Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Firefox has the GA? extension that tells you if GA is installed on a site or not.

This post might be helpful for you.

You site may have been impacted by the over optimization penalty. Redo the on site for your pages and ideally focus on only 1 keyword when optimizing the pages. Also check your backlinks and use the disavow tool to get rid of the bad ones.

Hi Raphael,

Did you follow all the steps as mentioned in this link. If yes then you will just have to wait till Baidu indexes your site.

Why would you want to redirect them to another page on the old site and explain it to the visitors. You can do that on the existing article page on the old site itself. I would advise against it because if you put a link to the new pages on the new site then Google will crawl the new site pages and associate your new site with the old one. You'd be better of deleting those articles off the old site and then adding them on the new site when they are no longer indexed by Google.

James,

Watch out for Google's over optimization penalty as you try and recover your ranks. Review all of your on site optimization and make any fixes as necessary to reduce the keyword density.

In addition to David's choice, my recommendations include:

• Advanced Web Rankings
• GShift Labs
• SEO Book Tools

Nathan,

Title - I'd use the keyphrase in the title tag

alt - I'd use a short description for the alt tag with the keyword in there , like a 5-6 word description.

Be patient Sam, you don't want to do too much too soon raising more flags with Google. As long as you're getting good citations for your places listing, it should be a matter of time before you regain your position. Since you did have the top positions in the past i'm assuming you followed all the best practices to optimize your places listing.

Good Question Luis,

Suggested Process below:

• Get a list of all your backlinks
• Make a list of all the known bad neighborhoods. You might have to research SEO blogs for this info
• Compare that with your list of backlinks
• You can also manually check any site to see if it is indexed in Google or not to confirm it's negative impact.

Here is a link to a useful post to get you started

Here's the link to the Google guide for Ajax URL indexing. Hope this helps.

Tudor, google did do 2 updates in Oct, the Penguin # 3 and the Page Layout # 2 , details here

The errors on your WMT might have something to do with it as you mentioned 2 million of them . That is definitely a very high number and might have raised flags with Google. Try cleaning out the 404's, redirecting any of the old url's to the new ones and then resubmit your sitemap.

Edward, yep i'd delete those listings and start afresh hiding the address.

More info on this excellent post   Do not rely on the Google review process, very unreliable.

Diane,

It's loading up fast for me as well. The gtmetrix report now gives it a "B" grade with a page load time of 1.51 seconds which is pretty good.

I would only use the no follow tag when i want to protect some information posted on the site from getting accessed by everyone. This includes any confidential internal info posted on the site or info that's behind a login. If you do not utilize the no follow attribute properly you can end up doing more harm than good. No harm in getting some additional pages indexed by Google as long as they don't compromise any data.

yes as long as they are links from credible sources and not bad neighborhoods.

this part refers to the same content being on the site but being translated in different languages, then you dont need to worry about the content being marked as duplicate. Hope this helps.

My suggestion would be to be proactive as opposed to being reactive and avoid experiencing a rank drop. Ideally optimize one keyword per page on the site. Since the site has not been penalized yet, you can start off with your link building campaign as it does take time for the sites to approve your link and make it live on their site.

Mashable did a nice article on incorporating a twitter strategy for your business. Link here 

Another useful read is the social media strategy post on SEOMOZ here 

My suggestion would be to review the quality of the content on the site. If the site does host good quality content, then i would recommend submitting your articles on them. If they look spammy and dont really have meaningful content posted that the visitors can benefit from, i'd stay away from it.
