PR Drop and Pages Being Deindexed
- SEO |
These links were very low quality links from pages with low PR, low DA (domain authority) and low PA (page authority). Basically rubbish pages. We are in the process of spotting and removing many more spammy backlinks manually before we can contact google to disavow links but we have noticed the following two issues:
1. Page rank of the site had dropped from 2 to 0. This Matt Cutts article talks about how sites selling links can see their PR dropping. We don't sell links. We don't even sell advertisements.
2. The site is not appearing for our own brand name (e.g. XYZ Inc.) any more than 5 times in search results.
We have had to change URL of about 30 pages but there are pages other than these 30 pages (in total we have 150+ pages) whose URLs do not come anymore in search results when we search for the company name.They are however still visible when we search for longer tail keywords which include the company name.
3. The main author of site does not has google authorship appearing in google SERPs either anymore after being visible there for over 6 months.
Could you please share reasons for these 3 issues?
Thanks in advance
