After 10th August ranking has changed
-
Good evening,
I hava a questiong regardin the ranking after 10th August. I hava an online tire shop and the ranking has changed that means I was on the first position on search term "anvelope" and now I am on the 3 rd place.
I have unique content, few duplicate content and still in front of my site there are sites with huge duplicate content and not so unique.
Is it a coincidence that the position has changed on the 10 August or I was affected by Emanuel?
How Emanuel update can affect an online tire shop?
In other city's I am on the firs place.
My site is www.anvelope.ro
Thank's
Florin

If you know you've got other people's stuff on your site then get it off. Emanuel penalizes sites that have repeated DMCA takedown requests.
But I highly doubt this is Emanuel.
You may be confusing Emanuel and Panda. Panda is about poor quality content...but there was no Panda update on August 3rd, plus a Panda update would drop you way lower than #3!!!
My main site varies between #1 and #3 for it's main keyword all the time. And it's not because I have a penalty.

Emanuel penalizes sites for excessive copyright infringement, nothing to do with content quality.
The best course of action is an on page audit + content/link building plan based on your strengths/weaknesses.

Hi Oleg, Marie,
Thank you for your answer. I thought too that some algorithm as changed and has been applied in the same time with Emanuel update.
Oleg, I read about Emanuel penalties poor quality content. I am sure that I have a very good quality content but my appreciation it can be not same with google. I write the content using over then 3 sources and is unique. I thought that Emanuel penalties me for the pour quality content.
Marie, the rankings were the same for over 3 months . Maybe they has some link building strategy The domain is old. The position was ranked by SeoMoz ranking and me with incognito search.
Do you think I should go on with link building strategy?

A drop from position 1 to 3 is pretty unlikely to be a penalty. I can think of a few reasons for the drop:
-Normal ranking fluctuation
-Some minor algorithm change
-Your competitor is kicking your butt in acquiring quality links
-The initial high ranking was a honeymoon boost (if it is a relatively new site)
-What you thought was initially #1 was actually a personalized result
-
Probably a coincidence.. rankings do fluctuate. If you were hit by Emmanuel, you probably wouldn't be on the front page, let alone #3.
In additional, your competitors could have just improved their rankings (and as a result, your's dropped)
-
PS I was 3 months on the fist position with no varies in all city's

Do references to neighborhoods and local attractions in body copy provide any benefit to geographic rankings for the city in which those neighborhoods/attractions exist?
A few years ago, some SEOs encouraged the mentioning of local points of interest in the copy of a page to improve localized rankings for the city in question. The argument was that a page mentioning "Wrigley Field" (in a natural-seeming manner) would be more likely to be ranked for "Chicago" searches. A similar argument promoted the use of maps (assuming they have a meaningful purpose) because of the neighborhoods, streets, etc mentioned on the map. Was this ever actually a benefit, and if so is it still?

Keyword ranking stuck in neutral... Suggestions needed
Hi everyone. I wanted to make a post in hopes of getting some opinions on my next course of action when it comes to SEO. I have worked for my current company for 3 years and raised their keyword ranking from 39% to 55% (according to MOZ's keyword tracker). I did this mostly through improving on-page SEO for each keyword. I think the on-page SEO is as good as it can get? Just so you guys know there are 101 keywords they want to rank for nationally. We currently rank for 56. My current company has really starting to ask me more about the percentage we are at and they of course want it to grow (or show consistent growth) as time passes. Since May 2014 it seems to have fluctuated each week from 50% to 58%. Some other info: We are well known in our industry We post on social media almost every day We are at event trade shows We are a global company We have tons of ads in industry magazines etc. We have industry news sites write about us and link to us We are consistent with press releases (a few a month) With that being said, where should I go from here to get those number to grow? As I mentioned, my company is starting to look at these numbers more.

Which page is currently ranking the best for a particular keyword?
Hi Guys! I have approx. 50 keywords that I'm tracking for a website that has about 80 pages. I am wondering is there any way that I can find out which page on the site is currently ranking best for each of the keywords on my list? Ideally I would like to export the entire list with the keyword in the first column and the page that ranks best on the website for each given keyword, in the second column. Apologies if the wording of this post is confusing - I am not quite sure how to make it clearer. The aim of my task is to determine which keywords should be allocated to each page on the site so I need to work out which keywords are working already for certain pages so that I don't take those efforts away from the well-optimised pages. Many thanks! Meaghan

What is the best way to do a one time rankings check of 10000+ keywords
Title pretty much sums it up. At the pricing moz offers this is not practical. Even at their highest tier i would only get 3700 keywords, so it would take several months to get the results.

Competitive keyword ranking
Hi, I'm checking the SEOMoz keyword rankings report. I've set about 30 keywords and it's awesome to see how they rank and how many times they were clicked. However it would be interesting to see whether the keywords that I entered are competitive or not. It's not worth putting a lot of energy in making non competitive words rank higher I guess. So my question is: is it possible to see whether or not ranked keywords are competitive or not? Thanks!

Google keyword rankings
I show a MON icon (it looks like a calendar page) for all my google rankings. The icon is not clickable. Can anybody tell me what this is? Also, I use to be highly ranked in 100's of keywords in google now barely anything. The domain is several years old and has performed in well in the past. Can't figure out what is going on.
