Server update to ipv6, SEO consequences
-
Hi all,
I read the article from 2014 on MOZ regarding ipv6.
https://moz.com/blog/ipv6-cblocks-and-seoOur technical department is about to change our server from ipv4 to ipv6.
Are there any things we have to consider regarding SEO / rankings / duplicate content etc.. with this transition?I hope you have a little spare time to answer this question.
Regards,

As long as all of the URLs stay the same and you aren't building a blog network (a bunch of sites that interlink), I don't think you'd see much of an SEO difference.
I haven't seen anyone complain about that particular issue which is a good sign. If/when you follow through, please comment back and let everyone know your experience!

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply.
I am also curious about our customers who are currently hosting their website on our servers.
We are their online marketing agency.We want them to get more converting visitors.
Therefore we develop optimized websites and make sure the websites are hosted on a fast and reliable servers.
However, if this server is upgraded from IPv:4 to IPv:6, will there be any things we have to consider with this transition regarding SEO?And with SEO, I mean, possible positiondrop of keywords and visitors.
Is there any chance search engines will have to 'reindex the websites' because of the IP transition?And are there any possible technical setbacks, that can make the rating of the server worse (GTMetrix, Google Lighthouse, etc)
I hope any of you can clearify a bit more on this and if this is anything to keep in mind.
If you need more information please let me know.Regards,
Tom -
I think this is more important for hosts and people with multiple websites (for interlinking)... Tom talks about c-blocks in ipv4 addresses which deals with seo hosting and how that changes in ipv6 (gets more vague). As usual, don't be hosted on the same server as a bunch of spam sites.
If you have just the one site, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

SEO Drop
Over the last few months my rank has dropped by around half and for the life of me I can’t see why. There are no warnings on Google Console. Am I missing something? Website: thespacecollective.com

SEO rank down 35%
So I recently switched from an Opencart website to a Magento 2 website and my rank has dropped by 35% two weeks later, this is bad news. My old Magento website was 5 years old and was in desperate need of an upgrade, hence the Magento 2 site. I realised today that the canonical URLs on my stores were set to the individual stores as opposed to one store, thus I expect resulting in duplicate content issues (even though Google Webmaster Tools didn't show it). I'm just wondering if anyone else can see something I may be missing? My sites are: thespacecollective.com (primary) thespacecollective.com/us/ (canonical to primary) Thank you!

Recovery after recent Google update
Hi guys. This is somewhat a continuation for this topic: https://moz.com/community/q/january-2016-massive-rankings-fluctuations After that update, several of our clients and our website as well have experienced high fluctuation rankings period, which ended up in huge drops - 10-20 spots. Which, obviously, made everyone unhappy. Anybody knows what exactly the change was about? What should we fix/take a look at, analyze again? We aren't using any shady techniques or black hat. Everything is honest. All metrics, number of backlinks etc are going up, no major changes have been recently made. Please, help!

Onsite SEO vs Offsite SEO
Hey I know the importance of both onsite & offsite, primarily with regard to outreach/content/social. One thing I am trying to determine at the moment, is how much do I invest in offsite. My current focus is to improve our onpage content on product pages, which is taking some time as we have a small team. But I also know our backlinks need to improve. I'm just struggling on where to spend my time. Finish the onsite stuff by section first, or try to do a bit of both onsite/offsite at the same time?

SEO Landing Page Fail
We have a PPC landing page template that I've used to aggregate blog post collections thematically. http://www.ietravel.com/machu-picchu-travel http://www.ietravel.com/kenya-and-tanzania-safari The hope was that they would start ranking. After 5 months, it has yet to happen.Thought it was a good idea at the time because these pages have a nice prominent call-to-action area. It now occurs to me that the pages are probably under-performing because they are not incorporated into the main site navigation. Do you think that if I move these under their appropriate categories in the main site I'll see some lift? (Of course, I will add 301 redirects as well.) Thanks
