Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey, Would you share the keywords that you see dropping?

Thanks so much

I'll try that right away

thanks for your answer,

Should I create a sitemap with only dead pages? and then have two sitemaps?

let me know, please.

Hi There,

I'm in a weird situation and I am wondering if you can help me.

Here we go,  We had some of our developers implement structured data markup on our site, and they obviously did not know what they were doing. They messed up our results in the SERP big time and we wound up getting manually penalized for it. We removed those markups and got rid of that penalty (phew), however now we are still stuck with two issues.

We had some pages that we changed their URLs, so the old URLs are now dead pages getting redirected to the newer version of the same old page, however, two things now happened:

a) for some reason two of the old dead pages still come up in the Google SERP, even though it's over six weeks since we changed the URLs. We made sure that we aren't linking to the old version of the url anywhere from our site.

b) those two old URLs are showing up in the SERP with the old spammy markup. We don't have anywhere to remove the markup from cause there are no such pages anymore so obviously there isn't this markup code anywhere anymore.

We need a solution for getting the markup out of the SERP.

We thought of one idea that might help - create new pages for those old URLs, and make sure that there is nothing spammy in there, and we should tell google not to index these pages - hopefully, that will get Google to de-index those pages.

Is this a good idea, if yes, is there anything I should know about, or watch out for? Or do you have a better one for me?

Thanks so much

Thanks!

Can you please explain in more detail how this is set up and what it is?

Would that affect the SEO in any way?

Can I have the root domain pointing to one server and other URLs on the domain pointing to another server without redirecting, domain masking or HTML masking?

Dealing with an old site that is a mess. I want to avoid migrating the old website to the new environment. I want to work on a page by page and section by section basis, and whatever gets ready to go live I will release on the new server while keeping all other pages untouched and live on the old server.

What are your recommendations?

I want to put Adsense on my website, but I have my own company visiting my website a lot using the forms on that website. Can that get me penalized for Adsense seeing so many visits from the same IP and thinking we want to spam click?

thanks, that was a help

i am starting out in the field of seo, what are the best guides and lessons for me?

I see the same thing, in one account they will show ads on the right side, on the other one they will not.

I would like to send the link private but you have not enabled that option

It is working in the test but in google, only the name not the image. Don't know why. Any one has advice?

Do you understand google authorship? They removed the image from google but left the name.  Cant understand what is wrong.  It still shows up in testing.

So that means they will also rank me for the keywords on the page the same way as if it would be open?

Thanks! I have sent you a private message. Im not only asking about not violating there terms, I would also like to know if they will rank me for the text.

Can you send me an example?

I would like to create a page with a few questions and when people click the answer comes up. Is google going to index and rank for the hidden text that is comming up when clicking?

Thanks. Anyone can help?

It shows up in testing but not on the search engine.

Hi!

Moz crawl suddenly shows much less pages from what I really have and from what they used to show after completing the crawl. Should I be worried?  What could that be?
