on page SEO is overdone
<title>**Asia** Travel, **Asia** Flights, **Asia** Hotels, **Asia** Airlines at **Asia**.comtitle> <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">**asia** maps, airlines to **asia**, flights to **asia**, hotels from **asia**, travel to **asia**, **asia**.com, hotels,airlines, airways</a>" /> One instance only of Asia in the title tag, lose the meta keywords completely they are useless and yours are spammy. also look at the sitewide linking. Way too many instances of "flights" in this menu. Put flights at the top of the menu and then just the locations below without "flights" in ever single link
<a class="attribute-value">Asia.com</a>">Bangladesh Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/China" >China Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Hong-Kong" >Hong Kong Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/India" >India Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Indonesia" >Indonesia Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Japan" >Japan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Nepal" >Nepal Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Pakistan" >Pakistan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Philippines" >Philippines Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Singapore" >Singapore Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/South-Korea" >South Korea Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Sri-Lanka" >Sri Lanka Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Taiwan" >Taiwan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Thailand" >Thailand Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Vietnam" >Vietnam Flightsa> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>"> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>"> <b>Chinab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Beijing" >Flights to Beijinga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Guangzhou" >Flights to Guangzhoua> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hong-Kong" >Flights to Hong Konga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Taipei" >Flights to Taipeia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tianjin" >Flights to Tianjina> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shanghai" >Flights to Shanghaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shenyang" >Flights to Shenyanga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Wuhan" >Flights to Wuhana> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>" > <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Indiab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Bangalore" >Flights to Bangalorea> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Calcutta" >Flights to Calcuttaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Chennai" >Flights to Chennaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/New-Delhi" >Flights to New Delhia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Goa" >Flights to Goaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hyderabad" >Flights to Hyderabada> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Mumbai" >Flights to Mumbaia> span> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Japanb> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Osaka" >Flights to Osakaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tokyo" >Flights to Tokyoa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Yokohama" >Flights to Yokohamaa>

Hi Michael Do you think you could expand on your question at all? What are the subdomain problems you indicated? What do you want to rank for? How do you rank at present? If you could flesh your question out I am sure you will receive some good advice for making improvements. Marcus

Puzzling Penalty Question - Need Expert Help
I'm turning to the Moz Community because we're completely stumped. I actually work at a digital agency, our specialism being SEO. We've dealt with Google penalties before and have always found it fairly easy to identify the source the problem when someone comes to us with a sudden keyword/traffic drop. I'll briefly outline what we've experienced: We took on a client looking for SEO a few months ago. They had an OK site, with a small but high quality and natural link profile, but very little organic visibility. The client is an IT consultancy based in London, so there's a lot of competition for their keywords. All technical issues on the site were addressed, pages were carefully keyword targeted (obviously not in a spammy way) and on-site content, such as services pages, which were quite thin, were enriched with more user focused content. Interesting, shareable content was starting to be created and some basic outreach work had started. Things were starting to pick up. The site started showing and growing for some very relevant keywords in Google, a good range and at different levels (mostly sitting around page 3-4) depending on competition. Local keywords, particularly, were doing well, with a good number sitting on page 1-2. The keywords were starting to deliver a gentle stream of relevant traffic and user behaviour on-site looked good. Then, as of the 28th September 2015, it all went wrong. Our client's site virtually dropped from existence as far as Google was concerned. They literally lost all of their keywords. Our client even dropped hundreds of places for their own brand name. They also lost all rankings for super low competition, non-business terms they were ranking for. So, there's the problem. The keywords have not shown any sign of recovery at all yet and we're, understandably, panicking. The worst thing is that we can't identify what has caused this catastrophic drop. It looks like a Google penalty, but there's nothing we can find that would cause it. There are no messages or warnings in GWT. The link profile is small but high quality. When we started the content was a bit on the thin side, but this doesn't really look like a Panda penalty, and seems far too severe. The site is technically sound. There is no duplicate content issues or plaigarised content. The site is being indexed fine. Moz gives the site a spam score of 1 (our of 11 (i think that's right)). The site is on an ok server, which hasn't been blacklisted or anything. We've tried everything we can to identify a problem. And that's where you guys come in. Any ideas? Anyone seen anything similar around the same time? Unfortunately, we can't share our clients' site's name/URL, but feel free to ask any questions you want and we'll do our best to provide info.

Please help explain this (Question about search results)
What's up SEO's, I'm new the SEO world and had a quick question. I just installed the MOZBAR and did a google search: "What is Google Voice" I attached an image of the results I received. Can someone explain how MacWorld's article outranked Google's when both Google's Page Authority and Domain Authority are so much stronger than MacWorlds. This is in addition to google having many more links. This is basic, but any insight will be very helpful. Thanks guys!

Dumb International SEO question?
Buongiorno from 18 degrees C Wetherby UK... Client asks - "My swedish site is http://www2.kingspanpanels.se/ how important is having the swedish suffix in the url with regards to rankings in Sweden?" I find these questions really challenging, its like the Hey if i change this url my SEO problems will be fixed, as if its that easy. So my question is - "How weighted is the url suffix / ccTLD in terms of SEO success for a territory / country" Put another way "If the swedish suffix .se was removed would it impact rankings in any way in Sweden?" Grazie tanto,

To link or redirect? That is the question.
I have a site that I don't really use any longer but still has some okay rankings. I'd like to take advantage of the links point to that site. Is it better to redirect that site to my new one or to just place a link on the homepage pointing to my new site?

External Linking Best Practices Question
Is it frowned upon to use basic anchor text such as "click here" within a blog article when linking externally? I understand, ideally, you want to provide a descriptive anchor text, especially linking internally, but can it negatively affect your own website if you don't use a descriptive anchor text when linking externally?

Algorithm Question
Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my site and a competitors site literally trade places in the SERPS every week? My site has a boatload of content with an active blog with a lot of links versus a competitor that has virtually no links, limited content, 404 errors on the site. The links I have are all natural links with the exception of directories like JoeAnt. The only thing their site has is Domain Age where as mines is 4 months old. Any insight?
