Ok I see what you mean, it doesnt create a separate page, but opens up the image in the whole window, but you can treat it as its own page. When you upload an image you have options to select what you use as a link for it right now you have selected to link to the image itself.
If you click on link to NONE the image will not open in a new window. See attached. This might be the older layout of WP but the functionality show be the same
On one of my sites Google displayed customer reviews for a while with star rating having like you said used rich snippets for a review, then one day it disappeared as well.
I am sure you wont like this answer and I dont either, but Rich snippets come and go in SERPS (what you refer to the organic search)
My understanding rich snippets for google is still a new thing and its working out how and when to display them, especially since many found ways to game the review snippets to show that they have 30+ 5 star reviews on spammy pharma links.
On the other hand, from my experience author rich snippets are likely to stay on much longer
Hi Christopher,
I have used wordpress for many years now and on many sites, what do you mean WP generates a page for images? do you have a link to show or take a screenshot? Thanks
How new is your site? Because regardless of how new, in a few days to month max your tweets comments shows get indexed. Rankings tanking could be something related to your site, but also the industry something tells me that I was reading some Google updates targeting coupon sites, possible this could have an effect. This goes to say, I know this might be crazy to think but Google is not all in all, if people are liking your site, sharing via social networks, and you also have other networks to get your word out so definitely in this time continue to examine your sites for any possibilities for de-ranking like are are doing with short-content, and also focus on other means on reaching out via twitter if done effectively is very powerful. This is a diversification technique where you are diversifying your eggs out side of just the google basket, how this helps.
Hi 2bloggers,
You mentioned, "I know my readers appreciate my content and it is appropriate for my genre but I am thinking Google knocked me because the majority of my posts are short." Generally if your readers appreciate your content they will share, like, tweet, and comment to them. If this is the case Google will not care if its thin content or long content. All it cares about is great content, and the way Google knows it is great content is the shares, likes, tweets, comments, traffic to your site. These metrics help convince Google that your site is awesome.
Having said, longer great content, is better than shorter great content. You can also try inviting guest posters to write long awesome content to help with some of your writing. They will appreciate you letting them write for you assuming you have an active reader base.
Hi Nick,
Since this is a moz product you can and should submit a support ticket and actually guys working on the crawler will be able to respond to your concern.

Hi Fabrizo,
This has been addressed before hope this helps: http://moz.com/community/q/seo-moz-poor-rankings-reporting
One great answer is contacting moz aka submit a support ticket
Hope this helps
Being in a position not to be able to give out links is a great thing in a way, because 1) mutual link methods are generally not allowed by google aka give me a link and Ill give you a link. 2) Links pointing to your site, without a link pointing to theirs gives you more link juice, then if you had to link to their content where the link juice would have to be shared with them. Does that makes sense?
As far as getting people to link to your site its an art in itself its called link-building in the SEO world or generally getting the word out about your great content, and then people sharing, linking, getting the word out about your content.
I thought your graph displayed traffic and not rankings, how are you SERPs did they drop? Or are you still ranking in the same position for your keywords?
Because if the rankings are the same, it could be (I know generally this gets sorted out within first few months) but could be the issue of google still trying to figure out where to rank you: http://www.linkbuildr.com/reasons-why-new-pages-rank-well-then-drop/
I just gave a suggestion you have to do your keyword research to see what keyword makes sense to go with, aka the one that gives most focused traffic that you are after.
As for body text vs title, the general consensus is to keep the keyword same in the title as in the body text, alt tags, meta description etc.
Hope this helps!
Hi Steven,
How are your rankings have they changed?
Significant repetition of the word "Kingspan" will not cause a negative mark, excessive or keyword stuffing will. I am not sure exact ratio that moz uses for their keyword stuffing, or bettter yet not many know Google's ratio for keyword stuffing. In your case it looks natural. You have short descriptions and single word mentions of kingspan. If you had much more text, and say kingspan in every sentence, or better yet if you had two or more word keyword, ex: appliance repair atlanta in that exact order in every sentence that would look un natural..
Also your page is a shop page with various versions of the product aka a list so perfectly normal repetition. Great work you've earned "Grade A" 
There is a way to display a lot of content (assuming its great relevant content) but not all at once:
http://jqueryui.com/accordion/ accordion and similar hide-until-clicked-to-reveal features will allow for clean design and allowing you to add great content.
Btw jquery is by no means the only way of making this happen there are different code snippets or even frameworks and shortcodes if you are using a content management system to make this happen
Let me know if this helps
In this example follow your natural human instinct, not your robot/SEO instinct.
Human instinct: personal driver in los angeles
Robot/SEO/keyword mindset, personal driver los angeles.
However another way of doing this is "los angeles personal driver" doesn't need stop-word and sounds natural. Also sometimes los angeles personal driver might be searched more often than personal driver los angeles see an image I attached as an example
But again in all of this try to write content for the person and not the search engines, so keep that human instinct on when you do this. Hope this helps
Also according to http://clicky.com/compare/woopra (last updated June, 2013) says both seem to have desktop alerts with sounds etc. So it might be worth checking up with Woopra to see if they still might have this feature
Many like and use clicky.com. Check it out, and let us know what you think!
Unless others have any input, I believe redirects are the sole method of linking to changed URLs. Search engines seem to be quite happy with them.
Hi Cemal,
I found this from Shopify's Knowledgebase:
You can find the Redirect feature in your Navigation tab in the admin, at the bottom of the page.
Redirects are a great way to point old product URLs to your new URLs when migrating from another store or cart service to Shopify. A redirect is defined by the path which accesses it (for example, "/categories/sports/boomerang"), and the target location to which the site visitor is redirected (like "/products/wooden-boomerang").
Note that the following paths cannot be used when redirecting:
Link: http://support.shopify.com/customer/portal/articles/75541-can-i-create-url-redirects-
Let me know if this solves your issue without causing like you said damage. But do remember even redirects can take 30-90 days for successful link juice passing depending on the scope of URL redirects.
Mttompsons, Google does not or should not "index" pages that return a 404, which means the page is not there.
What I mean by should not index, is that there is an instance where the old page is still in the index and from what I read that site will be dropped next time Google goes to try to reach/crawl that URL.
Links without anchor text = hidden link (regular user cannot see it, but the link is still in the code) so yes you should worry about it, and remove if you can.
If you are wondering why they are there? Someone may have tried to remove the link and instead just removed the anchor text leaving the link.
If you are wondering how to search for these links, search for ">" and "> " might be a good start
Hope this helps
