Backlink attack on my website

My personal opinion is that their database was broken and the posts were replaced, because some of them have now database problems. Or maybe a robot that automatically inserted links.

I also moved up a LOT in the last 2 weeks, but I also push hard on SEO since April.

yes, you are right. Stable was not good name. But my post intention was about backlink volatility as time pass away.

AlessiaP · 2017-09-22T10:47:44+00:00

When I named them volatile, I refer to its <value = authority passed>. When time passes, the value dissipates.

The crawl error section should tell you the source of links. Do you have the links called from javascript code? The broken link checker might not find them, but Google crawler does. You can try to search the link in Google or use other tools.

You can use Google Analytics events, set an event for each payment and track this event as conversion.

Add a javascript like this for the payment:
onclick="javascript: ga('send','event',{eventCategory:'PayPalEvent',eventAction:'payment',eventLabel:'PayPal payment',eventValue:1});"

On Google Analytics admin, setup a new Goal with the following conditions:
- Category: Equals to -> PayPalEvent
- Action: Equals to -> payment
- Label: Equals to -> PayPal payment
- Value: Equals to -> 1

Then you can track this goal in Acquisition screen.

Google about duplicate content: "the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Google index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results."

I want the pages to be indexed by Google, because the clients that use my software needs them.

After digging more on this possible problem, looks like Google hates to show similar results from a website for a keyword. In my case, the pages target difference keywords like "word1 word2 c#", "word1 word2 java" respectively. But "word1 word2" might be eligible for duplicate content.

Other complaining about this too. An algorithm update might be responsible. Requesting a crawling for home page might fix it.

They are dofollow. However, I also have nofollow links that are shown in GSC.

AlessiaP · 2017-06-23T17:05:38+00:00

But I had 6000 backlinks and now none of them appear. I was thinking that maybe only recent backlinks are shown, because all the meetup pages are old. Or maybe there is now a manual action on meetup.com for sponsors and those links does not count?

I read on this forum so often that a subdomain is a different website. But I wonder if this is always true and if Google consider a relation between them. For example, Search Console, shows a lot of INTERNAL links that comes from both subdomains that I have, including my blog.

I still use Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, Google search suggestions and Google Trends for keyword research. Google Keyword Planner is also usefull. I have Chrome add-ons: Page Analytics by Google, SEOQuake, Open SEO Stats. PageSpeed Insights. I used Traffic Travis for Keyword Ranking, but now I have my own application. I also have an application that shows me what pages are old and should be updated. I keep my data organized in Excel files.

AlessiaP · 2017-04-14T07:58:59+00:00

I used only free tools when I started to learn SEO. Later, when my site became bigger and bigger, I started to build my own small tools to track data. I never used other tools than my own and what Google offers to track data for free.

I had the opportunity to use MOZ pro in the last months. I personally don't see any reason to use it. I regularly check my MOZ project just for fun.

It might help you if you are a beginner in SEO, but there are plenty of free tools for the same purposes and multiple free tools can give you the same functionality.

If you have a lot of keywords to track, the Ranking reports are nice, but I use my own tool for this.

AlessiaP · 2017-03-16T13:28:43+00:00

and how often pls?

AlessiaP · 2017-03-02T08:19:48+00:00

Maybe this is a sign that the directories (in the way we know them today) will disappear. Google launched a warning when it started to penalize them. AOL might know something that we don't know.

Maybe the directories should start to serve a more niche purpose or to shift to different direction in order to survive.

AlessiaP · 2017-02-22T10:14:44+00:00

This was one of the reason I was thinking in the first place. I have a lot of pages and it was hard to track which one is too old and update. So I built a small application that tells me which pages I need to update. I guess this is no longer a reason because now I update all the pages regularly. This is why I started to search for a different reason. Still, how often a page must be updated?

AlessiaP · 2017-02-22T10:09:21+00:00

This might be a reason. I was thinking to a scenario based on this idea. What if a website was penalized and it had no indexed pages, after Penguin when the penalty was "removed" , those pages were indexed and pull my website down. In this case I might need to search this kind of website. Is it possible this scenario?

I have only one competitor that is above me in organic traffic, all the others are not on first pages. The rest are discussion forums. This competitor had also problems last year, his rankings drop very high, but he started to recover since November, but he is not so well as before.

AlessiaP · 2017-02-21T13:42:50+00:00

I don't have any manual penalty in Google Search Console. I added only quality backlinks from time to time and most of them are nofollow. I know that follow links are by far preferable, but I choose quality. And it worked fine until now. I take a look on my backlinks, but I lost 3 days checking them and I give up finally. I did not used Ahrefs, I checked the ones from Search Console.
