Baffled why my site is not improving in rankings.
-
Site shows up in the Map results when ever Google shows them. But for all other organic terms site ranks way back.
Have lots of unique content and one page grade of an A.
The site is http://alexpadillabailbonds.com
The main page is optimized for "sacramento bail bonds" with a Moz grade of A yet its not included in the search results. It was before.
Any insight from any one will greatly help.
Thanks.

Endorsed Answers: 4">- Andrey Zolnikov I will start with some information and then help with a solution but i got a few questions for you
When you SEO a site there is a few things to look at never trust one site for your results moz.com is the best in my opinion but Alexa is great as well. New Domains are put in something call Sandbox stage(now google will say they don't) but it is use so that you cant just buy a name and word stuff and link build it up too fast.
So lets start with what i see <a class="attribute-value">Sacramento Bail Bonds - Arrested? Contact 24 hour bail bonds in Sacramento CA and get out of Sacramento jail now. Call (916) 558-6900 for bail now.</a> Remove the (in, and, get, of) dont use conjunctions if you can avoid them.
Also you need to thicken your content. Look over your ALT imgs tags make sure they are all different.
-How old is the site?-How many links do you pay for IE (BBB-yellow pages)

I hope you take this as constructive instead of taking this personally, but your page is not doing anything well in regards to onsite or offsite SEO.
Here is just a small taste of what is wrong with your website:
-
You are keyword stuffing like a crazy person. You mention bail bonds 2 dozen times on your home page alone when I stopped counting.
-
You have no in bound links to speak of. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains?site=alexpadillabailbonds.com
-
Your site load time is terrible. I stopped measuring after 45 seconds.
-
None of your blog posts are indexed in Google (I couldn't check it because your website was down).
Here is a good list of ranking factors.

Good luck! You have a lot of work to do.

SERP Ranking
Hi everyone, I'm struggling to figure out why our website has dramatically changed and is ranking far worse than ever. We were top for around 10 keywords, and had over 4 high traffic keywords in position 1. I think the website needs updating (as it's magento 1.7), and that the competition is increasing. Taking our eye off the ball has been a huge mistake. Could anyone advise on what the next steps would be to start increasing to a better serp rank? These two are own main ranking pages:

Old site penalised, we moved: Shall we cut loose from the old site. It's curently 301 to new site.
Hi, We had a site with many bad links pointing to it (.co.uk). It was knocked from the SERPS. We tried to manually ask webmasters to remove links.Then submitted a Disavow and a recon request. We have since moved the site to a new URL (.com) about a year ago. As the company needed it's customer to find them still. We 301 redirected the .co.uk to the .com There are still lots of bad links pointing to the .co.uk. The questions are: #1 Do we stop the 301 redirect from .co.uk to .com now? The .co.uk is not showing in the rankings. We could have a basic holding page on the .co.uk with 'we have moved' (No link). Or just switch it off. #2 If we keep the .co.uk 301 to the .com, shall we upload disavow to .com webmasters tools or .co.uk webmasters tools. I ask this because someone else had uploaded the .co.uk's disavow list of spam links to the .com webmasters tools. Is this bad? Thanks in advance for any advise or insight!

Want to merge high ranking niche websites into a new mega site, but don't want to lose authority from old top level pages
I have a few older websites that SERP well, and I am considering merging some or all of them into a new related website that I will be launching regardless. My old websites display real estate listings and not much else. Each website is devoted to showing homes for sale in a specific neighborhood. The domains are all in the form of Neighborhood1CityHomes.com, Neighborhood2CityHomes.com, etc. These sites SERP well for searches like "Neighborhood1 City homes for sale" and also "Neighborhood1 City real estate" where some or all of the query is in the domain name. Google simply points to the top of the domain although each site has a few interior pages that are rarely used. There is next to zero backlinking to the old domains, but each links to the other with anchor text like "Neighborhood1 Cityname real estate". That's pretty much the extent of the link profile. The new website will be a more comprehensive search portal where many neighborhoods and cities can be searched. The domain name is a nonsense word .com not related to actual key words. The structure will be like newdomain.com/cityname/neighborhood-name/ where the neighborhood real estate listings are that would replace the old websites, and I'd 301 the old sites to the appropriate internal directories of the new site. The content on the old websites is all on the home page of each, at least the content for searches that matter to me and rank well, and I read an article suggesting that Google assigns additional authority for top level pages (can I link to that here?). I'd be 301-ing each old domain from a top level to a 3rd level interior page like www. newdomain/cityname/neighborhood1/. The new site is better than the old sites by a wide margin, especially on mobile, but I don't want to lose all my top positions for some tough phrases. I'm not running analytics on the old sites in question, but each of the old sites has extensive past history with AdWords (which I don't run any more). So in theory Google knows these old sites are good quality.

Our site has been penalized and it's proving to be very hard to get our rankings back...
So I have a question. We have used nearly every trick in the book to rank our site, including a ton of white hat stuff.... but then also a lot of black hat practices that resulted in us dropping in the rankings by about 30-40 positions. And getting back to where we were (top 10 for most keywords) is proving to be nearly impossible. We have a ton of great content coming off of the site and we actually offer a quality product. We follow most of the guidelines advocated here on SEOmoz. But the black hat stuff we did has really taken a toll. And it's gonna be pretty much impossible to go back in time and erase all of the Black Hat stuff we did. So what should we do? Should we design a completely new website with a new domain? What can be done to help?
