Feed sites replacing my pages in SERP
-
I have a problem!
Sites like:
http://lynk.ly/
http://www.yousaytoo.com/
http://www.stumbleupon.com/
http://friendfeed.com/Are replacing my posts even if i am searching for an exact title of the post.
For example this search query:
Christmas Party Style Sets With Black Cocktail DressesOriginal post here:
http://richclubgirl.com/christmas-party/christmas-party-style-sets-with-black-cocktail-dresses/How do i fight this issue? I want to stay on these sites somehow!
Thanks in advance!

You still have these links out there. The pages linking to you are still indexed. And they seem to be cloaking for Google...
http://thesavedquarter.com/2011/03/franklin-goose-you-suck/
The URL above links to you with the text "propecia 5mg" and links to this URL:
http://richclubgirl.com/tag/prada/When you or I visit that URL (thesavedquarter...) we will probably see a blank, white page. However, when Google visits the page they see content, including that spammy link to your site. You can tell this in two ways:
1. Visit Google's cache of the page, which is here:
2. Use a tool that allows you to switch your user agent (Webmaster Tools allows you to do this too, but I use a Firefox plugin) so that you can browse the web as Googlebot, in which case you will see what Google sees on that page, which is the content and a spammy link to your website in the right sidebar.
The reason this would be affected newer pages, as someone else mentioned in the other thread, is because your newer posts do not have the authority / trust of the older ones and are thus more easily affected by filters and penalties from Google.
Follow Oleg's advice regarding the backlink profile cleanup and make sure your site is very secure. As I mentioned in the other thread, use the disavow link tool, report the cloaking pages to Google as spam, and as they come out of the index hopefully the situation will improve. A reinclusion request after the links are cleaned up may help, but my guess is this is algorithmic so they may tell you that you don't have a penalty. In either case, cleaning up those links from the other sites should help. Good luck!

To add to what Oleg has advised...
Fat pinging your articles will help you:

Now i see them, thanks! Will try to use this tool! Thanks for an advice!
Traffic from Google dropped in Apr 2012 and was decreasing all the time till Nov 2012.
In total it decreased 9 times. In November is started to grow. In October i moved to a new hosting with old domain to get rid of pharma hack! Pharma hack dissappeared. Links are present somewhere! Will try the tool!GWT is set up, XML sitemap submitted, all posts indexed to this date.

New pages don't have any authority right away so the penalization is more noticeable, while your old articles have links/are more established and rank better than new ones in general (my guess).
I used OSE as well - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors.html?page=1&site=richclubgirl.com&sort=domains_linking_page&source=phrase&target=domain
Your best bet is to use the disavow tool.
Have you ever experienced a traffic drop? If yes, see what day that happened and if there were updates around that time.
Do you have GWT set up? Sitemaps submitted/updated with latest posts?
-
Thank You for Your reply, Oleg! But all posts older 2012 are performing well in Google! I don't see sense. Is it possible to penalize newest posts only?
There was pharma hack before, but i've moved to a new domain. Links are left somewhere! How can i get rid of them?
I looked in Open Site Explorer but didn't find any links with viagra anchors! Where did you look?
-
Usually you should outrank those site but I think you might have been penalized / hit with negative SEO =/
I clicked around your backlink profile and it looks like there are a lot of links with pharma anchor text (viagra in the philippines, tramadol 50mg, etc). I would recommend a backlink audit and removal of all of those negative links and see if that bounces you back up!
Cheers!
Oleg

I am looking to find the top pages based on traffic volume on my competitors websites, does anyone know of any good resources?
I want to know how which pages on my competitors websites are the most popular based on the traffic volume. I do not care how many links or directed to that page or any other metric. Only thing I am looking for is the traffic volume. It would also be nice to know the length of time spent on that page.

Good moz rank and trust, terrible page and domain authority
I have this happening both for page and domain. For domain the rank and trust are 5.2 and 5.51 but domain authority is only 48. My competitors with trust and rank between 5.5 and 6 have their domain authority in the 70-80 range. The same happens for home page metrics and the metrics are about the same. What can cause this authority discrepancy?

Looking for a recommendation for a site ranking comparison tool.
Hi, It seems that SEOMOZ provides only link ranking comparison with competators. I'm not conviced that this is valuable for my purposes as the comeption often has few links tool, probably the nature of the business.. First, is it worth trying to compare keyword ranking with competators? I think it is, but I'm not that experienced with SEO, especially with Wordpress/Buddpress sites. Second, any recommenations for a tool that will make this easier? Larry

Sites With Duplicate Content Ranking Way Higher
The site I am writing about is easendtorontohomes.com I don't get it. I see that some of my competitors have more inbound links and have been around longer. Their SEOmoz trust etc is also higher. But I don't get how many could possibly be ranking higher since they're sites are all template based site via Web Tech Design and the content is duplicated from one to the other. The other weird thing is that they do everything wrong - they stuff their keywords tag, some of them use the same keywords/meta data on every single page, some of them don't even have meta tags, some of them don't even have a blog with ANY original content. Apart from listings EastEndTorontoHomes.com has TONS of original, well-researched, and keyword rich content. I just don't get it. Is it possible that google has some sort of relationship with that company? Or am I totally missing something? Some of these sites include: tinasmith.ca, mikeclarke.com, teamkassen.com

Should I link to this site or is it too spammy?
Hi all, I've been asked if I want to exchange links with http://www.myteetimesonline.com/ and I'm tempted but fearful that its link profile looks spammy. What do you guys think? I'm basically starting from scratch with my own site http://www.golfgear4you.com and have a Page Rank 0 and Domain authority 32. The guys that want to link to me are Page Rank 3 but Domain authority 35. Their content would be of interest to my site's users and vice versa but my biggest concern is their link profile looks awful because the sites that link to them don't appear to be very relevant. I've done a lot of reading on this and have found the resources on this site to be a goldmine. The generally message is avoid easy links to spammy sites because they could hurt credibility. I just want to check I've actually learnt something and my instincts about this site are correct. i.e leave it alone!! Thanks, Andy

Can't Grasp Why Pages rank Higher?
The first result "Bankruptcy on IRS" is the search term. Why does the first url rank higher in google. The second one, the IRS.gov page beats them in PA, DA root domains links. The title meta has bankruptcy near the front. unclefed does have the IRS keyword in the title, but an I missing something here? What are the other factors, that are most obvious. Sure one can have bad links, and other negative criteria, but these are pretty decent sites that probably don't engage in much in seo, let alone bad SEO. Sure link text and mix of links can help, but am I missing something here? Actually what I think I really need IS A CHECKLIST OF WHAT TO CHECK IN WHAT ORDER WHEN COMPARING WHY ONE PAGE RANKS BETTER THAN ANOTHER. Appreciate all discussions. Thanks in advance. http://www.unclefed.com/AuthorsRow/Daily/Fwdcsea.html http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98701,00.html
