Google May Update
-
As per google the May update takes care of all content scrapping sites
Then why is this site - http://www.viduba.com is still having good ranking ?
All of its videos are hotlinkled from youtube
-
Yes the other sites in SERP are not very competitive , do not have access to semrush logs any more
-
Again, the term "well" is very relative. You can be a relatively bad site, but if the other sites using that term are worse, then you can rank well.
Can you offer some examples for key words that this site ranks in the top 3 for? If not, then choose their best ranking key word from the first page of SERP.
-
I have even checked the site with semrush.com , it does rank well for many kewords
-
Alexa is ranking the site's TRAFFIC. That is an important thing to understand.
I can create a bad, one-page site, advertise it, promote it, and Alexa will still show the site's traffic.
That is much different the organic page ranking. The Google Panda update has to do with how sites appear in SERP. The correlation is, that sites which do better in SERP will do better in Alexa. It is possible for a site to do well in Alexa even if they don't do well in Google.
-
Becasue they have good alexa rank , which is not manipulaed and something I have been monitoring for past 6 months and it has gradually increased
I got interested in the site siince their sister site - http://vidoevo.com/ was autctioned on flippa.com some time back... Even this site has good rankings ...I have been tracking them ever since
-
How did you determine they have "good" ranking?
They have a domain authority of 15, which I wouldn't refer to as good ranking.
-
These updates by Google are applied algorithmically. This means that they are applied based on a set of standards, which should affect as many 'bad' sites as possible, while at the same moment affect as few 'good' sites as possible.
For some reason the website you're mentioning apparently didn't match the algorithmic criteria to get hit by lower rankings (on this series of updates).

Why Google crawl parameter URLs?
Hi SEO Masters, Google is indexing this parameter URLs - 1- xyz.com/f1/f2/page?jewelry_styles=6165-4188-4184-4192-4180-6109-4191-6110&mode=li_23&p=2&filterable_stone_shapes=4114 2- xyz.com/f1/f2/page?jewelry_styles=6165-4188-4184-4192-4180-4169-4195&mode=li_23&p=2&filterable_stone_shapes=4115&filterable_metal_types=4163 I have handled by Google parameter like this - jewelry_styles= Narrows Let Googlebot decide mode= None Representative URL p= Paginates Let Googlebot decide filterable_stone_shapes= Narrows Let Googlebot decide filterable_metal_types= Narrows Let Googlebot decide and Canonical for both pages - xyz.com/f1/f2/page?p=2 So can you suggest me why Google indexed all related pages with this - xyz.com/f1/f2/page?p=2 But I have no issue with first page - xyz.com/f1/f2/page (with any parameter). Cononical of first page is working perfectly. Thanks

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

Updating Old Content - Should I update In Search Console?
Hey Mozzers If I'm updating old content on a site (for example adding some copy and adding some new links in the page) - Is it important to get Google to recrawl with the feature in webmaster tools? If you didn't do this, could you be waiting a long time for google to recrawl the URL? Cheers!

How does Google view duplicate photo content?
Now that we can search by image on Google and see every site that is using the same photo, I assume that Google is going to use this as a signal for ranking as well. Is that already happening? I ask because I have sold many photos over the years with first-use only rights, where I retain the copyright. So I have photos on my site that I own the copyright for that are on other sites (and were there first). I am not sure if I should make an effort to remove these photos from my site or if I can wait another couple years.
