What can be done to help my website rank again on google ?

Question

Simply put we used to on page one for keywords like counterfeit detector andre lated searches. Now we show up nowhere. Our site Is itestcash.com

The site recently moved to a new webhost and I spent the post two days removing over 100 links that were from the old website as well as 301 directing potential backlinks to the new websites links. The domain name is the same but the other links have changed names.

I am also spending time trying to remove many of our old web directory backlinks as we had SEO people work on our site back in 2007-2008 so I wonder if google hit our site. I am also using the disavow tool. We do appear to be indexed on google though and haven't recieved any warnings.

Also can we are hosted now on Shopify if that makes a difference.

I am working on trying to get new quality backlinks too as well updating the blog regularly.

Can anyone give some ideas on what to focus on to get the site ranking on google again? Is it possible our keywords could get back in good standing.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I'm not completely clear if you started updating the site SEO before or after you lost ranking. Dud you preserve the same page URLs on the new server to keep good backlinks functioning, 301 redirects are acceptable ways to reroute a backlink to a new page address.



Of course indicidual pages are ranked and ranking for each keyword can be different, typically a site has a list of 10 to 50 target keywords they want to rank for that should be monitored periodly to gauge the SEO effectiveness.



You could use either the free rankchecker for firefox http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ or the rank tracker in the free evaluation version of SEO Powersuite http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/ to generate a search ranking report for the list of keywords, the latter has some other analysis functions.



I had the tool check for

counterfeit detector

counterfeit detector pen

money counter

portable money counter

shredder



Your site didn't make the top 100 results in Google for any of these.



Did show up on Yahoo-Bing at 11, 15 ,51, 30 for the first 4 keywords.



Webmaster tools also has the re-index request form that might speed things up, make sure there isn't a robots.txt foul up blocking their spiders.



I hear sites that have been penalized can take 6 to 12 months to reappear.

You are badly hit by penguin update. This penguin 2.1 update is spam filtering. When I check your site you have lots of spam links, linking to the site with no domain authority and no page authority. Mostly of your website URLs are deindexed.



Possible ways to recover:

- Remove all those spam links

- Try to add some social signal like google+1, pintesrest,facebook etc..Your website don't have these.

- Build links on related site with high score domain authority and page authority.



But for my personal advise when it come to this situation, just build a new website and transfer your products on the new website and start building quality links.



I hope it helps.

You must have to create back links of your websites. The link should be dofollow and on the high page rank sites. I can create the back links if you are interested. You can contact me on [e-mail]
