.net has replaced our .com rankings - what the heck?
-
We have a www.domain.net that domain forwards to www.domain.com.
About 5 days ago, when searching for our brand term, I noticed that www.domain.net took the top position, and most of our www.domain.com rankings have dropped. The www.domain.net is set to forward to www.domain.com.
Any ideas what could cause something like this to happen?

Did a 301 fix things?
-
Thank you. I will change to 301 and see if that fixes the issue.
-
That could be, as a 302 is a temporary redirect. You'll want a 301 there.
-
one other piece of information i've discovered...
it seems as though www.domain.net is set as 302 redirect to www.domain.com.
Could this be the issue?
-
No, it is simply forwarded.
Here is a little more info...
http://domain.net forwards to
http://www.domain.nethttp://www.domain.net forwards to
http://www.domain.comhttp://domain.com forwards to
http://www.domain.com -
Strange, assuming you weren't logged into google when checking?
Have you got analytics for the .net? Or is it simply fowarded?

Broken images & Rankings
Hi I have seen a big drop in a keyword going from position 3 to out of the top 100. The only thing I can see that went wrong, was an issue with broken images - could this be the reason for the drop? Becky

Ranking in SERPs but not using terms on website.
As far as I know, it's not normally possible for a website to rank for a keyword that is not mentioned on the website. I have seen a website that ranks very well for key terms and yet they are not mentioned anywhere on the website, I have run advanced search & checked using tools including cloak checker on my findings. How can this be?

Impact seomoz.org to moz.com?
HI Seomoz, Yes, this question is to you :-), but it might come in handy for the rest of us. With the revamp of your service and website, you guys also decided to change your web address to Moz.com. Myself and perhaps others here consider to do the same. Yet I fear loss in the SERP's. Did you guys experience any loss in the SERP's for your most valuable keywords? What was your plan of action?

How long for new pages to rank
Hi Guys, Our website has some really good serps for our established keyword phrases some of which are quite competitive. We recently acquired and have begun selling some new brands through our online shop and launched new pages for these brands around 2 months ago. They are quite competitive ("merrell shoes" and "timberland boots" for example in google.co.uk) terms. Do you think we should get some keyword rich links built into these new pages from external sites such as blogs - or is there chances of ranking well driven more off our overall site authority/link profile? In other peoples experience, what is a typical realistic timeframe to start getting meaningful serps on new pages/keyword phrases (I know that is hard to answer - but ball parks figures appreciated). Thank you everyone in advance. Kind Regards (and happy thanksgiving to our US friends)
