Feed sites replacing my pages in SERP
-
I have a problem!
Sites like:
http://lynk.ly/
http://www.yousaytoo.com/
http://www.stumbleupon.com/
http://friendfeed.com/Are replacing my posts even if i am searching for an exact title of the post.
For example this search query:
Christmas Party Style Sets With Black Cocktail DressesOriginal post here:
http://richclubgirl.com/christmas-party/christmas-party-style-sets-with-black-cocktail-dresses/How do i fight this issue? I want to stay on these sites somehow!
Thanks in advance!

You still have these links out there. The pages linking to you are still indexed. And they seem to be cloaking for Google...
http://thesavedquarter.com/2011/03/franklin-goose-you-suck/
The URL above links to you with the text "propecia 5mg" and links to this URL:
http://richclubgirl.com/tag/prada/When you or I visit that URL (thesavedquarter...) we will probably see a blank, white page. However, when Google visits the page they see content, including that spammy link to your site. You can tell this in two ways:
1. Visit Google's cache of the page, which is here:
2. Use a tool that allows you to switch your user agent (Webmaster Tools allows you to do this too, but I use a Firefox plugin) so that you can browse the web as Googlebot, in which case you will see what Google sees on that page, which is the content and a spammy link to your website in the right sidebar.
The reason this would be affected newer pages, as someone else mentioned in the other thread, is because your newer posts do not have the authority / trust of the older ones and are thus more easily affected by filters and penalties from Google.
Follow Oleg's advice regarding the backlink profile cleanup and make sure your site is very secure. As I mentioned in the other thread, use the disavow link tool, report the cloaking pages to Google as spam, and as they come out of the index hopefully the situation will improve. A reinclusion request after the links are cleaned up may help, but my guess is this is algorithmic so they may tell you that you don't have a penalty. In either case, cleaning up those links from the other sites should help. Good luck!

To add to what Oleg has advised...
Fat pinging your articles will help you:

Now i see them, thanks! Will try to use this tool! Thanks for an advice!
Traffic from Google dropped in Apr 2012 and was decreasing all the time till Nov 2012.
In total it decreased 9 times. In November is started to grow. In October i moved to a new hosting with old domain to get rid of pharma hack! Pharma hack dissappeared. Links are present somewhere! Will try the tool!GWT is set up, XML sitemap submitted, all posts indexed to this date.

New pages don't have any authority right away so the penalization is more noticeable, while your old articles have links/are more established and rank better than new ones in general (my guess).
I used OSE as well - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors.html?page=1&site=richclubgirl.com&sort=domains_linking_page&source=phrase&target=domain
Your best bet is to use the disavow tool.
Have you ever experienced a traffic drop? If yes, see what day that happened and if there were updates around that time.
Do you have GWT set up? Sitemaps submitted/updated with latest posts?
-
Thank You for Your reply, Oleg! But all posts older 2012 are performing well in Google! I don't see sense. Is it possible to penalize newest posts only?
There was pharma hack before, but i've moved to a new domain. Links are left somewhere! How can i get rid of them?
I looked in Open Site Explorer but didn't find any links with viagra anchors! Where did you look?
-
Usually you should outrank those site but I think you might have been penalized / hit with negative SEO =/
I clicked around your backlink profile and it looks like there are a lot of links with pharma anchor text (viagra in the philippines, tramadol 50mg, etc). I would recommend a backlink audit and removal of all of those negative links and see if that bounces you back up!
Cheers!
Oleg

Is my client's site penalized and if not, why are other lesser quality sites ranking with lower metrics than my client's?
Hello, I'm trying to explain to a client, as to why certain websites that appear in the top 50 listings for a keyword are there when they don't have very good backlink profiles, and for this keyword, seems you need a high PA above 20 or DA above 25, just to page for page 2 - 3. Running a full SERPs report, I have seen that backlinks to the page that's ranking seems to be as high of a factor as PA, followed by DA and overall backlink profile. Having a high score in one of these 4 areas seems to increase your ranking. However, going into page 3 and beyond, seems that things kinda take a weird turn. After comparing the client's site to those ranking on page 2 I could see that all of them had better PA and more links to the page ranking for that keyword, so page 2 I understand why we don't rank on yet. However, looking at page 3, I see that the client's site in question has better PA, DA, links to page and overall links to domain. Which leaves me to think we have a penalty that's keeping us ranking 50 or beyond. Since our metrics across the boards for what MOZ is showing as ranking factors. The more odd issue is that looking at the line graph, shows right at the time we implemented sitewide https our ranking for this one keyword dropped, while rankings for our other keywords increased. Am I to assume it's a keyword density penalty? What penalties are there with a outcome of ranking limits?

Improving SERP rankings via strategic SEO tactics
Hi, We just build some of our new content pages on our website 1.https://www.practo.com/ray/dental-software 2.https://www.practo.com/ray/dermatology-software 3.https://www.practo.com/ray/homeopathy-software Could someone explain how do I build around a good SEO strategy to compete with others for better positions on the SERP's. I have not done anything apart from fixing proper title tags , and meta descriptions etc and of course putting down relevant fresh content onto these pages. These pages were published about 3 weeks ago - Only this url ranks on the 2nd page as of now for keywords like "dermatology software" https://www.practo.com/ray/dermatology-software The rest of the URL's do not rank anywhere till the 10th SERP too! What could be wrong and where could I have the opportunity to boost the SEO tactics since all the pages which rank above it are just not providing the right kind of product as we are and still they take up the top positions and genuine users miss out on our domain. Thanks . Looking forward to some awesome responses.

Good tools to compare site speed on different sites?
Google tells me that my site is slower than 81% of the internet.Now this is a very large news website, so I would like to compare this against other very large news websites. Are there any tools that will be able to tell me the speed of a list of websites? I am looking for something a little more detailed than 'this site loaded in 1 second'. Also, do any of you fellow SEOs know of any good tools to analyse what is causing your site to slow down? Kind regards
