Greetings once again, so far, I’ve been posting with best seo practice with rankMaths, but still sad to report no good update

this is my conclusion, Google has placed a penalty on my site for something wish I don’t know, and since no Manuel action was stated in my GSC I can’t even appeal it.

Surprisingly also my site started doing well with bing search, maybe the rankMaths seo help in that aspect.

my articles used to do well on Google search and mysteriously fell. rather than Google to show your articles at the bottom at least, they rather show sites different from the topic search.

and I noticed for a number of post when I search the exact title, and it miraculously shows, other relating articles are usually Indian articles, my site is Nigerian, I don’t know of this mean anything

Now I guess since one can’t reach Google, you just have to wait till what ever infinity Google lift the restrictions off from you. so sad.

ok, thank you very much, let me update you again in two weeks, that would be enough time to recrawl all the sites link

ok thanks, i have fully migrated and yes, my yoast settings imported. i still keep posting making sure my posts are optimized up to 82% SEO score. i dont know how long i have to wait for google to recrawl my website becfore i start seeing positive changes

i hAve optimized some posts, but sad to say that there is no difference, someone pointed to my server having loop problems but my site loads fine from my end

i hhave fully moved to rankMaths, optimize a post and submited to GSC, hopefully the results be better than with yoast

thanks, I use rank math with yoast,, but this evening am moving fully to rankMaths, maybe then you can be of more help, am only trying to study my settings such as the no index I placed on tags, I hope I could synchronize them when I move to rank math fully this night, since there is no way to cross import settings, please stay closeby, while I migrate.

OK man, I’ll try that, about the site speed please @rankmathsupport is my site not loading fast enough?,

thanks sportykay, have been expecting ur drop by, but I have some questions,

I have about 300 post should I remove all their focus keywords, even though the seo plugin will show me no SEO optimization, or did you do it for new subsequent posts only.

Again u said ‘follow Google guidelines’, but I is there anything in particular I should look out for.

and finally how long did you wait before u start getting your traffic from posts back. I I am also using a child theme

so also now i want to know why my pages always end with a forward trailing slash, causing a redirect.

also why cant i change setting to make my blog post show excerpts, then read more button, rather than the complete article in the post page

thanks but i think ‘page with redirect’ is quite different from ‘redirect error’

OK, let me explain my problem again,

my post suddenly disappeared from google search, only pages and tag/category archives appears. its WordPress site (educationng.com)

RETRACING MY STEPS

These are the three things i did on my site without knowing what actually caused it

1. installed light speed cache

2.? installed 'Email Subscribe pop up' on post pages alone.

3. Got a redirect error for my post page (educationng.com/blog) on my GSC?

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR

1. uninstalled lite speed cache since my web host said they already use lite speed cahce for all their servers

2. uninstalled the EMAIL SUBSCRBE pop up plugin

3. Changed my post page to (educationng.com/articles) since my fix for redirect failed twice on GSC for the initial post page.

4. Place all my Tag archive pages to No-index on my yoast plugin.

NOTE:

1. My site posts use to rank very well on google search before all these.

2. My posts index in GSC but does not appear in search results even when i use site:educationng.com, only pages and archive appear.

3. its been about 2 weeks now no improvements

4. i have no security issues or manual actions on my GSC

5. i am considering hiring someone on fivrr to help but someone highly recommended me to this five started google community.

thanks for the timely response, but I think this particular problem started when my post page educationng.com/blog started showing a redirect error in Google search console

please how was he able to resolve this issue, am having same problem with educationng.com
