Hi
It has been about 3 weeks now, and it hasn't come back up.
Any one has any ideas? am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

7 days is still a short amount of time in Google Time. It took us about 2-3 weeks to see a noticeable change, so I wouldn't give up just yet. The only problem with trying something new is you won't ever know exactly what it was.
Have you done a crawl test on the website? http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test
Step 2 may be to try removing or asking for a no follow on links from lower domain authorities like http://the1.co.uk

Thanks for your reply, I made the changes you recommended 7 days ago but still not improvement !!

If it has only been a few days, I would not worry about it too much.
I remember reading a MozCast article showing that domains with specific keywords in them, such as weddingfavours, may not be performing well under recent algorithm changes. It may be something to look into.

We had this happen to 4 sites recently, where the canonical tags had been tampered with during a content management update.
Best Guess:
Looks like there is no canonical tag on http://caesarsweddingfavours.co.uk/Home telling Google that it is pulling this page from http://caesarsweddingfavours.co.uk. You have a proper redirect from www./caesarsweddingfavours.co.uk to /caesarsweddingfavours.co.uk, but no canonical tag on http://caesarsweddingfavours.co.uk/Home, making it look like duplicated content.

Inserting Keywords in Web Pages
Hello! Question: When I add chosen keywords to my site (in urls, title tags, meta description, page content, headers, etc), do I need to put the words on my webpage exactly as they appear in my keyword research? So if I searched "therapist bay area" and I want to include these keywords, for example, must I use those words in that order in a sentence or header on my homepage? Or is it enough to include each word somewhere on the page?

There is a copy of our website that is ranking. How can I let Google know our website is the authentic site?
I just found another copy of my old website and have no way to take it down. Unfortunately, it's ranking so he didn't place it as a nofollow. (My boss hired someone to redevelop our website before I came on board and never finished the project). So, could this be hurting us? I tried to look to see if we were being penalized and couldn't find that we were. Also, ever since we migrated to a new domain name, our ranking is tumbling. I've redirected properly and tested to make sure they're resolving correctly and they are. I have no idea what is going on. We've virtually lost all ranking. Any help would be much appreciated.

Keyword stuffing as per the on-page grader
Hi Moz Community, I've recently become a Moz Pro user and I very impressed with the insights that it has to offer. However, I have been using the on-page grader to evaluate this page and it suggests that I am using the keyword "kiln dried logs" too many times and not to use more than 15 times. I have a slight dilemma because my product titles all contain this keyword and I wanted to get somebody's take on where the "15 repetitions" comes from and if it is better for me to strip this keyword out of my product titles to fall within the guidelines? Should I optimize just my main category page for this keyword at the expense of potentially losing traffic for my product pages? Any input would be much appreciated.

How could I avoid the "Duplicate Page Content" issue on the search result pages of a webshop site?
My webshop site was just crawled by Roger, and it found 683 "Duplicate Page Content" issues. Most of them are result pages of different product searches, that are not really identical, but very similar to each other. Do I have to worry about this? If yes, how could I make the search result pages different? IS there any solution for this? Thanks: Zoltan
