Domain position on site:domain.com search
-
Hi,
After the last week Google algotithm update, my web site index appears on 4th position when I search for site:www.domain.com
If I make a simple search for domain or domain.com it ranks on first position.
Is this a sign of a penalty ? What would be the cause ?
Thanks

Yes, there were some changes in rankings after the algorithm update. I lost ~10-20 positions ( I mean from position 3-4 to 23-24 ) for some keywords, for others just 1-2 positions ( from 1st place to 2nd, or from 1st place to 3rd ) .
No, the pages above do not have a greater link popularity.
-
I've tried to see if I can replicate it with any of my sites, but both the www and non-www site: searches always return the homepage.
Has there been any changes in ranking or traffic/keywords sending you visitors? (Or basically, why is it that this worries you :D)
Do the subpages showing above your homepage have a greater link popularity? Been building deep links or are they popular content?
-
Your root domain may have been penalized, but you could probably get a better idea if you could look at the traffic or keywords that your domain ranked for before the update. I know this sounds stupid, but make sure your results aren't being personalized. Googles really been skewing all of my results with that lately, and doesn't let me disable it.

I'm searching for site:www.domain.com . domain.com redirects to www.domain.com
When I do the search it returns 3 internal pages, on 4th position www.domain.com, then the rest the internal pages.
Before the update, the index page was the first in the results list

Are you searching site:domain.com with no www? I'd say that's not good if it's other competitiors, and not other pages of your site. Which one does your domain redirect to, and did it do this before the update?

Keyword Domain URL structure
Hello all, We have a domain with one of the primary keyword within the domain itself (audisite) and reading through some of the topics, having a keyword within the domain itself seems to be not as significant as we had assumed. We currently have a URL strucuture ( http://audisite.co.uk/new-audi/a4 ) which we were thinking of modifying to something like audisite.co.uk/a4 based on the premise that the 'audi' keyword is already in the domain itself. Also in terms of URL optimization, which of these will be the most effective URL (if the content is exactly the same). Or is my whole approach incorrect to URL optimization fundamentally incorrect? /a4 /new-audi-a4 /new/audi-a4 /new-audi/a4 /new/audi/a4 I will be very grateful for any advice/suggestions/pointers. Thank you very much for your time.

Safe to link to another site you own?
Hi mozzers, I have some external links on a resource page on my established site. I have a new site in the same niche with content that if linked to, would improve the resource page. If I linked to it using branded anchor text, would it be safe? My thoughts are yes...as long as it adds value and isnt keyword anchored. The sites are on different C class IPs Would welcome some thoughts Peter

Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one

page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa
63) where I can create area links to each of my area pages if I
wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0 -
Linking domains on same ip
I don't know if i can post a link in the question so if you google 800 appliance and do a little reaserch on them you will see that it has many links with same content linking to the main domain and to each other. They hosted on the same ip which from what i read doesn't supposed to help in ranking. I saw many nich websites like this with the same idea. What am i missing here...?
