@NicoleChambers said in Why have my positions dropped after implementing recommended changes?:

Hello! I have taken a Moz free trial and am really enjoying using this service. But, after implementing the recommended changes by Moz my rankings have really dropped. Is this normal? I was averaging around 17 but now averaging 40. Here is my website if anyone has any ideas of what I might be doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you
Nicole

Hi Nicole!

I completely understand your frustration; I’ve been in a similar situation before, and it can feel quite discouraging when your rankings drop after making changes based on recommendations.

When I started using Moz for my website’s SEO, I also made changes suggested by their tools, expecting to see improvements. However, much like you, I saw a drop in rankings initially. After doing some research and consulting with experts, I learned that this can sometimes be part of the process. Search engines may take some time to re-evaluate and adjust to the changes, especially if you're optimizing for factors like content structure, keywords, or internal linking.

In my experience, I found that the key is to give it some time. SEO improvements, especially with structural changes, can take weeks or even months to show up in rankings. Additionally, I made sure to carefully monitor my traffic through analytics and ensured my content was still user-focused and high-quality. Eventually, my rankings started improving, and I saw the benefits of the changes Moz recommended.

One thing to keep in mind is that SEO can be very competitive, and external factors can affect your rankings too. Other sites may have made similar changes or improved their own SEO during the same period, so it's important to stay patient and stay on top of your adjustments.

If you’d like to take a closer look at your site and what might be causing these fluctuations, I’d suggest checking your site’s speed, mobile optimization, and ensuring that your content is unique and adds value. And if you want to dive deeper, feel free to explore my website to see what changes worked for me in the long run!

Best of luck, and I hope things improve for you soon!

Moz pro is not working well on my site. Participating in the AFTIAS Program has been an inspiring journey that significantly impacted my perspective on trade and economic development. The program’s well-structured approach to promoting trade and investment in the Arab region not only addresses critical challenges but also creates transformative opportunities for businesses like mine.

@BobGW said in How many pages for a new site for Google to sink it's teeth into:

Hello,
I've got a high traffic site I'm building. Is 20 articles enough to start or should I start with 40 or 60 to not flop? I've got good internal linking. I've got:
3 10X articles
17 cornerstones
so far.
Worked hard so far. Do I launch? or wait for 40? 60? I know thousands is best. Competitors have much more.
Thank you,
Bob

Hi Bob,

20 articles with good internal linking is a solid start, especially with 10X and cornerstone content. You can launch now and continue adding more articles over time. Focus on quality and consistency, and you’ll build up traffic as you grow. Good luck!

i have the same issue on my site tiktok video downloader , you should index all backlinks worked on and wait some time

hello everyone
I used Moz since 2021, and I reduced my website's spam score, but now I have a study abroad consultants website that did not reduce the spam score. What mistake have I made on the website?

Hi Skites2,

I faced a similar issue on my site https://dogumgunumesaji.org/. The 403 errors in Moz can occur due to restricted S3 bucket permissions. I solved it by:

Checking bucket permissions to allow public access.
Verifying headers (like x-robots-tag) that could block bots.
Whitelisting Moz IPs in the access rules.
After making these changes, it worked fine. Hope this helps!
