Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you can get a link from that site to yours, go for it.

Hi Rafiqul,

The site overall does not seem like it is user friendly. All i see are ads on the site and not a lot of quality content. The keyword "love messages" has been over used on the home page and might be the cause of a penalty. I also see that you are using "infolinks" that highlights different keywords on your page. From a visitor standpoint, it's not very appealing and might be causing some issues.

Your site appears to be spammy and not offering quality content to the visitors. The keyword "earn money online" has been used over 12 times , just in the meta data itself, This kind of over optimization is bound at attract a penalty. You have to write for the visitor and provide meaningful content, there are spelling errors on the site. This will not only impact your rankings but also the perception that visitors have of your site.

Hi Ian,

You might still be having bad links associated with your site, that's why you've gone down in traffic again. Check to see if the drop in traffic was associated with any of Google's updates here . Check your competitors and the keywords that they are outranking you for. Are they better optimized for those keywords?

Hi Christian,

You highlighted excellent sources for reference. You can apply the 301 redirect to move the domain. Ideally 301 the specific pages to domain 2 that relate to the same product info as domain 1. This way when someone clicks on a product page for domain 1 that is still ranking , they see a similar page on domain 2 when they are redirected.

hmm, just hire some quality copywriters either on staff or freelance based on your budget. Research keywords for them to write on and get started? Hope i understood the question correctly

Hi Steve,

I'd like to reference this site www.cityfeet.com that i did in one of my earlier posts. This site ranks extremely well for any geo targeted search for the keyword "office space for lease" . Type in " office space for lease dallas" or "office space for lease new york" they are always in the top search results. Their URL structure is below:

http://www.cityfeet.com/cont/new-york-office-space

http://www.cityfeet.com/cont/tx/dallas-office-space

So it seems like you may have to adopt a dual structure on the site. For the more competitive search terms you can have the keyword close to the domain name. For the others , you can have a state abbreviation and the city keyword next.

I would agree with Dana. We tried it for one of our clients spending $1000 a day in the franchising industry and our results plumetted. It reduced our impressions massively thus impacting our # of leads and increasing our cost per lead. Some things are just done best the good ole fashioned manual way :):)

My suggestion would be to do a series of follow up posts on this related topic and optimize them for related keywords that are getting traction out there. We had a similar situation with one of our clients . The post addressed the topic of the best days of the week to buy airline tickets. (It is Wednesday, in case you're wondering what it is :)) .  It was hugely successful and the client wrote a series of follow up posts to that and they all did fairly well. He linked them all together so one fed the other in terms of traffic.

Tanveer, your site speed might have something to do with it. Please take a look at the GT Metrix report that i ran for your site on this link. It grades your site speed as a "F". Also gives you recommendations on what you need to do to fix it. Once you fix the site speed issue,i think the indexing issue will be solved.

no way to tell for sure except for looking at dates when the traffic dropped and when the Google updates took place. I've added the change history link for your reference.

Hope this helps

yes i would leave them.

Have you suffered any penalty or loss in rankings/traffic. If you have then the answer is yes, use the disavow tool to report all the suspected bad links to Google. If you have not then a suggested  route would be to contact those directories and get your site removed.

Hi Paul,

Do you have year over year data in analytics so you can compare Nov performance this year to last year. It might be seasonal or perhaps an over optimization penalty for the keyword "uncontested divorce". I  see it used on the page 7-8 times. Wait till next month and if the drop in traffic continues then you may have suffered the penalty. Try redoing the on site elements and reduce the keyword density. Hopefully that works.

Ian,

I suggest using the ad preview tool https://adwords.google.com/d/**AdPreview**/ . The ad preview tool generally gives the most accurate results by specifying the geo location when you're doing your search.

Cheers,

Don't use the "no follow" attribute. The only time i'd recommend using "no follow" is on pages where you have external links . Blog comment pages, resources page etc.

Tracking your product listing ads

If you scroll to the end in the above article, it mentions instructions for tracking at the keyword level.

Stay away from article marketing and switch over to Press release writing and submissions. PR is perceived more positively than article marketing and you essentially get the same opportunity to build links with PR syndication.
