Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you I will try the things you suggest and see if this helps. Its just so strange that it just dropped, had a huge spike and then dropped again. I will start thinking more carefully about our link structure KSF0lIQ

Hi there, I see that it's whosjack.org that you have redirected to http://wjlondon.com/ at the moment, so I guess you have already done the migration? I see that you already have some internal pages indexed in whosjack.org, although you have also 301-redirected them to http://wjlondon.com/ (check if all the internal links go to the new URLs, also use the change of address option in Google Webmaster Tools). Ideally, especially at the beginning, you should focus on a single domain, to consolidate your content and popularity. Additionally, you should avoid featuring the same content on two domains, since it would cause content duplication issues. For domain migrations, take a look at these best practices, where I also link to other resources that will help you to plan and implement to minimize any errors and negative SEO impact. I hope it helps!

Hi Ryan, yes sorry i think this is my mistake, i didn't mean to lit under product support - I think I ticket the wrong thing. Sorry

So, first off, let me say that this isn't always a bad thing. Less indexed content, if much of your content is duplicated (or nearly duplicated) could actually improve the ranking of the rest of your content. More pages isn't better. On the other hand, it's one thing when you proactively remove content from the index - it's another when Google does it for you. Are you seeing any patterns? As Chris said, it could be that your internal linking changed, or it could be that Google sees these pages as duplicate or low-quality and has removed them or implicitly canonicalized them (we're seeing more of that - it's like you have a rel=canonical on the page, but you don't). The other issue could be if there are duplicates on other site across the web, causing your copy to be filtered out. Either way, you have to find out which pages are impacted and figure out the pattern. Do you have XML sitemaps? A well structured set of sitemaps can help you get a better sense of which pages are being indexed.

This is a very useful resource indeed: http://moz.com/blog/web-site-migration-guide-tips-for-seos - there are a few gems here too, inc useful pointers from Google: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/26/business/smallbusiness/newark-nut-company-buys-a-perfect-domain-name-yet-sales-suffer.html and http://boss.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/01/debating-the-right-way-to-change-a-domain-name-and-brand-a-nut-retailer/?_r=0

Thank you i ll have a look

Do you mean the Remove URLs feature in Google Webmaster Tools? I believe that is intended for removing your own content, as per https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=59819 If you wish to remove your content using the URL removal request tool in our Google Webmaster Tools, you must first meet the criteria listed below. To remove a page or image, you must do one of the following: Make sure the content is no longer live on the web. Requests for the page must return an HTTP 404 (not found) or 410 status code. Block the content using a robots.txt file. Block the content using a meta noindex tag.

Hi There, SEOmoz flags your content as duplicate if finds 95% HTML similarity. You can use an online tool to compare pages yourself. I like this one: http://www.duplicatecontent.net/ Google obviously uses a more sophisticated method than Moz, but it's still a good warning because pages without much unique content - even if they aren't true duplicates - often have a difficult time ranking for their targeted keywords. In general, it good to have different title tags for each page of content. This most important at the beginning of the title tag. You raised the suggestion of using the main subject of each magazine - which sounds like an excellent idea to me! Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

The more links you have on a page the less link juice you pass along. This means that you can have 100 links on a page pointing to different pages but the strength of the link is reduced by there being so many. You are watering down the links. Now I'm not saying to have just one link on a page but to have links where they make sense. If you have a page on cars and a link to Hanes t shirts it doesn't look natural. Links should be relevent to content. Hope this helps. Good luck
