From Top Five to None: Why Would Google Suddenly Remove a Top-Ranking Page from SERP?

Hi all!

I'm diving into a question that's been on my mind lately:

Under what circumstances does Google remove a website from its search results (SERP) for specific queries?

particularly for keywords where the page previously ranked within the top five results. It's about SERP for specific keywords only.

This question is quite broad and not about any particular case, but about understanding the general criteria for such removals.

I'm specifically talking about cases where there is an outright removal from the SERP, not just a change in ranking, where search results for a certain phrase are completely gone.

And importantly, this is about situations that happen suddenly, in one day, without any notice to the website owner through email or Google Search Console.

This query excludes scenarios where the site is affected by a DMCA complaint, listed on transparencyreport, or has issues flagged in the Google Search Console sections for 'Security issues' or 'Manual actions', which would all be clear of warnings (showing green).

What triggers Google to take such immediate and drastic action to remove a page from its search results under these conditions?

Your insights or experiences on this topic would be highly appreciated!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
