Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Martine, I have PM'd you so please let me know if you get it.  We're happy to discuss your SEO and what you'd need going forward. Rick is correct that it's not the cheapest niche we ever do but we have some good plans and do adult product SEO regularly. Happy to discuss - PM me or send an email if you want more info.

Sure, I can see the issues there. Having a look at the sitemap and submitting that would be my best guess.

Hi Ishwar, If you have done so yet it would be best to create your own post. Many people pop in here to help others and when they see this topic as answered they may not look at it. Creating your own post will get the most attention.

Great thanks guys!

I have canonicalised the filtered products, and have put a request in to make the H1s editable so will alter those as soon as I can. Thank you all for taking the time to answer this question, I appreciate it greatly. Best wishes, Amelia

Thank you very much. I guess I just need to add in our email and I can safely say that we are good.

I've had problems and emailed them to ask what the devil is going on - they replied saying that they would compensate me for the time the service is down for. That was last week. I logged in this morning and my rankings were tracked successfully, so I emailed them to ask what compensation I will be getting... So far I haven't had a response, but they gave me a discount last year when a similar thing happened so I have every expectation of them fulfilling their promises.

I would recommend Berman Hosting - bermanhosting.com Used them in the past, their servers are great, pricing is decent and client support is excellent.

Thanks, that was my impression of it as well.  Just wanted to check I wasn't overlooking something.

Yes I have redirected all the old URL's to the new ones, I changed the title tags and meta descriptions because to increase my keywords. Yes the sitemap is there and the content has changed.

Thanks Rick. When you say unless links are involved what do you mean?

Thanks so much Patrick! Interesting points you make as well! I'm looking to bring out the quality in the industry and grow it from there. Can you tell me I had a question from a potential "contributor" who wanted to know interms of copywriting if usually a contributor creates an article for the blog who owns the copy right? I'm not so big around this side of things, but it wasn't something I was actually aware of until she mentioned it.

Hi Simon A couple of things I found... You have duplicate content issues: http://hygienefood.co.uk/ Both www. and non www. versions of the site work Both http and https versions of the site work I also found this site - is this yours or someone else? Reason being, this is the exact content that lives on your bee removal page. Your robots.txt is an accident waiting to happen - check out Moz's best practices I would also use Open Site Explorer and Majestic to take a look at your backlink profile It looks like random domains (some irrelevant and others stuffed with keywords) are redirecting to your site This could look potentially spammy I would take care of all duplicate content and technical issues first. Then, I would look at my backlink profile - what can be cleaned up? Removed? Disavowed? So on and so forth. Then I would look at my competitor's backlink profile. What is it about their content that other (RELEVANT) websites like and are linking to? Am I doing that on my site? What do I need to change? Hopefully this helps, if I find anything else I will let you know - this was just a quick skim.

Hi George, Actually, I misspoke above. Sorry about that! The first result for the non-personalized search "site:minibusshuttle.com" ---- https://www.google.co.uk/#q=site:minibusshuttle.com&psw=0 --- in google.co.uk links to https://minibusshuttle.com, which shows content for Essex Digital Media. (See the attached screen cap, which shows page 1 search results for this query. I believe they will look very similar to yours, including the title and description for planet55.co.uk). Yes, I would definitely recommend pushing the hosting company to straighten this out immediately. I would also seriously consider migrating the site to a hosting company you can trust. Best of luck, and please us know how the hosting company responds. Christy 6npD2gl

Check with ahrefs or majestic, check the links manually or using a tool like link detox and then you'll know what needs to be done.

Nothing to worry about there Justin, your article will always rank above the copied one.

Hi Ravi, These days Google is very careful in showing rich snippets for certain SERPs, it seems that the markup for your products and reviews is OK though as it passes the tests in the structured data testing tool: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ you might want to look into the first 10 warnings though.

If they copy it then  submit a DMCA to Google.. I don't even bother asking people to take down content.  WHat I was referring to was legitimate referencing when they write their own unique article because they like the idea of my own article.  This latter thing is what I would like to achieve.  Social sharing helps get your content in front of other bloggers which can help facilitate this. Basically if you have good content, people will over time give you links naturally.
