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).

YouTube & Google + Pages
Hello, Has anyone had luck associating their Google + business page with their YouTube channel? Our YouTube page is associated with our Google + profile (and we would like it to be associated with the Google + business page.) There are numerous articles out there that Google is working on an update to allow the Channel/Google+ business page association but I am wondering if there is news we might have missed. Or if there is a way to get around it? We want to implement video on some site pages and would rather use YouTube code as opposed to customizing a solution. Do most folks think Google will have an easy solution once it at arrives? Meaning if you upload videos to your channel that is currently associated with the profile page, do you think there will be a way to convert everything over to a Google + business page once they unveil an update. Thank you!

Drupal Updates = errors
We have worked diligently to correct our SEO Moz crawl diagnostic errors to below 20. However, at least twice now, our coder updates the drupal security warnings and BINGO- every time - our errors go sky high again. Any thoughts?

Google previews meanings
I have noticed that when I do a site:mysite.com search and all my indexed pages come up, that when I hover over the arrows and bring up the previews some of the pages have things in a red rectangle and some of the pages even have zig zag-like tears/perforations running through them. What do these signify?

Google has not been visiting my site
Hi I am working on a site at the moment http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com and i had the site using a different template and in the search engines for the search term cheap flights gatwick we were fourth and for the term holiday magazine we were 12th in google but now we are not even in google on the first page for the search terms. But now after changing the template in joomla our rankings have gone out of the window. It took me about a day to sort out the site with the new template so i was not expecting any problems with the search engines but for some reason there is. If you put into the search engine www.cheapflightsgatwick.com then you will see that google has not visited the site for four days and also it is not showing the description and instead it is showing details about joomla. Can anyone let me know if there is anything i need to do to sort this out and why google is taking so long to visit my site

Google Shopping Australia/Google Merchant Centre
So Google Shopping has finally landed in Australia so we've got some work todo hooking it up to our client ecom sites. Right now we have a handful of clients who are setup, the feed is getting in their ok but all products are sitting in "disapproved" status in the dashboard and clicking into each individual product the status says awaiting review. I logged a support ticket with Google to get some more info on this as it doesn't look right to me (ie the disapproved status in dashboard) and got a useless templated answer. Seems that if I switch the country destination to US the products are approved and live in google.com shopping search within the hour. Switch back to Australia and they go back to disapproved status. Anyone having the same issue/seen this before? I simply don't trust Google support and wondering if there's other factors at play here.
