Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Sorry -basic stuff I know. I can research it to save you any hassle. Cheers.

Hi there Check your sitemap and update your internal links. This usually helps takes care of a major portion of your problem. From there, check your backlinks and make sure you update those that are relevant to your site and remove those that are not. I would take a look at the 404 list - see what pages you could easily redirect to relevant pages the user would still find valuable, and custom 404 the others. You could also 410 pages, but I would use that wisely, because it's not really that necessary. Lastly, here's a great resource from Matt Cutts on SEW that helps SEOs handle eCommerce 404s. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Doubtful - since you've had redirects in place for so long, Google most likely dropped the old domain(s) from the index long ago.

Devon, Having multiple images linking to a site is not a problem at all, actually this is a very common way to build links to a site. As always it helps if all the tags are included in the image when it is posted (ie title, alt img). To make sure these are included it is often easier to send these sites the code to add to their blog, or have the code available for copy and paste. It's fine that the image is hosted in one place, the 'juice' will be passed from the site that has the image link. Hope this helps. Nick

Thanks for this helpful response, Dirk! Yep, you understood our question correctly. Looks like we may not be able to add an hreflang tag on our /traductor page then.  If there's any way around this please let us know!

Dmitrii is right - sometimes Google just doesn't show snippets and it's hard to tell why. Are other products receiving rich snippets for the same queries? If not, it may just be that Google has decided that that SERP shouldn't have snippets.

Hello Adam, Screaming Frog should give you the full URL. If you're not getting it something is wrong and you should contact their Support team. If you're talking about Google Analytics, which tends to do that, try this fix: https://splitter.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/178552-how-to-show-the-domain-part-of-a-url-in-google-ana

Hi Matt, I am adding that image again. in this you can only 2 page have tingle icon where i can see the cached status but rest have no.  similar most of page have no cache status. so how i can check the cache status of pages. WWs5sCn

If the Penguin is wasn't started in the last few hours, the new "bad" links couldn't have caused a ranking-loss. If you have bad links and you knew it - disavow them or ask the linking people to delete them. Disavow is a bit pointing Google on a thing they may not have noticed. If the next penguin isn't a realtime update - you can't recover until the next-one. So if you have bad links (if) you need to get them away quickly - penguin is coming soon. Go on for link earning by great, shareable & linkable content.  That's hard to do, but the best thing you can do.

You don't have to put index & follow - that the default behaviour. It's only when you don't want to be indexed or links to be followed that you have to indicate it. Rel next/previous have to be in the header - check https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663744?hl=en  - not on the links themselves. Dirk

Thanks guys. That was what I thought. But, it is always good to get some conformation.

Long story short - YES. Any JS framework can impact your ranking. I share again here link on Distilled how they using custom service to providing pure HTML version of site to bots only: https://www.distilled.net/resources/prerender-and-you-a-case-study-in-ajax-crawlability/ And seems that experiment works very well on them.

Hi Steve! If Peter and Kristen answered your question, make sure to mark their responses as "Good Answers."

Search engines tend to reward sites that have more comprehensive pages, so I tend to think these category pages are detrimental. Besides creating too many pages with very little content, they're all competing amongst themselves and probably appear as duplicate content - there's likely to be more HTML for your header and footer on the page than actual content. From a user experience, I'd also personally get frustrated clicking through that many times to get to what I want only to find there are so few products in that category. Or if I hopped straight there from a Google search, onto a page with so few products, I'd be likely not to stick around long. I'd rather see more and narrow it down myself. I would suggest doing one of two things: A - Filter dynamically. Instead of having all these as permanent pages, have the TV category as the last permanent page, and use checkboxes to filter down. That way you're going to a dynamic URL, not a static one. So basically, your customers get the benefit of seeing the set of products they want, but it's not a permanent "page" on your website that would get indexed. Depends heavily on what technology you're using as to how difficult this would be to change. B - If you can't filter dynamically, it might be easier for you to add meta noindex tags, or update robots.txt, to block everything below the TV category. You'll still have pages where customers can see their narrow set of products, but the meta tags or robots.txt will tell spiders not to link to pages that far down. As a side note, special characters in URLs are not a best practice, so I'd get rid of the ampersands if possible.

Hi Juan, You should also know that you can have multiple sitemap directives on one robots file. This is common among international sites and large commerce sites.

Thanks!

My questions were just the tip of what could be wrong. As I said and Moosa repeated, you are likely going to have to hire someone as a consultant to solve this. There are way too many factors at play on why you may have lost some organic lately. Competitor improvements, your own site not crawling properly, parameters & duplicate content confusing Google, new site structure loads slower, etc. There aren't another 3-5 questions we can ask to sort this unfortunately. Someone needs to dig in with your site, analytics, etc. to see what's going on. Exact dates matter (algorithm updates) as do how everything is setup for your redirects and all that. As I said, Archive.org saw your redirect as a 302. That could hurt you. There could just be so many reasons.

Thank you for the info. For this: "update your home page meta data to focus on your brand and overall category (baby accessories maybe? sorry, not too familiar with your niche)" Ok so to Clarify, I should focus the meta data on "baby Headbands, Baby Girl Headbands, Headbands for Babies" and then mention that we sell other things. So maybe this meta Title: Baby Headbands - Baby Girl Headbands - Infant Headbands - Baby Bow Headbands - Hair Bows for Little Girls at Princess Bowtique! Meta Description: Baby Headbands or Flower Baby Headbands  Beautiful Infant Headbands, Tutus, and Baby Hair Bows, Pettiskirts, and Baby Clothes at Princess Bowtique! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We sell the cutest clothes for babies! Thank you, Tiffiny

Maybe your hosting also include certificate for your site and support secure connection too. But since you didn't enable this visitors may get other site (yeah, that's right!) and also invalid certificate (because certificate mismatch with domain). Isn't great situation, but you can check your site with https:// and disable it on your hosting control panel.
