Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Glad you figured it out. I honestly didn't think it would have been the canonicals. I'm a little surprised that the bots didn't just choose not to respect the suggestion as opposed to blanking your site from the index. Didn't think that was even a possibility from incorrect canonicals. Good to know for the future though in case anything like this comes up with anyone else's site.

This "strategy" is well known but almost never used right. Imo maybe not link building but rather brand building/sales generation strategy.

Hi Noelia, Tireza here from Moz support team, we can definitely do invoice billing for all annual accounts, and the good news is that you get a great 20% discount off of the monthly rate when you go annual!

Hi There! It is a bit difficult for me to tell from this post exactly which URL that you are referring to, but I took a look at your full site crawl and narrowed it down using the page title "Astronaut Costumes", per the code you pasted above. Of the two pages with that title, http://www.interstellarstore.com/toys-and-costumes/astronaut-costumes and http://www.interstellarstore.com/astronaut-costumes, neither is being reported in the site crawl or the page optimization reports as missing the meta description. (Page optimization actually reports that the meta descriptions are too long.) However, I definitely see that there are a large number of other pages in your crawl that are reported as missing the meta description. For the handful of those I checked, it does look like that error is being reported correctly. It looks like you've submitted a support request to our help team, so it would be very helpful if you could follow up there with specific examples of pages that are reported as missing the meta description, but that actually have the meta description in the source code so they can look into this further for you. We look forward to hearing back from you there soon. Chiaryn

Can we use some tool like Moz or Woorank etc. to check why one website is ranking over other website?

Hi Avin www.abc.com/dance-coaching-classes is better because will cover both keyphrases (one partial but still better than nothing). Keep in mind to not add categories (or more keywords to url) because you'll spam your url: www.abc.com/dance-coaching/dance-coaching-classes/dance-coaching-classes-example-city Krzysztof

This resolved. It was internal link anchor text

Hi Elizabeth TF, CF, PA, DA represent "power" of domain but that's not all. You have to check: anchors - what % of anchors are website theme/subject related; are there any porn/viagra/etc anchors? linking domains - what % of domains are website theme/subject related; how many linking domains are banned or penalized; number of linking domains over time (rising, stable, dropping, jumping etc) link profile - is clean or have too many money keywords content - if content is good enough, not so spammy with many outgoing links; if website doesn't have any content (domain dropped?) then check in archive.org how it looked site (site:domain.com in google) - is indexed? BTW: TF55 and CF45 isn't that bad. The problem is if CF/TF > 1.8 because that tells us domain has many low quality links. Best if CF/TF=1.

This can be pretty easy to do: they could do few 301 redirect from domains with many inbound links they could place sitewide footer links on websites with many pages indexed I don't believe it's a blackhat in 100% but I'm 100% it's not good in long term. Also DA increased so links come from high DA domains too. However high DA doesn't guarantee links are good for seo and always safe.

Hi Preben, Take a look at https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo. That's probably the best step you can take right now. André

I know that you may not want to post this, but the URL of the site would help. Generally speaking, Google will sometimes decide to use all kinds of alternative information about your site if Google deems that this is "better for the user".  As you may know, Google will show different title tags and descriptions in the SERPs, if it feels that is more appropriate. That said, this is pretty major with Google changing the domain name. As it looks like your .co.uk is being chosen vs the .com it seems like Google feels like the .co.uk is the better "local" version for this audience.  Is your audience in the UK? Did you change anything in Search Console to indicate that the .co.uk site is the preferred site for a UK audience? You need to look at any and all signals that you are giving to Google and see if any of them contradict what your 301s are showing. Here is what I would look at Manually go through the 301s. Use a tool via your browser or a website that will show you what is happening in the 301. The 301s might actually be 302s (and that would explain a lot). Use the site: command in Google.  See what is indexed and what is not. Check the serps for the KWs that are ranking.  Click through them and see if you notice anything strange Run a spider on all the .com and .co.uk URLs.  Is there some sort of strange canonical setup that you do not know about? Did you do something funky with the href langs? Are the redirects 302 or maybe taking 2 and 3 strange hops? Check google search console.  You should have accounts for both domains, even though you only have 1 site active. If not, get an account setup for each domain. What is Google showing you? Do you have any strange stuff in xml sitemaps?  What about robots.txt? Double check with your devs that "nothing" has been done recently.  You might be surprised. Good luck!

what is interesting is that i can see that all the individual pages are good in terms of displaying in the browser correctly except the "home" page.

They'll send examples - max 3. Then you have to look around for similar.

Now that I check rankings for isacleanse.co.nz (without the www.) the keywords are all ranking in the same spot they used to be... so what I can gather there is no issue but instead my 'rank tracker' for keywords within MOZ was updating the rankings for a www. when the rankings have now moved to the non www. site? Does that make sense? I've now reinstated back the www. before the domain name as I prefer it this way. I will still make those changes that you've mentioned above! Much appreciated

Plugin is one thing. Second is if your website is prepared and meets best seo practices for every page, keyword you want to rank on. Plugin can help but won't do 100% for you.

Hi! Any update on this. I'm in the US and for the past two weeks, my default has switched to the UK
