Looking for help with my website

[Taiger]

Hi does any one know of a good seo company that will get results, i.e., fix site issues and get the site improving in the serps.

Did you try Moz's list of recommended companies ? They are all very good and should fit your needs.

Thanks Pixelbypixel. I was wondering if anyone has had website/seo issues and could recommend a company that really help them.

You might want to elaborate on the type of issue. Is it a penalty or has it been affected by a recent change in Google's algorithm?

[Taiger]

Hi BCutrer, Thanks for your question, well is has been a long ongoing problem with the site, drop in traffic, then an upturn and recently another drop. So not sure if it is a technical issues or a penalty. We have not receive a manual webspam, but was told to disavow bad links which we did, but still no upturn in traffic from Google, bing or yahoo.

So looking to see if anyone has used a firm that can analyse issues to see exactly why the sites performance has dropped.. A clear understanding of why sites performance drops and not guess work.

The disavow can take some time and may not see results until the next refresh of the algorithm that was causing the issue. We had a number of clients that came to us with a drop in traffic and rankings over the last year. We did extensive back link removal and disavowing. We saw some limited improvements but it wasn't until the November refresh that all of them "got out of jail" and returned to the first page for their keywords.

My other thought for you is that while you said you disavowed bad links, I ran your site through ahrefs and it's showing a large spike of new back links over the last month. Most of them are pretty spammy looking. http://authority-domain.com/computers_and_internet/calendar/society/dating_relationships/?p=8

If you are already dealing with a bad link profile I'd stay clear from directory link building.

Thanks BCutrer,

The disavow was done last year, and is updated. We did not see much upturn with the latest updates.

We have not done any link building for years (may be this can be a problem)

The above link was done over two years ago by bad seo company, this is why we are looking for some help

You do know that the Pigeon updates back last summer were just rolled out in other google farms too, right?

So if you're looking say at rankings via g.ca - that might be the culprit....

Just curious how you think Pigeon affected a wedding directory site?

[Taiger]

Hi guys, sorry confused, what is g.ca

(Just curious how you think Pigeon affected a wedding directory site?) not sure what you mean here.

[JVRudnick]

I have no idea what kind of site this is - the OP message was that they needed a fix and improvement of serps which I assumed meant they'd slid....which he confirmed...hence my comment on Pigeon...

and g.ca means "google.ca" - the Canadian google farm...just my lazy way of writing same!

[Taiger]

Hi. So do mean that my site is coming up in Google.ca as a link farm.. what does this mean.. Please can you provide more info.

we are based in the UK.

[JVRudnick]

you're off on a tangent here....let's not do that...my comments referred to the 'why' not the cause....

go to the 'recommended' list and pick a few to vet....then get a deal and they will undoubtedly do that complete web audit first to see where you are and why...

all else is rhetoric here....time to get the tasks started, eh!
