    For few weeks ago my website is constantly decreasing in search position. I lost keywords and is gooooing down.
    Although it is well rated on several on page and off page seo verification software that I have tried.
    I checked Google search console and Analytics and found no major problems. However… from one day to another it keeps going down.
    I also checked what the main competitors are doing and they are not doing well, at all.
    The main competitor actually has a creepy website. Totally devoid of onpage or offpage SEO but with an enormous number of backlinks. And of a very bad quality, which should disqualify it, still…
    Few weeks ago I changed something.
    In the pages I had H1, 4xH2, no H3 and an H4 without content.
    An unnatural H tag structure.
    Now I have H1, H2, H3, 3xH4, with the coherent information.
    Theoretically, Google should have been “happy” or I’m missing something.

    I use a SAAS platform.
    I just found out that they made changes to the keywords (tags).
    I am selling toner cartridges for printers.
    So…
    The tags are printer models and generate a url in which they have the products.
    Ex. https://www.sertit.ro/cartus-imprimanta-cilindru-color-hp-laserjet-pro-m-177fw goes to the products for that printer model.
    The question is… should I make tag canonical?
    Is it possible for products to loose so much in Google search?

          @Sam-1983

          I did all the checks, it doesn't reach 100% but between 82-96% at technical and content.
          Social media still working on it, with some ads, backlinks are around 100k, with good DA and PA and growing.

          I have another suspicion...
          I sell consumables for printers.
          Until now, the products were individual.
          In January, i made a change to the products and grouped them by printer models. Example: All products for Konica Minolta Bizhub C224 are in this url wich is created by tag (tag is printer model).
          They contain both toner cartridges and developer or drum units (which are also individual products, of course).
          All individual products have decreased by position in google searches.
          Shall I canonically set these tags that contain all the products? Or what ?

            @Dan_Tala I can provide you with some general reasons why a website's traffic may be decreasing and some tips on how to address those issues:

            Technical Issues: Technical issues such as site speed, server errors, broken links, mobile responsiveness, etc., can lead to poor user experience and reduced traffic. To address these issues, you can run a website audit using tools like Google Search Console or SEMrush to identify and fix technical issues.

            Content Quality: Poor-quality content or outdated content can also result in lower traffic. To address this issue, update and improve your content with relevant, informative, and engaging content that provides value to your audience. Use keyword research tools to optimize your content for relevant keywords.

            Keyword Rankings: If your website's keyword rankings have dropped, it could be due to algorithm updates, competition, or changes in user behavior. To address this issue, conduct a thorough analysis of your keyword rankings, update your content with relevant keywords, and optimize your on-page elements.

            Backlinks: If your website has lost high-quality backlinks or has been hit by negative SEO, it can impact your search rankings and traffic. To address this issue, conduct a backlink analysis, disavow low-quality or spammy backlinks, and focus on building high-quality backlinks from relevant and authoritative sources.

            Social Media Presence: Social media can be an essential source of traffic for websites. If your website's social media presence is weak, it could be impacting your traffic. To address this issue, create a social media strategy, share engaging content, and engage with your audience on social media platforms.

            These are some general reasons why a website's traffic may be decreasing, and some tips on how to address those issues. It's important to conduct a thorough analysis of your website to identify the specific reasons for the traffic drop and take appropriate actions to address them. If you know more please visit.

              Here are some steps you can take to improve your website loading speed using speed optimization tools:

              Run a website speed test: Use a speed optimization tool such as websitespeedy, Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or Pingdom. This tool can help you assess your website's performance by measuring its speed and suggesting areas for improvement.

              Render blocking: Eliminate render blocking by optimizing your website's code and using asynchronous loading. This can improve website speed and reduce page load times.

              Lazy loading images: Implement lazy loading on your website to load images and other content as users scroll, improving website speed and reducing page load times.

              Fix Core Web Vitals: Core Web Vitals are a set of user-centered metrics that evaluate website performance. Improve your website's Core Web Vitals by optimizing your website's loading speed, layout shift, and interactivity.

              By using speed optimization tools and implementing these steps, you can significantly improve your webpage loading speed, providing a better user experience and potentially increasing your sales.

                Website ranking declined after connecting to CDN

                Hi! We are trying to rank https://windowmart.ca for various local search terms. Our head office is in Edmonton where we try to rank https://windowmart.ca/edmonton-windows-doors/ for such terms as "windows Edmonton", "replacement windows Edmonton", "windows and doors Edmonton" as well as others. The website was the leader in its niche for around 2 years. Then we've got some server related issues, moved to a new server and connected CDN Nitropack that really improved our google speed test results. Recently we noticed that our rankings started to drop. Do you know if Nitropack can negatively effect local SEO rankings? Thank you!

                Do web design footer links of websites you build have value?

                Hi everyone. I am trying to build up DA for my site and create linking opportunities with my clients sites but I am not seeing any link value. I just did a redesign with another firm and we built out www.denbow.com . We have links to our sites in the footer but for some reason it's not being indexed. Can someone help me understand if it is good to put built by a href link in the footer? I've built almost 12 sites in my first 1.5 years of being in business for myself and I thought the links would pass some sort of value. Thanks in advance for the help and education. Regards, Noob Gary

                I have a GoDaddy website and have multiple homepages

                I have GoDaddy website builder and a new website http://ecuadorvisapros.com and I notices through your crawl test that there are 3 home pages http://ecuadorvisapros with a 302 temporary redirect, http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com/ with no redirect and http://www.ecuadorvisapros/home.html.  GoDaddy says there is only one home page.  Is this going to kill my chances of having a successful website and can this be fixed?  Or can it.  I actually went with the SEO version thinking it would be better, but it wants to auto change my settings that I worked so hard at with your sites help. Please keep it simple, I am a novice although I have had websites in the past I know more about the what's than the how's of websites. Thanks,

                Multilingual Website - Sub-domain VS Sub-directory

                Hi Folks - Need your advice on the pros and cons of going with a sub-domain vs a sub-directory approach for a multi lingual website. The best would be a ccTLD but that is not possible now, so I would be more interested in knowing your take on these 2 options. Though, I have gone through http://www.stateofsearch.com/international-multilingual-sites-criteria-to-establish-seo-friendly-structure/ and this somewhat vouches for a sub-directory, but what would you say'?

                Is pointing multiple domains to a single website beneficial for SEO or not?

                A client has purchased many domains with keywords in each. They want to have us point each domain to their site for better SEO.  Is this a good or bad thing to do?

                Struggling to get my lyrics website fully indexed

                Hey guys, been a longtime SEOmoz user, only just getting heavily into SEO now and this is my first query, apologies if it's simple to answer but I have been doing my research! My website is http://www.lyricstatus.com - basically it's a lyrics website. Rightly or wrongly, I'm using Google Custom Search Engine on my website for search, as well as jQuery auto-suggest - please ignore the latter for now. My problem is that when I launched the site I had a complex AJAX Browse page, so Google couldn't see static links to all my pages, thus it only indexed certain pages that did have static links. This led to my searches on my site using the Google CSE being useless as very few pages were indexed. I've since dropped the complex AJAX links and replaced it with easy static links. However, this was a few weeks ago now and still Google won't fully index my site. Try doing a search for "Justin Timberlake" (don't use the auto-suggest, just click the "Search" button) and it's clear that the site still hasn't been fully indexed! I'm really not too sure what else to do, other than wait and hope, which doesn't seem like a very proactive thing to do! My only other suspicion is that Google sees my site as more duplicate content, but surely it must be ok with indexing multiple lyrics sites since there are plenty of different ones ranking in Google. Any help or advice greatly appreciated guys!
