SEO - Keyword Salarpuria Sattva East Crest
How long have you been doing SEO for it? The keyword is in the domain so it "tends" to work faster. I would just continue to do offpage work (just be patient and it will start showing up) if you are already sure with your onpage SEO on the site.

Need help in understanding why my site does not rank well for our best content?
Your site is competing in a very highly competitive field. I did a check in Moz Keyword Difficulty on your example page's targeted keyword (nokia lumia 830 review) and that keyword is highly competitive. The Google India SERP for the keyword is dominated by high domain authority sites with high page authority pages.

Imange name and html page name same are count spammy contents ?
Having an identical image and page name didn’t sounds spammy to me at all but if your page will contain the same keywords everywhere in title, description, h1 and more than obviously it will become spammy and it will hurt your rankings from the desired key phrases. Hope this helps!

I have a website which was coming to google first page but suddenly some other website has replaced it.
Maybe the site of the competitor is a new (or rather new) site and maybe they even use black-hat tactics which they get away with at this point. On of my client experienced the same. The competitor used very black methods to get a lot of pages ranked (splitted up words like vacuum cleaners and vacuum-cleaners for every page). I advised my client to be patient and keep focussing on what is the right thing to do. For you I have the same advise. Don't focus on your competitor but focus on your own site and business. Focus on Social Media, on getting new high quality links, on improving bounce rates, time on site, CTR etc. If you have done all of that then your site should start outranking him completely. Years ago I read a nice article about the value of SEO. It stated that if 2 websites about the same subject both want to rank for the same keyword. Website A has only 10 backlinks, no social profile, no on page SEO, etc but still ranks no.1 Website B has 1000 backlinks, good social profile but also no on page SEO. Then all of the sudden website B gets ranked no 1. The values stay the same. How to improve website A again ?? Build massive links? Could be! Start using Social? YES! but most importantly start using on page SEO. By doing that correctly you improve the value of everything else. Internet Marketing is not about backlinks, not about just some titles, meta data and keywords but the one amplifies the others. Make sure you do everything because it amplifies each other.

Thanks for your rseponses! Hey RobertJakobson, doesn't Google advise against having canonical and noindex on the same page? And if you setup canonicals + change of address, what would be the purpose of noindexing?

Across the board drops in DA
Hello, This is most likely not something to be worried about if it corresponded with the latest Mozscape Index. The number of links and depth crawled with each update can vary - the details on this can be found on the Mozscape API Index page (link below). Since the crawl changes in depth/size, the DA, PA, etc. numbers will differ from crawl to crawl even for a "steady-state" site. If all five companies experienced a similar percentage or numerical drop, I am inclined to think that this drop is simply related to the crawl. The current stats for the latest crawl can be found here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates Rand wrote a post that explained the crawl well here. Have a great weekend and good luck!

Deleting hidden H6 headers
Hi there! I took a look at the source code for the page you provided and the hidden H6 headers you are referring to is a CSS class named 'H6' and not actually a proper H6 tag being used. The diagnosis must be picking them up and telling you that they are H6 header tags. Hope this clears things up

Weird problems with google's rich snippet markup
I'm afraid it is the obvious. Ensure the rich snippets are relevant to the content of the page, ensure that your page is ranking for relevant queries to raise the chance of the rich snippet being shown.

Which Sitemap to keep - Http or https (or both)
Hi Ashish, Add the new version and delete the old. Retaining the old sitemap shouldn't flag you for duplicate content, however, it doesn't make sense to tell Google to crawl those pages if they are just going to redirect to new pages that are in the new sitemap. Extra work for GoogleBot. Hope this helps!

Doorway v Landing Pages - Whats the difference?
Doorway pages are pages set up with redirection, spoofing, or cloaking to get some SEO benefit that's usually short-term gains and typically not so kosher. Basically, the visitor thinks they're getting one thing and ends up with another. Landing pages are any webpages on your site which you're driving traffic to. Hope this helps!
