Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank could certainly be the case, as traffic has been relatively stable. I'll ask my rank checker what they think.

Thanks Tom!

Rankings have been jumping across 3 of our websites since about 24 October. Is anyone seeing similar?

For example ... jumps from position 5 to 20 on one day, then back to 5 for 3 days and then back to 20 for a day

I'm trying to figure out if it's algorithm based or if my rank checker has gone mad. I can't replicate the same results if I search incognito or in a new browser, everything always looks stable in the SERPs if I do the search myself

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the services offered with web.com, particularly the local listings service of 525 local directory listings?

Have you had success with using their service like this or not?

Hopefully a yes or no answer to this one...

If I have a link pointing to my site as below, is the SEO value stripped away because of the query in the URL?

https://mysite.co.uk/?WT.mc_id=Test

The above mentioned page also has the canonical tag:  on it.

We have a client who's head office is based in Scotland but they want to rank for France related keywords for their chalets that are in France.

They only have chalets in France and will never have chalets anywhere else.

As a business they have always used their Scotland address when the brand is mentioned and their Scotland address is used in the site footer. But as they want to rank for France related terms and nothing for Scotland, I'm wondering if I should use their France address instead or in addition across their site footer, on social media channels and across the web where possible?

We've recently taken on a new client that has a very large Disavow file.  I'm wondering if any good backlinks are being disavowed in the list and want to do an audit but wondered if there was a tool I could use that could give me some high level stats on each of the domains in the Disavow? Ideally, I'd love to be able to drop a list of domains into a tool that can tell me PR, DA, Spam Score, Citation Flow, Trust Flow in an exportable table. Does such a tool exist?

Yes, I took Laura's advice and all sorted now.

I'm working on a site that has 280 blog posts that have either been migrated from an old CMS site or created on the Dev version of the new WordPress site.

We've written 280 unique meta descriptions so they don't truncate but it there a quick way I can export the current H1s and then import them into Yoast so they are set as the Page Titles?

I've written unique Page Titles and meta descriptions for all the Service and Products page and just want a way to speed up the blog posts as their H1s are really good and what I would use as Page Titles anyway.

Any help, greatly appreciated!

Excellent, thanks Chris

One of this client's top keyword is "oak beams". They already rank well in the UK for other related terms like "reclaimed oak beams" at /reclaimed-oak-beams/ and "air dried oak beams" at /air-dried-oak-beams/

We have created a page at /oak-beams/ but this page ranks nowhere? Instead the reclaimed oak beams or air dried oak beams page ranks for the term "oak beams".

Any ideas why Google is swapping between those pages and not choosing the /oak-beams/ page?

A few notes are that the /oak-beams/ page is newest page on the site and yes I know there are no links pointing to it but there are no links pointing to the other pages either?

Does anyone have experience and advice on ranking a .com site in Switzerland and Saudi Arabia?

The site currently ranks well in the UK and Italy but they want to expand into Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.

Any advice or links to resources would be hugely appreciated and I'd also be interested in entering into a joint venture with someone to focus on those 2 countries while I focus on the others. Anyone interested?

Hopefully a quick Yes No answer to this one but if I site links to my site as follows: www.mysite.com/?gclid=CNuG0Kasfy7oCFfMbtAodZg4AIw

Is there value in that link still?

I have a client's site that was hacked in December and a whole bunch of spam pages were created. We've since removed those pages and they serve a 404 error now.

But I pick up a new link almost every day from a another spammy site linking back to the pages that were created.

I'm updating the Disavow as I see the new links reported in ahrefs but what else can I do to stop these buggers and how can I recover rankings other than building links and creating content

I have a site that wants to target the keywords listed below. They are a small company with just a few ski chalets in Val d'Isere, a ski resort in France. They don't have ski chalets in any other ski resort.

Val d'Isere chalets
luxury ski chalets
luxury ski chalets Val d'Isere
catered chalet Val d'Isere
catered chalet val d isere
catered ski chalet val d'isere
catered ski chalets
chalets in Val d'isere
chalets in val d isere
luxury catered ski chalets
luxury ski chalets

Their domain name includes "valdisere" but I can't get this site onto Page 1, it keeps lingering on Page 2 and 3.

I wondered how you would approach this site with pages? Would you reply on the homepage to rank for all these terms or create seperate pages for the terms, and if so how would you group the terms per page?

Hi Dmitrii,

Any chance you can talk me through how to do a submission without review or can I drop you a line at Hyperlinks Media?

Thank you

Louise

If I analyse a domain with Moz Page Analysis tool, it says that the domain is hosted in the United States but if look up the same domain on who.is, the hosting location is Italy?

Has anyone had any recent success with creating a Wiki page? I created a page that has been in Draft for 8 weeks waiting for a Wiki Editor to review and approve it.

Perhaps someone here is has a more established Wiki account than mine and can help please?

PS: Yes, I know a Wiki page doesn't hold much SEO value but it has not been created for SEO purposes
