Google Search Console "complains" about my non-www domain

I remember when the whole game was just to trick the machine. You'd see these AI-generated posts where a phrase like “best SaaS marketing tools” was jammed in 30 times, maybe even hidden in a white font. And for a while, it worked. But frankly, I'm relieved that game is over. For me, keyword stuffing always felt like the online equivalent of a desperate salesperson. It's like walking into a store and the guy just says, “If you want the best coffee mug, our coffee mugs are the best coffee mugs!” Enough with the mugs man. It’s exhausting, and it instantly destroys any credibility they had. I admit I learned this the hard way when we were buliding Mentio. Keyword stuffing sends one clear signal to the reader: we care more about the algorithm than we do about you. It breaks trust from the very first sentence. And that's the core of the problem. We get so obsessed with trying to figure out the algorithm when we should be focused on the person on the other side of the screen. I learned that people don't care about the tech under the hood; they care about their problem being solved. SEO is no different. Readers don't care about the keyword density. They just want me to answer their damn question. As soon as we started doing that, the results were obvious to me. New posts started getting indexed while the old, keyword-stuffed ones were dead in the water (we're actively removing them). In my experience, 80% of technical SEO is just delusion. So my new SEO strategy is simple: Don’t try to game the system. Be useful. Be clear. Be real. submitted by /u/biggywow [link] [comments]

hi guys i have created a persian website for downloading and streaming movies, in the first week my brand-name got in the first page of serp and posts were getting fair ranks but after 7-8 days suddenly I lost all and I mean all rankings, my posts are not even in the SERP, not even at the last page and my brand name has dropped to rank 70. please help submitted by /u/aveni2 [link] [comments]

Greetings everyone So here is the problem : About 3 weeks ago I created a website for downloading and streaming movies in Iran (yea you can download and watch movies and series for free in Iran since there is no copyright laws for foreign content), for the first week everything was fine, my brand-name got into the first page of SERP and my posts were getting fair ranks mostly in page 2 and 3. but suddenly and I mean I mean suddenly I lost all my rankings! My brand dropped to 30 and then to 70, and there is absolutely, and I mean absolutely, no tail to my posts in the SERP. However, they were achieving good rankings in the first week. My new posts are being indexed, and I have not received any messages or warnings from Google, nor have I been subject to any manual actions or penalties (that I'm aware of). I have only 13 backlinks. They are all good-quality backlinks mostly from websites like Medium. So my question is, What the hell has happened? my website is on WordPress and I have installed and configured yoast-seo and my robots.txt, and I have double checked everything! I have also created a DMCA and About Us and Contact Us pages. Can anyone help me out with this? Is this a honeymoon-sandbox period or should I be concerned? Maybe I should buy backlinks? Needless to say the field that I'm competing in (downloading movies and series) is a highly highly competitive field in my country but I mean I had some pages ranked in the first week but after that everything collapsed! Any kind of help or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thank you very much submitted by /u/aveni2 [link] [comments]

I have a 6 year old blog that I just started as a hobby but last couple of years been taking more seriously. I write primarily about luxury flights and have covered some of the world's best products with over 10 years of insights and experiences to share. My blog is doing ok but could be better if I had more backlinks If this is something that could naturally be linked from your site (ideally with at least a domain authority of 30+ ) please let me know. submitted by /u/faze3k [link] [comments]

Hi! I'm considering buying an old domain. It used to be a very active forum (2010-2019) and includes the niche name as keyword in the URL. Its Domain Rating (DR) is only 6, and it was previously used as a redirect to a site (2021-2023) in a completely unrelated niche. My own site is in the exact same niche as the original purpose of the domain. While reviewing the backlinks, I noticed a few solid links from old blogs, but also some low-quality links from index-type sites. Given all this, do you think it's worth acquiring the domain for 301 redirect purposes? What price could I offer for this domain (owner asked me what I would pay for it). Thanks! submitted by /u/exe188 [link] [comments]

Traffic from Google search is now 10%. It used to be 90%. Direct Traffic is now 87%. It used to be 5%. Is there anyway to fix this wrong traffic source? submitted by /u/StudyQuick2053 [link] [comments]

I’ve recently launched my law firm and been doing my best to learn SEO / Back linking. Been working on listing as many as possible for the obvious ones in my field. I paid for an SEO analyzer (not sure the term of art) to look at competitors back links and I was shocked in my field, workers compensation in California, how everyone was doing it. I think for now, my dollars are better served hiring an agency for back linking vs adverting for leads. Where to bring looking for an agency to do this? There’s some relatively cheap backlinkers on Fiverr. What’s the cost range on these services? I’ve been working my ass off putting up blogs content and I think Backlinks early would be extremely helpful. Thanks for the advice on costs / way to find reputable agencies for this service. Also, if you stop paying are the back links pulled? submitted by /u/fishmango [link] [comments]

I’m seeing tons of blog comment links in low-tier SEO gigs. Are these worth anything anymore for juice, or just good for indexing? submitted by /u/MrCoolBacklinks [link] [comments]

For SEO professionals and site owners, this raises red flags. If users get the answer they need without scrolling, clicking, or even reading, publishers lose the opportunity for traffic, visibility, and engagement. What is your thought on this? submitted by /u/TechPuran [link] [comments]

I need help. I applied for an SEO Consultant role at an SEO agency. 1st interview was with an HR. 2nd interview was with the SEO managers. I managed to get to 3rd interview where we need to audit in just 3 days and present it to their full panel of managers. They want me to give an audit of Tommy Hilfiger's website. My problem is this role is for mid-tier level SEO for smaller to mid sized businesses but given that they're asking me to audit an Enterprise is I think beyond my level of experience. I'm asking for ideas/thoughts on how to even approach this. Thank you. submitted by /u/TechnicalHoney12 [link] [comments]

My traffic is going down more and more, and getting traffic from ads is not a viable option, nor will it ever give me enough traffic as before. I know there's social media - but like search engines, they can cut me off anytime. My primary source of income is from ads, and I do sell some small merchandise on my site but the builk is from ads. What are other people's thoughts? submitted by /u/Djbabyboy97 [link] [comments]

I recently launched a Shopify store and I'm trying to get it indexed by Google. Before setting up Shopify, my custom domain was pointed to my Etsy store. After switching to Shopify, I submitted my sitemap.xml to Google Search Console to kick off indexing. A few days later, I checked back and saw an error saying the sitemap couldn’t be indexed because of a redirect. I assumed that was because the domain had previously redirected to Etsy. So I waited a few more days, re-submitted the sitemap, and checked again—same issue. The status said validation started on June 8, and the last update was June 9, but there’s been no progress since. To troubleshoot, I opened my sitemap.xml and added the individual collection pages from it directly into Google Search Console (rather than relying solely on the main sitemap). After doing this, Google showed that it found multiple pages in those collections. I thought that meant it was finally working. But even now, none of my pages are showing as indexed, even though the sitemap was processed successfully. I don’t want to manually submit every single product or page—but maybe that’s what I have to do? I also tried removing the property from my Google Search Console account and adding it again, thinking that might reset things. But when I re-added the property, everything came back in the same state—so that didn’t help either. It seems there’s no way to completely wipe and reset a property. Any advice on how to get Google to actually crawl and index my Shopify site would be hugely appreciated. I just want to get this store properly listed in search. submitted by /u/kohleebree3d [link] [comments]

The last five days, SEM Rush has said I've lost all my rankings for all my keywords? However, Google Search Console says, my rankings are the same as the previous week. (Although impressions and clicks are way down for these keywords.) submitted by /u/Mesmer7 [link] [comments]

Ive been seeing this topic float around as of late. I’d love to hear from actual business owners, is SEO dead? Is it worth it to work with an SEO agency? Or should a business dump their resources elsewhere? Honest answers only, no promo. submitted by /u/Sharp-Ad2938 [link] [comments]

There's a lot of marketing hype around AI tools promising to skyrocket your rankings. I'm skeptical and I want to hear from people who can point to a specific campaign or page and say, "Using this AI tool for this specific purpose directly contributed to a measurable win." What was the tool, what did you do, and what was the result? No fluff, just real-world case studies. submitted by /u/CatGPT42 [link] [comments]
