Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My job performance is tied to these stats. So even though organic traffic is the same it still doesn't look good for me. If I just tell him its random fluctuations he will probably ask why hasn't it fluctuated up. The total drop for domain authority was 35 to 30. Any ideas on how to boost that?

On the 1/11 report all four websites dropped, and starting on 2/12 they all dropped a few more times. These are all large companies who are completely white hat. Was something changed? The reason I asked is all of our linking C-Blocks dropped as well. Mine dropped from 114 to 42 and I have no idea why. All of my competitors dropped as well, is this related?

It is a way to build links, but I don't think it will pay off for a very long time.

It takes a little time for things to show up in OSE. I wouldn't be concerned unless it has been 5 weeks or more.

I am sure on the 301. I use http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ to check and it shows 301. I checked with and without the trailing slash.

The sitemap is created and submitted everyday.

The old urls are not accessible anymore.

I am just stumped.

It has been four months, so I know it has been crawled. The pages don't exist any longer so I don't know where I would put canonical.

The pages are item pages. They are all being 301ed. Why is Google showing them as duplicate when they are being 301ed?

We had an old site that used the urls for items site.com/32423432 we changed that to site.com/item name

The old stuff has gone away and we have 301 redirects up. For some reason we are getting hit with duplicate titles on those pages and duplicate meta tags.

The site relaunch was in November and we have a had a few problems but this just started showing up in the last week after having gone down.

Any thoughts on a fix?

In webmaster tools my site is showing that it is taking longer and longer to load, and it has now doubled. Is there a way to check which pages are the problem? The site is quite large so I can't check them one at a time.

Few things I should also explain.

I know almost nothing about programming so if I send this to my developer he should be ok?

The information is put in with a WYSIWYG by the customer, approved by us, then displayed in the frame on an item page. Would this be able to display what is in the WYSIWYG.

All I want are the words that are in this frame. The page is done in .net. Which one of those you suggested would be the best??

Currently we have our item pages descriptions sitting in frames. I want to get rid of the frames altogether but my developer has said that it is a pain. Is there a way to have the text in the source code readable by search engines but not showing on the page? What about using the noframes tag? If I do a search for my frames they are actually indexed. Should I use a robot.txt block on these pages? What about rel-canonical? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am doing competitor link research and so far 4 of the 4 have had links from search.bearshare.net What kind of site is this? I am sure it isn't valuable but I can't figure out how it is getting crawled.

I don't use any other tools currently. Knowing it can take awhile makes me feel a little better. Is there a feature that lets you know what is new since the last scan?

For the last two weeks I have been working on linkbuilding. I have downloaded competitors link reports and started contacting or submitting links. In the last two weeks I have gotten about 50-60 or so. In the newest report it shows I went up four c-blocks. Why is that? It is kind of discouraging.

Yup, we just have one site but it needs all sorts of redirects. We have a site such as www.neat-stuff.com and most people just type in without the dash. We completely redid the site with all new urls so we had a lot of redirects to do.

That is exactly what we ended up doing thanks for your help.

After site launch a few months ago we lost a lot of organic traffic. Think this will bring some of it back?

Exactly was I was looking for. Trying to Google it for some reason was giving me problems.

Makes perfect sense. Everything was ok except one that is without the www. is showing a 200 instead of a 301. How serious is that?

I have a site that has a lot of url differences. Due to coding we sometimes have to 301 to a page that is 301'd to another. Is there any danger in doing this?

I work for a company that is (for example) www.neat-stuff.com, most people just type in www.neatstuff.com. I think that we are being counted as a site twice. Any suggestions as to how to know for sure?
