Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Not true, actually. On desktop it's just displayed differently. If you do your search, you can see that nordstrom name is actually on the right of breadcrumb names.

So, that's another thing. If you can get your company name to come up like that (it usually is being pulled from Wiki), your chances go up by a lot

Also make sure that all crawl errors from Search Console (and MOZ), especially new 404s are fixed. Other than that - just wait couple weeks.

Hi there.

Yes, I've been fighting this for quite some time. As far as I understand, you need to use "Website" itemscope and name as a property and then wait for long time

Also, as a quite common thing I notice, if you are using schema markup as html, but not as json-ld script, it takes much longer to see results. You can read about it more here: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/schema-org

Hi there.

Have you used change of web address tool? I believe it's inside Search Console now. Here is the link: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en

Well, using GA for this is quite useless. It's very inaccurate. Use right click->inspect element->network tab for those times. Or webpagetest.org.

Well, those domains are not gonna be even on 9th page, more like on 159th.

Hi there.

Did you outsource the project or you have in-house team? Also, how do you get this information - Google Analytics or actual loading times in "Web Inspector" or something?

The reason it can be increasing is if while rebuilding the website developers used a lot of none-deferred JS and extra CSS, which is not optimized. So, if you have in-house team, tell them to optimize it. If you outsourced it - oh well. What you can use as a reference as well - Google PageSpeed Insights. They even provide "optimized" files (don't blindly trust those).

P.S. And, of course, if you need tech help - you can PM me or email me at dmitrii@regexseo.com

Hi there.

It will not make any beneficial difference whatsoever. The reason is that if domain is redirected on a dns level, that domain will not be ranked at all. So, unless you have an actual domain with content, it will be useless for you.

P.S. What you might consider doing is creating some type of splash pages for those domains with some unique information and then have a link to main website related section. However, again, since there is not gonna be really any content, those domains won't rank, even if they are full match domain.

Cheers!

Yes, it's very much possible. either cached result or it's checking something different. But it happens

try different tools - semrush or any other. Also simply moz rank tracker.

Hi there.

So, tools are saying one thing, but actually googling gives you another? I'd look into cache and history related stuff in your browser. Also it might be location biased.

Go into incognito mode, try do a search. See what comes up. Also, tool you are using might have cached information - try couple different tools, see what results you get there. Sometimes it also can be localized bug, and it shows in browser that keyword is not ranking at all, but it actually is. Try from different computers, different browsers. And just wait couple days - see if it comes back up.

P.S. Have you done any black/grey hat recently?

Sure thing

Well, i see why it's being reported as 503. Cause even i can see it in developer tools. the main domain has 302 redirect and then responds with 503. Anyway, for you there is gonna be no difference in terms of seo. As far as I know google ranking algos don't use outbound links as signals. As relevance signals - sure, but not really of a much impact on rankings itself.

Hi there.

_"he has removed it from GA" - _this is very weird statement, can you give me more details?

Also, if those links are broken, then why don't you remove them? or those links are inbound? if they are inbound, then you wouldn't have any impact SEO wise, since they pretty much wouldn't count as backlinks.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

No, IP canonicalization doesn't make any difference, due to the way of how dns works. Even if you do this type of canonicalization, your website still will have that ip, it's kinda like a pointer. Kinda like geo coordinates vs address. It's the same place, and even if you rename the street, you still have the same coordinates.

Read this here, it might help: https://moz.com/community/q/how-to-do-ip-canonicalization

Hi there.

You are surely right when you are saying you didn't give enough information. There could be so many reasons. Did you have a promotion or sale or some type of news picked up an article or something? Cause it surely looks like something like that, because if you look at amount of traffic now and before spike - it's the same. Also spikes don't happen for no reason. Additionally, are you sure it's not some type of spam bot or ghost traffic?

Hope this helps

Hi there.

Well, Analytics has only couple hours delay, not days, that's where I'd look. Also even Google rankings algos have some delay, so you won't really be able to 100% see how the changes affected the positions.

Also look at past year behavior, if it's seasonal, you will see the repetitive traffic behavior in Google Analytics. Other than that I don't think there is anything to go by immediately besides intuition and experience.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

It's pretty much not a secret that G+ is more valuable. We also have seen good rankings bump after successful twitter campaign. It kinda make sense - both of those are instantly indexed and is the same company (G+) or have close deals (Twitter). If i had such relationships between platforms, I'd want people to use them more over my competitors, so, I would make them count more than my competitors.

Hope I'm right

Cheers!

Hi there.

I looked at your website, and, as you said, there are no external links really. I wonder if MOZ crawler considers your own website as external, since you are using absolute paths, rather than relative ones.

Try changing them to relative links (I personally prefer that due to faster loading and ease of work) and see if MOZ changes it's errors report.

Cheers!

Hi there.

Yes, the global rule should work. However, there is a reason this is happening, and it look like there is an extra rule, which adds that trailing slash. Go through those new rules you've added, make sure that you don't have anything extra. Example might be "Redirect everything from old blog to new blog with adding trailing slash" or something. It's quite common error, so you should be able to figure it out.

Also see when these 404s were discovered, if it was right after you did redirects, it means for sure, that some of the new redirect rules are messed up at some point.

Cheers!
