 2015, and since they rank very low on most of the keywords (except the brand keywords). I started working with them early this year, tried to understand what happened, but they have no access to their old website and I cant really compare. I tried the started optimisation methods but nothing seems to work. I have a feeling they have been penalised by Google, probably a Panda penalty, but their Webmaster tools account does not show any penalties under manual actions. Do people impose penalties that are not added to Webmaster tools? If so, is there away I can find out what penalties and what is wrong exactly so we can start fixing it? The website is for a recruitment agency and they have around 400 jobs listed on it. I would love to share the link to the website but I don't believe the client will be happy with that. Thank you in advance.

Manual Webspam Error by Google!
Hi,back in June 2013, our company received a notice of unnatural links which resulted in 'a manual spam action' from Google.A reconsideration request was filed a week later which received the following response from Google:_'We reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google. There's no need to file a reconsideration request for your site, because any ranking issues you may be experiencing are not related to a manual action taken by the webspam team.'_Naturally we are confused by what seems to be an error in Google's communication.We are also left questioning whether it was necessary to remove the links Google stated were unnatural.Since the notice was received, we have struggled to recover traffic even after implementing Google best practices. Some clarity on the issue would be greatly appreciated.My URL is: www.homefurnitureland.co.uk

Will Google View Using Google Translate As Duplicate?
If I have a page in English, which exist on 100 other websites, we have a case where my website has duplicate content. What if I use Google Translate to translate the page from English to Japanese, as the only website doing this translation will my page get credit for producing original content? Or, will Google view my page as duplicate content, because Google can tell it is translated from an original English page, which runs on 100+ different websites, since Google Translate is Google's own software?

Homepage 302 Redirect For SSL
Hi All, My site, http://domain.com, currently has a 302 redirect from http://domain.com to https://domain.com. The reason we have an SSL cert is because we have a registration and log in form on the homepage (as well as log in options in the top bar of every page on the site - email/password). My question is: When taking SEO best practices into account, would we be better having a 301 redirect from http://domain.com to https://domain.com as most of our inbound links are directed to http://domain.com. Thanks for any help!
