Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes - there is turbulence now in SERP:
http://mozcast.com/
https://algoroo.com/
http://serp.watch/

According to Google this was "core update".

Blocking IPs on geolocation can be dangerous. But you can use MaxMind GeoIP database:
https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-php
or you also can implemente GeoIP in "add to cart" or "new user" as additional check. So when user is outside of US/CA you can require them to fill captcha or just ignore their requests.

Now from bot point of view - if bot visit with US IP and with UK (example) IP they will see same pages. Just within UK they can't create new user or adding to cart. HTML code will be 100% same.

PS: I forgot... VPN or Proxies are cheap these days. I have few EC2 instances with everything just for mine own needs. Bad Guys also can use them so think twice about possible "protection". Note the quotes.

Probably bug with RTL languages. I view source and there was only 23 times of this "שמלות כלה נפוחות".

Can you mail this to help@moz.com for assistance?

You can contact with Help team here:

How do I cancel my Moz Pro subscription?
"You can cancel your account by logging into Moz and then heading over to the Billing & Subscription page. From there, just click on the “Cancel Subscription” link. Find out more about this in our Help Hub!"
What happens if I cancel my account in the middle of my subscription period?
"Your account will remain active until the end of the subscription period but will not renew. No refund is processed during this period."

I hope that this help you.

1. You may receive this probably due broken redirects.

2. No.

3. Yes.

4. Check redirects. You can use cURL or wget (console apps). You also can use SC "Fetch & Render".

If you're afraid - PM me with link to make some tests.

Today Twitter make changes and implementing new button so shared will be lost.

OSE count non-www and www as different because bot need to crawl all pages to catch 301 redirect. This isn't real-time or quick so you need little patience. Please check canonical on your WordPress and change all of them to new host (www.example.com). You need to change host in WP -> Settings -> General and in Google SearchConsole preferred domain.

For social buttons - there are few ways how they get URL for sharing. Long story short - with site move you will lost all of your sharing statistics except G+ pluses. There is no way to recover them except if you use data-url for them. But you will share different URL then.

IF you wish to keep number of social shares then you need to 301 www to non-www. Within time OSE will catch this 301 and links will push DA higher there.

Anyway - look messy answer but i know this situation. When you make site one of first job is to check www and non-www also http and https. This make 4 checks (and few more with strange domains as ftp.example.com; mail.example.com) totally just to be sure that site can be seen only in one host. Because later 301 can broke something. And delaying this 301 make things more and more complicated.

You can speed up this move with using "Site move" tool in SearchConsole:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en

With this Google will update for few days relevance to new domain. You shouldn't rely only on 301 redirect because this mean that all your site must be re-crawled for effect.

Well isn't big deal at all. You need to:

• investigate error 500. Usual this is part of "door knocking". You should see who and what is going to do just for error 500. Watchout for /wp-content where themes and plugins are. Also /wp-admin and /wp-include where WP core is.
• investigate 404 errors. This is part 2 of "door knocking". Often happens when vulnerability doesn't exist. Like timthumb or revSlider - someone still knocking on few days. (this was vulnerability that leave more than 100k sites with PHP execution)
• investigate strange redirects - 301, 302. IF site is working perfect you shouldn't see any redirects. But if you're WWW and someone link w/o WWW you can see redirect. Also WP comes with internal redirector for broken urls, can be typo mistakes. But more interesting are vulnerability so any strange activity can be easy seen.
• investigate strange traffic - can be POST or GET to /wp-content/plugins or /wp-content/themes PHP code. In perfect world only WP can call them. Or using WP-AJAX. Direct calling to code isn't recommended anymore.
• investigate bot traffic - like 2000 requests for 30 mins to wp-login.php This is one example - you can easy see them because one IP can do lot of requests.
• you need to check file structure - new/changed files can be warning that something was happened. I like GIT/Mercurial or SVN because they can check quick folders for changes. Bad news - you need SSH access and some dev skills. If you don't have SSH then you can download whole site and compare it with original copy. I can recommend WinMerge (free and open source) tool for comparing files/folders in Windows. If you're on Mac just as me you can use FileDiff (free) or Kaleidoskope (paid tool, trial available). There is also paid multi platform tools as Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge, Delta Walker and few more.
• you need to make HTTP password to sensitive portions of WP. Also you must do some hardening of WordPress installation. This is covered in Codex here. For example try to login on mine site: http://www.mobiliodevelopment.com/wp-admin/ Good luck!
• you can implement additional security in .htaccess like 5G firewall here. Or you can implement WAF (web application framework) like modsecurity.

I think that i cover most of mine daily routine inspections. Look scary but when you get experience will took less than 5 minutes per site.

Spam score isn't only backlinks:
https://moz.com/blog/spam-score-mozs-new-metric-to-measure-penalization-risk
https://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday
and here you can see all of them:
https://d1avok0lzls2w.cloudfront.net/uploads/blog/5515baf4a31ab5.95588612.gif

So you need to fix them. Here is another example:
I visiting:
http://www.cornerjob.com/robots.txt/company/  <- please note there isn't 404!
and i get:

This tell bots that your site have only one page and it's homepage. And / it's 302 to /en/.

That's why you have such score. You need links too (no-followed).

Sound as error with mod_security and it's configuration.

You must check in hosting control panel (cPanel/WHM/webmin or other) http error log. There is information what's really happening in execution of this wp-login.php. Unfortunately we can't help you and you need to contact your hosting provider to resolve this.

Yes - each page CAN have different meta description with different text. This isn't prohibited.

This is REQUIRED!

https://moz.com/learn/seo/meta-description

Also you can go in Google SearchConsole:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/html-suggestions?hl=en
and see do you have "Duplicate meta descriptions" and link to them.

Yes - could be. You need to use Google SearchConsole Fetch&Render tool to identify are images is loaded at all.

Also note that some of lazy loading tools used data-src ( https://github.com/dinbror/blazy ), other pagespeed_lazy_src ( https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/filter-lazyload-images?hl=en ) and third data-img-src and many others. You need to check what attribute your tool is used and check are images crawlable and indexed.

You need to check also Qazy - https://github.com/qnimate/Qazy yet-another-lazy-loading tool without negative SEO impact because images are loading from src attribute. And this is explained here: http://qnimate.com/lazy-loading-images-and-its-seo-impact/

So - yes this negative impact could be caused from images lazy loading too.

• If your website is is using different ccTLD (.de/.es/.fr) domains - yes you can verify them and set to specific geo-location.
• If your website is using different gTLDS subdomains (de.example.com/es.example.com/fr.example.com) - yes you can verify them and setup to specific geo-location.
• If your website is using different folders with gTLDS (example.com/de;example.com/es;example.com/fr) - yes you can verify them and setup to specific geo-location.
• If your website is using url parameters (example.com/?hl=de;example.com/?hl=es;example.com/?hl=fr) - no you can verify them only once and setup to only one geo-location.

Whatever your structure is - please use hreflang to avoid duplicate content and provide even better experience for users and bots:

• https://moz.com/learn/seo/hreflang-tag
• https://moz.com/blog/hreflang-behaviour-insights
• https://moz.com/blog/open-source-library-tool-check-hreflang

TL;DR - Yes and no.

There are two cases and i will be descriptive as possible.

1st case is if subfolder are linked from other pages. Like /subfolder2/page2 -> /subfolder1/ or /subfolder1/page1 -> /subfolder2/. In this case you link direct to 404 page and this can frustrate users and bots too. There is also some confirmation that nonuseful 404 page is low quality signal too: http://themoralconcept.net/pandalist.html (#10 in low quality signals). That's why you need to use crawlers and fix 404s - good for users and good for bots too.

2nd case is when users are curios. I'm one of them. Sometime. So let's say we have curious URLs:
http://www.moz-team.com/randfishkin/article1http://www.moz-team.com/randfishkin/article2
http://www.moz-team.com/randfishkin/article3
http://www.moz-team.com/cyrussheppard/article1
http://www.moz-team.com/cyrussheppard/article2
http://www.moz-team.com/cyrussheppard/article3
as you can see urls are very clean and very descriptive. And now add curious user (pick me!) that can want to see more about Rand or Cyrus. This can be page with CVs, short bio or list of all their articles. So just editing URLs to: http://www.moz-team.com/randfishkin/ or http://www.moz-team.com/cyrussheppard/ using backspace. In perfect world this will give information... but in your case 404. And this is not good for users.

That's why it's much better if you can create "category" page for each subfolder even if this isn't linked from other pages. This was explained many times as "silo structure":
https://moz.com/blog/site-architecture-for-seo
http://www.bruceclay.com/eu/seo/silo.htm
http://www.stateofdigital.com/optimising-urls-seo-ux/

I hope that this answer will help. You MUST optimize site for users and bots too.

Correct code should be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/(.*)$ blog/$1 [R=301,L]

This is shoot in the dark but definitely it's related to not indexed homepage.

I found that your site didn't return proper 404 error:http://www.schoppnutritionclinic.com/tester-blah-blah
http://www.schoppnutritionclinic.com/tester
http://www.schoppnutritionclinic.com/test
All pages above return "200 OK" and there isn't "404 Not found" error. This is called soft-404.

So bot trying to index different pages and he finally didn't index your homepage because it's same as something other page. I.e. you have duplicated page.

How to fix this?

1. You should implement hard 404 error.
2. You should implement canonical page tags.

Both will give to crawlers enough information about actual pages presence or absence. And bot will know about true location of your pages in case of duplication.

I didn't use GMB in Twitter but i have some issue with AdWords. And GAW Twitter account was very useful for me answering me exactly what i need. And even they answer me for other questions in DM.

Overall their support forum strange since in 99% of cases you receive help from non-employees and some of answers are not very useful at all. Of course there are spectacular examples where someone receive help from employees:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/webmasters/R0MGhtF3IDs/6UghGfcXCAAJ
but they're rare. Very rare.

Their phone support is IVR (interactive voice response), their mail support was scaled with AI (i can't find article but i read in past someone complaining about that with case of Nexus ordering and epic mail correspondence with them). So we shouldn't scary that Joy trying their Twitter for helping.

I go in KeywordPlanner with same keyword and here are results that he show me. You can find them in link below.

So seems that SEMRush shows whole ad group sum for impressions. And you go in group and look only for specific keyword.

Brian,

i explain both ways as you may loose ratings in SERP. If you're sure that 1st isn't the case we're talking about then good for you.

The problem is N:2 data was shown in SERP using different methods. Example: http://www.mobiliodevelopment.com/pdf417-barcode-standard/ go in SDTT and look this url for rich snippets. There are 0 structured data except head metas. Now go back in SERP and look for "pdf417 standard" this article is maximum on 2-3 page if isn't on first. You can easy see "Mar 2, 2012 - PDF417 is a 2D barcode standard."

This is proof that you can have data w/o rich snippets. Now back on your problem. If you remember i talk about someone who lost his star reviews for year and they're back. I suggest this guy to go and ask here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters
Guess? Nothing happens. And this was 11-10 months ago.

That's why you need to check and recheck your implementation just to see that everything is correct on your side. This mean technical implementation and logical implementation. Then you may looking for support in link above and prepare for waiting with patience.

PS: I can take a look too but need url to inspect this site.

You need to check this post from Rand first: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores

I if you have drop in 11/19 then this can be related with unconfirmed update. But update on 11/13 i didn't know. Can you share SearchConsole and/or Analytics here?
