Followed seomoz advice for on page tweaks but dropped
-
Hi all
We followed seomoz advice regarding on-page tweaks for this page:
http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/agency-agreement.html
Dropped 10 places by Google UK.
Obviously could be a coincidence, but any on-page critique very gladly received.
(But also seem to have been dropped by Google across the board in the past week or so. Usual trouble of trying to find causes. But specific page advice would be a start and much appreciated.)
Regards

Anytime, feel free to add me to skype and twitter to ask for help if you need any!
Also feel free to mark my answer down as a "good answer"

Thanks again.
Very helpful

Yeah, use SEOMoz's very own Open Site Explorer. If you need help figuring it all out add me to Skype (Matt.GlassApple).
Try not to copy a competitors link profile though. While you may find a few useful places to get a link from by looking at competitors pages, they too might be using underhanded tactics.
-
Thanks for the advice.
We are going to delete them and work on external links.
Apologies for asking, but is there a way to find which sites link to a competitor website particular page?
For example which sites link direct to: www.our-competitor.com/agency-agreement.html
Hope that makes some sense.
Thanks again

Get rid of these sites or do something useful with them. These site-wide links will be hurting you and Google will easily be able to see that you own the domain.
If you must keep them, add a blog or something to them, get some unique content on them. Invite others to guest post and link to other places other than your own website. Make the page look natural. Only link back to your site every now and then, if at all.
-
You have no incoming links at all for that page from any external websites. Build some links up, make sure they are natural. If you ranked for this term before now then it was due to general site strength before the Penguin update. Obviously since the update you will have lost lots of shoddy links therefore dropped in domain authority - this looks like it is having an adverse effect on subsequent pages that seemed only to rank because the domain was strong.
-
Possible site-wide drop may be partly due to these specific domains that we own that point to our site. Found at the bottom of Open Site Explorer.
We have been told that Penguin update does not like these. All have very low domain authority.
Hmm...just found we also own "agency-agreements.co.uk"

Hi

Static content pages ranking dropping all the time
Hello all. I have been working three months in my current job in the hotel industry. I have been publishing a lot of content to our website (mainly articles), which in general have been ranking well and really boosted our website traffic. The problem that I am facing, though, is the fact that our static pages' rankings are basically constantly dropping. Especially one of our main pages, which is this hotel page. I haven't been doing any real changes to the content, but the ranking (with keywords "hotelli helsinki" [Hotel in Helsinki in Finnish]) has plummeted from 13th position all the way down to 19th... What has been happening during these last three months is that we did change to a new domain and we have done all the redirections and also informed Google about this change through search console. I have also done some minor changes to the on-page content, such as changing the meta titles and descriptions as well as the page title and some of the text content to more natural ones instead of clumsy SEO texts and optimizing the images. This hasn't helped at all though and the rankings seem to steadily drop all the time. What would YOU do with this page? Maybe add more text content to the page to be more informative? All tips would be highly appreciated.

Too Many On-Page Links Reported By SEOmoz
Hi, I recently did run a crawl report for my blog dapazze.com, and found that SEOmoz is reporting many pages on my blog having more than 100 internal links. I opened OSE, and made a search for one of my pages which was reported to contain more than 100 links. And I found it to contain 464 internal links. Here is the link: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=dapazze.com%2F2012%2F10%2Fwin-a-commentluv-premium-single-site-and-multi-site-license-worth-about-154-giveaway-of-october%2F&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=internal&target=page&group=0 Please have a look at it. I have chosen - Show "All" links from "only internal" pages to "this page" option in OSE, which reports me this. I see almost every page in my blog linking to every page. This is not the problem for me. I have also tried to make a search for some popular bloggers, like ProBlogger.net, ShoutMeLoud.com, HellBoundBloggers.com, etc, and all of them have the same problem. Should I be worrying about this problem? What is the problem actually?

Break-up content into individual pages or keep on one page
I am working on a dental website. Under menu item "services" lists everything he does like.. Athletic Sports Guards

Nitrous oxide for your Comfort Would it be better to break these services up into individual pages? I was thinking I would because then I could add more pictures and expand on the topic and try to get an "A" grade on each page. I'm not sure how I could rank a page if I have 35 services listed on the page. That would be an awfully big H1! Suggestions?0 -

Redirect and page ranking
We used to have a good page rank of Google, but now our page rank dropped to zero. A few months ago we did a redirect from our www.???.com to non-www.???.com, because non-www.???.com is now our main website. We also have a number of other domains which we redirect to our main website non-www.???.com Do you think these redirects are causing the problem, and if so what can we do to fix it? Thanks!
