          For few weeks ago my website is constantly decreasing in search position. I lost keywords and is gooooing down.
          Although it is well rated on several on page and off page seo verification software that I have tried.
          I checked Google search console and Analytics and found no major problems. However… from one day to another it keeps going down.
          I also checked what the main competitors are doing and they are not doing well, at all.
          The main competitor actually has a creepy website. Totally devoid of onpage or offpage SEO but with an enormous number of backlinks. And of a very bad quality, which should disqualify it, still…
          Few weeks ago I changed something.
          In the pages I had H1, 4xH2, no H3 and an H4 without content.
          An unnatural H tag structure.
          Now I have H1, H2, H3, 3xH4, with the coherent information.
          Theoretically, Google should have been “happy” or I’m missing something.

          I use a SAAS platform.
          I just found out that they made changes to the keywords (tags).
          I am selling toner cartridges for printers.
          So…
          The tags are printer models and generate a url in which they have the products.
          Ex. https://www.sertit.ro/cartus-imprimanta-cilindru-color-hp-laserjet-pro-m-177fw goes to the products for that printer model.
          The question is… should I make tag canonical?
          Is it possible for products to loose so much in Google search?

                I did all the checks, it doesn't reach 100% but between 82-96% at technical and content.
                Social media still working on it, with some ads, backlinks are around 100k, with good DA and PA and growing.

                I have another suspicion...
                I sell consumables for printers.
                Until now, the products were individual.
                In January, i made a change to the products and grouped them by printer models. Example: All products for Konica Minolta Bizhub C224 are in this url wich is created by tag (tag is printer model).
                They contain both toner cartridges and developer or drum units (which are also individual products, of course).
                All individual products have decreased by position in google searches.
                Shall I canonically set these tags that contain all the products? Or what ?

                  @Dan_Tala I can provide you with some general reasons why a website's traffic may be decreasing and some tips on how to address those issues:

                  Technical Issues: Technical issues such as site speed, server errors, broken links, mobile responsiveness, etc., can lead to poor user experience and reduced traffic. To address these issues, you can run a website audit using tools like Google Search Console or SEMrush to identify and fix technical issues.

                  Content Quality: Poor-quality content or outdated content can also result in lower traffic. To address this issue, update and improve your content with relevant, informative, and engaging content that provides value to your audience. Use keyword research tools to optimize your content for relevant keywords.

                  Keyword Rankings: If your website's keyword rankings have dropped, it could be due to algorithm updates, competition, or changes in user behavior. To address this issue, conduct a thorough analysis of your keyword rankings, update your content with relevant keywords, and optimize your on-page elements.

                  Backlinks: If your website has lost high-quality backlinks or has been hit by negative SEO, it can impact your search rankings and traffic. To address this issue, conduct a backlink analysis, disavow low-quality or spammy backlinks, and focus on building high-quality backlinks from relevant and authoritative sources.

                  Social Media Presence: Social media can be an essential source of traffic for websites. If your website's social media presence is weak, it could be impacting your traffic. To address this issue, create a social media strategy, share engaging content, and engage with your audience on social media platforms.

                  These are some general reasons why a website's traffic may be decreasing, and some tips on how to address those issues. It's important to conduct a thorough analysis of your website to identify the specific reasons for the traffic drop and take appropriate actions to address them. If you know more please visit.

                    Here are some steps you can take to improve your website loading speed using speed optimization tools:

                    Run a website speed test: Use a speed optimization tool such as websitespeedy, Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or Pingdom. This tool can help you assess your website's performance by measuring its speed and suggesting areas for improvement.

                    Render blocking: Eliminate render blocking by optimizing your website's code and using asynchronous loading. This can improve website speed and reduce page load times.

                    Lazy loading images: Implement lazy loading on your website to load images and other content as users scroll, improving website speed and reducing page load times.

                    Fix Core Web Vitals: Core Web Vitals are a set of user-centered metrics that evaluate website performance. Improve your website's Core Web Vitals by optimizing your website's loading speed, layout shift, and interactivity.

                    By using speed optimization tools and implementing these steps, you can significantly improve your webpage loading speed, providing a better user experience and potentially increasing your sales.

                      Measuring the size of a competitors website?

                      I think our website is too big, far too many indexed pages. I'd like to do some research on how big our competitors' websites are (how many indexed pages). Is there a way to do this? Cheers, Rhys

                      1000 Pages on old website. What to do with the 301 redirects for this domain?

                      Hi Moz Community, I have a 301 redirect question... I just acquired an old domain: Totally in my niche Domain is 14 years old Website exists of 1000 pages Great amount of backlinks Website is offline since about 2 weeks Will place a new website online asap with new url structure For the 50 best scoring pages I wrote a new, but fully comparable/related article. I will put a 301 redirect from those old to the new pages. My question: What to do with the 950 other url's? Should I put a 301 redirect to the homepage? Should I forward those pages to the 404 page? Should I divide the 950 url's with a 301 redirect to the 50 new ones? Another solution maybe? Any idea what would be the best solution so we can save as much Google juice as possible? Thanks in advance!

                      I have multiple URLs that redirect to the same website. Is this an issue?

                      I have multiple URLs that all lead to the same website. Years ago they were purchased and were sitting dormant. Currently they are 301 redirects and each of the URLs feed to different areas of my website. Should I be worried about losing authority? And if so, is there a better way to do this?

                      What can I do to stop ranking for a keyword that has nothing to do with the companies website?

                      A website that we maintain keeps ranking for the keyword 'homeless shelter'.  The company is UTILIS USA and they produce heavy duty shelters for military personnel.  They have nothing to do with homeless shelters but continue to receive traffic concerning the phrase.

                      Is pointing multiple domains to a single website beneficial for SEO or not?

                      A client has purchased many domains with keywords in each. They want to have us point each domain to their site for better SEO.  Is this a good or bad thing to do?

                      Fixing a website redirect situation that resulted in drop in traffic

                      Hi, I'm trying to help someone fix the following situation: they had a website, www.domain.com, that was generating a steady amount of traffic for three years. They then redesigned the website a couple of months ago, and the website developer redirected the site to domain.com but did not set up analytics on domain.com. We noticed that there was a drop in traffic to www.domain.com but have no idea if domain.com is generating any traffic since analytics wasn't installed. To fix this situation, I was going to find out from the developer if there was a good reason to redirect the site. What would have prompted the developer to do this if www.domain.com had been used already for three years? Then, unless there was a good reason, I would change the redirect back to what it was before - domain.com redirecting to www.domain.com. Presumably this would allow us to regain the traffic to the site www.domain.com that was lost when the redirect was put in place. Does this sound like a reasonable course of action? Is there anything that I'm missing, or anything else that I should do in this situation? Thanks in advance! Carolina

                      How to SEO a Website Built off Godaddy?

                      I have a client whose website is built off Godaddy services. I know Godaddy is not the right choice for building a website, but what's done is done. The client has already bought the Godaddy services and there's no way I can tell him to go rebuild his website before we could optimize it for SEO. I'm already facing a lot of challenges while optimizing on-page elements. When I wanted to verify the ownership for Google Analytics and Webmaster Tool via his Godaddy account. the process failed many times. it looks like Godaddy is using some kind of caching not allowing us to modify the codes. For example, I'd applied the site verification codes for Webmasters Tool 48 hours ago, and the metatag for google site verification is not yet updated in the frontend. It's quite frustrating. What would you suggest?
