Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The backlinks are a problem. You have some obvious link networks on there, specifically: top.ind.in  options.pw  submit.pw  aahana.co.in  toplist.space  toplist.ws  toplist.co.in  url.firm.in  alexa.in.net  toplist.in.net All of these are on the same IP. That's a whole lot of domains on one IP address that all link back to you - and that's not the only network set. I'm not sure how much the sitewides from zeldaeurope.de and vgchartz.com are helping you either. The zeldaeurope is listed as an "affiliate" with almost 80,000 dofollow links. Google may be seeing that as a paid footer link. Homepage is a bit slow - 2.9 MB and over 8 sec load time on Pingdom. Content - mentions the 3 main keywords - "zelda" "triforce" and "game" or "gaming" at least 300 combined times in the code. It's pretty high, I think. Especially given that your title has Zelda three times as well. We've found that 1 is best, 2 if you're separating with pipe - but 3 is usually too much. So between the two, a bit of a Panda bite. I also see two major ads above the fold. One is for Forex, the other for a bank. A refresh shows me Careers Australia & a cloud security company. I mean the ads aren't even closely related. A gaming site with a big forex ad tells me there's an issue somewhere, as well. Sorry I can't go further but as Matt said, you could always get someone to help you out outside the forum.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us and I'm sorry to hear you are seeing a lower domain authority score lately. Over the last few months, our index size has been increasing significantly and we recently reached a milestone of 300 billion links! Unfortunately, we could not release a similar amount for this month and had to cut the index size in half in order to prevent further delays. Our founder and current product architect has more detail about the situation here: http://moz.com/community/q/what-s-the-story-on-mozscape-updates To compare the numbers from the previous index, you can view those details here: https://moz.com/products/api/updates Hope this helps and we hope our next release will bring your scores back up! If you have further questions about this, feel free to write into us at help@moz.com. Thanks! Kevin Help Team

I do not see that function in the free version of cloud flare? I am adding the "challenge" rule to hopefully cut back. My client does not have the money for the paid plans. My next step is to go disavow those links.

Thanks for the response. I actually see 38 and 45. Not sure why there is that slight difference. I also am not really sure how to fix many of these issues. It says to minify my JS and to enable compression. I have done both of these things for resources within my control. It lists urls like http://s3.amazonaws.com/…/css/signup-forms/popup/1.0/layout-1.css (expiration not specified) How do I fix a css file that is from a third party source? Are there any other things that you see? I know speed is obviously a factor, but I do not believe that can be the only thing holding the site back. In regards to site design, mobile friendliness, etc I actually have one of the more efficient sites out of my biggest competitors. I got my desktop score up to 73. Mobile for whatever reason refuses to budge..

Hey Noah, The profile looks fine. For the facade, I suggest only changing either the Profile picture or the Cover because it's sexier if they are different. Good day,

Hey Noah, Ray's comment above is correct but might be unclear. Yoast handles this the way you want - you've got a theme issue. This code is wrong: if(!wp_title("",false)) { echo bloginfo( 'title');} ?> This tells Wordpress to output "page title - blog name" as the H1. Yoast isn't interfering in that. You'll want your H1 to say this:

Ill look again. Thanks so much for the help

They have every one of my competitors included who cover the same content we do. So that should not be an issue. I do have a news sitemap as well

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area. There are a few things that you can do though - Look into advertising in areas where mid-life women are regularly. So that would be places like AllRecipes, TripAdvisor, Health & Beauty magazines & sites (livestrong), possibly OKCupid, Match.com etc. Go to these pages and hover over an ad you see. Depending on the site they will either have a URL that makes no sense, or they will have a google doubleclick/adsense url. If they have a google URL you can target them through AdWords. Facebook advertising would put you right in front of everyone who kind of wants to buy things all the time anyway. The Google display network is a bit tough to crack. How much work have you been putting into it? Not that it's bad to expand to other networks, but what are you looking for?

I would have to spend 100-150 per post to reach my entire audience. And that would not lead to a lot of site visits or conversions for me for the money that I am spending.

If Google isn't picking the "right page," then either 1) your pages aren't optimized well enough or 2) it's too niche and Google doesn't know what it's looking at. For the latter, you could combine higher categories and then have customer specify what they want when they buy. Example: If you were selling shirts, you wouldn't have separate pages for every size variation in every color, you'd just have one page about that shirt and then let the customer select color and size.

Simple google for "title length for best seo" would show that after about 55/58 chars your title tag drops off...and I noted that your own is 69 chars...that's "old" thinking. Search here at moz for title length etc and I remember that there are a couple of great blog posts on just how to craft same...

The site is several years old. I do not think the keywords are highly relevant to the discussion. It could be any word in the world and I would want a general idea of why it was happening

At Moz, we're using a software solution called RivalIQ to help track what our competitors are sharing and resharing article shares that are working for them (and relevant to our audience). I really like that they send out easy-to-read emails, and we can quickly set these up.

Hi Noah, I've looked in our help desk queue under both your username and your company name, and I'm not seeing any tickets from you. If the link Erin gave doesn't work for you, you can also email help@moz.com and we can help you that way. Thanks, Keri

Hi Noah, There could be many reasons for your videos not being played. Unfortunately with Facebook engagement, it's somewhat of a Catch-22 in that the more engagement you get, the more people Facebook shows the post to get more engagement. This can be very frustrating. Your videos could not be showing because your past videos hadn't gotten any engagement. Facebook should show you how many people have seen your post and then how many have engaged with it. One thing to know about it is that Facebook had some errors in its engagement numbers in June. If your followers are seeing the posts, but not watching the videos, then it's likely for whatever reason your videos aren't resonating with your audience. Some things to consider: Who are your videos aimed at? Are they the right tone for that demographic? Are they too sales driven? Are the videos you sharing widely available elsewhere? Did they already see them in other places? Have you considered user-generated videos to engaged the audience with itself? Hope this gives you a good start.

Hi Noah, I suggest you stop by Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/), where development questions can be better responded.

That's interesting as all of my pages see the opposite. Straight text gets minimal results for me.
