Hi,

Do you have past ranking data ? If you hit by Google penalty, you will see lose ranking.  Do you received any warning in Google webmaster tool ?

Note: I have checked your landing pages, I think they are keyword stuffed. You have used bold tag to many times on page.

Hi Jay Here is the list of World Wide Search Engines : http://www.sitepromotionlinks.com/SearchEngines/index.asp

You can find the countrywise SE from the above link.

I have some sites UK sites. Hope below sites work for you:

Bing map, yell.com, localmole.co.uk, directory.independent.co.uk, touchlocal.com, localpeople.co.uk, thomsondirectories.com, btexchanges.com.

Do your company facebook page, Google+ publisher page, pinterest business profile etc.

I have look into few sites. For example: I have just apple.com, which is doing good in all country Like from UK you will get apple.com/uk/ page and from India you will get apple.com/in/.

I am not sure, but I think its happening because by default site is redirecting to https://zh.greatfire.org/ means when I open greatfire.org I redirected to https://zh.greatfire.org/ .

I am not sure regarding it....

Can you PM me the some of the directory URLs. Most of the directory links are consider as unnatural links. Are these directories adding any value to user. Are you getting any traffic from these directories ? If not, then tell them to remove the link. If they ask for money for removing link you use "Google disavow link tool".

Hi Davin

The best thing in this situation is to wait for sometime more.. Because you just done the redirection of wrong url's to right url's so it will take some time. In webmaster tool you will see the changes later because the data in webmaster tool are updates on 15 days or monthly basis, depends on the website so you need to wait. The url that was 301 redirected should not appear in the search results so the problem of duplication will be sorted out shortly so dont worry. Also you can verify the redirection are done correctly or not from this redirect checker tool http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/.

I have one suggestion to crawl your website pages fastly : Maximize the "Crawl Rate" under Settings option of webmaster tool.

Hope my response would help you. If need any help feel free to ask.

Hi Carolina

Below are my thoughts on your question :

• Yes, internetofficer.com is the best tool to check the redirects. I also use the same.
• Screaming Frog SEO Spider tool is very famous & authenticate. This software gives you the detailed information of the website links. Yes you can definitely use this tool to see the redirects, errors, external links, URI Issues, file size, and much more.. This is a very useful tool for SEO's.
• Yes you will not get the result for 301 redirect set up link but after sometime of the redirection done. If you search for site:www.domain.com and site:domain.com then you might get the same results but only for the indexed pages. As per my knowledge google will only show the indexed pages in "site:" query. Also in your example the results will be shown the same on both the query i guess because you redirected the whole domain from www.domain.com to domain.com but yes it will only show the indexed pages in the results. Normally all SEO's do redirection from domain.com to www.domain.com.

Last both answers are perfect from the SEO5.

If you have any more que on any topic then i would like to help you.

I don't think targeting category page would be a good idea for "seo optimization for web" keyword because if someone has search for this keyword in Google and looking for seo then is it good idea to show seo articles? No, instead of that you can make separate page and explain what is seo, what you do in it, show some case custody, testimonials of clients, lead capture form etc.

Hi Stephen,

Does your website has search functionality ? I think these URLs generated whenever someone search on your site. The common solution for this is to block  search directory. If you don't want to share URL, you can PM me so that I can suggest you exact solution.

Hi,

I find both tags in your en.greatfire.org ( English version)  source page:

**<link rel="<a class="attribute-value">alternate</a>" hreflang="<a class="attribute-value">en</a>" href="[https://en.greatfire.org](view-source:https://en.greatfire.org/)" />
<link rel="<a class="attribute-value">alternate</a>" hreflang="<a class="attribute-value">zh-hans</a>" href="[https://zh.greatfire.org](view-source:https://zh.greatfire.org/)" />**

Can you remove Chinese version(second one) from source.  Same thing in Chinese version, remove english version tag. Hope this works for you...

You can promote busuness page from Kuduz or City Search. About linking, its totally depends upon your promotion method. Whats your business, target audience ? Is it going to help other ? Can you brief it out your question.

May I know the platform of website ? If it is wordpress, just one plugin is needed in that case.
