Two of Pages Have Been SendBoxed
-
Hello,
I was number 1-2 for my local keyword term, but now im nowhere, those two urls dont even show up in Google search results, my other pages DO, so that is obvious Google sendboxed them, i dont remember doing aggressive non quality link building, and its not a competitive term, since i was number 1 in Google for over 3 months or so
i checked this tool and found that two of my urls are in sendbox http://www.searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm
I was never sendboxed before, can you help me how can i get out of this, since its my client's website, and i have to get those pages up as soon as possible
Thank You

Hi Irving,
I did removed robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!
Do i still need to change the URL's and let the old ones 404?
Thanks
-
Thanks a lot Irving, i just removed them, but why it was there anyways?
i never created this
<meta name="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robots</a>" content="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> so after all this, my pages will get indexed ? thanks
-
Oh remove the robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!!! Check your other pages too to make sure you're no unintentionally blocking them.

<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> http://www.asggutter.com/gutter-protection-system/``` <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

these type of links are most likely the culprit. Did you get an email in WMT about unnatural link profile detected?

Hi,
But it looks like the entire site's organic visibility is .. flat line.
See a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LDe92AnA
You did had a spike up but then it went flat line again.
It also looks like you only have 4-5 keywords ranking on the second page and those are the best rankings for now.
So it's not only the two pages that have issues...
Am i missing something ?
Hope it helps.

sounds like those pages have been suppressed. probably the link building you did, doesn't have to be aggressive, just has to be too many similar anchor texts and/or sitewides etc.
change the URLs and let the old ones 404. start over with fresh urls.
-
Hi,
Can you post the domain name and the two urls so we can have a look at the visibility?
Cheers.

HTTPS for form pages?
I am creating a small business website for a friend in Recruitment. It’s very small and mainly just a shop window for the business. There’s no login area for the website, but there are two areas were users can enter information: General contact us form (giving email and phone number) Applying for a job (attaching a resume) The forms are using Ninja Forms – which I believe are secure in passing information. But am I missing anything? Do I need to make these pages https at all? I’m quite new to building sites from scratch. Thanks for your help

If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect?
If I want clean up my URLs and take the "www.site.com/page.html" and make it "www.site.com/page" do I need a redirect? If this scenario requires a 301 redirect no matter what, I might as well update the URL to be a little more keyword rich for the page while I'm at it. However, since these pages are ranking well I'd rather not lose any authority in the process and keep the URL just stripped of the ".html" (if that's possible). Thanks for you help!

Duplicate Page Content Report
In Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have 2000 duplicate page content. When I click the link, my Wordpress return "page not found" and I see it's not indexed by Google, and I could not find the issue in Google Webmaster. So where does this link come from?

Noindex, follow duplicate pages
I have a series of websites that all feature a library of the same content. These pages don't make up the majority of the sites content, maybe 10-15% of the total pages. Most of our clients won't take the time to rewrite the content, but it's valuable to their site. So I decided to noindex, follow all of the pages. Outside of convincing them all to write their own versions of the content, is this the best method? I could also block the pages with robots.txt, but then I couldn't pass any link juice through the pages. Any thoughts?

PR of homepage when other pages have more lniks
This is going to sound like such a newbie question. I don't know how I've been doing SEO all this time and haven't come across the answer. It's usually true that a homepage will have the most backlinks, but what if it doesn't? What if an internal page has more links? Is it possible for an internal page to have a higher PR than a homepage? Additionally, if I do on-page SEO for many internal pages of my site, will it only help those particular pages or will it give the whole site a boost, thus making the homepage rank higher in the SERPS?

Mass 404 pages
Hi Guys, If I were to have to take down the majority of my site, taking all content and links pointing to that content down. How would the search engines react? Would I get a penalty for the majority of the site all of the sudden missing? My only concern is the loss of traffic on the remanding pages. Thanks!

Diagnostic says too many links on a page and most of the pages are from blog entries. Are tags considered links? How do I decrease links?
I just ran my first diagnostic on my site and the results came back were negative in the area of too many links one a page. There were also quite a few 404 errors. What is the best way to fix these problems? Most of the pages with too many links are from blog posts, are the tags counted as well and is this the reason for too many links?
