Hello vtmoz, Nope. If rankings drop for certain pages are due to few keywords, it affects only the pages where they are placed and not for other pages / home page. when primary keyword is deployed widely across the website, Yes... you can see some drops / changes in the rankings. Also it's not penalty from Google, but your webpage / website is not upto the ranking recommendations from google. Hence just make sure your optimization for the keywords are done properly for the placed pages and recommend using unique keywords for all pages apart from few primary keywords. www.angleritech.com

I have doing some research on this issue since there are lots of mixed opinion on this. Per my friends who work on this matter closely, Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo should all be able to fetch the React based single page applications. Custom Mat Board (which cuts customized mat boards for any Amazon or IKEA picture frames) is a React based application, and it works well. Please check out Fetch as Google and note if there are any major difference between what Google bot sees and what humans can see. If there are significant differences, you should do something about it. But per my experience, Google bots and humans do see the same thing. PM me if you have any questions. Cheers! WJ

I've tried for the sake of science and didn't work.

Thanks for the thoughful response. I totally understand you can't give step by step - but that does spark some ideas, thanks!

You won't be making the most of your SEO authority by firing it through redirects. A to B is always better than putting 301s in the middle of links. It's also bad UX because, you send the user to too many locations which is inefficient and a waste of their time. I wouldn't expect something like this to make much difference overall, but if you were going to 'do it right' you would just fix it. It's also not good to have too many links pointing to 'insecure' addresses, even if they will later be intercepted. I would just go in and fix the problem. In SEO, very few things make much difference at all (if there was one thing that made the most difference, everyone would just focus on that). Instead it's about pride, balance and stopping snowballs from forming before they start to roll. If you ignore this one, you'll also ignore all related issues and over time you could notice a performance hit (for poor link structure, lower site health, linking to insecure content, wasting user's time with redirects / bad UX). Instead of sitting back and waiting for bad things to happen, nip it in the bud. It only takes five minutes and then your mind can be at rest

I wrote this answer to a slightly similar question in 2016, on Quora - and IMO nothing has changed much in this area: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-companies-have-a-big-Twitter-widget-in-the-Google-search-results-and-some-do-not/answer/James-Allen-15 Google is not very good at distinguishing and ignoring, or thinking about brands specifically. Actually Google sees query-spaces in terms of 'search entities' (especially after the Hummingbird update). Different keywords and keyphrases are related to one another and where that definition is pretty clear cut (thematically) you have a search entity. A search entity can exist in multiple different states (place, business, news topic, trending search, regular query space for general interest - etc.) When most of the searches (or search queries / keywords) within a given search entity change in terms of the user's intent, the search entity itself may shift state. If a search entity which previously handled generic 'interest' based queries is intercepted by something like a meme (and suddenly there are an explosion of searches, with clicks going to sites with radically different thematic groundings) - then the state of the search entity and its associated keywords (or most of them) can shift from one contextual niche to a completely different one If you think of it like that, things become much clearer. It's not that Google is saying "hey you're a brand you're cheating I'm kicking you out". Instead Google is saying "well I know that this search entity is not a business or brand, most people are searching for a meme that is trending. As such I'll return sites which more closely match the state of the search entity to which this query-space is bound" Not all search entities are so clear cut. Some query-spaces are very ambiguous! In which case, Google will try to return a balanced mixture of results. "SEO" is actually a very good example as, many people are searching for information but many people are also searching for companies and businesses. As such Google supplies divided results and tries to give the best of both (or all) thematic pillars. These are what we call noisy query-spaces: https://d.pr/i/UX3lON.png (screenshot) I know it's not a very clear-cut answer, but search is diverse and complex :') Hope that helps

They will both rank, but the original page will have the the higher priority.

To add to what Roman posted - I would also encourage you to set up Google Search Console to review how this has changed the number of pages indexed. You have a good head start by using the WP plugin but I would take this addition step.

Hey there! Is it possible to give the website URL you are having issues with? I'll be able to better assess the problem that way. Thanks, John

Hi Dario, Yes, when revamping and improving your content... update the publication date too.  I cant assure you that Google will use it as a ranking factor, but it will help searchers in Google when they see the updated time. Yes, googleBot does recrawl every page of your site. If you think that it's been too long since visited that particular page, then you could manually request a crawl in Search Console: In Crawl -> Fetch as Google. Hope it helps. Best luck. GR

John Mueller of Google recently discussed this topic... https://www.seroundtable.com/google-higher-page-count-seo-26633.html Amazon has millions and millions of pages.  They can be beaten for commercial queries with a 20 page site.  If your 20 pages are bursting with some of the internet's best information for your topic, and visitors engage your site and ask for it by name, then you can beat Amazon with 20 pages.

Thanks for the response. Conversions and revenue are down, by significant number. I know that the update is supposed to be about relativity of content to users' intent etc, and it's all good if conversions are on the same level. But they are not, that's why I am raising this question here. _"Due to that, I'm not really seeing the same correlation which you are seeing" - _sorry, the screenshots were not as representative, here are the ones where you can see what i'm talking about clearly (I included higher volume keyphrases only here, and that's the problem we are having): https://dmitrii-regexseo.tinytake.com/sf/MzAyNjgzN185MDczNDY1 https://dmitrii-regexseo.tinytake.com/sf/MzAyNjg0MV85MDczNDkz _"Are you sure you're going down - and that others aren't investing more and going up?" - _well, i don't know how much others are investing, but looking at competitive research, I'm not seeing anything extra competition is doing - across all available metrics (content freshness, amount of content, backlinks etc) - we are outperforming. _"As you said you had done nothing on your site" - _not really, we are always improving, I'm just saying that there weren't any major overhauls or anything drastic.

LOL.. its funny you feel this way because i thought i was the only one... I'm new to seo and then i was put on here and i need a direction to go but im soo confused. Everyone keeps telling me to watch these videos and i am, understanding more and mmore off the tools but is there somewhere I'm supposed to start in the process and end?

Please let me know you would like more questions answered or if I did not answer the question in full. Respectfully, Tom

You should write your description in a way that will make people want to click on your link when they see your description in the search results. But be aware that Google won't necessarily pick your description to show—it shows what it thinks best matches what the searcher is looking for. If your description is heavy on keywords that are not on the page and does not contain words that reflect the content of the page, it probably won't get shown.
