Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you

no it just happened-I made no changes

There were one or two other days in the last 3 weeks where it dropped to say 132 and then back to over 700 on its own

Thank you for your answer.

After the April 24 drop to 95 the site has recovered to 550-700 hits a day down from 800

Thank you. It seems rather specific.

April 23 I got over 700 hits-April 24 -95 hits then setadily declining since then to about 16 % drop in organic search hits.

After Panda last year my visits increased 20%??

Penguin has affected my search results down 16%

When I look at my SEOmoz scan the only problem I see is "too many on page links"

The problem is that my blog for each month is considered one page-eg august 2007 I wrote many blogs-the total on page links was 106-but that included all the blogs that were written in a month.

The other problem area is duplicate content.

I thought Penguin was after "link farming" which I do not do.

Any advice how I can correct this?

Thank you. Why did the SEOmoz report flag as too many links? I guess they define too many as over 100.

The problem is they define a page as a category that could have 10 or 15 different posts in a month. Should I just ignore the issue?

I am concerned that the posts that I link to will drop in ranking. These are internal links to relevant pages within my own site=self serving posts.

Some were above the fold (I was inexperienced when I did this).

My average blog article is 600-700 words.In some that SEOmoz flagged - were a series of 8 posts or articles written in one category over a period of one month which had a total of 130 self serving links

Thank you.  My SEOmoz report flagged one category on my blog during one month which had 130  internal links spread over 15 posts or articles.

Where does the 250 limit apply as I was flagged for having at most 10 per artcile although some were above the fold

My SEOmoz report showed many posts with "too many links."

I can easily go back into wordpress and delete self serving links. But is there a downside to this if these posts are already ranked well on google search for the desired key words?

Or will deleting the excess self serving links improve ranking

THe main difference I see in the report on my site compared to a higher ranking competator is my percentage of no follow-54% me 4% on competator

How big a factor is no follow in ranking?

What is the major factor in the seomoz "trust rating"?

Does high no follow rate impact trust factor?

Thank you very much,

Thank you very much. Need I worry that the current photos which appear in google images that are up and ranked well will disappear until the crawlers find them again and re rank them?

Thank you.

Many of my photos come from "my Pictures" with various "file names"

I do use alt tag but from my reading tonight it appears file name is important as well. For example I posted a tummy tuck photo ot appears in the proper place"Before and After Photos Tummy Tuck" on google but when you click on image it says Amanda.

I am assuming I must change file names on my pictiures and re load images into Worpress Media Gallery-?? correct

I publish before and after photos of plastic surgery procedures-breast implnats tiummy tuck etc.

I use word press.

What are best keywords, category labels and tags to get best ranking in before and after photo posts
