My website was not available during 12 hours and i think that i will lose ranking by that.
What do you think about it? Will i lose rankings?
Some URL were lost during the drop of server, what should i do? Create again? Delete on GWT?
Thanks so much.

As Matt Cutts says in the video Prestashop links to, a short period of downtime should not hurt at all. Google understands that short outages happen fairly regularly. If you know that the site is going to be down for longer, try to serve a 503 server status, indicating that the site is "unavailable" rather than "not found" (404) or "gone" (410).
Some URL were lost during the drop of server, what should i do? Create again? Delete on GWT?
What exactly do you mean by this? That the rankings were lost or the files were deleted? If the files were deleted but you want those pages back, re-create the files and upload them again to the same location they lived in before, i.e. re-creating the same URLs. If you mean that some URLs lost their rankings but that the files / URLs still exist, you will need to wait a little while to see if their rankings come back. I expect that they will: a 12 hour downtime should not hurt you permanently.

The problem is beyond the site being unavailable for 12 hours. That is a small issue. YOu are stating that you lost URL's during this time, how? If the url was a ranked page, it won't rank if it doesn't exist.

When will all of Google Maps be the same again?
As many of you are aware that the pigeon update was only applied to the new Google maps resulting in very different search results for Google local business. When you search for a business on old Google maps then you get totally different results vs the new Google maps. Some businesses totally disappeared completely from the search results. I have done my research and found out that it's because the new Algo was only applied to the new maps. Also new algo does not apply to other countries. Well the reason I posted this topic is because I have noticed that all the new Google Business listings I am verifying for my clients are all being put under the old Google maps and not the new ones. They come up fine when searching from old maps but not the new ones. I understand Google has not rolled out the pigeon on all data centers but why? Will Google eventually roll out the update to old maps? Since Google is adding businesses to old google maps then what's the point of even adding new listings?

Removing indexed website
I had a .in TLD version of my .com website floated for about 15 days, which was a duplicate copy of .com website. I did not wish to use the .in further for SEO duplication reasons and had let the .in domain expire on 26th April. But still now when I search from my website the .in version also shows up in results and even in google webmaster it shows the the website with maximum (190) number of links to my .com website. I am sure this is hurting the ranking of my .com website. How can the .in website be removed from googles indexing and search results. Given that is has expired also. thanks

# in url affecting rank
Hi I am building links to a page www.companyname.com/category.index.php There is also another similar url www.companyname.com/category.index.php#. This page is linked to from the non # page. This is a new client and I'm not entirely sure why that link is there. Am I correct in thinking that these two urls are different in the eyes of the search engines? If so, would some of the link juice to www.companyname.com/category.index.php be transferred to www.companyname.com/category.index.php# and affect the ranking of the non # page? I hope this makes sense! Thanks

Transfer of website to maintain SEO
I am nearly finished building a new wordpress website to replace the old static HTML site which is currently doing very well in SERPs. My old site is currently hosted by a company who owns the site, my domain is registered with a different company and I have the nameservers pointed at Cloudflare. I have built my new site and have it hosted with a different company and I wish to keep the domain name registered with the company it is currently with.Is there an order that I should follow to move from the old site to the new site using my current domain name so that I minimize any impact on SEO. I built the new site with the same URL structure to maintain linking benefit. thanks

If I point a domain name to a new faster server, will I lose some keyword ranking?
I'm redesigning a client's site, breaking up content into separate pages and moving the site to a managed server keeping the same domain name. Will I lose any link juice or keyword ranking for site even if I 301 redirect the old pages to the new titled pages?
