Is good webhosting and CCL Certificate, improve website Ranking?
-
I am wondering if good web hosting and CCL certificate help website to rank? any Idea!
-
We currently use godaddy hosting and it is pretty awful. Does anyone have a recommendation for a very fast web hosting service?
-
Speed of load and downtime as mentioned above can seriously damage your ranking. We moved host a number of years ago and we have never looked back.
We moved to one of the most expensive hosts but the best up-time and their data centre isn't on a flood plain!!
Their Internet connections are fast and also duplicated to ensure high up-time. Along with power and sites.

Not sure about CCL but good web hosting defiantly impact the SERP rankings. The problem with bad web hosting is the downtime and if Google crawl your website in the downtime, you probably will witness a dip in rankings.
Hope this helps!

I cant answer the about CCL certificate, but web hosting can potentially affect google rankings in the sense of load time.
If your hosting is on poor servers, throtle band width Google does take this into account when ranking websites, as slow websites lead to poor user experience and they want happy user experience.
Website load time is a higher ranking factor on mobile websites, so the slower to load has the potential to rank lower.

There are many things you can do on the page to improve load time (and there are many articles out there), but hosting can play a part.
So in answer to your question a good hosting company can help improve your rankings. CCL certificate I don't know enough about to give you an answer - so I am hoping somebody else can answer that part for you.

Should we reinstate the old website?
In a nut shell we had a great site that performed well and grew month on month but it perhaps looked a bit dated. A decision was taken to build a new site and the job given to a PR agency for some reason. All the titles, H1 tags, page content and url structure was changed and now the site has drop 50% of organic traffic. I've been tasked with trying to rebuild rankings but so far it's not going well. A snapshot of the old website still exists and i'm very tempted to have it reinstated in the hopes that our traffic will recover. What are your thoughts?

Advice on improving ecommerce product detail pages to rank better in google search results.
Hi all, I run an ecommerce website, not a great ranked site, however i want to try and improve the product detail pages. To do this, i am first going to focus on 1 page (this one: http://goo.gl/eS62SU) If i type the product code directly into google.co.uk search i am on the 8th page (see https://www.google.co.uk/#q=hac-hfw2220r-z&start=70) which is a bit poor to say the least. I see this kind of thing for a lot of my products. Hence, i am going to see if over the next month or two i can get this one page moving up the rankings purely with on page optimisation. I would like to ask a couple of things: 1. Is there anything that jumps out at you as to why that product detail page could NOT ever rank well, i.e some code / set up of page etc that prevents google ranking it 2. Any advice you could give that might improve that page in rankings for its product code. FYI - I can not change the dynamic URL, I only have control over such things as product name / summary / features / spec etc any advice welcome

New keyword simply not Ranking
Evening all, first post. I'm currently ranking OK for a broad range of keywords - nothing at number 1 but some are on the first page. However, there is one particular keyword which simply refuses to get indexed. I've witnessed this behaviour before with another site where it appears at SERP 300 or so, then vanishes, comes back at 200 odd and then vanishes. Right now, it's not even ranking in any position. I'm using SERPFox for SERP position on Google. I've had Moz analyse the content on page and it's getting an A. The article is about 2000 words, with good Title and page description and the keyword is appearing under 1%. My question is, have you witnessed odd behaviour like this before where other keywords are ranking OK but an odd few don't even get indexed? I have a few links built to the URL and asked Google Webmaster tools to index the URL but still nothing. I have no penalties or anything to worry about. The only other info I have is that this URL is on a brand-new domain but the previous domain has a 301 redirect with a page authority of 42 and a domain authority of 38 (not too high). And, everything else appears to be running along OK. The point is, I have no expectations about the keyword ranking in a certain position but find it odd how the keyword keeps popping in and out of Google SERP. The keyword has a difficulty of: 58% Any thoughts appreciated. Robert. uH7vtbh

UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk
Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks
