          Hello to everyone.

          In the last 2 weeks my website emorroidi.imieirimedinaturali.it has a strange behavior in SERP: it disappears for the keywords ranked and then reappears, and so on.

          Here's the chronicle of the last days:

          12/6: message in GWT: Improvement of the visibility of the website in search.

          12/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked

          16/6 the website reappears for all the keywords ranked with some keywords higher in ranking

          18/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked

          22/6 the website reappears for all the keywords ranked

          24/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked...

          I can't explain this situation. Could it be a penalty? What Kind?

          Thank you.

              Yeah Kristina,

              the keywords are:

              • emorroidi cura
              • emorroidi rimedi
              • cure emorroidi
              • curare le emorroidi
              • emorroidi cure
              • emorroidi rimedi naturali
              • emorroidi esterne
              • alimentazione emorroidi

              The website actually ranks in Google.it with the homepage for them all, except the last two that rank with the relative page.

              Thank you very much,

              Emanuele

                Yeah, I'm not sure. One idea would be an algorithmic penalty that is rechecked every few days (although most articles I've read say that algorithmic penalties are applied and then stay applied long after the problem has been fixed). Another is that someone at Google applied a penalty manually, then someone else removed it, then someone else put it back on again.

                But neither of those seem likely.

                At this point, all I can think of is looking into the keywords themselves. I haven't done that so far, though, because I don't know Italian. Can you share them anyway, though, so someone else in the community can help?

                  Hi Kristina,

                  • Yes, during the times where I'm not ranking for most keywords, my homepage ranks for the brand name;
                  • I haven't got any else message in Google Webmaster Tools;

                  In your opinion what kind of "poorly applied penalty" could it be? An algorithmic one I suppose...

                    Weird. So, that means that this isn't because of problems with Google's crawler not finding your content, and it's not that you are ranking for keywords that just fluctuate all the time anyway. My next guess would be that this is a poorly applied penalty of some sort. A couple of questions to see if it is:

                    • During the times where you're not ranking for most keywords, does your homepage rank for your brand name?
                    • Have you gotten any other messages in Google Webmaster Tools / Search Console since the original "Improved search visibility" that you mentioned in your original question?

                    Best,

                    Kristina

                      Hi Kristina,

                      • I mean that all the pages are indexed;
                      • I haven't analized very well my competitors in these days, however in the days my website disappears, it seems that the other websites that compete for my keywords don't fluctuate, or not so much: the SERPs remain almost equal.

                      Thank you,

                      Emanuele

                        Hi Emanuele,

                        To clarify:

                        • When you say you've verified it with a site: search, do you mean that you verified that the pages that were no longer ranking were still indexed? Or, do you mean that you verified that the site itself was still indexed? I'm wondering if you're only losing certain pages.
                        • I'm not sure what you meant by your response about your competition. Are you saying that the competition doesn't fluctuate for the keywords that your site is fluctuating for?

                        Thanks,

                        Kristina

                          Hi Kristina,

                          thank you for the answer.

                          About your points:

                          • On the days where my site stops ranking for keywords it is correctly indexed, I've verified it with site: command;
                          • when the website disappears, any keyword stays at the same rank, neither the long tail keywords.
                          • I haven't made any change to on page or off page factors since the website started to disappear and the reappear.

                          Best,

                          Emanuele

                            Hi Emanuele,

                            Wow, that's really weird! A few questions:

                            • On the days where your site stops ranking for keywords, have you done a site: search on those pages to see if Google has them in its index?
                            • What is your competition for these keywords? Have they been changing around a lot too, or is everything else staying about the same rank, with your site just jumping in and out of the list?
                            • Have you been making any changes to the site during this time? Even if you didn't change the specific page in question, it's possible that changing the link structure of the site is drastically changing their ability to rank.

                            Best,

                            Kristina

                              Hi Daniel,

                              thank you for the answer.

                              In the days the website disappears, there are drops in organic ranking like images attached. All the pages with ranked keywords disappear.

                                Ciao Emanuele!

                                If you seem to be experiencing ranking issues, the best way you can see if there is something to worry about or not is by seeing if there have been any drops in organic sessions on analytics. Has there been a drop?

                                If there is a pattern to the types of keywords which you seem to not be rankng for, you should check in analytics to see if the pages on your site which correspond to the keywords are losing organic traffic or not. Example: keyword A will be most relevant to example.com/page-a

                                Search results are different for different users, based on location, which version of Google you are using, whether you are signed in to Google not etc. so don't be too concerned unless traffic is also affected.

                                Additionally, the message in GWTs on 12/6 isn't something to worry about. I have also seen this message for many of the sites I manage and it is really just Google giving some tips such as defining a target country, giving access to other users, creating XML sitemaps etc.

                                Let us know if you are also experiencing drops in traffic!

                                  Yes, I always use Moz Rank Tracker and also I search logged off and with the same geolocalization...

                                    That kind of behaviour is really strange. Are you always searching from the same computer, and always logged off -or at least always in the same Google Account? Seems like you are getting some kind of customized experience based on your geolocalization, browsing history, Google Account or something like that.

                                    For checking your ranks, always use an external tool like MOZ.

                                      Website ranking stuck on 2nd page of google. How to bring it in top 10 position??

                                      Hi I am working on a site indianhomeappliances.in that for search terms such as 'best washing machine in india' appears near the top of the 2nd page of Googl for url https://indianhomeappliances.in/best-washing-machine-in-india/ When looking at what is listed on the 1st page for 'best washing machine in india' I would appreciate any advice/guidance on what else could be done to give the site a final push to get on the 1st page of search results. I have made more than 60 backlinks along with sites from competitor analysis via moz for this page Looking at the sites that are on the 1st page I cant understand why many of them are ranking higher than me? Any insight and plan of attack would be most appreciated from any  search experts on the forum. My website is 2.5 months old. Many Thanks

                                      Why some websites can rank the keywords they don't have in the page?

                                      Hello guys, Yesterday, I used SEMrush to search for the keyword "branding agency" to see the SERP. The Liquidagency ranks 5th on the first page. So I went to their homepage but saw no exact keywords "branding agency", even in the page source. Also, I didn't see "branding agency" as a top anchor text in the external links to the page (from the report of SEMrush). I am an SEO newbie, can someone explain this to me, please? Thank you.

                                      How to rank my website in Google UK?

                                      Hi guys, I own a London based rubbish removal company, but don't have enough jobs. I know for sure that some of my competitors get most of their jobs trough Google searches. I also have a website, but don't receive calls from it at all. Can you please tell me how to rank my website on keywords like: "rubbish removal london", "waste clearance london", "junk collection london" and other similar keywords? I know that for person like me (without much experience in online marketing) will be difficult task to optimize the website, but at least -  I need some advices from where to start. I'm also thinking to hire an SEO but not sure where to find a trusted company. Most importantly I have no idea how much should pay to expect good results? What is too much and what is too low? I will appreciate all advices.

                                      "Null" appearing as top keyword in "Content Keywords" under Google index in Google Search Console

                                      Hi, "Null" is appearing as top keyword in Google search console > Google Index > Content Keywords for our site http://goo.gl/cKaQ4K . We do not use "null" as keyword on site. We are not able to find why Google is treating "null" as a keyword for our site. Is anyone facing such issue. Thanks & Regards

                                      Help! The website ranks fine but one of my web pages simply won't rank on Google!!!

                                      One of our web pages will not rank on Google.  The website as a whole ranks fine except just one section...We have tested and it looks fine...Google can crawl the page no problem.   There are no spurious redirects in place. The content is fine.  There is no duplicate page content issue.  The page has a dozen product images (photos) but the load time of the page is absolutely fine.  We have the submitted the page via webmaster and its fine.  It gets listed but then a few hours later disappears!!!  The site has not been penalised as we get good rankings with other pages.  Can anyone help?  Know about this problem?

                                      Will multiple domains from the same company rank for the same keyword search?

                                      I'm trying to convince people that we need good marketing reasons for starting multiple domains, as it will be more difficult to rank multiple sites. Does anyone know if Google actively discourages multiple domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same keyword? We are creating a separate content website which is related to an existing company website. Would you agree that is best to have these sites on one domain with the content site on a sub-domain perhaps? I'm worried about duplication of effort and cross-keyword targeting in particular. These sites would not have duplicate content.

                                      We have two different websites with the same products and information, will that hurt our rankings?

                                      We have two different domains, one for the UK and the other for the US, they have the exact same products, categories and information. (the information is almost the same in 400 products) We know that Google could recognize that as duplicate content, but will that actually hurt our rankings in both sites? Is it better if we create two completely different versions of the content on those pages?
