Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What i think is http://prntscr.com/66lgl8 being identified as  duplicate content.

Thank you guys for your effort I appreciate it.

I found the answers i think.

I too use Yoast plugin for most of my wp site and i do notice the same issues. Ryan has  answered it already regarding the Meta titles. However, i would still suggest you to  manually check the meta title of your page with view source code and see if the page has the same title that you used. And regarding what google has to show in the SERP, i think you should not really worry about that.

Hi,

I don't know if this is strange or just normal thing for some keywords to rank one position up for around 24 hours and get back to its original position.

Making it clear to understand, i have these 3 keywords kw1, kw2, kw3 on first page of google on position #3,#3 and #4 respectively. The content  of the site is almost static so adding new contents to the site is out of question for now.

I noticed that at least 2 times a week those keywords rises to one position above  and then gets back to their  own normal position. I noticed the serp position change takes place for around 24 hours only.

So there is a website www.domainname.com that is based on wordpress. Basically this site has 8-10 pages  but it is not a blog. And it has a subdomain  mystore.domainname.com which is based on magento. While developing the site the circumstances were such that we had to use a subdomain for ecommerce based on magento.

So the wp site is ranking and people are landing on that site. It makes sense when it has a bounce rate of around 72% because people are actually going to the subdomain ( store ) after they land on the wp site. Because they are actually looking to buy.

My question is will this bounce rate affect in ranking of the wp site ? Because for now only the wp site is ranking for most of the terms. Should i consider  removing the wp site and have the whole site based on magento ?

I appreciate any kind of feedback and suggestion

I would recommend you to do that.  Homepage may have different versions  depending on the CMS you are using.

index.htm index.html

index.php

So as @donford mentioned you can fix that with .htaccess

First thing which one you want to brand ?  And as what Ray said,  301 redirect the other domains to the primary domain.

What difference in the meta description do you see ? Is the SERP page showing up different meta description that the one you have entered ? Or, SERP is showing different meta description when you search for "yourdomainname.com" and "search terms" ?

I would suggest you to manually check with the meta description from the source code to see if it is the same meta description you are using.

Don also has suggest you a very useful link.  Additional help can be from

Ryan has answered it. With WP i use the Yoast plugin and it gets the job done well.

DA and PA does not depend on the number of backlinks. DA and PA depends on the quality of the backlinks. Authority and Trust. It may be that the backlinks that you created do not have much value. Better move ahead building quality backlinks from high authority domain and pages.

It is always good to start with the basic first. Start with your on page seo and then you can move to off page seo.

If you are targeting local then have a uniform local citation for the websites. Target quality local directory and submit your business there. Have a uniform NAP. Be consistent. Add business to google local etc.

If you want to start learning SEO i hope these links may help you up.

SEO is dynamic. Those methods which ranked website in the last few years may not rank your website this year. SEO is not a fast process. It takes time though.

Before starting with SEO .. learn how to discover the right keywords to target. How to create backlinks and how to diversify your anchor texts. Because you are not just going to build backlinks based on your money keywords only.

Good Luck

Hi Bas

I have seen most of this case with CMS like Wordpress. I haven't yet faced this with Magento yet. But with WP i am using some SEO plugins and maybe that can be one reason. But i manually checked meta title and description of each pages via the source code view and it is the same as i used. But the meta description that is being displayed by google is obvious threat for CTR. I am trying to find if i can find any answer to this issue ( if it is really an issue ).

You must  have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3HX_8BAhB4

Using the right meta title and description is the best practice for on page seo. Since the competition for the keywords are low, you should be able to rank easily for those keywords. All the very best

I don't think this has something to do with the 301 redirect. I notice the same thing while i search for mydomainname.com  and keywords. Both of them display different meta description.

Here is something that can help you

A quick suggestion to identify those sites.

1. Check out their Domain and Page authority
2. Trust flow ( Majesticseo metrics )
3. Check with their backlink profiles using opensiteexplorer and ahrefs.com. Their backlink profiles must be healthy and coming from quality sites.
4. Check the pages you are going to link to. If they have thousands of outbound links. I will never link back from those kind of pages.

Also Donford has suggested very useful points.

If i am not wrong then your site must be on top while you search for coldcasebeer.com

But if you are search for terms like "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" then you are not in the top. Because "coldcasebeer.com" is the complete domain name which you can easily get on top for. People basically are not searching for "coldcasebeer.com" until and unless they know it is a branded term.  Where as  "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" can still have some search volumes and people may still be searching for these terms on google. These exactly are keywords that you need to rank for. And your domains is an EMD ( Exact match domain ) which means your domain name contains the exact keywords that people are searching for.

In order to rank for these terms you need to create quality backlinks using the these keywords as your anchor text. Don't over do it. You can use closely related terms as well when you are building backlinks. You backlink profile needs to have the right balance between the anchor texts you are using. Create backlinks related to "branded terms" as well.

Just to update on this i too know about Google doesn't always use our Meta tags. But its very weird when i see another meta tags when i search for mydomainname.com. But when i search for the keywords the SERP shows the meta tags i have used in my page. Weird !

What i know is you need to get quality backlinks to your page to increase your page authority. Don't go for large numbers of low quality backlinks but try to get as much as quality backlinks from high authority websites. Websites and pages that has more authority and trust will surely improve your DA and PA if you can link back from them.

Hi

I don't really think that you will have hard time ranking up in google for adult toys store. My friend ranked #1 successfully for multiple keywords related to adult toys store. His target was local and his google page was ranking number 1 for certain terms.

Also what i think is you don't really have to build backlinks from porn websites. You can create quality contents regarding your brand and then get quality backlinks to the store you are trying to rank. So what i think is you really don't have to worry.
