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!

Thank you for your prompt reply
Up till now, we never paid any attention to our rankings for certain keywords.
We recently noticed that our sales dropped and we decided to have a closer look to understand what's happening. That's how we found out about our page ranking. I did some tests on Rank Tracker and noticed we have to work on our ranking for certain keywords, because we're not in the top 50.

PageRank is rarely updated for public these days. If your redirect is set properly all your PR should show in the next toolbar PR update. If it still shows 0 then there are two possibilities: a) links that gave you pagerank don't exist anymore or don't have pagerank themselves b) penalty. Both are quite unlikely. I recommend you don't obsess too much over this and one day you will be pleasantly surprised with a bit of green. Keep in mind that will be only a historical record of PR when Google last took the snapshot.

It may be a temp problem. How did you redirect them, did you use a 301 redirect. if not youy need to.
If you did the link juice will flow though with losing only a small amount because of the redirect.
The published page rank is only updated every 6 months or so, and is pretty much useless as a metric, what is more impoartant is your rankings, have they changed?

Wrong pages ranking for specific keywords
Hi moz community We're currently experiencing a lot of our pages ranking for the wrong keyword in the SERPS. Take "womens ski wear" for example, the page rainking via Google links to https://www.dare2b.com/womens/jackets-coats/ When we have an optimized page here https://www.dare2b.com/womens/shop-by/activity/ski/ that imo is more suitable and has the correct H1, meta tile etc. So I'm at a loss to see why google see the jackets page more relevant? Any help on this much appreciated

Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?
I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following: Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated. 2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages? 3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog. 4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this? Thanks for your help 🙂 Regards Nadia
