Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Can anyone take a look at the site and offer suggestions as to what I can do. My visibility went from 13% to 2% over the past two months.

I had 800 organic terms prior to this now I am falling off a cliff. Have no idea what happened.  I just switched over to HTTPS 3 weeks ago and it has helped a little.

So I am trying to figure out how my google rankings dropped from 3 to 9 This past week.  Could it be the new HTTPS security issue?  My site was created in HTTP not HTTPS.  Is this an easy fix? Can I hire someone on this site to fix this?

I also discovered that a website www.prlog.ru put 32 links to my website.  It is a russian site.  It has a 32% spam score. Is that high? I think I need to disavow. Another spammy website link has spam score of 16% with with several thousand links. I added one link to the site medexplorer.com 6 years ago and it was fine. Now it has thousands of links. Should I disavow all three?

My rankings just tanked big time.  The only problems are #1 Canonical Tags #2 Missing H-1 Tags, #3 URL too long.

Are these high priority items now? I just lost a ton of page one rankings after very high rankings for the past 6 years.

Yep...I spoke with communicated with Wistia and they said that my 39 sec Video taken off my Android phone would cost $1,500 a month/plan  for the viral video. (If it gets up to 2 million views) Which I believe it will. I really don't have $18K to spend for a link right now I guess. Sounds expensive when youtube posts it for free and pays me for ads.

I have been contacted by TV stations, break.com, junkinmedia.com, rumble,com and many more groups taht want to market my video but I don't want to give away exlusive rights. I still want to be able to market it myself as well.  Any consultants out there please email me a proposal or any suggestions on what I should do?  I have already been referred to wisteria. com

If the video is on a lot of big sites like ABC news , espn, etc....it seems like the video is pointed to my website then I would be a big boost from the higher domain websites that are posting it.  Wouldn't that be the case?

It is just a random video I took while taking some photos on the ocean it involved a shark. Nothing to do with my business though.  Do you still think I should put my website domain link embedded in it?

One pro and one con....I am back where I started.  Any other suggestions.  It is a viral video that I taped while taking pictures for my company.

Kynduvme,

Here is a list of recommended directories by SeoMoz.

http://www.seomoz.org/directories

I just bought a link from the directory business.com and botw.org.  Both seemed to be reputable and all of my top competitors are listed with them.

I have seen that most responses to that questions over time have been the slash line that separates words in the title. Not a dash but the slated vertical line.

Keri,

I have only asked a few questions over the past year but they were excellent responses.  I appreciate the high quality answers from professionals at SEOmoz.  I will miss this service and valued it greatly but I am sure you will add additional top notch features in the future.

Thanks

Gary,

Very entrepreneurial and creative way to get some good SEO while bootstrapping.  It seems like a great idea if you have some way both parties can track and see total conversions. It might help you attract someone if you define conversions and how would it be tracked.  Seems like lots of folks would be interested in something like that....especially if lucrative! Good luck.

I would also not dismiss hanging out around here and picking up bits and pieces of SEO gems.  This is a great site and could be very "lucrative" for you to gradually learn a few things here and there.  I have learned a lot in the past 60 days and it has paid off huge dividends so far!  Very happy with the SEOmoz product and services.

I just paid someone to submit me to a few directories and I saw were I was listed on one of them today.  The url page authority of where I was listed was a "1" with zero moz trust and zero moz authority.  The root domain authority is a "69".  Is page authority or domain authority the most important for links? I believe all the directories I was submitted to have url page authority of "1". ( I watched a video yesterday and I think the head guy said that page authority was most important but I am not sure.

EGOL........Good stuff! Thanks! Interesting perspective on both the little things that lead to conversion and on conversion itself. So easy to put cart before the horse in this industry for us neophytes.

I am looking for a junior llnkbuilder but I noticed you only have 5 root links on your site.

I have asked this question before and was told to BEWARE.

If you can find someone to create links in RELEVANT and good ranking directories and forums etc then it might be good.  I was told to avoid those who just submitted to lots of directories. I am in the same boat as you right now.  Been staying up late doing my own stuff.  For me it is going to probably be a slow road because of reputation management in regards to links. I am a novice so hopefully some other guys will answer this question better.
