Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, Assuming that no changes were made to the page content, I would see if the drop happened around the time of a Google algorithm change by using a free tool like Fruition: http://fruition.net/google-penalty-checker-tool/. It's also worth looking at the page's backlink profile (Open Site Explorer) as any spammy links acquired may have caused the problem. I would be surprised if simply adding nofollows to some outbound links would have such a drastic impact on your ranking. George @methodicalweb

That's correct Keri! When determining whether something is a duplicate or not we will use the on-page information itself. Thanks! Joel.

Disabling the feature will keep the trackback link from being posted on your site, but it wouldn't remove existing links from other sites. However, it may discourage people who are linking to you just to get the trackback link. This could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Personally, I don't' want or need any links coming from someone who is doing it just for the trackback. Most of them are nofollowed anyway.

Hi Social Engaged, I believe this has been covered a while back, here is the link! I also believe it shouldn't be much of an issue as Google will be able to distinguish that they are social profiles and are supposed to be kept consistent.

Typically if Google is choosing to show a snippet of content instead of your meta description then there is something they don't like about your meta description. For instance, it could be too short, too long, over-optimized, not formatted correctly, etc... You can't force Google to use your meta description, but you can play around with rewriting meta tags to see if they end up liking one enough to use when someone searches for your primary keywords on that page. Also use the No ODP tag if you aren't already.

Are you continuously adding new pages to the website each month?  If so, you could be diluting your domain authority. So when google caches your website, the pages have less authority than the last time resulting in a drop in rankings.

Use the Yoast SEO plugin and focus on making your descriptions relevant with a bit of a call to action and you should be OK

Howdy, Great question! First of all, I recommend reading this official article on Domain Authority: http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority Domain Authority is primarily a link-based metric, so external links to your website are going to influence more than anything. But Domain Authority is also a combination of all our other metrics, such as MozTrust, so the quality of the links that you build is important as well. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts. Building your reputation by acquiring links from other high authority, trusted domains is the best way to increase your Domain Authority. It's a hard route, but the rewards are lasting.

So, if I understood, my code to have in the header.php of the website should be: hope im right :)

Thank you Adam, Very good answer, thats what I needed Please let me know if I understood good: Should I replace the /contact.php in the example to my real address /en/contact? And basically I should put the below condition. Should I write this code for each url i want to redirect? so that it would be like if /en/contact, then  rel="canonical" /contact else /contact if /en/about-us, then  rel="canonical" /about-us else /about-us etc?

Hello Tuzel, Thank you again for your help. Plugin could not be deactivated as it left translation and original all in one page. I found out that I could also use this code in the header.php of the website Hope it will work, seems less strong than canonical, maybe better try with this first

You are on the right track, I think. This is the hardest part of the whole process really - the "wall" that you hit after you've posted a good blog. Most of the advice I read, stops there and kind of expects us to know what to do or that people are magically supposed to find your awesome content and start linking. Here's some extra "technical SEO tricks" that I've started using. Since you've already got the good content - use that to build links (everyone else feel free to chime in, as I'm really new to this): Use the rel=author Markup to link your post to your Google+ page Add social media share buttons Promote your blog on your social media pages (FB, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn) Submit to blog directories (Technorati, Zimbio, Ontoplist, Alltop, BestoftheWeb, Blogarama, etc - All PR6). Make sure you choose the right category, so that all your links source from your niche and look natural - don't "automate" this process. Submit to bookmarking sites (Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, Delicious - All PR8) If anyone else has ideas for using their content to build good links, let me know. To answer your second question, how long a link takes until it adds value, it really depends. I've seen 2 weeks, and I have actually seen 5-6 months afterward, it finally shows up in Moz tools. Strange. Hope this helps. I'm still learning too - so anyone else have any suggestions?

thanks jesse, You now got me right Sorry if I was unclear.. yes, i will try monitoring all changes.. nothing happened by now only with keywords, so Im trying to slowly implement more optimization (starting from internal links and external forward links). I hope I will get somewhere with results, and I ll be more than happy to share with all you mozzers Thanks again. Eugenio
