What about this (google crawl)?
-
Recently we did a serious effort on SEO with SEO Yoast (Wordpress). And after a few months of tweaking old articles we get this impact on crawl search.. Is this graph normal?
-
Exactly this! Thanks Dan for jumping in and finishing this thread! (My hero!)

Yes that is correct. And yes you already have "noindex subpages of archives".
Yes I have a very extensive article on Moz here: http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
I did I Mozinar here about wordpress: http://moz.com/webinars/hands-on-answers-to-the-most-asked-wordpress-qestions
I have a comparison of Yoast vs All In One here: http://www.evolvingseo.com/2014/02/14/all-in-one-vs-yoast-seo-test-drive/
-
So, no index tags, categories & notatie?
And about 'noindex subpages of archives' - do we haven't already checked that box (look at the second print screen)? You have some other tips for Yoast?
-
You should definitely "noindex tags (that is what Matt was talking about to some extent).
I would also "noindex subpages of archives" in your Yoast settings as well.
Webmaster Tools and Google might not always react right away to certain site changes, which might be why you are seeing a delay.

Hello
I don't get it. I had SEO Yoast for months and no problems till 2 weeks ago (graph). I even didn't change some settings. I just add structured data in webmaster tools.
This are my settings in SEO Yoast.
-
You activated duplicate content. It looks like two ways:
http://www.noodweer.be/tag/wolken/
and
http://www.noodweer.be/category/website/
So you have tags and categories unblocked. I am going to guess you recently installed Yoast Wordpress SEO? It's not setup correctly so Google is crawling a LOT more content than they used to. Go through all settings, make sure you've got it setup properly and should go back to normal.

The website we talk about it: http://www.noodweer.be. And what do u mean with unblock duplicated content? We have activated such things or we had duplicated content before and now not anymore?
-
Looks like you unblocked some duplicate content maybe? Tags, date archives, categories? That would be my best guess. Without knowing the domain, it's hard to even look further than that, though.

Have we been penalised by Google?
Hello guys, Looking for some help here hope someone will be able to point us to the right direction, we have been scratching our heads for months! Basically our Google rankings and organic traffic from Google have dropped signficantly in the last 12 months. At one point we ranked as high as page 3 with the term "holiday lettings". Now we are on page 16, and sometimes not found at all... This has been the case for months now. Curiously, Bing and Yahoo have been much more generous to us, we have been and still consistently rank at No. 2 with the same term. We are in the vacation rental industry - our website is www.alphaholidaylettings.com and most of the sites that rank above us are of much less relevancy, quality and authority. We just could not understand why we would rank so poorly on Google (both US and UK). Organic traffic has also dropped by more than 50% steadily in the last 12 months. One thing we thought might have affected our site is the quality of content. Most content/listings on our site are user generated, and it is not uncommon for users to copy and paste details from an existing listing that they have on another site. Having said that, the same would apply to our competitors too. In this case, might Panda or Penguin have had any negative effects on our seo? We have been adding unique content to the site in the form of a blog and "Holiday Feature" articles. Could the actual design/structure/coding of our pages contribute to our poor rankings too? Any opinions or feedback is much appreciated! Thanks guys, Tom
